Visions of Childhood.


sThe visions of childhood, how vivid, how deal
As they come DER the spirit its dulness to cheer
Like the sound of sweet music their gnshings
restore,
sFo our cup all the joys with which once it rar
Ger
How gladly our spirits assume the thick veil,
Which hides for the moment the mis'ry We
feel;
.Forgot is the present-our dreams are the
hours
We cherished bright fancies in youths fragrant
bowers.
How bright were the colors of garlands We
woye
|; From the flowers of Friendship, of Fame, ant
of Love:
What bright aspirations our young hearts ther
thrilled,
Ere the breath of cold world our bosoms had
chilled.
sThen the sounds of the brook in its undsturb
ed flow,
EAnd the song Of the night-bird now piercing
now low,
And the stars in their bright course as onward
they moved
;Were the music we heard, and the sights which
we loved
The tones of some kind voice which now
greets our ear,
,Soothes gently our hearts as its accents We
hear;
Yet its sound but re-echoes some voice which
again,
We shall ne'er hear to soothe us in sorrow anc

The Artesian Springs.

fEtlIESE Springs situated in Madison county,
4 20 miles North. east of Canton. will be
open for the reception of visitors on the 18th
May next Gen. 7. G. McMackin. well known
10 the travelling and reading public as the best
landlord Of the South, will have the superinten-
dance and management under his entire control.
This is sufficient guarantee for the comfort Of
visitors. We have erected and in the course Of
erection buildings sufficiently spacious to accom-
modale 500 persons in all comfort and also a
number of double cottages which will be rented
70 families by the month or season. There will
also be large Ball Room and Band Of music,
Tenpin Alley and Billiard Tables, for amuse-
ment and exercise, and Bar room well furnish
ed with the choicest creature comforts"
We have made arrangements with Mr.. Led
better, the enterprsing contractor of the Yazoo
City, Lexington and Benton Stage line, who will
promptly convey all passengers from those points
TO the springs:
Passengers BY way Of Canton, will be imme-
diaely conveyed to the Springs by Mr.. Jesse p.
Brown in Coach and Hack, with speed and per-
feet safety.
These Springs are situated on the ridge which
lies between Big Beack and Pearl, in high
rolling country, and on the immediate borders Ct
the pine region. and the proprietors feel fully
justified from their own observation, from the
estimation of that portion of the public 70 whom
the beneficial effects Of their waters are known,
and from the concurrenttestimony Of yintel
hgent gentlemen of the medical profession under
whose recommendation and observation they
have been used, in recommending them, in all
cases in which tonics are indicated, but especial
y in all cases connected with debitated con-
dltlon Of the digestive organs, in diseases OF the
mucus tissues, embracing Dysentary, DiarrhPa.
and especially summer diseases, of children; in
Chronic inflammation of the bladder, in most dis
eases Of the kidneys, especially those attended
with alkaline deposits, in torpor of the liver; as a
local application in chronic inflammation Of the
eyes, in diseases OF the skin, both as a local and
Internal remedy; in diseases OF the scalp and ul-
Gers generally, and all diseases of females, con-
nected with debility.
1t is expected that Madame Arraline Brooks,
The celebrated danseuse from New Orleans. will
spend the summer at the Springs, and will teach
all the modern and fancy dances, where all the
lovers Of the poetry oi notion will have an op-
portunlty oflearnng to tread the light fantastic
Toe" after the latest aud most approved style.

Mo Surrender.

Ever constant, ever trae,
Let the word be, No surrender;
Boldly dare and greatly do!
This shall bring Us bravely through;
No surrender, No surrender.
And, though fortunes smiles be few,
Hope is always springing new,
Still inspiring me and you
With a magic-No surrender!
Nail the colors to the mast,
Shouting gladly, No surrender!
Troubles near all but past
Serve them as you did the last;
No surrender, No surrender!
Though the skies be overcast,
And upon the sleety blast
Disappointments gather fast,
Beat them off with No surrender!
Constant and courageous still,
Mind, the word is, No surrender;
Battle, though it be up hill,
Stagger not at seeming i'll;
No surrender, No surrender;
Hope-and thus your hope fulfill
There's way where there's will,
And the way all cares to kill
Is to give them-No surrender!

UMBRELLAs-It is not hundred years since
Ia very eccentric Englishman, named Jonas Han
|wav having returned from his "travels in the
|east" (the record Of which is still preserved in
volumnious quarto form, with that title, in some
od libraries) appeared on the streets of London
ion rainy day it does rain in England some
|fimes.) With queer notion imported from China,
lin the shape Of what is now called ain umbrella.
lit was the first ever seen or used in England,
probably the first in Europe. 1t attracted such
Icurious and indignant notice that the eccentric
Jonas was soon surrounded BY turious English
lmob, and was boldly peted with mud and other
lconvenent missiles for his presumpuous audaci-
sty in thus attempting to screen his head and fig-
lure from the rain, which ali true born English
linen, from time immemorial, had allowed to beat
iupon them without resistance, as inevitable"
svisitation from the powers above npon all who
gchose to leave the shelter of roof in storm or
Ia sbdsTer.
The incident made noise, and in spite of ridi-
scuIe, the "outlandish, new fashioned notion"
began to take "mightiy'' with the extensively
Sbedrizzled people OF England, and as the new
machine was found to be as effective in protect
ling the person against the rays of the summer a
ssun. as against the falling rain, the learned
scondescended to borrow name FOR it from the
l'sumbrelLa' IA little shade. Poor Jonas Hau-
