-OH! STEAL THOM NOT MY FAITH AWAY.
“ Oh ! steal thou not my faith away,
Nor tempt to doubt the trhsting mind, —
Let all that earth enu yield decay,
But leave tills heavenly gift behind ;
Our life is but. a meteof- gleam.

A dying lamp, a fitful beam,
- <JueiH;h J dm the eokl and Y>iif>nHoraW
“ Yet if, as holy men have said,
There lie beymjd that dreary bourne
Pome region where the faithful dead
Eternally forget to mourn;
Welcome the scoff, the sword, the chain,
Tho'hurlling wild, the black abyss,—
I shrink not froiu the path of pain,* „ ‘ „
Which c-udeth in a workl like this.
“ But, oil! if all that nerves us here.
When grief assails and sorrow stiuga,
Exist hut in a shadowy sphere
It fancy’s weak imaginings !
If hopes, though cherish’d long and deep,
Be cold and baseless mockeries j
Then welcome thut. eternal sleep,
Which knoXvcfh not of dreamX like these.
“ Yet hush ! thou troubled heart! be still;
Renounce thy vain philosophy,,- - *
Like morning on tho misty bill,
The light of truth will break on thee.

And learn from them, mistaken sage !

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Iu the city of Griffin is a fins Femaler%tn
inary, under the guidance of excellent in
structors, Rugh E. Morrow the President,
assisted by his accomplished lady, Professors
Niles and Hensler, and two Miss Halsteads. ,
This institution has turned out many ripe
scholars, who are now ornaments to the do
mestic circle. Incorporated with the Semi
nary is the Sigourney and another literary
society, the name of the latter not now re
collected. These lovely sisterhoods are uni
ted for the purpose of affording mutual en
couragement and befp iu literary progress,
to improve each other iu their collegiate avo
catiofs, and add their mite to the cause of
learning at the South. The enlightened ed
itor of the Indcpaitlent South, published at
Griffin, has recently thrown open his columns
for reception of the-p'oductions which may,
from time to time, emennto from the first
mentioned society, and we suppose from Loth.
The first article from the former pleases us,so
well, that we take the liberty of copyingfit,
and perhaps we may repeat the liberty here
after in copying other articles. It is as fol
lows :
Tie Fountain of Youth,
Lohg, long ago, in days which “Old Fath
er Time” lias cast off among the rubbish of
things that were ; while the red man roamed,
unmolested, the wild forests of America, and
his humblewigwam stood where now rise in
magnificent splendor, our citlesand colleges ;
where now voices of prayer and praise ming
ling in sweet accord, ascend to Heaven’s high
panions to the chase. The'wliile man had
not yet found these unknown shores, nor yet
mingled with its untutored sons of nature. —
Soon, however, a spirit of discovery fastened
itself around some brave inhabitants of the
Old World) and sent tbeiu across the dark
waters of “old ocean*’ in search of a country
supposed to exist there.
Our historians inform us, too, of a tradition
which prevailed among some ot its inhabi
tants, that in or near this new country wasa
fountain possessing the power to restore youth
to age, and perpetuate life. Accordingly,
among the first voyages made here,” an aged
veteran and crew left their homes to seek
this fabled spot. They searched Jong and
carefully for the talisman of their hopes) but
history informs us they returned home years
older than when they left. At last, howev
er, when the feeble sparks of hope were near
ly extinguished, they found a beautiful coun
try, which, from the day of its discovery and
the abundance of flowers which adorned its
forests, they gave a name, now known to us
as Florida. There is a beautiful reminis
cence associated with many names -in our
country, hut perhaps none more beaufiful or
appropriate than this sister of the “ Sunny
South.” Land dear to my Keart-‘-my home
for long, long years—land where the sunniest
hours of my life were spent, and in whose
bosom is buried dearest earthly hopes and
ties ; dear “Land of Flowers,” how often do
sad, swe'et memories of thee come like angel
visitants to hless life’s pathway But enough
of this, and onward to the principle object in
view.
Situated iu tho Southern part of the State
of Florida, and on a bay of the same name,
is g lovely little village of . Although
years ago intended for a large town, it Ims
never yet been built up., and now contains
very few conveniences, even for a village,
being chiefly a summer residence. L>uring
the winter months it is quite retired, but as
summer returns people gather there from all
parts of the country in great numbers ; some
for pleasure, and others as invalids, most of
whom are grently benefitted by its waters
and gently flowing sea-breezes. And never
perhaps did votaries at pleasure’s bhrineseek
a more congenial liauut, where, freed front
the dreadful follies of a fashionable world,
they may revel amid the bouudlcss stores
which nature ever yields. Some suppose
this to be, probably, the fabulous fount for
which Ponce de Leon sought so long.
Yet think not tlint sorrow never entered
within its portals. Like all earthly homes,
however fair, death has left there its signet.
As you wander along, occasionally your sec a
a little tnound of earth, dear to some stricken
heart for the loved du6t it bolds. Gould you
read the history of all these, you would find
that the majority bad either been killed ac
cidentally, or, after lingering long, weary
years, as ii were but on the threshold be
tween tbisand an immortal existence, wan
dered here and found a home beneath its
flowery sod. As we linger around these
monuments ot departeJbneß we would notice
one in particular, of which, perhaps, but little
is known, except to those who have visited
I the place ; there Tests the honored dust of
• ✓ “•” N-- —...
one of Georgia’s noblest sons. Near what,
was once his home, on a little elevation just
above tho water’s edge, is the grave of the
former Governor Clark, of Georgia, with sev
eral other members of his family, lie and
his wife were buried there in the same vreck.
Pc.haps they could not have selected a
r more lovely burme for:tb dead tbam “beroq
where nature yields her sweetest offerings ;
modest little flowers fill the air with sweet
incense, while the rose-vino’ climbs lovingly
over the marble slab, ahd the loftly Magno
lia towers high above the surrounding objects
n!r if to shield the loved and lost. The wil
low, too, uroops mournfully over these sacred
relics. The gentle flow of the waters, the
soft murmur of the winds, and sweet ‘lays of
the birds) add music to tho scene. Then
amid all, there is a tall, white monument,
pointing straight to Heaven's blue arch, and
admonishiug, in silent language, that we too
must die.
Peaceful ho thy long sleep, departed one
—time may roll on, its never ceasing tide
bearing off human hopes and fears, writing
changes indelibly upon all earthly objects,
and friends may gather around this thy last
resting place, yet thou heedest it not. Sweet
he thy rest until this w’odd's great drama
shall he wound up, and all be culled into
the presence of God to give an account ofe
“their earthly mission. LitOLA.
FEBILOUS BALLOON ADVENTUBE—A BEMABK
ABLE INCIDENT.
On Friday afternoon, the I,7th ult., there
*ivas a balloon ascension from the Illinois State
Fair Grounds, at Centralia. The aeronaut
ascended at 4 o’clock, p. m., and at 6 o’clock
descended about 10 miles south-east of Cen
tralia, and fastening his balloon “to a fence
went into a house near by for refreshment.—
While ho was eafiog, two children of the
proprietor of the house got into tho bAllooti,
wlijch, becoming detachocUbim'its moorings,
floated off in tho air. Jour
nal gives the following more minute accouut
us the affair, together with the .gratifying re
sult :
After the grappling iron had been made
fast, Harvisjfc to amuse his children, one a
boy aged about four years, aud the other a
girl of eight years, placed them in the basket
Car and permitted them to ascend several
times as high as the rope would allow. Un
expectedly the grappling iron slipped from
“the father's hand, and the balloon, with its
precious freight, was wafted out .of sight.—
The distress of the parent knew no hounds.
The peril of the children he Considered immi
nent, for what assurance had he ijiat they
would not be borne into some deuso foresf,
where they woujd be overtaken by hunger
before they could be-found or perhaps de
scend into some lake or 6treara and ho drown
ed ? As soon as was possible mn^extra was
issued at Centralia, and the whole neigliboi
jng country placed on the alert to watch Jot
the balloon and children.
Saturday morning at day break,- a farmer
near New Carthage, forty-three miles distant
from Mr. Harvey’s plqee, discovered the bal
loon suspended in the air, attached by a grap
pling rope, to a tree in his yard. He imme
diately hauled the balloon down, and found
the youngest child awake in the bottom of
the basket, and the eldest carefully watching
over her little brother. They had been waft
ed about by different currents of air thrduglr
out the night, and had come to a halt but a
little while before they were relieved.
The story the girl told was that as the bal
loon ascended she cried, piteously to her fath
er to poll it down. She said she passed over
a town where she saw a great many people,
to whom she likewise appealed at the toj*qf
her voice. This place was Centralia. The
balloon was seen to pass bver there, %ut the
people little imagined it carried two persons
in such danger) llerTitttc bfotlier ciled with
cold, and the heroic girl took off’ her apron,
covered him and got him to sleep. Iu hand
ling the r.opes she happened to pull one which
had the effeef of bringing the balloon dowm,
and nltliougbnot under standing the philoso
phy of the inovemeut, she was quite content
to keep the valve,open so long as by so do
ing she found she approached the earth.
The youthful serial voyagers were in the
balloon about thirteen hours and & quarter.—
It may easily be imagined that among thg|
neighbors where they landed they were the 1
objects of much curiosity and interest. The
girl’s presence of mind and loving considera
tion for her brother, may well cutitle her to
remembrance, while the incident itself was of
such a remarkable character that wo. opine
it will not soon be forgotten in that sec
tion. , ‘ .
The hoy and girl were conveyed home as
soon as piacticable, and it is needless to add
were received with outstretched arms.
*
BE A GENTLEMAN AT HOME. *
There are few families, we imagine, any
where, in which love is not abused as furn
ishing the license for impoliteness. A hus
band, father, or brother, will speak harsh
wools to those lie loces best, and tliose who
lave him best,.simply because the security of
love and family pride keeps him from get
ting his head broke. It is a shame that a
ttTTrrmvHl speak more impolitely, at times, to
Jiia wjfe or sister, than ho would to any oth
erfeniale, except a low and vicious one. It
is thus that the honest affections of a man’s
nature prove to be a weaker protection to a
w oman in the family cirelethan the restraints
of society, mid that a woman is usually in
debted for the kindest politeness of life, to
those not belonging to her own household.—
The man who, because i* will not be resent
ed, inflicts bjs spleen and bad temper upon
those of his hearthstone, is a small coward,
and a very mean taan. Kind words are cir
culating mediums between true gentlemen
aud ladies at home, and bo polish exhibited
in society can ato>ic for the harsh language
and disrespectful treatment too often indulg
ed in between those bound together by,God's
own tics of blood, and the still more sacred
bonus of conjugal love.
My dear wife, I wish yon would try _fo
keep your temper. My dear husband, I
wish you would try to get rid of yours.

In speaking of marriages for money, Miss
Mulocli, the eminent writer, observes, and we
think very jußtly:
Marriage ought always to be a question
not of necessity, but choice. Every girl
ought to bo taught that a hasty, loveless
union stamps.upon her as foul dishonor as
one of those connections which omit the legal
ceremony altogether; and that, however pale,
dreary and toilsome a single life may be, up
happy fife must be tenfold worse, an ever
haunting temptation, an incurable regret, a
torment from which there is no escapo bat
death.’’ . -y -
