THE COUNTRY TO LIVE IN.

No one who looks calmly into the
matter, can fail TO observe that the Souths
ern States are the garden spot Of this
continent The South is the place for
I the einigrant who seeks q home In, our
country, where labor can he had and
where labor sreaps its highest reward.
The rebellion left the South poor indeed.
but it did not destroy her rich soil and
genial climate. The work of nature is
still there in all its exuberaut richness of
soil and mildness of climate, inviting the
frugal hand of industry to come and be
happy and get rich.
The report TO the statistical bureau at
Washington for the year 1867, showed
that the exports of the South amonnted
to 1928, 100000, while those Of the North
were only $2l3,009000. There, then,
was the product Of the industry of 8, 000,-
900 of SOutherners bringing more in the
markets Of the world than "a, 100000 of
Northerners. And this, too, so soon after
q long war, which exhausted the South and
enriched the North.
such statements as these are a won
derful commentary upon the resources OF
the Southern States They show that all |
that is needed to make our Southern |
States the arbiters Of our export trade, is
labor to cultivate their boundless and in
exhaustibly rich lands. The negro labor
there is doing better than was expected
of it, but white labor will do still better.
Let the tide of emigration once set in
that way, and it will never close. The
who labors hard to secure small
gains from the North will fud that he
reaps much higher reward for his toll
beneath the warm sky and on the rich
Ioil of the South And, in spite of all
he assertions to the contrary. reliable
statistics show that the Southern States
IRE the healthiest portion of our country.
rhe yellow fever sometimes does sad work
n certain places, but the majority Of the
inhabitants live longer in the Southern
'tates and enjoy better health living
han they do in the North.
We fully appreciate the truthful force I
f the foregoing, which we clip from
n exchange, and we commend it to the {
ttention of our readers

She is fair and very pretty,
With a sparkling. bright blue eye.
And her cheeks with smiles are dimpled
When she knows I'm standing BY,
Yet she says she does not love me
Never will be wife of mine;
But those smiles and dimp!es tell me
With despair need not pine.
So let her meet my pleadings
With her bright and saucy smile,
And bow before the archness
lighting up her face the while;
Listening with feigned emotion,
And put-on look Of woe:
For love TO hear her accent
See her lips when saying " No"
! Love TO see the graceful action
of her foot upon the ground
As its tiny sole she patters,
There is music in the sound.
And the words come TO my hearing
Sweet rs murmurs Of the dove;

Athens, and through this PERIOD his
tory has preserved for us nothing
memorable regarding the new Repub-
lie. But the spirit of Democracy,
which was peculiar to the Atlienians
already in Homer's time, quickened
again at the close of this period A
lifelong continuance of the Archon-
ship was to them an image of the roy
al, dignity altogether too vital, and
perhaps the preceding Afchonsi sihad
abused their great and permanent
power. The sway of the Archon was
therefore now limited to ten gesrs.-
A very important step toward future
freedom; for, by this, the people re-
newed the act of their sovereignty in
asmuch as every ten years they elect
ed new ruler. Every ten years, they
again resumed their authority in or
der to give it away anew according to
their liking. BY this means, there re-
manned to them ever in vivid fecollec-
ton that which the subjects of heredi-
tary monarcliies at last wholly forgot !;
viz, that they themselves are the source
of the highest power, and that the
prince is onlythe creature of the ma
ton.
During 300 years had the Athenian
people endured over them lifelong
Archon, but now in the 10th year of
the ten year Archons, they had be-
come VERY of their rule. This was
perfectly natural; for, during this
time, they had seven times renewed
the Archon's election, they were
therefore seven times reminded of
their own sovereignty. The spirit of
freedom must then have been far
more actively quickened in the second
period, and must have been far more
rapidly developed than in the first.
The seventh OF the ten year Archon
was also the last of this class. The
people desired to have every year the
enjoyment of the supreme authority,
since they had found by experience
that power lent for-ten years con
tinued even still long enough to lead
to abuse of the same. Mp.

DoN'T BE A LoBsTER.-A lobster,
who, left high and dry among the
rocks, has not sense and energy
enough to work his way back to the
sea, but waits for the sea to come to
him. If it does not come, he remains
where he is, and dies, although the
slightest exercise would enable him
to reach the waves which are perhaps
tossing and tumbling within yard Of
him. There is tide in human affairs
that casts men into "tight places
and leaves them there, like stranded
Holsters. If they choose to lie where
breakers have flung them, expecting
some grand billow to take them on its
shoulder and carry them to smooth
water, the chances are that their hope:
will never be realized. Nor is i
right they should be. The social ele
ment ought not to help him wh'
makes no effort to help himself.
