Of our people last year, who emigrated
to Texas. But instead Of constructing a
piece of demagogery out of that and
using it for statistics to explain every
thing, as they do in the North. we merely
reasoned that it was benefit. That
class Of cmigrants generally had never
acquired farmstead with US, which only
costs $500 to 81 900 We reflected that
people who were 80 years old and had
saved nothing-not q cabin nor field
were no loss; that they must have sold
what they had to some one who would
be better neighbor; and that in Texas
they would do what never was done be-
fore by them, work or die can see,"
resumed this gentleman, tone of the
existing dstresses of the North: the
effort to maintain a long general prosper
ity and indulgence. You are slowly
suffering what came to us like thunder
bolt. In Georgia, only few miles from
Atlanta. one can buy hundred acres of
good land, with an improvement on it,
for $4,000. Here is Gen Gordon, our
senator, living in that region in that quiet
way. Now, 100 such acres will give
q family subsistence, feed the stock, and
send the children to college. We have
ceased to be a state of planters, and have
become q commonwealth of farmers
At present there is but once party sustain
italy. The South will vote Democratic
solidly in 1880; but after that general
division is inevitable" Gath" in the

WoMAN.-The perception of woman
is as quick as lightning-almost instinct.
BY glance she will draw deep and just
conclusion. Ask her how she formed il
and she cannot answer the question. A
philosopher deduces inference, and bis
differences shall be right; but he gets to
the head of the staircase, if may say 50.
by slow degrees, mounting step by step.
She arrives at the head Of the staircase
as well as he; but whether she flew there
is more than she knows herself. While
she trusts her instinct she is seldom de
ceived, and she is geneally lost when she
begins to reason.

The minutes Of the preceding meet.
ing were read and approved.
The almost entire absence of the older
members of the society, and parties who
had been selected to read, the little ones
OF the school were made to fill, and very
creditably, too, the vacuum occasioned
by the remissness of the members. The
exercises were more interesting and en-
tertaining than on any former occasion.

hear it limited that something original,

excellent picture of the troubles Of many

The wise and happy blending of the
comic and serious in the Rotations OF

would suggest more funny readings and
less serious ones, if full attendance at the
future meetings of the society is dc.
sired.
