TrREE SPmNGs.-A desire to fly the heat,
dUst and monotomy of town induces many Of
our people, who are unable to leave their busi
ness for any great length of time, to 'close
the books" but for a day, turn their faces
countryward, and regsle themselves with the
scenery, the pure air aud the freshness which
belongs ouly at This season to rural districts.

with Others, lei Us on Saturday last TO Tyree

speak fully of the many features, which, in an
eminent degree, recommend it to public favor,

amusements aud sports for exercise, (of which
there is no lack) or intelligent conversation,
which il las been lruly said, is the great charm
of mankind, the finest solace Of intellectual
labors, and the simplest yet most elIectua and
delightful mode OF at once resting aud invigo-
rating the mind, whether wearied by study or
depressed 10y struggles with fortune. After
