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. INTERESTING FBOM CHINA—THE AMERICAN THBATT.

A Gotoess THouuht Skt i.v Pbarls.— 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 - “I’tn afloat !_ I’m afloat !” screamed a young lady of powerful lungs, and fingers to match, as she exercised both ot the piano. “I should think ygu were,” growled an old baclialor, “judging froth .the squall you arc raising.” ‘ ’ ‘ p : .. What a beautiful .virtue is benevolence ! It is a precious tie existing between man and man, as children of one common father—a tie wholly unaffected by difference of age, station, kindred, or country, and over which the artificial distinctions of a rain world I have little power.
