mf IV yottKiY, Song of Saratoga. BY JOHN Q. SAXK. ** Fray, what do they do at the Springs ?" The question is easy to ask; But to answer it fully, my dear, Were rattier a serious task. Aud yet, in a bantering way. A3 mo magpie or inocmng uiru Mings, I'll venture ft bit of a song To tell wliftt they do at the Spring.*! Imf rimie, my darling: they drink The wateiB ho sparkling and clear; Though the flavor is none of tho best, An odor exceedingly queer ; But the fluid is mingled, you know, With wholesome medicinal things. And they drink, and they drink, nnd they drink? And that's what they do at tho Springs! Then with appetites keen as a knife. They hasten to breakfast or dine; (Tho lattor precisely at three ; Tho former from seven to nine.) Yo gods!?what a rustle and rush When tho eloquent dinnor bells ring J Tlinn "n>v oat, and they cat, and they eat ? Aud thct's what they do at the Springs ! Now they stroll in the beautiful walks, Or loll in tho shade of tho trees ; Where many a whisper is heard That n>evor is told by the breeze : Aud hands arc commingled with hands, llegardless of conjugal rings ; And they flirt, and they flirt, and they flirt? And that's what they do ftt tho Springs ! The drawing-rooms now aro abla/.o. And music U shrieking away ; Terpsichore governs the hour, And Fashion was never so gay ! An arm 'round n tapering waist? How closely and fondly it clings; So thoy waltz, and they waltz, and they wait*? And that's what they do at tho Springs! In short?as it goes in the world? Thoy oat, and they drink, and they sleep ; They talk, nnd they walk, and they woo; Thoy sigh, and they laugh, and they weep; They read and they ride, and they dance ; (With other unspeakable things :) They pray, and they play, and they pay? And that's what they do at the Springs! WAranrinrv Pendleton Farmers' Society. LIST OF PREMIUMS FOll 1SG0. FARM PRODUCTS. 1.

It is the deliberate opinion of the Registrar, that with the exception of the prevailing 44 Break Bone Fever," and a few cases of malarial and other fevers, not uncommon to ! our climate nt the present season of the year, I the general health of Charleston was never j better during any previous summer than at the present time: and with devout thanksgivings to Him who has so graciously preserved us through the months now past, we may confidently hope for a continuance of like signal blessings during the remainder of tlic year.

The preat majority of discs, now under treatment, arc those of"simple Catarrhal, or of the so-called "Break Hone" Fever.

On Wednesday, ho had the snake in a barrel with one head out, for the purpose of exhibiting it.? To give the curious a view of the prisoner, he "stirred him up" with a stick about a foot long, when the snake retaliated by biting hini on the loft hand. Dr. Manly was called, and prescribed whiskey, to bo tiikon internally, and 'bo application of lobelia to the wound. In tho course of an hour, tbo bitten man drank eleven tumbler* of whiskey.

Great confusion ensued; crics of "])oug-j las, Douglas," and " put him out," proceeded l from hundreds of voices. Mr. Mcltae, nothing daunted, said something which, in the confusion, we could not distinctly henr, but it was to this purport: j ' You can nvcnmwnr 1110. nnmm-ifvillir hum i put mo out, but no 0110 man iu the house can do it."

Mr. Moltao again stated his question, in substance at least, as above recorded.

Then the gentleman likes to hold offico better than 1 do.

HKQUlKll. A candid and dispassionate review of the life of that gigantic impersonation of military skill, whoso victorious armies swept, like a fiery torrent, over Kurope in the commence mem or tins century, inevitably leads to the conclusion, that it illustrates one of the most complete and memorable failures, in the pursuit of individual happiness, withi'i the range of recorded experience. From the siege of Toulon to the fatal field of Waterloo, with different shades of modification ami decrees of development, tho main principle ot' his conduct was the scllish promotion of his own aggrandizement. 1'owor, for its absolute *uhju. gation of tho will of others?for its wide possessions and martial pomp and glittering insignia?this was the constant and debasing object of his pursuit. Nov was he content with even the larger prizes of such a career. His inordinate and reckless ambition, stimulated by the visions of his towering and comprehensive genius, strotched beyond the limits of the rule lie had reared over France, to the achievement of a world-wide domination?a colossal despotism, under the shade of whose vast and Upas-liko foliage, the nations would have shrunk into abject, slaves of his authority and pissive instruments of his caprice. And this wild, terrific drenin of a nature infatuated by the lust of its overmastering passion, he seriously and methodically attempted to real-' i/.e. It was this ho smi^ht, wlien returning from Italy to Paris, in one long triumphal procession, after having erected States and eruaieu consuuiuons?wini liic laurels ot IjOdi, Milan, nnd Mantua, Anconn, Loroto, and Tolcntino. Trieste, Venice, and Genoa fresh upon his brow, and seeing, already, in prospect, the crown of France, and of these, its conquered dependencies, within his grasp, in satiate and insatiable still, he planned that fabulous scheme of Oriental sway, of which the colonization of Egypt, the control of the Mediterranean, and the questioning of British occupation in India, were the trifling incidents and in the actual prosecution of which, he, shortly afterward, crossed the desert and navigated the N ile, ane shook their pyramids with the thunder of his arms. It was this he sought when, rushing impetuously up the great St. Bernard, he fell, like a thunderbolt, from it,s peaks on the Austrian* at Marengo. It was this he sought when, rewarded by his countrymen with the distinction of first consul, he intrigued to have this honor extended to the full period of his life, and, yet unsatisfied, made that very couccssion the immediate stepping-stone, through n cringing senate, to the establishment of a permanent dynast}'. It was (liis he sought when, having attained the kingly oflico, and founded new orders of nobility, with forms of courtly etiquette, and all the empty shows of regal supremacy, he metamorphosed republican Italy?Italy made so by his previous interposition?into kingdoms and principalities, to be parcelled out amoiii? his nearest, rebitivrot and t'nvm-iM rents, and hold in feudal .subordination to his crown. It was this he sought when, with half a million of men gathered on the frontiers of Poland, he marched, through storm and flood and famine, over the snows of Russia, to see her capital consumed in the very monie.it of his exultant entry into it.-j palaces, and commence that disastrous retreat, whose horrors arc unparalleled in the annals of hostile discomfiture. Borodino, liivoli, Austcrlitz, Wagram !?what are . they all but the bloody charnel-chambers through which his phrensied appetite for personal glory folic wed the grim and treacherous spectre of univerAd dominion? Look at him now, at the height of his fancied power!?the wind full in the sails of his vaulting ambition ; a crown of crowns upon his head, a sceptre of sceptres in his hand; canopied under trophies from almost everv clime?with kintra for Id* v:i?s:ile nnrl the earth for his foot# ton I ! False vision !? inspired of jailing fiends, " that, keep the word of promise to our ear, to hreak it to our hope "?look at him yonder ! A poor, wretched, disappointed man?stripped of title, power, country, wife, child, everything !?mocking himself in the solitude of confinement with nn infantile simulation of his former state; his fleeting splendor vanished like a poapblown-bubble?a stupendous wreck, hopelessly cast out on a barren rock of the. seas. Without pride enough to p?rcHiro; without grace enough to repent j'Avasting his few last days in idle roj>?'t1fJgs, and finally passing, with lev(;rj<iv-areains ot carnage, from the earth he 4i*d devastated to tho deity lie had blasphemed, in the midst of a howling tempest. Such arc tho fatal issues of the abuso of power. Let us now turn to an wjually prom| inont, and almost simultaneous instance, of its jud'oious employment for tho ends of right. Our own chronicles supply tho theme in their initial page. I speak of him, whom modern civilisation hails hh the purest spirit that ever drew a nation's sword to vindicate a nation's honor; whoso fame is as clear and lustrous aa the dawning sun in the heavens; and to whom a grateful country, moved not by the prurient vanity of martial exploits, but by tho deepest homage the heart impulsively renders to ill us trious worth, has given, for the first time in the hixtory of mankind, the single titlo ol Father, it is reported of Bonaparte, thai when on the cvo of departure for Hgypt, beinjj nssurcd, in reply to his inquiries, ny tome American youths, in whose society he chanced to be, that Washington wag w^'li, liogrejoined, M Ah, gentlemen ! Washington can never be otherwise than well. The measure of Ins fame is full. Posterity will talk of him, with reverence, as the founder of a great empire, when my name shall be lost in the vortex of revolu tions." A greater and n moro solemn truth was never sooken.

It matten not at what staffc of his familiar life wo regard him, tho same lesson, in its genu o> .l.uiu.iiv is aWaya practically taught and vindicated ir tho teaahmg. Whether ns an inpoaent and III ?m i > 11 immm?^?II iii^ijiiin artless child, whoso mind infttiuctively recoiled from tho uttcranoe of falsehood?an officer charged with important military couccrtis by his nativo colony?a oomuinnaor-in-chicf of his aroused countrymen, in the war of tho revolution, himself disbanding his troops, and mmuieiy accounting lor nis supplies wncn the conflict was over?;i Chiof Magistrate of the Union, which sprung from his horoic dovotion, in the assertion of their rights, hy tho last argument which appeals to kings?in all these, the fact is umlcviatingly disclosed, that tho use of his function was over uppermost in his thoughts, and its personal dignity least.? For his genius, let the long "line of victories, which commonced with the lirst fatal collision at Lexington, and ended in tho surrender ut Yorktown, and his inauguration of the cxccu tivo olnee, under circumstances ot tlic gravest and most perplexing complication, speak, its they imvo spoken, and will continue to speak forever. It is not his genius which concerns us now ; -hut the exalted?the august?the transcendent purity of motive, which guided its inspiration and crowned its schemes Nor did it go unrewarded. The prime element, in what now seems to have \ cen ov 'ained, as the model character of a new and powerful people ?the pioneers of a fresh and vigorous civilization, it was distinguished with a measure of worldly glory, which it has never entered the brain of a contriving placeman to conceive.? It was ordained, not only that lie should be | " first in peace, and first in war, and first in the hearts of his countrymen," but that his name should, throughout the habitable glebe, wherever man is raised above the level of the brute, become the shining synonyms of Patriotism and Liberty. That pilgrims from every clime, to which the broad sun turns its universal fires, should gather around his grave as a holy shrine, and. challenging our exclusive ...IIU.I V,l ll.-l IIIHIU, VHtllH II, 111 iiiu name of all nations and of nl) times, as (lie glorious heritage of a coininon humanity !? Nor did tho blessings of an approving Providence stop here; but, in that solemn hour, when earthly distinctions shrink into nothingness, and the pomp and vanity of human power vanish from the view?when the life that hns been led is tested by contact with tho nonlines of a world, which mysteriously opens to receive us, for weal or for woe, ministering angels were at his side, to light his pallid features with a boatilio smile, and to prompt those immortal words, the simplest and vet the most momentous ho ever breathed, " I am dying, but, thank God, I am not afraid to die." Language can add nothing to the persuasive force of such an example. In adducing it, I tool I have exhausted my subject; and that the seeker after tho true aims of life, will find them all in that constant translation of interior {jooducss and tenth into his deeds, whatever they may be, which makes the paths of cxintence luminous with love, and takes the stinjr from death. ]>e IIai'I'Y as you Auk.?Wife and mother, are you tired and out of patience with your husband's and your children's demands upon your time and attention? Arc you fu Qt.iVib nnf uinrrtr - I ">>? ""fl'J ^ -V....H0 1'/ Kl.ll. faithful but perlrips*, some timo heedless or oxacting husband of yours? or to scold and fret at those sweet ami beautiful ones? Do you groan and say, ' Wli.it a fool I was to marry, and lo;tvo my father's lit i-o, where I lived at ea+J an 1 in p v.ice ?" Arj you, by reason of the care and wearrincss of body whioh wifehood and motherhood must bring, forgetful of, and ungrateful fur, their comforts and their joys ? Oh! wife and mother, what if a stroke should smite your husband and lay him low? What if your children should be snatched from your arms and from your bosom ? What if there were no soft, little j innocents to nestle in your arms, and to love you or rocoive your lover How would it be with you then ? He patient and kind, dear wife ; be unwearying and long-suffering, dcai mother; for you know not how long you may have with you your best and dearest treasures ?you know not how long you may tarry with them. Lot there bo nothing for you to remember but sweetness and love unutterable, if you are culled to le.ive thcin by the ways.? l?e patient, bo pitiful, be tender nil, for death will stop sooner or later between them and you. And oh ! what would you do if you should be doomed to sit solitary and forsaken through years and years ? Be happy as you are, even with all your trials; for, believe it thou wife of a loving and true husband, there is no lot in life so blessed as thine own. [ Georgutua II rberl.
