Sulphur and Chalybeate Springs,

NNHESE Springs are Is miles north OF Nor
canton H. Carolina, located in a beautiful
NE ORslaf&iM Cove, and surrounded with
MAGNIFICENT SCENERY. From this point the cell
ebrsted TABLE Rock, the LINNvILLE FALLS,
the CAVE, and other curtosities, are OF easy ac-
cess and make to and fro, an easy ana pleasant
davis recreation, and change OF scenery, caicu-
lated not only to crafty but invigorate the inVa-
lid. as well as those who seek pleasure among the
mountains, during the season of oppressive heat
brile regions.
The superiority of these Waters has been SUI
ficiently tried to prove their efficacy, and many
broken-down, and almost wasted inyalios' nave
been fully restored to health by their use.
The waters have been analysed by DIR. Hap
poldt, of Morganton, and other Physicians. who
are ready to bear testimony to their efficacy In
certain disorders. Those wishing to visit these
Springs, by calling on DR.. Happoldt, at the
" Mountain Hotel, will obtain all the lntorma-
ton desired, as regards their curative effects and
application to certain forms of disease.
The Proprietor, in order that the Patrons OF his
Springs may have their stay rendered desirable
and comfortable, has secured the services OF Mrs
PRESNELL, lady who has had considerable
experience and enjoys high reputation IN public
house keeping. He therefore promises that his
TABLE shall be furnished with the best the coun-
try affords, and served up in manner to please
the most fastidious. Nothing shall be wanting to
make every department adequate to the aossheS
and ,cdnts of those who honor him with their
company. ,,e,,,,,o

skilfnl apiarian. The gentleman above al
luded to is probably as experienced guide
as we have, and he has published work in
which all the facts respecting the subject
desirable to be known are published. He
has invented the patent movable comb bee
hive, which removes the main difficulties
attending the bee keeper. gives him the
control over the combs, and enables him to
take them out at pleasure, without injuring
or killing the bee, and the comb may be re-
turned to the bee to be reflled. By this
invention the management of the bee il SO
simplifed, that hives may be placed in gem
tlemen's houses or even bed rooms, and
we hear of one gentleman in ths city who
has them in the latter proximity. 1t is no
doubt a qualification to be able to cultivate
the friendship of this rambler among the
blossoms, and be on terms of familiarity
with it, though our instructive dread wonld
make US decline such association. Those
who have no such fears, and who have the
faculty of eliciting by their gentleness and
kindness the goodwill of every animated
creature, might find it both pleasurable
and profitable recreation. equally as ex,
citable as politics, and not SO damaging To
the temper and the character. If it but dl-
verted his mind from the harrassing pur-
suits of life into channels where nature al
ways breathes fresh and pure, it would be
a healthy inspiration, refrigeration of
the mental power, and rejuveGating of the
life of the individual that would lend it some
of the charms of youth to accompany it,
are to the grave.

rHE ELoPEMENT.

They locked me in an upper room'
And took away the key,
Because / wouldn't marry one
Who never suited me.
Tbey did not know the female heart,
Or they had clearly seen
That locks were never made to keep,
4 girl of seventeen.
They had gilded cage in view,
And thought the bid secure
Surrounded by the guards of power
And every artful lure.
They never thought of eounterpiots
In any one like me,
And little knew what would do,
For love and liberty
They wanted me to ''marry rich,'
Unmiudful of the means
To couple me with wealth and age
While was in my ''teens."
But being otherwise engaged,
No coaxing could prevail,
For preferred to please myself,
And wouldn't be ''for sale"
The night was dark, the window raised
How could answer no!
When that might be my On,y chance
And Charley teas'd me 50,
A Railroad station being near,
4 carriage waiting by
And such an opportunity
What could do but fly !
Not being fond of solitude,
1t had for me no charms,
While / could knot a silkrn cord
To reach lovers arms.
"Resolyed. therefore, | would not stay
To be imposed upon;
So, while they thought they had me-
