They could not be seen without being admired,
they could not be known without being epprecia.
Philadelphia Misses M. and b and III. of New
York CITY, All of the above ladies were distin-
gaished for every owerand grace of life, and were
regarded amongst the most elegant, beautiful
aud all accomplished ladies that have frightened
this society by their presence and darkened il by
their departure. Seldom has the writer seen their
attractions equalled-never surpassed, in refine
ment, intelligence, attractvenss, and worth, for
all admired, esteemed and honored them.
If time permitted, ere the mail closed, | would
furnish you with running sketch of the beautiful
iiviig portraits which adorned the drawing rooms
OF these springs-such as Mrs. F., of Fredercks-
burg; Mrs. b of New York city; and Mrs. c., of
Tennessee; and Mrs. NJ, of Washington city; aud
Mrs. W, Of Baltimore; and Mrs. H., of Phadel-
phia-but viii keep them for, another comnuni-
csticn, and will simply sketch one of seventeen
summt s-Mss s.. of Georgetown-and no lady
surpassed her for Intelligence, beauty, loyelinesi,
and accomplishments Her snow white robe Was
an emblem of herself, and all voiced her praises
and earlanded her with flowers. 1t was not her
beauty alone that made her the observed of all OBJ
servers, and won for her the praise and admiration
OF all hose praise and admiration were an honor
Seldom ave ever seen just such person; such
features, such form, such geaileness, such love-
Illness aud attractiyeness, which the brightest
dream of the Grecian sculptor never equalled!
Those dark, melting, bewitching eyes, shining
forth from their ashes like some bright star pour
ing its peaceful light through clear summer night
hat bushing cheek where the first tint of the
morning rests and bushes like the bosom OF gar
den lily; that gracefuiness and peasantness Of cx
preston which were ennobled by all the riches of
intellect, by all the charms of beauty, by all the
manners OF princess, and the Unconscious
pnde Of an elegant woman. No vow ought
ever 10 bind that fair creature to the altar,
unless there was security from above that it would
never he broken-never be forgotten And when
such an event occurs, may nothing but God
Eival tho bridegroom and take from his side
To repose in his bosom, his beautiful bride!

phur Springs this season, were Miss Ida r., OF
Washington city, and Miss Constance, Youngest
daughter Of Judge T., of Warrenton, Va, who
have been general iayorites with every lover of
the graceful and every admirer of the beautifnl
for the beauty and loneliness of their features and
forms were only surpassed by the gentleness OF
their spirits and the Kindness of their hearts.
They would adorn any society by The sweetness
OF their dispositions and the eracefuness of their
persons, and would grace any palace by their VIM
Ding manners and elegant accomplishments for
Their very breath has fragrance, their very look
has goodness, their very step has music and their
very presence has the highest style of elegance
Many would be glad TO place their happiness, their
honor, their fame, ia such fair hands: for they
altogether worthy of such high trusts. There are
objecls which the chisel Of the artist can never
touch VIII oh poetry fails 10 exat-which the most
eloquent tongue in vain would eulogise-whch
ma kes the perfect description utterly at fault
In vain shall our eyes lock for Just such objects
round the earth, In the soul of man alone IRE
shnned these lovely pictures they live in his
thoughts, ana breathe in his affections: and his
heert must cease TO beat ere he forgets them.
May iheir world-raths through life never be
archtd BY dark skies, never be swept by fierce
wines, but strewed with the. tairest flowers,
which shall unconsciously teach them of their
heavenly Fathers watchfulness over them dur
ing lite, ard his loving kindness in death, when
h sends bis angels in bands to carry their
pure spuis 10 their own bright starry land Bat
should dsrk cloud fall from the throne on their
pathways, thus crushing human hopes, and dark
,Ding earthly prospects. God in mercy grant that
thur cloud may be- lined with the siivery light of
heaven. and that from its dark and stormy bosom
may still the unmeasured tenderness and compass
sion OF father. TO soften the sorrows and bright
TN The desclations which his sovereign providence
hes made God he with them on The earth, until
ih,y aIe with him in heaven.
We do not know hsy much we love
Until We come to leave;
An aged tree, common flower.
Ar. things o.r which We grieve.
Ihere is n pleasure in the pain,
That briggs US back the past again.
We linger while we turn away,
We cling while depart
Ard memories, upmasksd till then,
Come crowdipg round the heart
Let what viii turn onward way,
farewtlls bitter word to say.
