Southern Life.


The southern planter as A rule. was A
careful administrator of his estate: and
in the same snug. tidy manner of which
the northern farmer boas,s-he did not
work and fuss and weary over all the de-
tails OF farm management as much as his
compeer of the north. nor was his sense
OF fitness outraged by 4 lack of complete
ness and order which would have driven
the farmer of the middle state into an IN
sane asylum. There WAS sort of laxitv
abou, his methods wuich was hard Tor
the northern man 20 distinguish from
slothililness. Vet he watched with care
the development OF the crop. the progress
of his WORK. ard was no doub, better
director - labor than could be generally
found upon the northern farm. With
ignorant labor and crude machinery he
achieved good results. IL is especially
with regard 10 the domestic life OF the
south, however. that false ideas prevailed
Al the north. The planters family has
been credited with hospitality of lavish.
careless kind. but very small proportion
of the people of the north have ever sup
posed that the planters wife was very
generally Martha OF the most anxious
anu utuDASA variety. he difIcfenCc OF
method betwix, the northern and the
southern housekeeper has been so grea,
that the former has very often been in
ollned 10 elevate 2 dainty nose in scorn
of any protested requirements of the lat
ter. So. too, the hurly-burly OF our
northern life. its sharp competition and
the cons,an, influx of the outside world
have been such as to pEedispose US TO IN
derestimase the charming domes,ici,y of
the southern home. II is not often as
strictly ordered or administered with that
anxiety with regard to detail that charac-
,erzes the northern household. vet there
IS rarely 10 be found more faithful pur-
veyof of comforts than the mistress OF
southern plantation. The very isolation
OF life, the rarity of strangers visits. and
the care with which even the mos, distant
family ties are remembered and acknowi-
edged in that section, all tend TO make
the domestic life of the better class of the
south very charming and delightful.

Mrs B.selow was an ideal centre of

and lionesses were shutfied up well with

Bigelow was Quakeress, and held to the
simple ways of the Friends, among whom
she was reared. She also KEEP, the bloom

miles along the narrow and often noxious
streets of the cast side will retain a very
definite idea OF our superiority in this re-
spect. Most of these structures were
built TO house as many people as posi-
bic, and With no more light and air than
was absolutely necessary. The result is
that thousands of people are crowded
INTO dark and ill-ventilated holes. The
heat of summer breads vermin. The wa
