TOCOPA FALLS. “ A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Mr. Editor . — I noticed sometime a o-o, in a Philadelphia paper, a remark like, the following : % “ Two of the greatest natural curiosities j in (he world lie entirely out of the route |of modern travel, aud of them little is known. Both of them are at the South; the first Tuccoa Falls is in Habersham Cos., Georgia—the other is.a remarkable precipice iu South Carolina.” These may not be the exact toords of the paragraph quoted ff>r 1 have not the paper by me; the substance of the re mark however is given, and it is very true, hut so little did tho writer know a ; bout the objects he was describing, that I lie failed even in spelling tire name of ! the falls correctly. lie should have written it Toccoa , which is an Indian word meaning, “ Beautiful.” Having visited these falls a summer or two since in company with a party of friends, I have thought that perhaps a faint description of them (for my pen is inadequate lo the task of painting their exceeding beauty) might uot .be whol ly devoid of interest to the northern rea ders. They are indeed, situated out of the lino of modem travel—so far out, and so imnasgable are the roads and so thinly inhabited the coitntiv, that most people when they go tliither, take with them seivauts, carriages, provisions, baggage, and tents, so that they can camp out, like the roving Bedouins of the desert, and live independent of the resources of the country, through which they pass. The scenery throughout the whole country is variegated and wild, abound ing itfhigh hills and deep gorges, and the soil is barren, and fit for little but graz ing. We had in oirr company a physi cian—a man of some travel and varied information, but who was an invalid and has since died of consumption —-his wife —a gentleman who acted as guide — a beautiful girl from Loubana and my self.. Having been reared among the high hills of New England, the scenery did not at first strike me as being anything very remarkable, but my Louisana friend, who bad never seen anything like it, when we came in sight of the first high mountain, clapped her pretty white hands and.shouted like a creature ! half wild; but when after a day or two’s j fatiguing travel we reached tlm falls, and she sat down among the rocks at their base, and gazed up, up nearly two hun dred feet at the tremendous pile of rock, and at the white, changing and-misty veil floating over them, she grew as hushed as an awe-struck child. We were all mute —surprised —I for one grew breathless. The stream is scarcely wider than a New England riv ulet —one could easily pass it at a bound —it flows on over a ro#ky bed, murmur ing and gurgling and looking as if en jjrely unsuspecting of the tremendous plunge which it is soon to make. By and-by, all of a sudden, it reaches the i sharp edge of a perpendicular shelve of i rock, nearly two hundred feet high, and | is instantly broken ink) a veil of silvery, and rainbow spanned mist, which comes floating down, down, looking more like a vast bridal veil, than anything l could think of. It falls at last, making rain like music in the deep basin below, and then it resumes its rivulet flow, and bab bles on, as noteless and insignificant as before. The rocks, which come around in the shape of an amphitheater, are [covered with woods, and there iu utter “PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.” solitude, this wild elfin thing, plays on. When did it begin its fairv dance ? Jt is wholly and exquisitely “ Beautiful.”— The Indian, had lie sought all lan guages through could have found no.pth er word so appropriate. At the first i glance lie took in the whole spirit of the j scene, and christened it aright, “ Toccaa the Beautiful /” We however atkkd * to the name before we left and called it, the “ Bride of the Woods.” These falls are higher than Niagaia —they are the ! highest in America, and with the ex ; ception of some in Switzerland, the high est in the world. If the volume of wa ter was greater, the scene would be grand —as it is, it is only beautiful. Green mosses grow and hang trailing from the crevices of the rocks, and when the ; wind shifts for a moment the spray, they are seen looking green and luxuriant, from being kept continually moist. In the basin below, the bottom of which has never been discovered, are found fish of variovs kinds, eels, horny heads, Arc. Now and then a rftttle snake sticks his flat head out from among the rocks, and shakes his ominious rattles—wild deer run through the dense old woods, and sometimes come down and drink out of the basin—their thrist quenched, they , stare up for a moment at the “ tiling of ! beauty” shifting about over their heads, and then bound away, as free and un chained as the wind. There is an Indian legend about, this place, it is said that a white woman long ago decoyed a party of red men, who had sworn to kill her husband, to the brink,’ in a pretended search after him, and in darkness of night, managed tq plunge them over, and they were dashed in pieces on the rocks below. I do not know how true the tale is, but as l stood there, one bright morning, with the hot August sun lighting up the fearful gorge below, the thought made me sick. It might easily have been accomplished, 1 should suppose, bad the Indians been ignorant of the face of the country, for no one above the falls would suspect its ex istence. If these falls were on any of the routes of modern travel, they would become to all lovers of Nature, a Mecca shrine. As it. is the poet anrbT.be artist some times find them. . T. Addison Richards, an ar ti tof some distinction in New York,-made a sketch of them, which afterwards ap peared in Harper’s Magazine and in ‘‘Georgia Illustrated,” but. his. picture hardlv conveys any idea of the original. W. C. Richards, his brother, now also of New York, but at that time editor of the j Southern Literary Gazette, wrote a pret ty poem about the spot: J have not his ] l.i e ; by me, else I would send them to you. As for myself I should as soon think of painting the soft beauty of a moonbeam, or of sketching with an ugly black crayon the blue air above. I tried to embody a few ideas in verse, but threw the scrap of paper away on which they were written. They were so unsatisfac tory. But I must close. Yours truly, c, w. n. Greensboro’, Geo. ffelusjKtjk’i's. glass of whiskey is manufactured from perhaps a dozen grains of mashed corn, the value of which is too small to be estimated. A pint of this mixture sells at retail for one shilling, and if cf a good braud, it is considered by its consu mers well wotth the money. It is drank oft’ in a minute or two—it fires the brain —rouses the passions—sharpens the ap petite—deranges and weakens the phy sical system; it is gone—and swollen eves parched lips, and an aching head are its followers. On the same sideboard upon which this is served, lies a newspaper ; the new white paper of which cost three fourths of a cent —the composition for the whole edition costing from ten to fifteen dol lars per day. It is covered with half a a million of types; it brings intelligence from the four quarters of the globe —it tells you the state of the market; gives accounts of the last elopement; the exe cution of the last murderer; and the la test steamboat explosion or railroad dis aster —and yet for all this the newspa*- por costs less than the glass of grog— the juice of a few grains of corn. It is no less strange than true, that there is a large portion of the community who think the corn juice cheap and the newspaper dear, and the pr'nter has hard work to collect his dimfs , when the liquor dealers are paid cheerfully. llow is this ? Is the body a better pay master than the head, and are things of eternity ? Is the transient tickling of the stomach of more consequdfi&o than the improvement of the soul, and the in formation that is essential to rational being? If this had its real value, would not the newspaper bo worth many pints of whiskey ?—Forest City. • Spriugfied Republican says the know nothing who would not use the word Patriot because it began with pat , has concluded to emigrate somewhere, because lie was at length found out tliat “ American was discoveied by a cussed I foreigner.” “ Nimrod, can you tell who was the first man?” /‘Adam Somebody. His father wasn’t nobody, and ho never had a mother, on account of the scarcity of women and the pressuro of the times,” “Ts fte W A GHOST STORY. One of the most remarkable cases of sudden cure of disease of long standing was that of a rheumatic invalid, with which is connected an amusing ghost story. There were a couple, who were in the habit of stealing sheep and robbing churchyards of the burial clothes of the dead. There was a public road, leading by a meeting-house where there was a grave-yard, and not far oft’ on the road a tavern. EaHy one moonlight night, while one of ilie thieves was engaged in robbing a grave, the other went off to steal a sheep. The first one, having ac complished his business, wrapped the shroud around him and took his seat in the meeting-house door, awaiting the coming of his companion. A man on foot, passing along the road towards the tavern, took him for a ghost, and, alarm ed almost to death,'ran as his feet could carry him to the tavern which he reach ed out of breath. As soon as he could sneak he declared that he had seen a ghost robed in white, and sitting in the church door. But nobody would believe him. He then declared that if any of them would go with him, he would cer tainly go hack, and they might be con vinced. But, incredulous as all were, no one could he found who had tho courage to go. At length a man, who was so af flicted with rheumatism that lie could not walk, declared he would go with him if be could only walk or get there. The man then proposed to carry him on his hack took him up and off they went. When they got in sight, sure enough there it was as lie had said. Wishing to satisfy themselves well, and to get as near J u*vie,jy of his ghostship as they could in the dim light, they kept venturing up nearer. The man with the shroud round him, took them to be his Companion with a sheep on his back ; and asked, in a low tone of voice. Ms he fat?” Meeting with no reply he repeated his question, raising his voice higher. “ Is he fat ?” No reply ng’ain when lie exclaimed iu a vehement tone: “ Is he fin ?” This was enough. The man with the other on his back replied : “ Fat or lean, you may have him and dropping the invalid, traveled back to the tavern as fast as his feet could carry him. But he had scarcely gotten there when here came the invalid, on foot too ! r J he sudden fright had cur ed Tiim of lbs rheumatism; ancf from that time forward he was a well man ! This is said to have been a real occur rence. And it is not the only case of such cures of which I have heard. I once heard of an old woman, who had been bed-ridden, I think, for twenty years; and who, upon the house taking fire, made her escape upon her feet, and was never so confined by tbe disease af terwards. iUilfif Ctffl fije Cto? Why they can play oh the piano, curl their hair in papers, and lie in bed all day reading a novel, while the process of curling and bleaching is going on. — Wonderful. Can they do no more?— Yes, they, can spend extravagant sums of money, in preparing for parties, and then assemble to spend the hours in sil ly coxcombs. Disgraceful. Is there nothing else ? We are proud to say yes, much that they may do, which does honor to the sex. There are many no ble examples of what girls often perform, when poverty holds its meagre mantle over them,of which the following is an instance : A Cincinnati press states that three years ago a poor orphan girl applied and was admitted to set type for that paper. She worked two years during which time she earned besides her board, about two ‘ hundred dollars; and availing herself of the facilities which the printing office af forded, acquired a good education. She is now an editress of a popular paper, and engaged to bo married to one of the smartest lawyers iYi Ohio. Such a girl is bound to shine and eclipse tens of thou sands who are educated in the lap of luxury, and taught all the accomplish ments of the boarding school. Such a wife will be a jewel to her husband, and an ornament to society, and an honor to her sex and country. Etiquette. —The National Intelligen cer has a correspondent who Ims writ-, ten a series of letters to that paper on this subject. He makes three points, viz: 1. Before you bow. to a lady in the street permit her to decide whether you may do so or not by at least a look of recognition. 2. “Excuse my glove,’’ is an unneces sary apology, for the glove should not be withdrawn to shako hands. 3. When your companion bows to a lady, you should do the same. When a gentleman bows to a lady in your com pany, always bow in return. If our Maker thought it wrong for Adam to livo single when there was not a woman on earth, how criminally guil ty are the old bachelors with the world full pretty girls. Let voting men think of this. . \ *| TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR, IN ADVANCE. bijt gi] ifoncat ifeqlrf to JjLobe tip'll* BY HEUMINE. Nothing! and what more would you have, young girl, when that is all, in deed, and the rest hut little less than nothing? Smile on now, in quiet happi ness, for with that blest assurance you may look with hope upon the future hap piness, for with that blest assurance you may look with hope upon the future; there will be ills, and griefs, and heart aches, but still will throb an honest man’s heart to love you. Nothing ! Are the pure devoted love of an honest heart, the generous impul ses of a noble soul, the virtues which in sure your future happiness to be counted nothing? Ah! rather let prayer arise on high to Him who has given you so much of happiness. How many as young, as good, as lovely, bend the knee to ask Almighty God the precious boon of an honest heart to love them. A time must come when youth, and grace and loveliness will fadeaway, when hopes and dreams, and yearnings change to quiet ail trust in Providence, when earth’s surface will seem void of dazzling roses, and life’s sky unlit by glorious sunbeams, when friends, and relatives, and loveliness will pass before you tothe grave; but still will bloom sweet flow ers of lnippiuers along life’s way, and sof tened holier sunlight flood the sky; ifon the desert land there throbs an honest heart to love you. Nothing! There will be an hour in which earth, with its pomp and showy wealth with its pleasures and delight, and beauty, with its charms and power, will seem to you like nothing; while the memory of a love that blest your mai denhood and cheered you mid the storms of life, that went before you and gave your spirit strength to follow* that crush ed the thorns of affliction placed upon your brow and culled each flower that blossomed on life’s way will rise in pleas antness before you ; and while your spir it quiet and serene, awaits death’s smn-_ mons from this world, remember that, the peace, the crown, the happiness is yourc, because of the virtue, truth and blight example of the honest heart that loved you. 2.
