THE ELYsIUM OF COUNTRY LIFE.

The theory has from time immemorial
existed that man was blessed who could
shake off the dust and discomfort and
wickedness of the crowded city and settle
down in peace amid the quiet and sim
plicity of life in the country. Fresh
vegetables, pure air, sweet milk, delicious
butter, peace, contentment and health
were the inevitable lot of him who could
50 flee away from the wickedness of the
town. In very fact how much of this is
truth? Since railroads have practically
annihilated distances and brought the
country, with the best it has, to the door
OF the city; since sanitary science has
cleared away the causes of contagion, and
architects have improved our dwellings
so that comfort and convenience are COM
bined; since the telegraph has brought
the news of the world across continents
and seas to await us at our breakfast and
our tea tables; since the learning of the
world is gathered on the shelves of city
libraries; the wonders of art in our gal
leries and museums; the graces of elo-
quence in the pulpits of our city
churches and the lecture rostrum; since
the most skillful surgeons and physicians
are ready to attend us when we suffer
fractured limbs or sickness; since choicest
fish, oysters, butter, fruit, vegetables,
milk, meat eggs flour are brought daily
for the city buyer, who has the money to
purchase and pay for them, it becomes a
question of grave doubt whether
the country has aught that is equ lily at
tractive to offer to its inhabitants. Away
from towns, one has green fields, butgen-
orally mud knee deep during the seasons
of storms and bad weather. OF country
luxuries you have just what you are
at pains to cultivate, and the labor of
cultivation is often greater than the
pleasure they yield when obtained. The
nights in country houses are generally
dull and lonesome in spite of the quiet that
is enjoyed. The Sundays are the only
days of leisure and frequently churches
are too remote to be reached, esp cially if
the weather is unpropitious; vegetables
Or fruits are oftentimes failure, butch
ers are few and far between, meats are
tough and sometimes absolutely unattain-
tainable; lectures, libraries and amuse-
ments are unknown; physicians are
remote and often unskillful in
times of sickness; schools are not always
conveniently located, and farm-houses
are frequently dreary and uncomforta-
bic. Help is precarious to be had when
wanted, dews and storms predispose to
colds and rheumatism, and the farmer
and the farmers wife and family are
compelled to labor early and late for the
simplest comforts and fare, thotal is said
when we declare it to be abundant. In
short, in the house of well ordered city
resident, more comfort, more of the
boasted productions of the country,
poultry, butter, eggs fruit, cheese and veg
ables. and in better order, are enjoyed
than by the most thrifty and enterpris-
ing resident Of the country anywhere.
The fact has been felt for several years
more and more sensibly, but it is yet
hardly prudent to give the sentiment dis
tinct and absolute utterance in news

fear what they would probably wait a
long while to do through sense of duty

that three of the wealthiest owners at
Havana lately emancipated six thousand

their example, The planters are losing
faith in the ability Of the Spanish Gov

The Late Snow Storm.

The snow. storm of the 10Th, seems TO have
been one with peculiarly Southern proclivities
and "local attachments" In this State it COM
pleely ignored the Northern and Northwestern
section of it, We learn that it did not visit
Sparianburg, Grecnvillc, Walhalla, and other
places lying North of this latitude, while from
q few miles above this point down to Charleston
it was the earliest and heaviest snow storm
known for years. AT Aston, we are told, it fell
from three to five inches deep and the depth
gradually grew less until about five miles above

by our farmers on this subject lately and We
have no doubt, as the Legislature is about to
