LABOR NOT THoUGuT DEGRADISG At THB
SoUTH.-We cannot conceive how any
man who has ever lived both North and
South, can give place to the ridiculous i
dea that labor was ever regarded as more
iguoble at the South or as degrading a
man in the estimation Of either tho rich
or the poor, the slaveholding or the non
slapeEoldiug' On the contrary, the only
place where the laboring man, and espe-
cially the mechanic, was never clogged
in his efforts to rise among his fellow men
where his employment and the hard ness
of bis hands never gave exclusion from
company, where his family easily passe d
into the charmed circle of good society
when their accomplishments suit them
therefor, was the South. The hvorite
mayor of New Orleans, the one who long
est retained his position, was a journey
man halter, another printer, nor can a
single instance be shown in the State
where a pau was helped into office by the
reputatian Of being an "urislocrat' OF n
man of wealth. So IN Mississippi; its ia
yorite Governor, joe Matthews, was 4
well-digger, Governor Tucker, a black
smith, and its Senator, John Henderson,
a shoemaker. man aspiring to high
place in the affections of the people, had
always to appeal to evidences Of early in
dustry and toll to prove himself to be a
practical friend of the people and to know
their wants. Iu truth, tho "aristocracy"
of the South has always been ofpoor men
True, there were some who affected to
despise labor and laboring men, but these
were invariably such as had travelled North
and learned snobblishness among the yul-
gar rich a, Newport and Saratoga Ask

southern States and North alike, in which
O. Them he was treated with most respect.
IL mas been the fashion for years. for the
Northern press 10 assert that labor was
considered degrading to the white man in
the South. The Southern people and
Northern men living South did not deem
the accusation worthy Of renly. When
it is repeated in our midst, and through
the suilerance of men who know better. I'VE
deem it our duty TO reply TO it with EN-.
phasis, that it is less true Of The South and
Southern people than of any other upon
Gods footstool.-Ne0 Orleans Picapme,

IN the mountains of Tyrol it is the custom
of the women and children to come out when
it is bed time and sing their national songs,
until the husbands, fathers and brothers an
swer them from the hills on their return home
On the shores Of the Adfiatic such custom
prevails, about sunset, singing a melody. After
singing stanza. they listen for an answering
melody from OF the water, and continue to sing
and listen till the well known voice comes
borne on the waters, telling the loved ones are
almost home. How sweet to the weary fisher
man, as the shadows gather round bin, must
be the sons OF the loved ones at home; and how
they must strengthen and tighten the links
that bind together those humble dweilers by
the sea. Truly it is among the lowly in this
life that we End some OF the most beautiful
customs ID practice.
