branch, midway between Bunker Hill
and Bee Spring, haunted by beauty
and Rugged by hills. IT'S comely
cottages make a display that fasci-
mates the eye, conveying an i'm
preston of pleasant surprise. Its
homes are abodes of ease and ele-
gance, grace and grandeur, comfort
and culture, love and loveliness,
hopes and happiness. responsibility
and refinement. Here spring and
summer sweetly, softly, gently
glide into each other, going hand in
hand, spreading their fairest and
fullest foliage, and shedding their
rarest, sweetest, freshest fragrance,
giving to existence pleasing sensi-
bility of felicltous enjoyment. Here
the first smiles of morn and the
last blush of eve love to linger,
gliding the SUBMITS of the hills and
the plains of the valleys with gold
en- radiance, making the adjacent
landscapes lovely scenes of enchant
ment. Standing on a circular
mound in the midst of the valley,
you behold on either hand the
graceful declivity of the hills and
the pleasing undulations of the val
leys crowned with lofty, wide
spreading trees in their freshest
and fullest verdure, whose foliage
forms a shade the rays of the sun
are not able to penetrate, making a
retreat where love can WOO a win
some maid. Crystal streams, like
threads of silver, traverse the valley,
caroling on their way to the bright
blue sea, through meadows of fra
grant buds and blossoms, enameled
with the tairest and freshest flow
ers, and diversified with lovely
bowers, the home of sweet birds in
whose song there is no sadness. Here
and there are cool, shady groves
and clusters of trees, so happily ar
ranged that it seems the work of a
magician rather than the order of
nature. All around, about, above,
below every object is so beautifully
disposed that it has the sweetest.
fairest and freshest aspect and gives
the happiest impression of satisfac-
ton and delight. Here loneliness
nestles in the lap of beauty and
sublimity on the brow of grandeur,
making the circumjacent scenery
and surrounding landscapes like a
celestial park or paradise seen in a
dream of enchantment.
Here fowery fields and sunny skies,
Their pure delights disclose;
They charm the heart, delight the eyes,
And yield a sweet repose;
Here the dimpled streamlet glides
Thro' fiowery vale and meadow,
And golden skies in silver tides
Shine double, skies and shadow.
There, nestled among the mulber-
ries and cedars, is the cozy mansion
of Thomas Davis, Esq, native of
the Emerald Isle, the land of Pats
and potatoes, who, having kissed
the celebrated Barney stone in the
"ould countrie," had, in return, his
tongue tipped with a bit Of the
6rogue, which gives a sweet suavity
to his eloquence, rendering it as
mellifuous as the harmonized
sounds of music and melody. He
is fine old Irish gentleman-One
who never forgets q favor or for
sakes a friend. Mr.. d. is a great
lover of bees and always keeps on
hand fine supply of candied hon
ey, fresher and sweeter than the
nectar that Jupiter sips, me JUDGE.
Here, in the midst of the valley is
the comfortable residence of Mr.. L.
ii. Holt, one of natures noblemen,
once . happy bachelor but now a
blessed benedict, having three rosy
little Jumps of happiness to call him
papa. Mr.. H, is clever, genial and
sociable, possessing a frankness of
manners, evenness of temperament,
and congeniality of disposition,
that bespeak him to be a gentleman
to the manor born. He is gradual
ly changing his fertile lands into a
stock and grain farm, and giving
more of his attention to wool and
less to cotton. Up there on the
hill mid the holms and hollies is the
abode of our village doctor, w. j.
Moflitt, a good physician and eco
nomical farmer, who is blest with
everything that is calculated to
make home paradise and man
happy. That new building on the
brow of the hill in the bosom of that
sequestered little vale, is the home
of our village pedagogue, Prof. NJ
II. NOrthcross, gentleman of fine
education, large experience and OBJ
servation, capable of giving and re-
ceiving great enjoyment, having
that God-given quality, the power
to make and retain friends. We
commend him as a gentleman that
never says a foolish thing and al
ways does a wise one. Farther up
the valley and out of the limits
of our village lives a gentleman
who can knock out the middle man
every time if you will let him
Fudge and 60 first, and still farther
up is another who, the honeymoon
having set, is now enjoying the un-
al-Loyd bliss and calm felicity of
love in n cottage. Near the head
of the valley is a romantic grottO,
that nature seems to have formed
as if in sport and Enthusiastically, dec
GRATED with stalactitic and stalag

this grotto flows a stream as clear
as crystal and as cool as the frigId
waters falling from the iceberg's

A. B. Davis, whom we commend to
the ladies as an eligible gentleman
for matrimony, possessing all the
qualities of the head and heart |
