A voice from Tyree.

TYREE STRINGS, July q, 1858.
MEssRs EDIToRs: You good people OF Nash
willie have certaioly forgotten that there Is
eich a cool. delightful spot as dear old Tyree
Springs While you are battling with the
mu-quetocs, saturating handkerchief after
handkerchief with the prOfuse perspiration
that debilitates the whole system, we are
ENJOYING the luxury of unbroken rest, be-
meath good blanket, lulltd to sleep by the
ruStIing of the leaves, and only awakened by
the fulI-toned bell telling US that another day
il before as Why. my friends, if from no
other cause. we Nashville people should love
this spot for the sale of olden times How
few of us, but can recall to mind some sweet
memories connected with this PLACED Who OF
us but can look into the secret chambers OF
his or her heart and remember some loved one
who caused our souls to thrill with JOY be
meath the very shade Of these old trees! All
the trees are very silent now to the passer by;
but each leaf whispers Of some by-gone hours
to those who, years ago, fingered beneath
them. AS children, how have we loved the
old galleries, in spite Of the remOnstrances of
the older folks, urging us to stay our truant
feet and spare their nerves. As lovers, how have
we wandered from place to place, seeking
some quiet spot where we could unburden
our hearts of their doubts and fears! As
mothers, how have we sat and gaZcd with
pride upon the fair daughters. cherished but
to b. resigned to anOlher's care, ere the bud
had fully blown! As invalid, how have We
loved old Tyree, with her streams of pure
water, giving new life to the system almost
wasted and gone.
Then, with all these memories, why allow
new love to cause such forgetfulness of the
old? Beersheba and Lookout have their adj
vantages, which are doubtless many; but We
contend that for the citizens of Nashville none
have the same claim to their patronage as
Tyree. Accessible TO business, the very best
air and water, excellent accommodations in
every way, attentive servants and an album
dance OF them, a most amiable hostess, Of
whom we cannot say too much, a host whose
chief pleasure seems the enjoyment of his
guests; what more could We desire in a
watering place? But to the pith of the mat
ter. If the appetite Of the cricure cannot
be satisfied at the table Mr.. MosHER provides
We promise TO recall all we have said, and
confess that we know nothing Of the good
things of life. But independent of the dainties
we have the very best bread, butter and
milk imaginable, which are at last tue cream
of good living. Without them, no table is
palltable; and with them, no table can be
Incomplete.
As to the company, modesty forbids us 10
say too much; but if it is limited in quantity,
the quality is "of the first brand" But We
want good number, that our host and hos
tess may know thatwe appreciate their efforts
to please. So send them up, Messrs Editors:
all ye hungry, thirsty souls. come and share
with us the balmy air Of Tyree! Jordan
and his band" are in waiting for you. The
moonlighs are soft enough for lovers souls;
and some we know are waiting but the pre-
sence of '.their liege lords" to make them
supremely happy. SO come one, come all
