casional relish in the ay Of dessert.
II we disobey those lawswe are called
to account, and become acquainted
with physical dyspepsia. II we partake
OF strong, wholesome literature, the
result is strong. active and well de-
veloped mental ability; if, on the 9th
er hand, we substitute the dessert for
the wholesome mental food, we be-
come afflicted with mental dyspepsia
The result is a weak, puny depraved

ment once fills the soul, chords are
set vibrating that will forever lend
sweet music and encllantment to the

One of our great University pres
idents has said in Childhood is an
impression, middle life a duty, old
age a sweet and hallowed memory"
and the success and honor of the sec
ond, with the sweetness and beauty
of the third, are largely determined
by the character OF the first. The di-
recting and controlling influence OF

extent in the books read by the boys

lutely essential is that the young mind
should be filled with higher and
broader ideas than are transmitted
from so-called Eight literature" we
see how the future of our great re-
public depends upon the impressions
mades upon tbs future rulers in the
formative period of their lives; how
their ideas of government must ma
terially affect the future policy of the

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The present session of the Univer-
sity Of Mississippi starts out the most
brilliant in the history OF the grand
old institution The attendance this
year is larger by third than any
session since the adjustment Of the
preparatory department. 1t has al
ways been a source of regret to Mis-
sissippians to see the boys and girls
of our state educated in institutions
of other states when it had one of its
own if the same intelligence was en-
ployed and the institution rightly
managed would prove equal to the
best. This we are glad to see the
present board of Trustees and Chan
cellor Fulton has done and their &C
tons have already. been endorsed by
the fathers of the state in entering
their sons on its roster. The compli-
ment the gentlemen in charge and
hope under their wise management

becomes one of the grandest institu-
tons of learning in the south.

THE PLANTERS SON.

In wars alarms, in beauty's charms,
In rank and file can always be found,
Brave men and youths who will liy
arms
To protect their homes and native
ground.
But in the strife to protect honor and
life
When heroic deeds must be dared
and done,
No ones more willing, no ones ex-
ceiling,
In risking life than the planters son.
He is no dude, his manners not rude,
But is blessed with frame that is
stout and strong,
His arms OF muscle are prepared to
tussle,
Against his Williams that do his people
wrong.
For courteous greeting and pleasant
meeting,
For playful mirth, or so-called fun,
The bar, the bench or political bench
Can't furnish the equal of the plant
er's SON
Some other men may make flowing
speeches,
To defend their party and support
their cause.
And others, too, in singing words,
like leeches,
Harrangue the crowd to gain APP
plause,
But when the story of fame and glo-
ry,
AS to how the victory was fought
and won,
The one to gain it and to maintain
it,
Is the dashingly, rustic-planters son.
The manly form and graceful move
ment,
The agile step and determined will,
Show most clearly that the latest i'm
provement,
In modern infantry and cavalry skill,
But when the cities in songs and
ditties,
OF all the nations under the sun,
Shall herald the victory of the con-
quering hero,
You'll find the leader-a planters son.
