rejoicing.
"But its lights are dead; It's guests are
fed"
ReguaescQt IN pace.
But ON the decline of these lesser
lights bas srisen a star which bQFrs
with a steady light, and has known
no change or waning. 1t Is needless
to say that I mean dear old Crab Or
chard, which, from the time it was
first opened has been a success. One
finds here a greater variety of pure
mineral waters than any place known.
| 1t is not manufactured from rusty
pieces of obstinate cooking stoves, as
Harrodsburg, or stale eggs, as at Blue
Lick, for
You may break, you may shatter the
vase If you will,
But the scent OF the rose will hang round

Whoever wants the best tonic In the
world, let him come to Crab Orchard
and drink of the Brown spring, which
is IS strong as any ehalybeate water
known. If dyspeptic, of the Field
spring, which is soothing to the
nerves and somewhat exhilarating.
If the blood needs purifying, the sui

lame, halt and blind, the Grove spring
has been known to work wonders.
Last, though not least, is the Epson,
which needs no further recommends

beautiful and picturesque? Where a
more perfect shade, cooler and pureF

/ believe they drink of the "FielG
spring." as do the lovely bevy Of girls
c~ongregated here, for their cheeks are
like roses, and pearls and diamonds
drop from their lips, If we may be-
lieye what the young gallants say;
at least Louisville, Memphis and New
Orleans are well represented in fair
danes and lovely maidens. To &C.
eide which is queen rOse Of tn
rosebud garden of girls, would be diff
ficult. One is reminded of the fair,
graceful lily by Miss Massey, of Louis
vile, and Miss Jones, of Barbour; Of
the damask rose, by Miss Lima Jacob;
and Miss Ella Violet, of New Orleans,
is suggestive of a bright cluster of car
nation pinks, for her bright eyes and
spicy conversation enlivens whatever
circle is so fortunate as to possess her.
"N'er did Grecian chisel trace
A faireF form or lovelier face'
than that of Miss Bette Erwin. A
sweet violet is Miss De Negro, of New
Orleans, which, though a modest
flower, yields a rich perfume. A
