WELCOME TO SPRING.

We have seldom met with more ex
quste poetic effusion than the following
"Welcome to Spring." by one of our mos
popular lady writers -
Spring is coming, with her flowers,
Ard her sunshine, and her showers
Spring is coming-Sprlng is coming!
Hear the little bees a.humming
Bursting buds and crimson roses,
Each the happy truth discloses;
Spring has come TO deck the bowers
Spring is laughing thro' the flowers.
Ger the hill tops bleak and bare,
Softly floats her golden hair;
And the blue sky pensive seems,
AS maiden when she dreams.
Gentle zephyrs softly tread
Round pale winters icy bed,
Singing old familiar lays
OF the happy by.gone days.
And the little birds are singing,
Hark their merry notes are ringing;
All! what melody doth float
From each tiny warbler's throat!
Rosy, dimpled, smiling Spring,
What world of Joy you britg!
Every heart with transport greets you,
And 20 linger long entreats you.

The WaShingtOnS in England.

Mr.. Sparks in his "Life of General Wash.
ington has remarked, that the circumstances
Of one of the more immediate ancestors Of
Washington having been a resident Of South
Cave, gave rise 10 an erroneous tradition
among his decendents that their ancestors
came from the north of EngIandn How
the learned and industrious historian makee
it out that the tradition is erroneous | am
unable to say, for think it is more than
probable that the Washingtons of South
Cave were originally from the north of Eng
land. Under this supposition, feel dispos.
ed to submit 10 the attention of your inteli-
gent readers a few remarks, which may
throw some light on the matter and resolve
my doubts.
Mr.. Sparks admits, that John, brother of
Lawrence Washington, dwelt at south Cave,
village on the banks of the river Humber,
and nearly opposite to the month of the
Trent, river usually regarded as the boun-
Diary of the south OF England and that he
emigrated 10 America about 1867 and set
lied in Virginia from whom, in direct line,
came the American patriot. To what linn
its the historian may confine the north OF
England, know not, but according to the
scattered memoranda in my possession, that
portion of the British Empire usually call
ed "North," had the honor of giving birth
to that illustrious branch Of the Washington
family.
Some time before the year I40O, the chief
ancestor resided at Washington a vile in
the Bishopric of Durham, and according to
Suree's history, was then called Herfsbwut
which cognomen, it is probable, according
TO the custom of that age, was dropped fol
that of William de Washington, by which
name it was ever afterwards known.
The William Washington left an only
daughter, Elnor, who gave her hand and
fortune 10 Sir William Tempest Of Sludley
Royal, in the east Riding Of the County O
York. From the Tempests, the Washing
ton estate went by marriage to the Mallory.
