'•'his town seems to have been the model for most of thc up- country villages—for all are built on thc same plan—and in describing one you describe them all, viz. a large square, ou rising ground, with a brick Court House in the centre, surrounded by China trees and a paling; a tavern on two or three of the corners, with stores and shops be tween ; a feyv streets aud lanes ctossing each olh- ‘er at right angles, lined with dwelling houses, kitchens, stables, &c: Off on one side, aud as distant from each other as possible, are the Me thodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian Meetiug Hou ses. rftill more remote, and most profanely ne glected, is the common burying ground ; seldom enclosed, or embellished yvith alleys or shade trees, and the graves exposed to the rootings of syvine and the tramplings cf cattle ! I have been shock' d at the manifest irreverence, not to say- sacrilege. shown to the dead by some of our most enlightened cities. One would think that a spot so peculiarly the property of all, as connecting the dead yvith the living, and the living yvith each ofher, would he protected and cherished by ail; that the guardians of the town would take it un der their especial care- Menu and sordid must that people Ve, .who caunot at the least, afford to enclose such a spot. At Madison, however, the burying ground is enclosed by a substantial fence find shaded by trees; hut so grown up with briers and glass that a visitor finds it impossible to exa mine the proud monuments that have been erect ed in memory < :he dead, even without the pad lock yvliich is carefully placed < it the gate J This ought not to be so. The briers and weeds should be kept down, alleys cut our, and free access giv- cu to visitors, at the same time that hogs, rattle and horses are excluded. Nothing sooner strikes the atteutiou of a stang'tr than the condition of the burying ground ; nothing peril ps is moree- viiu-ive of the moral feeling of the inhabitants ; and nothing better calculated to promote religious thoughts and feelings than frequent visits there. Half a day’s ride from Madison brings you to Greensboro . This is an old town, comparative ly speaking, and though in the centre of a rich cotton growing country, does not seem to in crease in size nor advance in prosperity. As far as I can see, every thing looks just as it did when I last visited it, ten years n.o. The In uses wear the same grey appearance, and the same venera ble whiie-headed tavern keeper who then waited upon you, shows his hospitality and cracks his j ke.s now. I was told this old gentleman had occupied the same stand some 20 or 30 years; and had. notwithstanding the many security debts his kindness of heart had occasioned him to pay, accumulated a handsome property for his chil dren. One would suppose that ar his time of life, a man would hardly think of breaking up his establishment, leaving the f lends aud associates of a quarter of a ceutury. aud looking around for a new home!

A desire to move, so characteristic of all our people, is as a|'p irent- in this veteran of 70. as in the stripling of 20 ; & vvhai he told me (he first time I saw hitn. he a- gaiii repeated, namely, that he wanted to move iwav to the new countries so soon as he could ar range his affairs ! The same tale was told ate by an old gentleman at the Indian Springs a week ago. This person has lived in one (dace for 25 years, but still never feels settled ! he is anxious to sell, that he may move to one of the new counties ! This moving propensity in our population is a serious cheek upon improvement of every kind.
