THE Subscriber, Proprietorcf the Indian Spring Hotel,
for the last two years, would most respectfully inform his

The McIntosh House is in depth 250 feet by 42 wide—
contains between seventy and eighty large and airy rooms,

dtd Ball Room ;■ large and wide Piazzas extending around
the Hotel making it what has so long been desired at this

ever erected at any watering place io the Southern country.
During the last two seasons there has been much com
plaint lor want of mure accommodations for the hundreds
that daily nock to this well known and justly celebrated
watering place.
This season there shall be no reason of complaint for
want of accommodations, or indeed any thing connected
with this establishment.
The McIntosh House will accommodate over four hun

'T is a little thing
To give a cup of water; yet its draught
Of cool refreshment drained by fevered lips.
May give a shock of pleasure to the fiarne
More exquisite than when tiectarean juice
Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.
It is a little thing to speak a phrase
Cf common comfort, which by daily use
Has almost lost its sense ; yet on the ear
Of him wbo thougbtto die unmourned, 'twill fall
Like choicest music: fill the glazing eye
}Vith gentle tears; relax the knotted haud
To know the bonds of fellowship agnin ;
And shed on the departing soul a sense.
More precious than the benizon of friends
About the honored deatb-bed of the rich.
To him who else were lonely, that another
Of the great family is near and feels.
The following is an inscription on a tomb
stone in Massachusetts:
“ I came in the morning — it was rpring.
And I smiled;
I walked ont at noon — it was summer.
And I was glad;
I sat me down at even — it was autumn.
And I was sad ;
I laid me down at night—it was winter.
And I slept."

school reading books ever presented to the schools in Geor

Also—Dr. Ruschenberger’s series of first books of Natu
ral History, comprising Anatomy and Physiology, Mamina-
logy. Ornithology, Ichthyology, and Herpetology, Ento
mology, Coochotogy, Botany and Geology-
It it not saying too nim-lt of these books, that they are the
bdst. upon the subjects of which they treat, that* have ever
been preoared for the use of schools.
A knowledge of the merits of these books will insure the’r
introduction in the schools throughout Georgia. The intro
duction of new and valuable books into our schools, always
is an indication of a progression in education. These valu
able school book's are to be found in almost every country
town in the State.
Of the very many recommendations, we have received we
present the following from Rev. Mr. Beman:
Sir:—Having with cave examined the "new scries of
readers for schools.” published by Messrs Grigg A Elliott,
witinui hesitation. I give it as my opinion that they are ex
cellent books, well adapted to the purposes for which they
2re designed and as a whole decidedly supetior to any
thing of the kind I have seen.
'•’I have also examined Dr. Ruschenberger’s “First Bonk
of Natural History (except the 8th number) with great plea- !
sure, and can most cordially recommend these little volumes

erful tnfiuence of such as would and doalarnrthe fears of
the timid and weak minded* in ; same cases, alasl to their
lasting sorrow and too late, regret, when they have learned
by sad experience, to appreciate the difi'ereiice of simple
alarm on their part, and actual exprested hopelessness of
their cases on the part of the physician. But to the point,
here are die facts, gainsay the evidence, who can!

This may certify, that I was attacked last Octob-r with
BiliuM^erer, and cai/cJ ia my family ptijstctau (an emi
nent one) Dr Boon, to treat my case, hut though no time
had been lust tn procuring his assistance. 1 got worse and
worse, and continued to sink from the combined attack of
the disease and a rising, which just then had made its ap
pearance on mv body, and notwithstanding the continued
and strict attention of Drs. Boon A Robson, I got so low
that on the fourteenth day, 1 was thought to be dy ing, and
as 1 have since understood was so prouounced by* the phy-
sicianstoseveral of my friends, next morning, being the
extent of time that was allowed me of liie ; and to all hu
man appearance, well might they say so, for 1 had been
having hickups almost constantly fur six days and nights,
the parts around the rising we*re mortified and perfectly
black, exceeding at > i n green fio'.id matier, which was at
most intolerable to those who were around me, starling anil

A TRUE STORY.
In the evening of the day Alice arrived at
S , a great experience meeting was to bo
held in one of the churches. JJer friend who
had become enthusiastic in ihc cruise, urged
her to go lo this meeting, which Alice did, al
though with a feeling of reluctance.* The house
was crowded above and below. The prelimi
naries usually appertaining to such meetings
having been arranged, a brief opening' address
was made by one of the ministers. A reform',
ed man then tela ted his experience w.th’great
effect. After he had finished there was a pause
of nearly a minute. At length a man, who had
been seated far beck, with his face partiv torn,
eu nun j me audience, arose sjowly, and moved
to the front of the stage.
A half suppressed exclamation escaped Alice,
as her eyes caught the well known features of
him who had been her htisband', while a quick
thrill ran through her. Then her frame trem
bled in acco d with her fluttering heart. The
face of Mr- Delaney had greatly changed since
she had last looked upon iti Its'calm dignified
elevation had bt-en restored, but with what dif
ference? What befitre was cheerful, was sad,
very sad. “ Mr. President,” he began in a
broken voice, “although I bad consented at
your urgent solicitation, lo address this large
assembly to nigh', vet I have felt so strong a
reluctance to doing so, that it has been with the
utmost difficulty 1 could drag myself forward.
But I had passed my word, I could not violate
ii. As to relating my experience, that I do
not think I can venture upon. The past I
dare not recall. Would to heaven thut.jusl ten
years of my life wero blotted out-”
The speaker paused a moment, already
much affected. Theft resuming in a firmer
vbice he said:
“But something must be said of my case or I
shall fail to make that impression on your minds
that I wish to produce.
Pictures of real life touch the heart with pow
er, while abstract presentations of truth gli'ter
coldly in the intellectual regions of the mind
and then fade from the perception like figures
in a diorama.
Your speaker once siood among the jirst
mdmbcrs-of the bar in a neiglilioring state.—
Nay, more than that—he represented his coun
ty for ihree years in the Assembly of the Com
monwealth. And more than that still—occj-
pied a seat in Congress for two Congressional
periods.
At this announcement the stillncsss of death
pervaded the crowded assembly.
•And'yet more than all that,” he continued,
his voice sinking into u low thrilling tone—
*• he once had a tenderly loved wife and
two sweet children. But all these honors—all
these blessings have departed from him,” he
continued, his voice growing louder and deep,
er in his efforts to control himself. “ He was
unworthy to retain them! His constituents
threw him off because he had debased himself
and disgraced them. And worse than all—she
who had loved him devotedly—she who had
borne him two dear babes was forced to aban
don him and seek an asylum iii her father's
house. And why? Could I become so chan
ged in a few short years.? What power was
there so to abuse me that my fellow beings
impassable interdiction.- I have no longer a
wife, no longer children, though my heart goes
out towards these dearly beloved ones with the
tenderest yearnings, pictures of our early
days of wedded love are ever lingering in my
imagination. I dream of the sweet fireside cir
cle; I see ever before me the or.ce placid face
of my Alice, us her eyes looked’ into my own
with intelligent confidence. I feel her arms'
ewine about my neck; the mosic of her voice
is ever sounding in my ear.”
Here the speaker’s emotions overcame him.
Mis utterance became choked, and he stood si
lent, with bowed head and trembling limbs.—
The dense mass of people were hushed into an
oppressive stillness, that* was broken here and
there by half stifled sobs.’ At this moment
there was a movement in the crowd. A single
female figure, before whom every one appear
ed instinctively to give way, was seer, passing
up the aisle. This was not observed by Delan
ey, until she had come nearly in front of the
platform on which lie stood. Then the move-'
ment caught his ear, and lifting his eyes they
iuslantly fell on Alice—for it was she that waff
pressing onward—he bent forward towurds her
with sudden uplifted hands and eager eyes, and
stood like a statue until she had gained the
stand and advanced quietly to his side. Fof
a moment the two stood thus, tho whole audi-
e:ice, thrilled with the scene, were upon their
feet and bending forward. Then Delaney
opened his arms, and Alice threw herself upon
his bosom with a quick, wild gesture. * * '
Thus for the space of a minute they stood—
every one fully, by a singular intuition, under
standing the scene. One of the ministers then
came forward, and gently separated them.
“ No, no,” said Delaney, “you must not, you
cannot take her away from me.”
“Heaven forbid that 1 should do that I” re
plied the minister, “ By your own confessibb,
she is not your wife.”
'No, she is not,” returned Dolancy, mourn
fully.’
“ But she is ready to renew her vows again,”
rained over her face.
Before that large assembly, ail standing, nnd
with* few dry eyes, was said in a broken voice,
the marriage ceremony that gave Delaney and
Alice to each other. As the minister, ah aged
man, with thin white locks, finished the rile, he
laid his hands upon the .heads of tho two he had
joined in holy bonds, and lifting up bis aged
eyes, that streamed with drops of gladness, her
said, in a solemn voice, “ What God hath joined
together, let not ROM put asunder.”
‘‘Amen !” was cried by the whole assembly,
as with a single voice. 1 v '*’ ** *’■
spurned, and even the wife of ray bosom turn
ed away heart-slricken from me ? Alas ! my
friends, it was a mad indulgence in mockery!
A very demon—a Circe, changing the human
into the bestial. But fur this, 1 were now an
honorable and usfefuT representative in Con
gress, pursuing after my country’s good, and
blest’ in the borne circle with wife and children.
But I have not told you all. After my wife
separated from me, l sank rapidly.
A slate of perfect sobriety b ought too many
terrible thoughts; I iherefere drank more free
ly, nnd was-rarely, if ever, from under the be
wildering effects of partial intoxication. I re
mained in the same village for some years, but
never once saw her during that time—nor a
glimpse of my children. At last I became so
abandoned in my life, that my wife, urged on
bv her friends, no doubt, filed an application /6r
a divorce, and as cause could easily be shown
whv it should be granted, a separation was le
gally declated. To complete my disgrace,’ at.
REAL GREATNESS.
He who no sesses the divine powers of the
soul, is a great being, be bis place where if
may. You may clothe him with rags, chain
him to slavish lasks—but he is siill great.
You may shut him out of your house, but God
opens lo him heavenly m .nsions. He makes
no show indeed in the streets of a splendid
city, but a clear thought—a pure affection, if
resolute art of a virtuous life, will have a
dignity of quite another kind and far higher
than accumulations of brick and granite, of
plas’er and stucco, however cunningly put to
gether, or though stretching far beyond our
sight. Nor is this all. Beal greatness has
nothing to do with a man’s sphere. It does
not lie in the mtigtiitude of his own outward
agency in the^extent of the effect which it
produces. Perhaps tho greatest men iu out-
city, at tbis moment, are buried in obscurity.
Grandeur of character is wholly in the force of
-thought, moral principle and love, nnd this may
be found in the humblest condition of life. A
man brought up to an obscure trade, and hem
med in by the wants of a growing family, may
in this narrow sphere perceive more clearly,
discriminate more keenly, weigh evidence mote
wisely, seize on the right means more deci
sively, hove more presence of mind in difficulty
than another who has accumulated vast stores
of knowledge by laliut-imic daily, nnd Iro bn«
more of intellectual greatness. Many a man
who lias gone but a few miles from home;
understands human nature better, detects mo
tives and weighs character more sagaciously,
than another who has travelled over the known
world, and makes a name by hts reports of
different countries. It is the force of thought
which measures intellectual, and*so it is the
force of principle that measures moral greatness,
that highest of human endowments, that bright
est manifesto" of tjie divinity. The greatest
man is he who chooses the right with invincible "
resolution, who resists the sore temptations
from within, and without, who bears the most
heavy burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in
storms and most fearless under menace and
frowns, whose reliance on truth, on viitue, on
God, is most unfaltering—and is this a great
ness which is apt to make a show, or which is
most likely to abound in conspicuous stations.
