ELIJAH’S INTERVIEW.
ISY CAMPBEI.I..
On Horeb’s rock the prophet stood—
The Lord before him passed ;
A'hurricane in angry mood
Swept by him strong and fast ;
The furest fell before its force,
The rocks were shivered in its course;
God was not in that blast.
‘Twas but the whirlwind of His breath,
Announcing danger, wreck and death.
It ceased. The air grew mute—a cloud
Came muffiing up the sun ;
When thro’ the mountain, deep and loud
An earthquake thundered on ;
The frighted eagh? sprang in mr,
The wolf ran howling from his lair :
God was not in the storm.
’Twas but the rolling of His car,
The trampling of His steeds from far.
’Twas still again—and nature stood
And calmed her rutiled frame:
When swift from Heaven a fiery flood
To earth devouringcarue.
Down to the depth the ocean fled,
The sickening sun looked V an and dead,
Yet God filled not the dame.
"Twas but the terror of His eye
That lighten’d through tlie troubled sky.
At last a voice, all still and small,
Rose sweetly on the ear;
Yet rose so shrill and clear that all
In Heaven and earth might hear.
It spoke of peaqe, it spoke oflove,
It spoke as angfels spake above ;
And God himself was there,
For oh ! it was a father’s voice,
That bade the trembling earth Tcjoioe.
~THE STORM!
The night was dark —save when a Hash
Of vivid lightning rent the sky :
Tremendous was the thunder’s crash,
And loud the whirlwind’s raging cry.
The mighty ocean’s angry breast,
Foamed round the little bark it bore ;
Whieh upwards to the heavens prest,
Then sunk to rise no more.
Foot William’s shriek died on the storm,
The mountain billow was his grave,
His generous heart, and noble form.
Now sleep beneath the liquid wave.
The sea was calm, the sun arose.
Bright was the heaven’s rosy brow
And nature felt again repose,
But William, w here art thou*
The following little Poem is worthy of the au
thor, whose elegance and pathos we have so often
had occasion to admire. It is copied from “ Gems
of Modern Sculpture, with.illustrative lines, by S.
K. Hebvev, Esq. just published in London.—
Those verses are on WestmaeoWs Psyche .-
“They wove bright fables in the days of old!
When icason borrow'd fancy’s painted
wings:
When truth’s clesr itar. flow’d o’er sands of
gold,
And told, in song, itshigh-ond mysticlhings!
And such the sweet and solemn tale of her,
The pilg im-hoart, to whom a dream was
given,
That led her through the world—Love’s wor
shipper—
To seek, on earth, for+irn whose home was
heaven!
As some lone angel, thro’ nights scattered host,
Might seek a star which she had loved —and
lost!
In the full city— by the haunted fount —
Thro’ the dim grotto’ tracery of spars —
’Mid tire pine temples the moonlight mount,
Where silence sits, to listen to the stars—
In the deep glade, whfle dwells the brooding
dove—
The painted valley —and the scented air—
-She heard far echoes of the voice of Love,
And found his footstep’s traces every w here!
But never more they met! — since doubts and
fears,
Those phantoms-shapes that haur.t and blight
the earth.
And that bright spirit of immortal birtli —
Until her pining soul and weeping eyes
Had learnt to seek him only in the skies—
Till wings unto the weary heartwere given,
And she becamelove’s angel-bride-in heaven!”
July is undoubtedly the proudest month
of any in the Calendar. We speak of
things connected principally with this world,
“its fluctuations, and its vast concerns,”
and not of the world to come. Were we no
licing an event that wc consider of infin
itely greater importance than the Declaration
of Independence either on thc“ fourth” or the
28th, 29th and 30th of the month of which
we are speaking—to wit, the redemption of
a lost world by the death and ascension ot
the Son of God, we should, of course, name
t!ie mouth m which that “event of events”
took place. In this month a band of patriots,
in the face of the divine right of kingsfvicspots]
and contrary to the usages of ages, that are
known to possess such a controlling influ
enoe {*>n tire stoutest and best regulated
minds,-and contrary, also, to the judgment of
a large number of the yeomanry of these
States, [then colonies,] solemnly pledged
what we hold, and have always held-, most
dear, to the support of the expccc and deter
mination set forth in the immortal Dcclara-I
tion of Independence. In this month, also,:
the people of France taught, as we kindly
hope, an chitling lessonj to a weak end bigot
ed King, that having lost sight of their best
interests, he was no longer their Chief Ma
gistrate; and compelled Inin to quit “beauti
ful and magnanimous France” that lie had
too long disgraced,. And will not the an
niversary of this latter event, which we are
persuaded lias been duly honored by the
enthusiastic people of France-—serve to
fen the embers of revolution in Italy, in
n any of the principalities of the Austrian
Irnpirc—will it not sustain the Foies, and
irtrease the troubles, already existing to
an alarming extent in Litbunia, Volhvnia.
Ac. Ac. &e. '! That it may have the effect
tented at, we devoutly wish.
TIIE MACON ADVERTISE!!. AND AGRICULTURAL AND MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER.
An ingenious attorney, who always made
it a point to get his case, was applied to by a
fellow who had stolen soinepoik, to defend
him. Accordingly, in his usual inventive
way he ruined the evidence on which the
plaintiff relied, and the jury brought in a ver
dict of not guilty. After the vcidict was de
clared, as the fellow was leaving the court
house, he whispered to Iris attorney thus—
Squire, what shall I do with the port, for 1
have got it yet? Eat it, replied the lawyer,
fir the jury say you did not steal it.

Indian Springs, May 36,1831. J3-it
Montpelier Spring ,
iliom’oe cmiiitv, Grorgia.
f'AllE undersigned, after great labour and ex
-1 pease, is at length enabled to offer this esta
blishment to the notice of the public.
In a climate like ours, where the enervating in
fluence of long and warm summers is experienced
by all, inviting tlie operation of causes, tending
to the production of autumnal diseases, it is an
object of no trifling import to the community to
have recourse to a situation in which the assaults
of disease may be prevented, its violence mitiga
ted, and recovery rendered speedy and effectual.
Such a place the undersigned honestly believes he
isoffering in the Montpelier Spring.
Independent of the advantageous location of
this establishment ; situated in a region unques
tionably healthy; the Medical qualities of the wa
ter, arc of a character entitling it to high claims
upon the confidence of the community.
Tlie waters of Saratoga and Ballston have long
shire, rendered them places of extensive resort,
both by invalids and persons of fashion. Vnd the
signal benefits derived from their use by persons
labouring under Chronic Diseases (especially of
tlie digestive organs) have obtained for them well
merited celebrity—and from a pretty accurate
analysis, bv gentlemen of competent science,
comparing the result with the analysis of the
Waters of Saratoga and Ballston, as published by
Dr. Mead, they find the waters of the Montpelier,
Spring, to possess, w ith a trifling exception the
same chemical qualities. Asa chalybeate contain
ing more Iron thanthefortner and less than the lat
ter, with a large proportion of the muriates of sb
da and lime; the most striking difference being
the absence ofuncunbilled fixed air, with which
"the Saratoga water abounds. Of the beneficial
J application of this water in disease, the proprietor
can bear ample testimony.
In chronic affections ofthe Liver, Spleen, and
their concomitant functional derangement of the
Stomach ; he can confidently assert that he Ins
seen no remedy ol' equal nature. In dyspepsia,
that Hydra of modern times, it. is an invaluable
remedy, when aided t as every remedy must be, hy
lic 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 d< bility consequent upon a
residence in law, 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 their award the proprietor
will cheerfully rest th<> reputation of the Spring.
The undersigned assures the public that, lie
would not thus recommend the use of the Mont
pelier water, but having been extensively engag
ed in the practice of medicine in Georgia "for near
ly tldrty years,claims the right to judge ofthe
reined v lie recommends.
This fountain is situated in one of the most
healthy'and best improved situations of Georgia,
seventeen miles from Macon near the road leading

A CARD.
In commencing the publication of a
urne of the Ladv’s Book, the proprietor
avail themselves of the opportunity t W v
of again Inviting attention to their work ' " o3cl
Notwithstanding the necessary Dn '
difficulties against w hich they have i*.,V . *
tend, they find themselves at the cW f oro
first year enjoying, through an unexan’JL*
tent of patronage, all the advantages whiff,?.'
to old established and long prosperous
tions. For this liberality on the part 0 f it!
•He they arc truly grateful, and it slu g j, *
pride and pleasure to pursue such momis U
deserve its continuance. The same zeal a 8 ?
votion which they have hitherto felt ard u
ted in regard to their work, will still he t ;
influence them,and with the additional fa
llow within their reach they hope to r „, x 1 *
coming volume even more attractive tha
w hich has just been closed. They have' *
temptation many improvements, a partb-vh?
umeration of which they deem unimportant
doubting that the promptness and fidelity 1
which they have fulfilled all formerenoW,.* 1
have created public confidence in
perform whatever they may feel disposed* '
dertako. They prefer that their work ah, m
tested by its own merits, rather than rely fa!!
port on any specious promises which they *•
put forth. ‘
.Since the commencement of The I.vny’si
the publishers have avoided all proper rnauo
off ence to the proprietors of contemporary >'. (T
icals. In the occasional notices whieh they V
felt themselves called upon to make inrei cJ
the progress and prospects of thoir own •
they have made no allusion which could bcc
strurd disparagingly toothers. They l lave “
sued this course from motives of justice and nil
cy—.is well because it corresponded with Zi
own feelings, as because they believed it
contribute to their interests. They believed**!
with the American public no good end could hi
achieved by uncalled-for interference with th
rights of others, and they have yet to learn that h
this opinion they have been mistaken, TW
rouage which they have hitherto received as S L
them of the favourable regard in which their v,™
i_s held; and they know that they can only fa
for future encouragement in a proper ernplo
ment of the ample means within their point
give increased satisfaction.
The publishers of The Lady’s Book ta]
pleasure in acknowledging their obligationsto tl
conductors ofthe public press in all sections ,
the country. Hie general commendation whic
these gentlemen have bestowed upon theirwor
is doubly gratifying to them because theyUav
reason to believe it is deserved, and they hoi
that it has been productive of great advantage..
It is a source of much excusable pride. totlvVil
Ushers that the comments which the Book'll
elicted have uniformity been favourable, h,
instance have they had the mortification of im
ing their efforts, to please, unsuccessful, or in
properly appreciated. The publishers cannotbi
Sieve that the remarks, contained in a recent at
vertisement of a contemporary journal, to wise
heir attention has been specially called,a
meant to allude to the Ladv’s Book. The bin
nations there expressed concerning ‘xasUfpkt
mere reprint urn) mutilated music fi can hawi
reference to a publication whose cosriv eiabe
lishnicnts and general merits have been i'or dim
months a theme of general admiration and es’
gy. T.liey cannot think the publishers of lb
journal spoken of so deficient in respect to a tab
iic upon whom they depend ior support, si to
charge that public with a gross want of pei*
eeption, and an inability to discriminate in m
tors of literary judgement. The publisher
The Ladv’s Book know that the minds of si#
men are so unhapily framed that they cannula
and tire successful competition in those’ pursuit t
which t hey may happen to be engaged ; and 4e
further kupw that those who are envious ofsui
rior desert are frequently prompted to the iini
gence of a malicious spirit; but they will not nil
lingly believe that the conductors ef the jama
to which they have hail allusion ought to he ila;
tid' and with either of these classes. On the et
trary, they are satisfied that the ambiguous c
sores thus spread before the public are intend
to he applied to some publication whose waito
merit rendered it obnoxious to such condc-uB
lion.
I’he Publishers of The Ladv’s Book have I
served that several monthly periodicals haven!
only imitated the general arrangement of tiki
work, hut have also attempted to follow tlirirfl
ample in illustrating the Fashions. This taS
acknowledgement of the superiority rf their pi#
is certainly gratifying, and they recognize itwil
pleasure; but at the same time they cannot ff
hear saying that as they were the first to ins
duce successfully this particular species of emit!-
lishment, so they can now present it in a forntf
greater perfection than it can readily be acca
’.dished bv others. They do not make this rcw&
invidiously, but as 'an act of simple justice)
themselves, and the artists employed under the*
directions.
In concluding tills card the publishers renir
their assurances of steadily persisting in their es
deavours to improve the character o. The Janr'r
Book. Lt its present state they have no fear <t
a comparison with any similar publication, and
they flatter themselves that the time is not distant
when its superiority will be generally acknowl
edged. They have no wish to boast of cotitj
pendents iu Russia or “Constantinople,” satiseJ
that whatever they may require in this way tty
can procure much nearer home. They are
American in their feelings to build their c! liras &
support upon foreign aid or foreign praise, thoiigH)
both might be easily obtained without incurring
any serious expense. The publishers haveintr#
pleasure in receiving the untaught testimonials j*
theirown countrymen, than they could possibly
derive from any commendation of writers “
Europe,” called upon to praise that which they
had never seen, a a! whose eulogies would be me
ted out iu proportion to their reward.
