The euislne OF The Fauquier Springs sill de-
serves commentator and The active and gentle
manly managers contribute every tlinS III 'heii
,orcr TO the comfort and pleasure Of thcir hu-
merous guests. The situation of the Springs IS
most pic,uresque-the climate genial and saln-
brious The farm attached 10 the establish
ment is in a high state Of cultivation, and
supplies the table abundantly. A branch al
the Rappahannock carries its bold current along
the base Of The hill overlooking the spring,
and divides the counties OF Fauquier and Gull
pepper. We were glad TO hear that The entcrprls-
ing company is zealously engaged in improving
navigation, and that there is no doubt that in two
years, the river will be navigable for several
miles above the Springs, for the transportation Of
passengers and the produce of that fertile section
Of country.
We never saw the Springs under such favor
able circumstances as on TUESDAY evening last
Srolling in the direction Of the picturesque slate
cliffs on The river, we saw Il sunset, which no
even Italy could rival. Beyond The Blue Ridge
dark cloud threw up lis jagged aud gigantic
form. The sun, just sinking out OF view, bur
nished lis edge with the most brilliant colors, ant
the floating clouds above were thrown into long
broad shadows which !aversed the whole sky il
The form OF rays. This, at least, was oar "philo
sophy" Of the sublimesl phenomenon we eve
witnessed In The bosom Of The black clou'
bright flashes of lightning PLAYED necessarily an,
! around and above iloairi smaller clouds oieyer,
1 variety and hue. We know our description 10 b.
! most lame-wc only wish that our readers hat
witnessed a scene which was worthy OF the pencil
| Of the greatest artist, and The sublimly OF which
| impressed us with the vast and wonderful powers
again seen; but those who desire 10 spend few
pleasant weeks freed from the cares and trouble
ofevery day life would do well 10 turn their faces /,
Fauquer next Summer or even the pIesen
month; Tor we left behind US some $50 agreeable
persons and many Of them designed 10 remain
some time longer. What We nave said OF ,hi
| charming establishment is but faint reflection
| OF our impressions.
| But 10 Tie excellent address oi Judge Tucker
| Fair Knights aud Gentlemen. greet you well:
Ihs aSR s cX ha o Is SF fS vo & sa
! The Roses bloom, and from the Diamonds spark
| kindlss their glancrs, has established here

| And tins her chosen haunt. TN you devovrs
| The strife that shall decide what favored fair,
iinnorcd above the rest, shalt wear The Crown
of Love and Beauty on her radiant brow
The battle j. not always 10 the strong,
| Nor 10 the swift the race, O'er all We do
| A power presides, that shapes orr purposes
To lis own ends And so The Goddess wills
| That on the iarest brow the crown shall fall
And with her breath she turns aside the ring
| From the sufepolnted lance, when not directed
| Bv one who wields II on hehilf Of her
| Most worthy.to he-raised above her conreers
| And crowned the Queen OF Beauty and Of Love.
'rs thus tinr 80 shr Wills asr choice IS known;
| And ynl, her instruments, viii 5ui nlii
| Her higher purpose. Then be wise, Sir knights,
| And wisely choose the danes on whose behalf
| You task ynur proves But Ia guide your choice,
| Hear one word more Il j. with uoLr eyes
| The Goddess sees, and judges her most iair,
| Who fairest seems Ia Inn who wieds his lance
On her beialt. Love, i'll the Utmost heart
! Love, tender, stedfast, passionate, refined
| "Sees IIelen's beauty IN a brow of Egypt :"
| And thus the issue OF the jous declares,
Not who Is fairest TO the common eye,
But rather her DER whom the light of love
! Sheds-o her champions oye-the brightest bloom.
| Then boldly strive, strong in the consciousness
OF your own faith and truth and when the crown
ahnaa ana
She will not wear II as an idle gawd
| That blooms an hour and fades. and IL forgotten
| But still IT'S hues and odoIrs in her heart
She will retain, III memory OF Am
| Whose true right hand and truer heart have won IL.
Then forward 10 the lists Bright eyes are on you
| And Loves warm breath shall lend it, rich perfume
To the applause that waits upon your triumph.
