This celebrated Watering Place, formerly called

for visitors on Wednesday, the 1st day of June.
Rcing situated in the Northwestern part of the.
Stjttc. in a section remarkable for its delightful
clliiLitC, bttrttity and healthiness, these, together with
the virtu-. of waters, make it "one of the most de
bit-able Watering Places to be fouud.
Tiie Mineral Waters of these Springs are, the
White and lilue Sulphur, jutid Chalyebeate or Iron,
and tht-y possess ail the finest Qualities of these

From the numerous wonderful ; cures that have
come immediately iiiier my own .observation within
the lust four years (by the use of these waters) 1 am
satiiied that this is the place for all whose condition
can be iwprove.1 by the salubrious character of any
water that lions' from the earth, and the medicinal
qu.tlitit-s of the t-ame are not. excelled.
Our1 rooins, in both cottages aud other buildings,
are larffo aud pleasant; collates i containing from
two to six rooms each, suitable for large or small
families.- Many rooms having been already applied
for, arrangements will be rnade-fo -accommodate a
large cumber of visitors, and it is" to be Loped that
our Southern people will patronise the Sparkling
Catawba, which ought to be the pride of North Caro

As "Butler was going! on, to speak without
noticing the interruption, llandall renewed ihe
question with' greater vehemence and in afar

Butler seemed a little embarrassed, but after
a pause repeated, In the neutrality laws." ;
'i hat s no answer, cried llandall. "I want
the i gentleman to name the time and place,
Give us some instance."
Butler declined to yield further and the
Speaker ordered Kandall to take his seat. That
gentleman had scarcely finished muttering some-
thinj: about ''You can't doit " when Butler said,
"Fools as well as sonje gentlemen on the other
side of the House can often ask Questions which
even wise men couldn't answer." This aroused
llaudall, who cried out so that he could be heard
above the rapping of the Speaker's gavel,' "Some
of us on this side of the house are honest, and
that's more than can be said of you, and vbu
know it. - i - i . ' .: ' "f ' i f
Thi3 created an uproar of laughter and ap
plause, which for a time drowned Butler's voice
and the hammering of the Speaker's gavel upon
his' desk. Having made a hit llandall seemed
satisfied, and allowed Butler to iro on without
further interruption.

is appropriately styled WO.UAA S UKSX .FUiEaw.

Imprisomseat for Debt in South Carolina.
; The Greenville Enterprise, in an article touch
ingupon jthej condition jof affairs in that State,
thus unfolds one of the mysteries of the new.
vode, now pejrplcxing lawyers, clients, and erec)
judges r , ; --; ;:? v:j -r
, "It was! a matter of rejoicing 1 that .imprison
ment for debii was aboli&lred by the new Consti
tution.but the Code restores it in an aggravated
Jway after judgment is obtained. No poor man
with a iaifiily can live who has the tfiislortune td
have judgment go against him for debt ; he may
oe arrested lor contempt ot court ana ,aept l
lail his life time if his health holds out, un.ei
he satisfied his creditors ty citing up every cen
of his money and provisions for his! family, and
every little sum owing to him upon '.which his'
familv otherwise subsist and this too. whether,
he makes a fraudulent use of his means to avoid!
paying hisl debts, ' or honestly appW all he can
spare front a bare sufficiency for actual subsis-
j euce. Ihe new law of ithe State is far worse
than the o3d insolvent laws under which an un
- 1 fortunate debtor miht discharge himself of alii
suciog creditors when arrested, ' by ca'sa, byi
hiaking anj assignment of his property an means!
once for all. 1 iBut now Lawver Corbinhas fixed
it so that a debtor, much involved, never can be1
discharged" from; sueing creditors, but will be!
liable all his life to imprisonment in the iail un-i
less he surrenders, when called on; every five
cents of -hs money, every" debt, great or small,
and every peck of meal aud piece of meat, to his,
creditors.
Early . Breakfast.
A bad custom is prevalent in j manv farfiilies.
v . I . : i
especially Among farmers, of working an hour or
two be fore ( break fast, hoeing in the garden, cut
ting wood, jmoing, etc. ;! This is convenient on
many accounts', but it is not conducive to health.
The prevalent jopinion is that the morning air is
the purest and! most healthful and bracing, but
the contrary is! the tact.;. At no hour of the day
is the air iqrie filled with dampacss. fogs and
miasmas than j about sunrise. Tile heat of the
sun gradually dissipates the miasinatic influences
as the dayjadvances. An!early j mer.l braces up
the system against these external influences.
Every onejkuows the languor and faintness often
experienced for the first hours in tfye morning,
and thU isj increased by exercise and want of
food. -jWe do not agree with 1 the boarding
school regime Which prescribes a long walk be
fore brjeakfastj as a means 'of promoting health.
i Probably the best custom would be to furnish
every member jof the family, especially those who
labor out of doors, with a single "cup of warm
coffee, well
milked, immediately after 'rising from
the bed.

It firstjHakes itself :nown by a sort of a han
ker ijng" and your hea t flutters, like a June bug
for its mate, after wh ch you jcecp on hankering
more and more, and you finally top off with a
little more hankering. When a fellow, gets in
love he " begins to look siekj and feels kind of
loose geoeraJly f he hia a weakness for lavender
kiasl and his beans ddu t agree with him. He
writes barrels of verses, all about 'heavcnlv eves
and gentle si-rht,"; and hi3 beer hath no longer

! I have heard it said that a tnan can love but
once, but this is a niiake. Sortie men are fall
ing in . love continually, and j their life seems
filled witlr swarms of llnpid's-pitfalls, which lure
them on with sweet affection's honeyed shares.
Of This class the ElderMormouTBrigham Young,
is'a shining; exauiplej .Ahl-jhow touching, it
must be to. Mr Young U feel the sweet buds of a
new born affection springing modestly into life,
which budsjlirighani never; allows to go to seed,
but lets 'em sprout in rapid succession. -
Love but! once indeed ! It is true I have out
lived but orie.wife, but I hope; to be called upon
to outlive the present! Mrs.-Skinner, though I
must say that at' present she displays an anatomy
so fearfully robust that, as 1 gaze upon her wal
loping the children.'qr abusing the neighbors
from the back doorstc), iny hopes are crushed,
Stijll, in ase she should die, who! shall say that
roy love for a third wife would not be as pure
and guileless, as; whc,n I;courted my first love.
Tabitha llipley, and tlie sw'eet consciousness of
her money in the batik thrilled through my sen
sitive frame? Let such an one speak now, or ;
forever after put a jawi tackle ?n his peace. '-
The second step on ihe road to matrimony is
courting; Provided Ithe old tolks are willing
(and they generally are,) the lovers get together !
and court with a zeal that is most commendable.
They go on the principle that if a thing is worth
doing at alii it js worta doing jwell, so they rally
round each other seven nights in a week, and
feef bad because there pin't eight. If the fellow
tries to tear himself away about one A. M., the
gill clings convulsively to ! him,; aud next day
writes him ar tear stalled note, paving: "Dear
Claude I shall die if ytlu don't como and see me,
during your dinner Isour, lor 1 know you ard
mad, or you wouldn t' Jiave gone home so early
lastj mght.
But courting: is a pretty slick thing, after all,'
and'there seems to be k constant demand for it
in the market. :Like everything else, though,
it is influenced a grealt deal- by gold, only in
courting you generally; ask ra aud iu'go'd you
ask! more than par. ! I i -l , ,
Courting was in veqtfed a great many years ngo
by: bne A. Dam, who inimediaiely got it patented,
and his children have Boue a payitig, business at
it ever since. It is carried 'on. most successfully
in the other room, andfthe old folks are expected
to retire-early, which they do by Ipoking their
heads into the- room land saying : IIow'd do
John ? Quite a spell of weather, ain't it? IIul
dy, I when you go to be, don't j forget to put the
milk-pail out, and be sure to lock the cat in the
woodsned, lor last mant sue was trampoosin

But courting in the! country and courtifig in
the! city, are two dinerept things. In the coun
try! the girl .'passes' for just what she is,' and
doesn't put onny "FrtiCh airs, and 'the fellow,
though; he may have r(ugli hands and a red face,
is honest; and his elotles, if they don t fit him
like! a fashion-plate, arc generally 1 paid for. In

Well, well, let 'em court, ill's their best hold,
and the longer they kejcp it up the more happi
ness they can look back to. Who would think,
looking at.niy wife as she brandishes the slop
paif around my headf that there was a time
when she coyly; feat upn my knee, smoothed my
hair, and called me "hr own precious Mosey, so

couple becomes. engaged they sptiru all the vani
ties of this world, andj associate with -heads of
families. They don't indulge in anything heavier
than a tewing circleo- possibly i select reading
from a cookery book!" The young lady puts on
a very austere look, an has great compassion for
all her acquaintances who aiti't , got any beau ;
but still she feels that life is earnest, life is real,
and it won't do for hei to show any wknesa.

After all, the principal diflerence between
courtship and matrimony is, that during court-,
ship you ride in a hack, and after marriage you ,
ride in a horse car. A great many get married
'for worse or better, till a divorce dona up;"
but happily there are those who realize it is for '
life, and not a limited copartnership. There is
some true lore left yet, and the man or woman

The Neglect of the Bible.
It is a melancholy fact that now-a-davs the Bl.
ble is but little read. We hear u great deal about
the squabbles in the larger cities in regard to '
the enforcement of its reading 4n the publio
schools j but the zeal for this measure is, .to a
great extent, but u trick of politicians, as far as
we can'sce. - '
If parents would make their children read the
Bible ct home, aud explain it to them, there
would be no necessity for shoving that duty off
upon teachers. The plain truth is that parents
too 1 fietnever opeu the Book of Books. The
conscqucuces of this is that such people feel but
littleeneral interest in a book, of which they
know but little themselves, and never take the -trouble
to -read and to expLiu it to their children.
Accordingly, the e arc but few of tbe young
that can answer the plainest question about even'
the historical portions of the Bible. Yet, asa
general rule, these children are all sent to Sun
day hchool, and there they a re. s opposed to bo .
well drilled, but with what effect la becu if you
try to find out what they know.
There is tomething .radically wrong In the
way in which the young are taught if they are
so little benefitted We think that we are not
far out of the wy when we attribute their ignor
ance of the Bible to the system of question and
answer, by which they receive nearly all their
instruction. Moreover, the parts of the Bible
selected to be questioned on are often not.
those portions which most interest children.'
Tbe Word of God contains many books and
parts of books that should rivet the attention of
children. We refer to the narrative portions of
the Old Testament as well as of the new yet
we fear i that these aro leas read in Funday
nchool than are any others. There is, also, we
fear, too much of mere doctrinal theology at
tempted to be taught. Little of this is compre
hended by too many grown people ; and even if
it is, it is not attractive in itself to the average
mind, and to the little boy or girl i of ten years
of age, or even of fiftueu, too much dwelling
upon obscute points of theology j is sometimes
quite repulsive. - - 1 .
We think that the best nystem of instruction
in Sunday schools shonld be to interest ihe child
iu the historical portions of the Bible, as well
as the others, and while giving proper attention
to doctrinal points, not to make them too engroov
ing a pait of their instruction. 1 Teaching hr
question out of a book is especially objectiooable.
it is wonuenui to see now quicciy a cniia learns
how to j mark off with a pencil the answers
to the questions : these he gets by heart and
forgets the context. .The consequence is thaf '.
be may make a remarkable recitation, and jet
know absolutely nothing about the subject of
his scripture lesson. When snch a boy crows
up. he has but little acquaintance with the Bible.'
and tbe result is that knowing hardly anything
abont it he cares less. Tbe men of the genera
tion that is at present passing off the stage were
not taught by questions and answers; but most
of those who are now the active members of
society were instructed, by this ruethod alone.
and we have often thought that the little bencSt
they received from it, i one of the1 chief , rea
sons why the Bible is in these degenerate times'
so "much neglected. Norfolk JoyrnaL ' 'f'
