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. ttUtnUES COUPEE, CABINET & FVRNITUKE MANUFACTURER. H AS purchased of Mr. Win, R.

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 from that place to Thomaston. His building is large, airy and comfortable, situated on an emi nence, high and commanding; surrounded by springs ofthe purest water, and refreshed by an atmosphere pure and invigorating. The proprietor will be able to accommodate comfortably one hundred regular boarders, and as many transient persons ns 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 ofthe expression, as is kept elsewhere in the up-country. His B. .R w ill he stored with the la st; his S 1 A BEEN \\ < if furni died and attended. His prices will be the same as those charged at the Indian Spring. < Jomfortable Tents will be prepared for those whopreier furnishing their own board. NICHOLAS CHILDERS.

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.

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.
