the undersigned during the present summer, who
will every effort in his power to render it one
of the most attractive and agreeable watering
places in Virginia. II is situated on an elevation

of magnesia, grain muriate OF soda, 3 10 grains
sulphate of iron, and ITO grains of car Donate of

From the above analyst the waters OF Shannon

line Chalybeates-a combination of the most valu
able description in the whole range of mineral
waters. ii may therefore be positively asserted
without exaggeration or fear of contradiction, that
no mineral water within the limits of the United
States possesses the same constituent parts or ia
more salutary and efficient purgative, than the
water of Shannondale Springs This water acts
as gently as the mildest aperient, without giving

A great frequenter of the church,

That turns and turns to indicate
From what point blows the weather;
Look up, your brains begin to swim,

He chooses it the rather.
Fond of the speculative height,
Thither he wings his airy flight,
And thence securely
The hustle and the raree-show
That occupy mankind below,
Secure and at his ease.
You Think no doubt, he sits and muses.

If he should chance to fall;
No; not single thought like that
Employs his philosophic pate,
Or troubles it at all
He sees that this vast roundabout

Are no concern at all of his,
