AUGUST.

There has been of late years, on the part of the
northern cold weather fugitive, tendency to
doubt the right of the south to the possession of
the title ''sunny." He leaves the land of snow
and frost in the dead Of winter, with all his gauze
underwear and his invectives against cold weather,
to take refuge in what is called the 'sunny south"
1t is doubtless little disheartenng to him to find
the blizzard is here ahead of him. He forthwith
gets out the invectives he brought from home and
after applying them to this region and the atmos-
phere round about, he takes them with him on
shopping expedition in quest of aannels and
base burner
Through this unamable weather fugitive, the
land of perpetual summer has been for some time
in dsrepute But if this same northern scoffer
will come now to the land of the orange grove and
the hooking bird, he will be able to discover Just
why the south is called sunny" He will no
longer deny it the right to the title. O, the per-
petual glare, the remorseless blue of southern
sky in midsummer! Ambition wanes-save with
the sun and the thermometer, who wink in fiend-
ish glee at each other as they joyousy climb their
respective pathways. The insects grow weary
and cease to hum the leaves are hushed and the
breeze is still. The wells and COWS all grow dry
Nature, all parched and withered and dumb,
calls out to the unanswering skies-and no cloud
rolls up to answer her prayers. What "silver
lining can compete with the majesty of darkness
in the cloud of promise-the August cloud that
cometh not!
Meantime the cotton grows, and the negro is

ON THE SUWANEE RIVER.

By thorn clad roses swinging
Past old magnolia trees,
There flows river singing
In its journey to the seas;
Drifting, drifting in the distance
AS shadow slowly fees,
Sweeping by without resistance
To the ever waiting seas.
And deep eyed cattle thlrsting
Beside its waters meet,
And cotton bolls, slowly bursting
In the drowsy tropic heat,
Turn their snowy bosoms sunward
As the summers pulses beat,
While the shadows, flying onward,
Skim the earth with winged feet.
By the rocks the ripples daily
And idle there at ease,
Until along the valley
Steals the whisper of the breeze,
Then as lightly as a feather
They go dancing by the trees
Through the languorous southern weather
To the gray and restless seas.
And dusky PUSHES culver
Where eddes whirl along,
And the motion of the river
Holds touch of hidden song,
And the sunlights darts are streaming
Where water Ill es throng,
While the pebble stones are cleaning
As the water swift and strong
Deep murmurs, as complaining
OF fate that holds it fast,
OF reeds that rise OBTAINING
At the fords and bridges passed,
And its music breaks and scatters
As an echo's sound is cast
While the current leaps and chatters
And widening out at last,
Goes babbling DER the shadows,
By hills and grassy leas,
Past slender, waving mallows,
And the swamps and cypress knees,
And sunset shades are clnging
To the Spanish moss and trees,
AS the river floats, still singing,
Till it mingles with the seas.

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW.


A facetous Photographer recently wrote, 'Adam
never had a mother-n-aw; his wife needed no
assistance in making trouble in the family" The
mother-in-law joke is old and feeble, yet never
theless the humorous column has its arms ever
outstretched to receive it, But it is high time this
cause was attended to-; high time society even,
was organized for the defense of the down trodden
mother-in-law. 1t is a generally understood fact
that this infelcitous relative is only in the possess
sion of the sterner sex. The authority of long
usage would define the word as ''your wife's moth
er; the custodian Of your wfe's happiness; your
wifes confdante; the repository your shortcom-
ings; an evil necessity person with great ex-
perience and moral courage much larger person
than your home can accommodates the fountain
head of your unhappiness; the subject of per-
petual joke that is not chestnut" etc ETC. This
is the popular meaning of the word Everyone
has an instructive knowledge of its significance, and
you would as soon think to look upyour own name
in Worcester or Webster, as to find this word
satisfactorily explained.
Woman occupies many relative positions through
life. She cultivates tact and virtues, and is re-
warded by the respect and love of all with whom
she is thrown in contact; but as soon as her
daughter marries, her good qualities, or rather her
reputation for virtues is wiped out with one fell
swoop. The blotter Of precedent and prejudice
is clapped down over her well-written life page,
and all the virtues of lfetimes cultivation are
absorbed therein She has become a mother-in-
law. Her sons may marry and re-marry, and she
may become a grandmother oft repeated times,
but only through her daughters can she be visited
with this appellation.
Now, there must be reason for all this and
before code of resolutions or platform for this
down trodden cause can be effectively drawn up,
it seems fitting that one should inquire into it. TO
begin WITH woman is the root of all evil The
Bible once asserts that money enjoys this dis
tinction, but an error is apparent, for from
woman sprang the quality of acqusitiveness, of
which she is therefore the prime cause. This is
one point.
Once upon time philosopher, in moment
of broad and unprecedented reasoning, seasoned
perhaps with little remorse on his own account,
gave utterance to the following remarkable state
ment; 'There is slumbering hog in every
