dulgenee; and the more customary it is,
the more resolutely should you break
off from every degree of evil custom.
Blindness comes oftenest to those per

we can do them. Il

Telephone.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
From a local in the GAZETTE, of last
week, in reference to the Telephone
fever" in Russellville, we infer that
Morristown is without this crowning
triumph of modern science. Feeling a
deep selicitude for the welfare of our
sister, lively interest in her progress
and prosperity, and an earnest desire
that she drop her fogyism, get out
of the ruts, and keep pace with the
spirit of this enlightened age, we have
concluded to come to the rescue. We
send you to-day the materials for making
a telephone" two cast away fruit cans,
raw hide enough to cover one end of
each, and fifty yards of connecting
twine.'' This is all you need do in the
matter, as the editor of the GAZETTE
knows exactly how the thug is made,
and of course will be willing to do his
part. With a sincere desire for your
success in this matter, we remain, hope
fully yours, RUssELLynLE.
[WhIle we acknowledge thanks for
the interest manifested by our flourish
ing little neighbor for our scientific well
fare, we will say that the 6 tin cans,
twine, &C., have been tested, and while
they will most certainly convey sounds
what the Irishman said to the Indian:
Z" Faith, hear ye, but divil the bit un-
derstand p'1

MINERAL HILL SPRINGS.
Sulphurs, EPSON, Alum, ChaIy.
baafa and BLACK Water.


THESE SPRINGS, so well and favorahly
known, are situated in the Beans Station
Valley, very near the foot OF. Clinch
Mountain, nine miles from Morristown,
Tennessee.
The climate of East Tennessee is too
well known to require any recemmen-
dation. And this wonderful cOmbina-
tion of Mineral waters are, perhaps, the
most pleasantly situated of any of the
justly celebrated Mineral Springs of this
mountainous section ef
They are peculiarly and delightfully."-
located in beautiful vale, leading from
the main Beams Station valley to the
Gap of the -Clinch mountain. The won
dertul arrangement of the wales, hills
and mountains, causes a cool, refreshing
breeze very much resembling the sea
breeze, always going South in the fore
noon and North in the afternoon. Max
ing this decidedly the coolest spot to be
found ia East Tennessee. s
The scenery Immediately surrounding
the Springs is of the grandest and most
charming character. Col. j. B. KilIe-
brew, in his Resources of Tennessee,
says on page 494: 'eThe Beams Station
valley proper is one of the most beauti-
full spots in the world-so pronounced
by the visitor and traveller without ex-
ception. From whatever direction ap-
preached the fact is at once recognized
and conceded. Seen from the passage
of the lofty Clinch, with the distant
elevations of four States on the horizon,
the myriad intervening hills appearing
like broken waves of q vast ocean in
tempestuous agitation. 1t lies bel0w
wrapped in all those charms of land
scape loVeliness which are so pleasing
and soothing to sensibility-a scene of
peace, home of rest and health" Par
ticular attention is invited to page 494
of this justly celebrated work. s
There are besides the eight mineral
waters, the analysis of which, with 9TH
er particulars, will be sent upon appli-
cation, in the immediate neighborhoOd
large number of mineral springs of
every known variety-Sulphur, Chaly-
beate, EPSON, &C., &c. of the very fin
est quaity-among them Tate's EPSON,
Hanks Chalybeate, and the wonderful
Clinchdale collection, all of superior
quality. There are in close proximity
three well furnished Hotels, all of which
no doubt will be kept in good style this
season, so that persons visiting either
will have choice after coming into the
valley.

49, BY W. W, LANGHORNE.
Thy age doth give Thee reverence
Back mid mouldering monuments of the buried
years.
Before historic Thebes had felt the shock of
Before the Pyramids of Egypt's Kings were made;
Before Old Baalbec's mighty towers raised
Before the Patriarchs moved their herds apart,
Thy temples in the glittering sunlight stood,
And nations poured their treasures in thy marts.
Time-remorseless Time-hAth kept -r
No chronicle of thy birth.
Old, thou vast, when tabled Troy was sacked
Hoary with age when Athens rose
In pomp and splendor, mistress of the ancient
seas. =.
The aEenging Greek hath left no trace of Troy
Famed Athens lives alone in song
And Baalbecs temples lie in dust and ruin.
But thou, Damascus, art the to-day
AS when Naamanis chariots thundered through
Thy streets-Amid thy perfumed gardens
Pharpar and Abana fow-Thy fountains still
Are sparkling meath the "syrian stars
Thy temples stand, if some secret power
Makes Time afraid to touch Thee,
o, wondrous City of tie Past!
