A Rich Southerner's Home.

A ride through some of the interior
counties OF certain Of the Southern States
is most interesting. Sometimes the
houses are from ten to eighteen miles
apart; then the traveller comes up to a
low edilice of one OF two rooms. The
owner may have ten children and 100
head of cattle. The children are bare
footed, and do not know the inside of "A
book from the outside. The parents and
children all smoke tobacco and live on
sweet potatoes, coffee and cOrn-cakes,
baked in the Old-faSl,iOn .'ovens." And
| stopped ut the home of Il rich native.
The cottage of two rooms was squatted
under lonely grove of oaks. Here and
there stately pine trees. like sentinels on
duty, reared their feathery beads. A
sweet old "hundred-leaf" c0se'tlamber-
ed against the tiny stoop and one wood
en- window-opening. Pigs and chickens
and big yellow dog or two were sprawl
ing here and there in the cool shadow
and dust. A 1O-year-Old boy crouching
in the doorway pulled stolidly at his
pipe. The owner of this estate and all
its belongings swallOw-faced, lanky
individual-stood under the tree watch
ing our approach. He shouted at the
baying dogs rs we came into the yard.
He eyed us curiously. and, we thought,
rather coldly, but when we asked if he
could take us in for the night, he said,
with rough hospitality, that was genu-
.ine and pleasing: 1.-The house is free to
ye. Anything we've got is welcome to
yer. We kin stay as long rs yer like,
and 60 when the notion takes yer. This
is free country"
This man owned hundreds of acres of
land, hundreds of head of cattle, and
had about $l5, in hard cash. With
all the cattle such thing as Il drop of
milk was unknown in that house. They
never MIXED cow. White bread was
as much q rarity to them as it would be
to an Irish peasant. Their coffee they
sweetened with molasses. Their bread
was corn-cakes. If they had fresh meat
or fowls it was always boiled. They
were even barbarOus enough to boil wild
turkey, 4 sacrilege for which l some
how never forgave them. They never
saw a newspaper, and neither they nor
their children could have read it if they
had. To be sure. such people are very
happy in their way, but it admits of no
argument that their way is not the right
way, and see no chance for their meth

Don't be Afraid of Work.

Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with Overwork son, is the facetious way
the Burlington HaUkeye has Of counsel
ing young men to thrift. Men seldom
work so hard as that on the sunny side
of thirty. They die sometimes; but it
is because they quit work at 6 Z. NJ. and
don't get home until 2 A. M. It's the in
tervals that kill, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for your meals; it
lends solidity to your slumber; it gives
you perfect and grateful appreciation
of a holiday. There are young men
who do not work, my son-young men
who make living by sucking the end
of a cane. and who can tie necktie in
eleven different knots, and never lay a
wrinkle in it; who can spend more money
in day than you can earn in month.
son; and who will go to the sherifi's to
buy postal card, and apply at the Office
of the street commissioners for u mar
riage license. So find out what you
want to be and TO do. son, and take OIL
your coat and make success in the world.
The buster you are. the less evil you will
be apt TO get into, the sweeter will be
your sleep, the brighter and happier
your holiday, and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.
