and make themselves masters of its con
tents! Inquire of the most elightened of
this class if they have read Mill’s ‘Essay
on Government,’ Bailey’s ‘Rationale of
Representation,’ Smith’s ‘Wealth of Na
tions’, Brown’s ‘Philosophy of the Human
Mind?’ If they have studied Bentbam,
or Ricardo, or even Locke? How many
shall we find who know any thing of these
writers except their names? Yet we
know that there are in the middle classes
many men of high rank in intellect.—
What has chiefly furnished them with
food for reflection, and given them a gen
eral, although perhaps a superficial,
knowledge of almost every subject?—the
newpaper; that despised and seemingly
insignificantly messenger, bringing every
day some new fact, or some new idea,
and thus adding, by little and little to the
mental stores, until they have accumulat
ed to an extent for which the cause would
have appeared at first inadequate. A
quarto volume, containing the quantity of
information, would never have been o-

THUNDERING SPRING.
A singular Spring, known by this unromnn-
tic appellation, exists in Upson County, Georgia,
of which little is known, except to the inhabi
tants of the vicinity, and of which little or noth
ing lias been published, yet it deserves to be
classed among our greatest natural curiosities.
It is situated immediately on the Greenville
road, fourteen miles west of Thomaston, and
iwo miles east of Miles’s Ferry on the Flint
river. The surrounding country is hilly, or ra
ther mountainous, being interspersed by spurs
of the Pine Mountain range; one of which rises
to a considerable elevation on the south-west of
the Spring. From the road, a geutle descent
of about 250 yards, leads to the principal, or
Thundering Spring. It is in a bottom, some
what marshy, which appears once lo have been
a cane-brake, and about thirty feet from the
bank. The aperture from whence the water is.
sues is about three yards in diameter, and twelve
feet deep, of a conical form—the size at the
bottom probably about half that of the top.—
A large volume of water issues from this pit; in
violent commotion within a few inches of the
surface, yet that always remains per( e cily iran-
quil. Bubbles of various dimensions, and often
of the size of a large apple, arise from the
Spring, and several yards around it in the marsh,
and burst on coming to the surface.
On beholding the spring in its tranquil state,
(which occurs every few minutes,) it presenls to
the eye a calm surface of very transparent wa
ter, about twelve feet square, (the size of the
building around it,) about eight incites deep,
covering a smooth bed of light brown sand, in
terspersed witlt sinning particles. On this is a
circle of about three yards in diameter compos
ed iilmost entirely of those bright pa.tides,
forming a ring of a beatilin silvery appearance,
of a few lingers breadth, around the mouth of
fhe [fit. It seldom remains thus calm lor the
space of a minute, but appears to gaiher force
from below, and the sand is thro’.v.n into violent
commotion by the rushing upwards of the water
—the issue of water from the spring, however,
always appears to be the same.
The peculiar characterisiic of the Spring,
from whence it derived its name, is a rumbling
sound that frequently issues from it, resembling
thunder; but this occurs more seldom than for
merly, and is less lou i—ft is said in consequence
I of a great quaniity of rockshaving been thrown
j,)*Q the Spring; which has also induced its depth
severa. 1 The sound could formerly be
heard tno.’« than two hundred yards, and a per-
cepuble trending of the ground about the spring
accompanied it—-* 1 is now he * rd not more lt,an
fifty yards, and generally only at considerable
intervals.
Other peculiarities of flic spring are, its buoy-^
ancy of animal bodies, and substances not ol
tiie heaviest class. An individual may stand
in the spring without sinking deeper than lhe <
waist, and support another on his shoulders
without going deeper than his breasJ. _ 1 ,IIS 13
supposed to be owing to the pressure ol* the wa-
ter upwards, rather thnn to any extraordi. -, arv
quality connected with it. The water is ol a
lukewarm temperature, but otherwise not un
pleasant to the taste. When we visited iu (on
a cool frosty morning,) a vapour was rising
from it to a considerable height, and within the
building it appeared similar to the sieam from a
vessel of warm or boiling water, creating a per.
ceptible warmth in its immediate vicinity.—
The water is very soft, and excellent for wash-
ing clothes; which precludes the idea ol its be.
ing impregnated with lime, as some have sup
posed. The softness and smoothness it impans
to the skin, particularly when rubbed by the
band, is really astonishing also removing
from it freckles, sunburns, and almost all kinds
of blemishes. Were it better known, and in a
more densely populated part of the country, it
would have many votaries for this quality alone
2mong the fair and fashionable portion of the
community- To the person ba'hing in it, it
aigoiiptiart** a most invigorating and elastic sen-
sation whic!) conlinues for many hours.
Fish frequently' enter the spring; but always
perish in a few hours-C.™ C r ^ of ‘ he,r ^ u es
burst from the sockets befotC t..?y die. Ihe
cause of this is yet unexplained by a °y ae'e" 11
fic invesiigation of the properties of the *T ater ‘
The spring is fitted up for bathing, bring en
closed hy walls, with a dressing room attatched.
The first appearance is not prepossessing; and
many a simpering lass who asks Ma ifshe could
think of going into such a “mud hole,” after con.
quering her aversion, would almost be willing to
become the Frenchman’.samphibeous darling} lie
grenouille, if she could live in such a place as
that. People once using it as a bath become
much attached to it, and covet it as a great luxu-
ry. Great benefits and permanent cures have
often been derived from the bathing; and use of
this and the waters of other springs in the vicin
ity particularly in cases of rheumatism, ulcers,
while swellings, diseases of the skin, impurities
of the blood, and other diseases. Like most
medical waters, when first introduced to no-
tice, these are esteemed a panacea for all dis
eases by most persons living in the vicinity.

indignation. Misery is at its height, when it
i thus destroys every generous le'-ling—thus dis
solves every tie of humanity! The city became
a desert, grass grew in the streets, a fine.al met
you tit every step. The Physicians assembled
in a bodv al rite Hotel de Vilie, to hold n con
sultation on the fearful disease, for which no re
medy had yet been discovered. After a long
deliberation, they decided unanimously, that the
malady had a peculiar and mysterious charac
ter, which oitening a corpse alone might devel
op— on operation it was impossible to attempt,
since the operator must infallibly become a vic
tim in a few hours, beyond the power of human
art to save him, as the violence of Ihe attack
would preclude their administering the customa
ry remedies. A dead pause succeeded this fa-
lal declaration. Suddenly, a surgeon named
Guyon in the prime of life, and of great celebri-
*y in his profession, rose and said firmly, “Be it
so: I devote myself for the safely of my coun
try. Before this numerous assembly, I promise,
in the n'jme of humanity and religion, that, to
morrow, at the break of day, I will dissect a
corpse, and write down, as l proceed, what’I
observe.
He left the assembly instantly. They ad
mire him, lament his late, and doubt whether he
will persist in his design. The intrepid and pi
ous Guvon, animated bv all the sublime energy
religion can inspire, acted tip to his word. He
had never married, he was rich and he imme
diately made his will, dictated by justice and
piety; he conf! ssed and in the middle of the
night received thp sacrament*. A man had
died of the plague in his house, wi hin four and
twenty-hours. Gnyon, al day-break, shut him
self up in the same room, he took wi'h him an
inkstand, paper and pen. Full of enthusiasm,
never had he fell more firm or more collected,
kneeling before the corpse, he wrote down,
“Mouldering tenement of an immortal soul, not
only cau I gaze or. thee without horror, hut wiih
joy and gratitude. Thou wilt oppn to me the
ga'os of a glorious elernitv. In discovering to
A spirited and interesting discussion between
Dr. Sleigh on the part of the regular medical
practitioners, and Dr. A. C. Draper for the
Thomsonians, is now held in this city, in which
a regular fire of improm;>tuly, wit and satire
is kept up between the parties bv half hours al
ternately. Although we are partial to the reg
ulars; we must confess that the keen intellect
and sarcasiic pungency ol their antagonist (who
has the advantage of much ex|>erience in both
modes of practice) occasionally fqierates severe
ly, bythe manifest truth as well as the drollery
of his replications.

niatis wiih some medical witnesses, and they as
sert that the dogs were cured by the administra

that he administered the same poison to another,
dog, which recovered without any remedies.
The result is important in one respect, inns-

me to point out some salutary remedy; thou
wilt render my sacrifice useful. Oh God! (con
tinued !.e,) thou wilt bless the action thou hast

dreadful operation, and recorded in detail his
surgical observations. He then left the room,
threw the papers into a vase of vinegar, and af
terwards sought the Lazaretto, where he died
in twelve hours—a death more glorious than the
warrior’s, who to save his country, rushes on
the enemy’s ranks—since he advances with
hope nt least sustained, admired, arid seconded
by a whole army.
Fat vs. Ambition. It would appear that
it is requisite f>r the bodv to be active and spring-
; as the tnind: and if it is not it weighs the
latter down to its own gravity. Who ever
heard of a fat man bring ambitious? Caesar
was a scare man; Bonaparte was thin as long
as In* climbed the ladder; Nelson was a shadow;
the Duke of Wellingioti lias not sufficient fit in
his whole compositi n to grease his own Wel
lington boots. In short, 1 think my hypothesis
to be fairly Immeout, that fit and ambition are
incompatible. Ambiiion seems tn depend upon
the irritation of bile acting ii|tnn delicate mu
cous tissues. Now this is utterly impossible in
a fat man, for the blood is so much taken up in
forming adipous m-it'er that it cannot afford to
do much for tin* biliary secretion. Given man
half a d'.zen stones of good suet, as a kind of
cushion for his bones, and he will jog along life’s
turnpike without troubling others or himself ei
ther much.
Praise b- gets envy, and the more liberally it
is bestowed upon particular persons, the greater
wiil lie ihe number of those persons who look at
them through n he.nm instead of glass. Men are
more apt lo see fully iu others than to detect it
ir» themselves.
A GOOD STORY.
The most extraordinary and the best attested
instance of enthusiasm, existing in conjunction
....!) perseverance, is related oftho founder of
the Foley famiiv. This mart, w ho was a fid
dler living near Stourbridge, was often witnessof
the immense labor and loss of time caused by
dividing the rods of iron, necessary in the pro
cess of making nails. The discovery of the
process, called splitting, in works called
split'ing mills, was first made in Sweden, and
the consequences of this advance in art wore
most iiisastious to the manufacturers of iron a-
bout Stou bridge.—Foley, the fiddler, was
slio- tlv missed from his accustomed rounds, and
was not again seen for mnnv years He had
mentally resol ed to ascertain by what means
the process of splitting of bars of i'on was ac
complished; and, without communicating his in-
tent on to a single human being, he proceeded
to Hull, and thence, without funds, worked his
passage to the Swedish iron port. Arrived in
Sweden he begged and fiddled his way to the
iron-foundries, where, after a time, he became a
universal favorite with the work-men; and, from
the apparent entire absence of intelligence, or
anything like ultimate object, he was received
into Die works, to every part >.f which he had
access. He teok the advantage 'hits offered,
and Iiaving stored iris mem hv with observations
and all 'he combi, tali’ms, he di-appearcd from
among his kind fra: ds as he hud tppeired, no
one knew whence or vv ie her. On l.is re urn
to England, he c.-imii micated his voyage and itr.
results to Mr. Kmgln and another person in he
neighborhood, with whom he associated, and by
whom the necesssaiy buildings were erected and
machinery provided- When, ai length, every
thing was prepared, it was found that the ma
chinery w..ul i not act; at all events, it did no:
answer t' esole end of its erection—it would not
split the bar of'run. Feley disappeared again,
and it was concluded'hat shame and mortifica
tion at his failure had driven him away for ever
Not so; again, though some what more spee.‘M_ v ,
he found his way lo the Swedish iron-wotks,
where he was received most joyfully, and to
make sure of their fiddler, he was lodged in the
splitting room itself. Here was the very aim
and the end of his life attained beyond his utmost
hope. He examined the works, and very soon
discovered the cause of his failure. He now
made drawings, or rude tracings; and, having
abided an ample time m verify his observalions,
and to impress them clearly and vividly on bis
mini.*, he made his way to the port, and once
more iciL'rned to England. This time he was
complete?* successful, and, by the results of his
expuiienee, enricheo himself and greatly bene
fited his country. Pflis t hold to be the most
extraordinary instance of creo»?LE devotion in
modem times.—colf.ridck.
BEAUTY IS VAIN.
Let me tell you, my fair reader, in the Inn
guageofthe text, that beauty is vain to reform
the heart, vain to cultivate the understanding,
vain in fixing the affections on objects worthy
an immortal sou . A lieautilul coun enuncc
may conceal the most inordinate selfishness and
»nnity, and the features of art angel may express
the puss'ons of a fiend. Beauty is vain in se-
curing the respect of those whose opinion- are
worth anything, when sensible njen find under
a beautiful mask, ignorance, cold hearted sel
fishness, and impiety: though thev ti-.'Uer a
while in the sunshine of beauty, they will be
ware how they are scorched in its blaze. Beau
ty if it be only accompanied bv the decorations
ofd res* and extravagance of fashion, will never
secure the affections, much less rite respect of
those whose affections are worth securing, and
whoso esteem is worth possessing. It is not a
lone in sight of God that the ornament of a me< k
and quiet spirit is of great price.
Again—favor is deceiilul. That is. thH fa-
vor which results from natural gifts, fiom coin-
parative kindness and gentleness of disposition
and ihe favor with which females are regarded
in society, are no test of real character, and are
calculated to deceive and mislead.—Rev. W.
Lord.
SIMPLICITY OF DRESS.
I like, I confess, to see a young wife neatly
dressed. There isa neatness which is perfectly
compatible with p'ainness; and a dress may be
graceful without being ridiculous. I like a neat
simplicity, because somehow or other, there ap
peals to be a frequent connection between the
outside and the inside. The exterior is, to
some extent, a ley to the in erior. If I see a
person dressed like a thorough going fop, I can
not if I would, respect the mind of the person.—
Even where a future close acquaintance dis
closes to me ;ny error, it is hard to overcome
first impressions.
MUSIC.—A kiss is the key note in the
music of love. It shows at once to what
tune the heart is beating.
If till the newspapers which are read were
piled in a heap, they would make u mountain—
then if all the newspapers which are paid for
were placed in another heap beside ihe former,
und a mu' were to stand on the top of each
heap, the one would be so far above the other,
that they could not converse together without
the aid of a speaking trumpet.
Shaksprare has well described the gradations
of drunkenness, and the changes which it pro
duces in the mental energies of an indivdual, by
saying:—“Now, a sensible man; by .and by, a
foolj and presently, a beast."
THE WORLD.
This is an agreeable world after all. If we
would only bring ourselves to look at the objects
that surround us in their true light, we should
s<*e beauty where before we could hear nothing
but discord. To be sure, there is a great deal
of anxiety and vexa'ion lo meet, we cannot ex
pect to sail on a summer sea forever, yet if we
preserve a calm eye and steady hand, we soon
can trim our sails and manage our helm so as
to avoid the quicksands and weather ihe storms
that threaten shipwreck. We are members of
one great family! We are travelling the same
road, and shall arrive at the same goal. We
breathe the free air, we are subject to the same
bounty, and we shall all lie down on the bosom
of our common mother. It is not becoming
then that brother should hate brother; it is not
proper that friends should deceive friends; it is
not right that neighbor should deceive neighbor.
We piiy that man who can harbor enmity a-
gainst ItisfelUw; he loses half ihe enjoyment of
life, lie embitters his own existence. Let us
tear from our eyes the colored medium that in
vest every object wiih the green fine ofjealiiu-y
and suspici n; turn a de f year to the voice t f
scandal; brea he the spirit of charity from our
lips; and from our hearts let the rich gushingsof
human kindness swell up fiom a fountain—so
the ‘golden age’ will become no fiction, and the
‘Island of the blessed’ bloom in more than Hcs.
perian beauty.
ABSENCE OF MIND.
We frequently see remark able instances
of absence of mind, served up by differ
ent editors, each apparently endeavoring
to surpass the other in the strangeness of
the occurrence. We have lately been
made acquainted with an instance which
actually did occur, a short time since, in
this city. A gentleman went to his room
to retire for the night, smoking a segar.—
He proceeded to undress himself, and, in
a fit of abstraction, took his watch from
his pocket, threw it where is segar should
gone, and placed the lighted segar under
his head. He was not made aware of
the act, until aroused by the burning pil
low.—Baltimore paper.

FATTENING OF HORSES. I
To fatten a horse in a short space of
time has generally been considered » ve
ry great art, and attended 3?ith much dif
ficulty. Some authors are ol opinion, it
is necessary for a horse to swallow a cer
tain quantity of medicine to produce -the
desired effect, while others rely on an un
common or peculiar kind of food; but ex
perience has proved that both opinions
are erroneous, and that the few simples I
shall here recommend, together with good
rubbing, and. a particular manner of feed
ing, will accomplish the fattening of a
horse that is not a gairon or extremely
poor, within three or four weeks. After
your stable is prepared, provide a plenty
ofgood corn, hominy, oats, bran and fod
der—also a sufficient quantity of straw to
keep him with a comfortable and clean
bed; then notice the condition of the ani
mal for the purpose of bleeding in tfci
neck. Should he be very poor, take from
him only one quart of blood; if in tolerable
plight two quarts—repealing the bleeding
at the expiration of every eight or ten-
cfeys, until he is fat. Take of flaxseed
one pint, boil it to a stout tea of one quart?
take of powdered brimstone, one La hie
spoonful; saltpetre, one tea spoenful; of
bran one and an half gallons; mix them all
together, scalding the bran with tea firm
ing a mash; which may be given every
eight days; not permiting the horse to
drink cold water for eight or ten hours af
terwards. Take of assafoetida (which
may be procured from any apothecary’s
shop) half an ounce; wrap it in a clean
linen rag, and noil it in the bottom of the
manger where the animal is fed; at first
the horse will eat unwillingly where it is
placed, hut in a few days he will grow re
markably fond of it.
When you commence kind treatment
toward a horse that has lieen cruelly useefr
let it he with great caution, or yoxi mav
produce a founder or some other injur} - ;
those serviceable animals being too often
hard used and hall starved. For three
or four days, allowance ahorse (you in
tend fattening) to two and a half gallons a
day, six or eight bundles of fodder, or an
equal quantity of hay; after which you
may keep your rack constantly full) of
long food, and never permit the manger to
be entirely empty, taking care to change
the food every day, giving the largest
portion of bran, viz:—bran and hominy,
brawn aad oats, bran and corn, bran alone,
oats, com, hominy, &c. &c. The food
moistened occasionally with strong sassa
fras tea, produces aa admirable effect; it
whets the appetite, enriches the bipod and
opens the bowels.
Whenever a horse is-fed, all sour food,
See., should be removed from his manger,,
and washed twice a week with, vinegar
and salt; this kind of attention will, aiti die
appetite, and keep the manger sweet and
clean. If the season of the year you un
dertake to fatten in affords green food of
any kind, a litlle about twelve o’clock
would assist you* much in accomplishing
your object. In the bucket in which you.
water, throw a handful of salt two oc
three times a week; it becomes very grate
ful to the taste, alter a few dfiys confine
ment, and will prevent his pawing and ;
eating dirt. If the object is to fatten »
horse as speedily as possible, giving to*
him unusual life and spirit, be should not
be brought out of the stable, nor even led
to water. But if flesh is to be placed up
on a horse to render hard service, I would
recommend moderate exercise once every
three days, carefully avoiding frettiag or
alarming him; more injury may be dona
a horse by fretting him one day, than you
can remove in a week bythe kindest treat
ment. The hoofs should be cleaned out
every morning and evening, stuffed with
clay and salt, or fresh cow manure, to
keep the feel cool and prevent a swelling
in the legs. A plenty of good rubbing
is absolutey necessary for the placing of
flesh speedily on a horse; and a blanket
as a covering, at any time, except the
summer months, will place on his coat of
hair a beautiful gloss, and add much to his
comfort and apparent value.
