TIIE ROSE OF MAY.
■Jarne, author of “Lettersfrom the East.”
I said the flower would bloom no more,
That wither’d yesterday;
•That morning dews would ne’er restore
My lovely rose of May.
The future was too cold a thing
In my sweet dream to be ;
The present rose, the pri sent spring,
Are all of life to me.
I do remember wt 11 my grief,
\Y hen died my flower—and then
My joy. w hen tune brought, leaf by leaf,
As sweet a flower again.
And then 1 said, “Farewell, despair,
Thou art no guest for me;
Whate’er I loose of bright er fi.ir,
1 hope again to see.”
Alas! I’ve often wept s'ncethen,
And death has robbed my bowers :
But even amidst the griefs of men,
I’ve comfort found in flowers.
For, rftiie bloom yf love be brief,
And if Fame’s crown be riven,
*
1 would not mourn life’s fading leaf,
Buthope for spring in heaven.
JEPHTiIA’S DAUGHTER.
F. om the Hebrew Melodies.
BY BRAHAM AND NATHAN.
Since our countr)", our God, oh ! my sire,
Demand that thy daughter expire,
Since thy triumph was brought by thy vow,
Strike the besom that’s bar'd to tin enow !
And of this, oh ! my father, he su:e
That the blood of thy child is as pure
As tire blessing l beg ere it flow,
And the last thought that soothes me below.
Though the virgins of Salem lament,
Be the judge and the hero unbent!
I have won the great battle lor thee.
And iny father and country are free.
When the blood of thy giving hath gush’d,
When the voice that thou lovett is hush’d,
Letmy memory still be thy pride,
And forget not 1 smil'd when I died.
THE LAST SONG OF SAPPIIO.
BY MRS. HKMAN§.
Srur.d on, thou dark unslumbering sea !
My dirge, is in thy moan ;
TJy spirit finds response in thee,
’To its own ceaseless cry—“ Alone, alone !
a ‘. . end me hack one other word,
Ye tones that never cease!
O':! let your hidden leaves be stirt’d,
Anti say, deep waters ! can you give me peace!
Away ! my weary soul hath sought
In vain one echoing sigh,
L':.e answer to consuming thought
In human breasts—and will the wave reply ?
*
Sound on, thou dark unslumbering sea !
found in thy scorn anil pride !
1 ask not, alien world, from /Are,
What rryowj kindred earth hath still denied!
And yet I loved that earth so well,
\\ itli all its lovely tilings !
AY hat is for iklt the death wind fell
On my rich lyre, and quenched its living
strings ?
Let them lie silent at my feet!
Mace, broken even ns they,
Tise heart whose music made them sweet,
fitttb jour don dc-ert siudni a wealth away!
THE MACON ADVERTISER, AND AGRICULTURAL AND MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER.
Yet glory’s light hath touched my name,
The laurel wreath is mine—
V' ith a worn heart, a weary frame,
O! restless Deep, I come to make them thine!
Giving to that crown, that burning crown,
Place in thy darkest hold !
JJurymy anguish, my renown,
With hidden wrecks, lost gems, and wasted
gold I
Thou sea bird, on tire billow’sxrest,
Thou hast thy love, thy home !
They wait thee in tire quiet nest —
And I—unsought, unwatch’d for—l too
come!
I wish this w inged nature fraught
These visions, brightly free.
This boundless love, this fiery thought—
Alone, l come ! O! give me peace, dark Sea !

During the Revolutionary War, when a
corps of the American army were encamped
near the borough of Elizabethtown in New
| Jersey—an ollicer who was more of a devo
j tec of Venus, than of Mars, paid his addresses
Ito a lady of distinction, whom he was in the
; the habit of l isting nightly, in the cultivation
; of those kindly feelings which love so cordi
ally inspires. On a discovery ol' the cause of
the repeated absence ol the officer, and of
j the place where his interview s w ith his dulci-
I ca were had, some.waggisli friends resolved
to play off a handsome trick at his expense,
which should deter him from a repetion ofhis
amorous visits. The officer it appears rode a
very small horse ol the pony kind, w hich he
always left untied, with the bridle reins over
his neck near the door, in order to mount
and ride off without delay, when the business
of courting and kissing" was over; and the
horse always remained until backed by the
owner, w ithout attempting to change his po
sition. On a certain very dark night,-when
the officer had as usual, gone to pay his de
voirs to the object of his affections, and was
enjoying the approving smiles of the lovely
lair one; bis waggish companions went pri
vately to the door ol the house where the offi
cer was; took the bridle and saddle from the
horse,which t hey sent quietly away .placed the
former on the tail, and the latter on the hack
of a very sober ruminative old cow, (with the
crupper over his horns,) who stood peaceably
chewing her ci; !, near the spot. Immediate
ly thereafter, they retired some distance from
the house, and separating, raised the loud cry
of alarm, that the enemy had landed, and
were inarching in full force into the village.
On hearing the voice of alarm, the people run
out greatly excited; & consternation entering
(•very dwelling, found its unwelcome way spee
dily, into the household temple where our
official ii ro was worshipping. Taking coun
sel from his fears, and snatching a hasty kiss,
lie startiTom the lady’s chamber, krush ng
rapidly downstairs, shot out of doors with the
velocity of a musket ball, and owing to the
darkness, not seeing the interesting change in
the conformation ofhis nag, mounted hastily
into flic saddle, with his back towards the
head of the cow, and plunging his sharp spurs
deeply into her side, caused her to bawl out
with excessive pain,A: she darted off in gallant
style, A in her best gallop made the camp. The
officer still [dying his trusty spurs and whip to
the skin ami hones of the suffering old animal
and with all ins wine and love on hoard—
finding hiins elf hurried rapidly backwards,
inaugre all his efforts to advance ; and hear
ing the repeated baw lings of the tortured and
frightened beast, imagined that he was car
ried off by magic, and roaring out most lustily
that file devil had got him—was carried in this
state ol perturbation into the very alignment
oi the camp. The courageous sentinels, hear
ing the jrotse, and imagining no doubt, that
Hannibal and his oxen were coming, dischar
ged their pieces ami tied as if the devil had
chased them • (lie alarm guns were fired—the
drums beat to arms; the officers left their quar
ters A cried, turnout ! turnout!! with all the
strength of their lungs. The soldiers started
from their sleep as if a ghost had crossed their
dreams—and the. whole body running, half
naked, together, formed as quick as possible
i gallant dishabille, prepared to repel the
terrible invader. When lo ! the ludicrous sight
soon presented itself to their eyes,of thegallant
officer, mounted on an old cow, with his fact
towards her tail, and this appendage sticking
straight"out behind ; her tongue hanging out
—ln r sides gory with the grievous gigging of
the spurs, nml himself, owing to his excessive
tear, almost deprived of reason, and half, and
halt petrified with horror. A loud and general
roar of la io iter broke from the assembled
band, at the rider and his steed—the whole
corps gav him three times three hearty cheers
as he bolt, and into camp, and lie was seized
and carried to his quarters in triumph, there to
dream of love’s metamorphoses, backward
rides,' sternway adv ances, and alarms of inva
sion, and thereby to garnish his mind with ma
terials for writing a splendid treatise on the
novel adventure of cow-oloirv.
Trims explanation of the ffth command
ment.—“Pr’yth/'e, Trim,” quoth mv father—
“what dost thou mean, by honoring thy father
and mother V “Allowing them, an’t please
your honor, three half-pence a day, out ofiny
pay, when they grow old. “Anddid’st thou
do that, Trim !” said Yorick, “11c did, in

ON the subscribers’ premises in Monroe coun
ty, Ga. *22A miles west of Macon, (on the
j road leading from that place to Columbus, by way
i of Thomaston,) are Four mineral Springs two of
which have been recently discovered. They have
| been analyzed, and are found to contain the fol
i lowing minerals: The first is etrongiy impregna-
J tod with Carbonate of Iron, and a small portion of
| lime, the second, Oxyd of Iron, carbonic acid a
I fixed air, Sulphate of magnesia or Epsom Salts,
j and muriatic acid. The third contains the same
I as the second, but lias a smaller portion of the
i several minerals, and is colder. The fourth is
| like the second, only that there is no Iron in it.—
| The mineral impregnation is such, that the water
may be presumed to be a valuable Tonic and al
ternative ; which have been established by the e\
perience of some, who have proved its effects. —
Many laboring underchronic diseases have been
j much benefitted,and others cured.
| Tire local situation is high and airy, and the
j sweet or free stone water is equal in coolness, pu
: rityand health, to any in the State.
I 'l’he builders of the first four tents shall have
the privilege of timber, and can occupy the same,
j every summer for four years. I ,iht rel privileges

WARREN COUNTY, N. CAROLINA.
(Ante miles South of Warren ton and sixteen
miles Aiorth of Lendsburg.)
ON the first day of June next, the Buildings of
this Establishment will be prepared for the
reception ol V isiters. The Houses are large and
numerous, sufficiently so, to accommodate an as
semblage of two or three hundred persons com
fortably.
She subscriber is flattered with the expectation,
that the conveniences and improvements which
have been added to iiiis Establishment, in all
those matters w hich essentially concern the
! health, comfort, and amusement of its visitors,
will render it the ensuing season, more attractive
than ever. The private apartments will afford
ample retirement to invalids, families, and others
who prefer it. They arc so arranged, as to com
bine every convenience and accommodation, suit
ed to the largest or smallest assembly, male and
female. Arrangements are also made, with the
particular design of accomodating large families,
by affording them large, spacious cabins, near to
or remote as they may select from the centre build
ing, with double, and single where they
can be at all times, perfectly secure in the enjoy
ment of quiet retirement.
The Subscriber pledges hcTself to devote her
chief exertions to the accommodation of private
families, A will spare r.o means to render visitors

that may contribute to their health, by carefully
guarding against annoyances of every description.
The Public Halls are abundantly spacious to

No Public Balls w ill be giten at Shoeeo during
the season, but those who delight in Music and
Dancing can partake of them without its disturb
ing or annoying, in the slightest degree, thereat
of tin' Boarders.
Few Watering Places present more rational
objects of attraction than Shoeeo. Located in the
most healthy, rich aud populous part of ths coun
try, in the midst of a polished society, it affords
in its Springs and climate many advantages', and
gives it ascendancy over all the Mineral Water
ing places to the South. It is believed that the
water never failed in its senative upon
persons afflicted with Dyspepsia, Billions dis
eases and general debility, where they have per
servered in its use.

mflontpelier Spring, 1
Ifloeiroc county, Georgia.
PfMIE undersigned, after great labour and ex-1
Spense, is at length enabled to offer this csta-I
blishment to the mjlice of the public.
In a climate like ours, w here the enervating in
fluence of long and warm summers is experienced
by all, inviting the operation of ransrs, tending
to the production of autumnal diseases, it is an I
object of no trifling import to the community to
have recourse to a situation in which the assaults
of disease may ho prevented, its violence mitiga
ted, and recovery rendered speedy and effectual.
Such a place the undersigned honestly believes he
is offering in the Montpelier Spring.
Independent of tire advantageous location of
this establishment ; situated in a region unques
tionably healthy; the Medical qualifier- of the wa
ter, are of a character entitling it to high claims
upon the confidence of the community.
The waters of Saratoga and Ballston have long
since, rendered them places of extensive resort,
both by invalids and persons of fashion. And the
signal benefits derived from their use by persons
labouring under Chronic Diseases (especially of
the digestive organs) have obtained for them well
merited celebrity—and from a pretty accurate
analysis, by gentlemen of competent science,
comparing the result with the analysis of the
W aters oi Saratoga and Ballston, as published by
Dr. Mead, they find the waters of the Montpelier
Spring, to possess, with a trifling exception the
same chemical qualities. Asa chalybeate contain
ing more Iron than theforraer and less than the lat
ter, with a large proportion of the muriates of so
| da and lirne ; the most striking difference being
the absence ofuncombined fixed air, with which
the Saratoga water abounds. Of the beneficial
application of this “water in disease, the proprietor
can bear ample testimony.
In chronic affections of the Liver, Spleen, and
their concomitant functional derangement of the
Stomach; he can confidently assert that he lias
seen no remedy of equal nature* In dyspepsia,
that Hydra of modern times, it is an invaluable
remedy, when aided as every remedy must be, by
the temperate use of a well selected regimen. In
diseases of the skin, and particularly Tetter in all
itsvariety, it is a certain remedy.ln dropsies from
visceral obstructions, chronic rheumatism, and
that, relaxation and debility consequent upon a
residence in low, unhealthy situations, its value
is not easily estimated. Abundant testimony could
be produced to establish the truth of this state
ment, were it necessary; but an intelligent com
munity will make the experiment and decide for
themselves ; and with tlreir award the proprietor
will cheerfully rest the reputation of the Spring.
The undersigned assures the public that’ lie
would not thus recommend the use of the Mont
| peller water, but having been extensively engae
! ed in the practice of medicine in Georgia for nea*r
! ly thirty years, claims the right to Judge of fire
j remedy he recommends.
, I bis fountain is situate,! in one of the most
| healthy and best improved, situations of Georgia,
! seventeen miles from Macon near the road leading
! from that place to Tliomaston. His buildiim is
| large, airy and comfortable, situated on an eini
i neuee, ljtah and commanding; surrounded by
! springs of llie purest water, anil refreshed by an
j atmosphere pure and invigorating.
jhe proprietor will be able to aecommodate
comfortably one hundred regular boarders, and as
many transient persons as may favor him w ith
their company ; and as interest and liberality are
inseparably connected in such business, it is his
determination to keep as good a house in every
sense of the expression, as is kept elsewhere in
the up-ccuntry. His BAR will be stored with the
best ; his STABLE S well furnished and attended.
His prices w ill be the Same as those charged at
tire Indian Spring - .
Comfortable Tents will be prepared for those
who prefer furnishing their own board.

bered real ectate, worth double the amount of

MY recent relinquishment of a participation
. in the editorial labors of an old and well
established journal, would seem to require but
few preliminary remarks, in the proposed under
taking, were it not, that they are usually deman
ded hy public expectation, and sanctioned bv
custom. As there is no good reason why
“time-honored observance” should be disrcWid
cd in the present instance, I shall submit anepit?
ome of my principles, and the course which shall
he observed in conducting anew journal. Tin
object ef the proposed publication beino- "purely
what its title implies, supercedes the necessity
of that political commentary which the doctrines
id' the day have usually demanded; yet, as nn
former professions are held with unabated at
tachment, and there being no neutral ground m
(lie conflicting aud varied sentiments, which dai
ly arise, as to both men and measures—it follows,
that I should not only make an exposition of un
political tenet-;, hut’ also, that thev should
boldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. 1 have
ever indulged an ardent devotion to Republican
ism, as the term was understood by its advocates
in ’DB—a sacred regard to the letter and spirit" of
the Constitution, and a determined and fixed Ims
tility to every thing like constructive or implied
powers—an extension of equal justice to all par
ties—that all power is inherent in and derived
from the people, as the original. Source and ulti
mate tribunal—the independence and distinct so
vereigaty of the States, and their confederacy as
a Union, under a government limited and actual
.y defined in its powers. These are the promi
nent articles of my political faith, aud believiao
in their correctness, shall abide by them in even
trial. J
Among the many topics of deep interest that
agitate tire people of all classes, is the exercise
of unwarrantable governmental influence on the
industry and resources of the country, and the
unconstitutional expenditure of the public treas
ure to objects of Internal Improvement—measures
too frequently destitute of general benefit, and of
tentimes marked by a spirit of partiality, selfish
ness and injustice. It would be criminal for one
“seated on the watch-tower,” and in the exercise
of the duties which belong to the Press, to ob
serve, with callous indifference, the causes which
have, produced, and the effects which have no
suited from the latitudinary construction of the
('(institution. The dangerous consequences which
may ensue, are already indicated hy the excited
feelings ol the country. lam deeply impressed
that wrong has been done, and evil tolerated—
yet, with a spirit of forbearance, it would be bel
ter for the oppressed to hear their evils whilst
they are tolerable, than *‘fly to those they knew
not of.”
The present is an era in the history of our gov
j eminent, distinguished for improvement. Tin
; lover of his country beholds it on its “return
inarch” to its original purity and principles.—
Already has the distinguished head of the gov
; eminent, said —“The successful operation ol the
federal-system can only be preserved by confin
; iug it to the few and simple, hut yet important
, objects for which it was designed.” This is a
guarantee, that the purpose of the present. Kxc
cutive of the. Union and his supporters, is an ef
fort to restore the Constitution to its original
healthy and unimpaired condition. lam happy
to accord with the Administration and its friend's
in the wise and well directed course which is
pursued by them.
The time was, when to diswnt from the nv a
sures of any of the prominent parties of our State,
by an attachment to any of the others, or to their
then distinguished organs, implied an hostility
and acrimony" which frequently ICid no bounds,
and rendered “Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation,''
an empty and absurd profession. The times and
circumstances have now become more congenial
to better feelings: the perplexing difficulties
which have surrounded us—those emanating
abroad, and fostered at home, have subsided,
with the acknowledgment of our rights, and the
successful accomplishment of nearly all the ends
which we have contended for. 1 can review rav
past course in relation to State affairs, with cheer
ing approbation; my future efforts will he inti
mately connected with the past.; and it is hoped,
without offence to an adverse party. The writer
does not believe in the infallibility of man,.nor
in their perfection as a party; it will therefore bo
my endeavor to support worthy men, and ap
prove such orthodox measures as may emanate
from genuine patriotism and unadulterated’ re
publicanism—such measures as will best answer
the ends of our free government, pud of our
State’s interest:—such men as will “defend the
rights of the People, the Sovereignty ef the
States, and the Constitutional authority of the
Union against all encroachments.”
It shall be my studious endeavor to render the
Intelligencer an Agricultural and Mercantile ve
hicle: t° effect it, 1 shall hasten to possess my
self of all the necessary materials which these
ample subjects furnish, to unfold every species
of information which will be thought to instruct,
to interest, and to please. It is believed, that
the mutual conjunction of interest, between the
Merchant and Planter, cannot fail to render in’-
ceptabla to one, whatever may benefit the other.
My r.iforts shall he used to procure tho burliest
and most useful mercantile information,' and l.v
ii before the public; and it will be tnydesitsi C
go into Rural Affairs, and gamer the eh deest and
best offerings fur my Agrir.ultural readers.
