Going North,

dull summer months, go TO Northern wa
tering places to pass away their time and
the money they have amassed by sharp
dealing with their Southern brethren, APP
parently unmindful or careless of the fact
that they have watering places at the South
equal in quality of water, beauty of scene
ry, aristocracy of company, and attractive
ness generally to any of those North Of
Mason and Dixon's line. This, of course,
they have alright to do, as the money is,
in many instances, their own, and they
have right to spend it when, where, and
how they please. The taste, however, of
lavshiuG money upon those who despse
and contemn them is not only very ques-
tiouablc but decidedly bad, and betrays a
spirit entirely foreign from boasted South
ern chivalry The people of the North, rs
a general thing, are taught to look upon
Southerners as an inferior class of people,
and heart requisite in the character of the
true lady or gentleman, and hence, the in.
tcrcourse between the two must he con

it strikes us, would make summer at Il
Northern watering place very mouotonous
and disagreeable to Southerner Wit. a
proper spirit of pride and lfappreciation.
Apart from this, to a Southerner who has
been in the habit of having his commands
obeyed at all public hotels and elsewhere,
by colored servants, it must chafe their spir-

WOMAN IN THE Early PERIOD OF THE
WoRLD.-Of Eve We have but very faint
/. account though it appears from Scripture
that she had very numerous family, and
tradition makes her the mother of thirty
three sons and twenty three daughters; but
beyond this we have not the slightest re
cord of her mode of living, or the manner
of her death, thus proving that even in The
very earliest age, woman's existence wa'
so completely swallowed up in the strong
cr one Of man, that it was not thought nee
essary to recognize her as "helpmeet fo
man" During what is called the potri
archial period, the condition of woman wa
one of degradation. With regard to mar
