Life in the" Land of the Sky."

At the late meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement O,
Science, in Boston. the writer sought
information from the professor Il. T.
Proctor) about the homespun fabrics
that still constitute the common wear o.
large population inhabiting the terrC
(almost) incognita of the United States
viz, the mountain sides and valleys Of
eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, north
ern Georgia, western North and South
Carolina and southwestern Virginia
and was invited to explore part of the
region by him.
This section is, We may say, some
what larger than Great Britain, and
contains more and purer iron and coal
equal deposits of copper, lead, zinc
and salt. besides corrundum and gold
in its mines; it enjoys what is probably
the finest climate on this continent; il
is permeated by the most fertile valleys
and bears upon its hill and mountain
sides the heaviest growth and greatest
variety Of hardwood timber.
Ii to this true mountain region be
added the Piedmont and Cumberland
plateaus on the east and west, the blue
grass section OF Kentucky, and the
high uplands of Alabama and Georgia
the area will be enlarged to nearly that
OF France, and it may be affirmed
that there is no where else to be found
in this country, in an equal area, such
an opportunity for diversity of employ
ment in agriculture, mining, metallur.
gy,so var ETY. of manufactures.
Yet in the first two dwellings, built
of logs. to which the writer was guided
from the new town of Rugby, not only
the house, but everything in or about
it except iron and crockery ware, had
been made by members of the family
with their own hands. In the garden
grew the little patch Of cotton to be
ginned on IA small roller gin, whitfield
out with o iacknife; on the hillside
ranged the sheep. Both the wool and
cotton were carded with hand cards
and spun ON the spinning wheel by the
house mother or hor children, then
woven on tho hand loom, the frame oi
which had been fashioned with broad
axe from the oak Of their own pasture
The boys were clad in butternut gar
ments, the father in blue jeans, from
the same loom. The sheets, bed-quiltt
and blankets were truly hand -factured
in the same way, while the beds were
stuffed with feathers plucked from theil
own geese.
In the next house l managed to pur
chase blue and white qailt of very
artistic pattern, and striped cottor
and wool blanket, both woven by the old
lady. who seemed to think it intradig. te
sell the product of her own hands, and
only consented when l explained to hel
that l wished them to keep as examples
of what will soon become one of the
lost arts. Her twelve-treddle loom

characteristic of the man that We will
give it TO our readers, though the
good nature and wit are conveyed in q
rude expression.
The justice aud friend had driven
up to picnic at Powers Grove some
years ago, and had hitched the horse
under tho shed. When they were
ready to leave, their horse was gone,
and nobody could tell them anything
aboat it. The justice was in rage,
supposing the horse had been stolen,
and he INDUCED IN some pretty strong
Language. Presently the justice saw
the iamentcd Father kaveny (who, by
the way, was buried just one year ago
today coming upon the ground, and
joyfuily hailed him, for Father Kaveny
was loved by everybody who knew
him. The justice introduced his friend
to the priest, and they we're having a
pleasant chat, when all at once Father
Kaveny remembered that he had al
apology to make, SO he began as fol-
lOws:
"Justice -, L wanted to 20 down
to Troy to get some moro confectionery.
l found 4 horse ont hero and somebody
said it was yours. knew you wouldn t
care, SO took him and went to Troy
and have just returned"
A merry twinkle came into tho jns-
tices eyes as no remarked:
$50 it was you took my horse,
father, and here L have been getting
angry at somebody who | supposed rad
stolen it. It's all right, Father Ksvouy.
You might take my horse and drive to
HI with it and l wouldn't care"
The good priest frowned at the pro-
family, but could not refuse smile mt
the wit, and the justice made his es-
cape before he could hear reprcof.--

Two Pictures.

Close by the edge OF the park,
In mansion OF splendor and pleasure,
Lived 9 great lord OF the land,
With vile Of beauty iesplendent;
Great was his name in the world,
Great his renown As statesman;
Numberless friends he possessed,
And one whom he loved as brother.
Death overlook him one day,
In spite Of his friends and his riches;
He wss buried with pomp and state
His wife and his friend broken hearted.
Aspendid tomb did they build.
His virtues in gilt letters showing;
And then in the course OF q year,
His bosom friend married the widow
Down in the darksome den,
In the dirtiest depths Of the city,
Dwelt all alone sn cid mau,
Bent t-backed, rheumatic and feeble:
Children nor wife had he,
But only dog for companion
Lame and ugly and old.
But loving and faithful and tender.
Dead one morning in bed,
He was found by his landlord rcnt.secking
No mourners stood by his tomb,
In pauper's coffin they laid him.
Some one passed by that way,
In the course of week or so after;
There on the mound lay the dog,
Dead on the grave OF his master!
