Home. immediately afterwards q self
\ 1constituted committee of gentlemen
) waited OH Mr.. Gadsden, the ef1icien
book-keeper and superintendent Of th'
hotel to know if he would ordc
the music stopped. He said mot" ant
the music was required to go on as usual
and the guests conceded that Mr.. G.
i might have either the hall or the parlol
and we would take the other room
i When everything was ready and tht
musicians had drawn the entire audi
ence he requested to have the dance
! stopped for twenty minutes. Tho
young people refused to accedc to tho
request, and at the word con with the
dance" the music struck up, and ''part.
] ners were hOnOrcd" in the most grace
full manner while the lecturer remained
a ''looker-on in Vienna" A more In,
dicrous thought than that Of mixing
dancing and preaching cannot well be
conceived. The next day the guests
made up purse of SO and presented
to Mr. Caughman as evidence of thcil
! appreciation of the cause OF which he is
so jealous an advocate.
tGLENN SPRINGS AND C.FsAR'S HEAD.
| At Glenn Springs there is ample ac-
recommendations for about one hundred
and fifty or two hundred persons.
There being nova about one hundred and
thirty guests enjoying the society and
good water Of this place. There is
room for more company here than at
C;rSar's Head, but the scenery is not so
grand. The waters of this place arc
considered very excellent and is the
chief induccmcnt to visitors, while ut
C;esar's Head the pure mountain air
and the sublime scenery are the prin.
cipal attractions. So if our friends arc
afflicted with dyspepsia, or other dis
eases for which these waters are q spc-
cifc, we would advise them to come
here, while we would advise those sick
of malarial diseases, or those who may
desire to see some OF natures grand see
merry, to 20 to Cpsar's Head, where the
mind of the beholhcr cannot help being
raised 10 Il higher plane, and made pu-
rer in the contemplation of the power
and majesty of Him who "ovcrturneth
mountains in his anger" and who may
"shake the earth out of her founda-
tions and cause the pillars thereof to
tremble," but who in His love for sinful
man has prepared for him Il place in
that city whose streets are Of gold and
whose gates are Of pearls.
WE SPEND OUR TIME
in many ways: In reading, writing,
dancing, playing cards, rolling ten pins,
promcnadng, listening to good music,
courting, &c, &C., and each man or wo'
man elects for himself or herself the
manner in which the time shall be
spent. At five o'clock of every day the
band take their position in the lawn in
front of the hotel and discourse good
music until twilight. After tea nearly
all the guests assemble either in the
parlor or in tho dance hall where tho
music is resumed and kept up until ten
O'Clock or later. While the older ladies
and gentlemen look on, the greater ma
jority of young people participate in the
dance. The large company anu the
different amusemcnts afford continued
enjoyment or recreation in one way or
another and one forgcts the cravings OF
persistent creditors and is even inclined
to give impecunious debtors further
respite. But all this enjoyment OF
amusement is as the syllabub to the re,
alities of life We would soon tire and
could not live upou it, but then we seek
it as 4 sweet prelude or preface to the
realization of happier existence.
Would any Of these pleasures compare
with the bachelors day-dream OF iu-
ture to be enjoyed with and shared hy
that sweet spirit whom he hopes to in
ducc to hear his prayer and to wear tol
him the orange bloom? Would the
love aud confidence Of q genial spirit or
the affection and devotion of a loving
companion be compared with all these
The one is real and earnest, while the
other is is tickle and transitory rs the
very clouds of u summers day. But
then we speak and expatiate on the
pleasures TO BIZ had here, and pass 10y
the much greater pleasures that may ,be
realized and enjoyed even in the hum
! blcst cottage in the land.
