THH soUTHHRN RLAcKs.

Wishing to learn the exact condi-
ton of plantation negroes, your cor
respondent sauntered one morning
to the 'quarter," on fertile farm in
Beauford county. The cabins were
the same used before the war, and af-
forded ordinary comfort. A vegeta-
BILE garden, a chicken coop, and q
pig pen we're attacked to each house.
The more prosperous had little log
stables for their mules.
The first house was occupied by
woman who came to the door with
an infant in her arms, and a brood
of children clinging to her skirts.
She answered my inquiries by say
ing that the catterpillars had severe
ly injured her crop, and all that was
left was seized for her indebtedness.
"Do you have all these children to

son helped me, but he got big family

"Where is your husband?"
Hi! My husband done lef me

"You say your crop is gone, then
how do you liver"
81 dunno, sir" she replied, look
ing down as if embarrassed.
"Can you get work?'
"Ise sick; ! can't work now"
"How about this girl2" l said,
pointing to half-grown girl crouch
ed on the floor.
"Hester too young fur work" was
the quick answer; then suddenly, 81
amt er gwine ter gee my chile ter
nobody fur stump her growf."
Leaving the grass widow l turn
ed to the next house, where the pre-
sence of a mule bespoke a better
condition Of the tenant. An old
man and woman surrounded by
grandchildren modestly answered all
questions:
mo, sir, nebber lef dis place. Ise
true to my old owners and dey is
true to me"
"You appear to be doing welr'
"0h, no, not so berry well; you see
we all works, but we all eats, and
dere is heap OBJ months. Den desc

ty, if dey would let me lone"
"Do you make money!"
'fLa; sakes! why l jis done pay
fur dat mule; now if l lib anodder
year, den will mex de money"
The third house was occupied by
a dignified old manner, who seemed
disinclined to disclose any facts re-
lating to her worldly estate. Her
tidy house and garden, the crib of
corn, and other signs Of food be-
spoke a comfortable provision.
The last house was occupied by q
strong young couple. The man was
surly and disseminated, and regard
ed his years operation as failure.

House Plants in Cold Weather

House Plants in Cold Weather.
House plants require vast amount
of care every day and from week to
week. They need especially to be
guarded against exposure to sudden
changes of temperature. Where a
number of pots with flowers are
placed near a window, during cold
or cloudy day, unless the tempera-
ture Of the apartment is properly
maintained the flowers will be seri-
ously injured by the cold. In cold
day, unless the sun shines brightly
on the flowers, or at night, unless
the batten shutters of the window
are closed, no colder place can be
found in the apartment than close to
large window. Many florists seem
to forget their flowers during cold
nights, leaving them near the win
dow, where they are liable to become
severely chilled. The best place for
flowers during a cold day or night is
on high table near the middle of a
large room. The higher the table
the better for the flowers. For this
purpose a large table on castors
should be provided, so that a portion
or all the pots can readily be rolled
to the middle of the apartment, All
plants are invigorated and rendered
more luxuriant by exposure to the
full influences of the MONDAY sun.
Yet, on cloudy and windy days, it
will be quite as well to keep them
near the center Of the room, away
from a cold window. If any one
doubts that a foot or two from a win
dow is the coolest place in the room,
let him place q thermometer a few
inches from the glass for half an
hour and then transfer it to the mid
die of the room, and he will perceive
that the instrument will indicate q
marked variation of temperature.
Plants in pots are frequently placed
outside of a window during a cold
yet sunshiny day. But such expo
sure Injuries the stems and leaves far.
