a re facts not to be overlooked by the travelling
world. But it is in the Mineral qualities of the
Springs that the great attraction towards this spot
rf consists. The Proprietor has no exaggerated lists
of cares to present to the public, f>r ho has just
taken possession, nor would h a -i t compliment
either to the good taste or . > .ty of the
public, to present sueli if he hid tluvu. But he
has the assurance of some of tiie most scientific
Physicians and Chemists, to the rare and valuable j
properties ot these Springs. In IS'21, Professor
Olinsted (now of Yule College] made a strict analysis
of this water, and pronounces its foreign
ingredients to be
<Sulphu re Ited IIydrogcti,
Sulphate of /time,
Sulphate of Magnesia,
Muriate of Lime.
For a more extended siatoment see his geological
ltoportol North Carolina, authorized by act of
Assembly, pages 1 30. Space will not permit
us to add llie very flattering remarks of this gen- |
tlcinan?but any one at all acquainted with the
subject cannot help pctcciving tlie peculiar adapta-j
tion of these minerals, to the disorders that most,
prevail in the South.
The Proprietor can onlv superadd his detcrmi
nation to meet patronage, by an unflinching attention
to the wants, wishes and comforts ot his visiters.
The Springs arc now, and will he throughout
the year, open for the accommodation of travellers.

'j Uli! ugh!" coughed I, as I buttoned
,1my soriout closer about tue, and drew
down n y chip into its ample fur collar;
%* (lo'l pity those who have no shelter for
their heads to-nigld!"
j "Gin! pity tli ni indeed!" answered a
voire eh.se t my ear; ' for small is the
'j pity shown to the houseless man."
I i turned my bead. A mise rable, half|
elad, shivering wretch stood to my side.
His bat was slouched partly over his ryes
but not sullied inly to bide a fact* on which'
| the lutes ol loathsome intemperance and
; debaueheiv were dietxnrtly visible. His
fragment of a coat was butt.-ro d as closely
' around liitit as its scattered buttons would
' admit, but not closely enough to conceal
the v? am of a vest and shirt bf ncath. Sad
n nts in bis m titer garments told too plainly
that their days bad not been few noi
< xenipt from evil; ami bis feel were scarcely
protected Iron, die frozen ground by a
pair of tattered shoes. Such a picture of
extreme loathsomeness and misery 1 had
j never seen: and half involuntary 1 thurst
'my hand into my pocket with the intention
of contributing a few pence of his inlinedittie
relief. " Hut he is intemperate,"
said I to myself; and the small cliangc
which 1 had grasped was dropped, "lie
r. .,y pensh with cold?" whispered my better
nature; and iny lingers again clutched
the coin. " lie will spend it for grog,'*
nterposid my worldly prudence?and I

1 It was a hitter cold evening in the middle
of December. The mercury in the
" thermometer stood at zero, and the whit?
frost was glittering in lite blear star light,
'?| like *>s crystals, whose minuteness
'n j impaired not tin tr Wonlw.ful bsillancy.
n There was no breath ot wind abn?dL,but
the whole atmostpherc was filled with in- "
finite sitnal paiticlesol ice, which pierced
j the skin with their sharp points, like the
v invisible spcurs of a troop of fairies* Ariv

para ihertialiu w hieli an old bachelor deems

-1 uiv veins, and my whole man becoming a
pillar of ice in lie potent presence of
y |*4 OmI King Frost." Business of an imr
' perutive nature had ralletl me, late in the
- afternoon, into the suburbs of the city?
11 j ami now, my task accomplished, picturing
. to myself the glowing grate and hot toast
\\ which awaited my return, 1 was making
c all convenient haste lor home, when my
reverie w as interrupted by a fit of cought]
