One day recently while riding in n
"frst-class' car down here all the
coaches are designated as first and second
class in true English Style we overheard
a lady from New York city remark that
she was in love with the South. She
said that she would be perfectly miser-
able if she thought that she would be
obliged by circumstances to live con
stantly in the chilly and changeablc
North. She had spent her childhood
and maiden days on very valuable farm
in southern Ohio. Her later DAYS had
been spent in the great metropolis of the
nation. She had never known poverty,
and what necessaries and comforts she
needed she invariably got. Six years
ago she came South for her health She
was a physical wreck. She began life
anew. She spent every hour that She
could out of doors. She walked. She
rode horseback. She took buggy rides.
She regained her health; aud who can
blame her for loving what had actually
given her life as we'll as happiness?

am reminded that lady recently went
into a store not thousand miles from
here and called with the most perfect
nonchalance for two dozen clothcs-pins.
The clerk handed her Il paper of pins.
The same lady called for dust-pan. The
clerk looked puzzled, said they didn't
keep em, and finally asked what dust
pan is used for. Writing of clothes-pins
reminds me of little incident. a negro
girl employed as domestic laughed her
self sick recently over the manner in
which two men from the North did their
