Life in the Cotton States.

Frances A. Doughty in Lippincotts for May.
The stranger who saw the Atlanta Ex-
position, small and unimposing though
it was compared to the Columbian NAM
moth at Chicago, came away full of hope
for the cotton States In their unfath-
omed resources of field and forest, mine
and factory. A few days later the same
visitor may have felt sense of discour-
8gement in travelling through the rural
districts, because Of a monoLonous con-
trast constantly showing itself there be-
tween the vastness Of geographic areas
and the restriction Of sociological condi-
tions. The everyday face of "Dlxie"
still shows the care and uncertainty
resultant upon the social upheaval OF
the Civil war; vague sadness seems to
brood over the silence of untrodden
woods and flowery glades, thick pail Of
Spanish moss trailing pensively over the
gigantic live oaks and the sinewy cyprus
trees Most of the ancestral homes have
been abandoned by their owners for a
residence in the cities, the white -columned
porticos of the favorite Colonial archi-
lecture now moldering in decay, the wide
and once hospitsble front halls resound-
ing only to the rough banter and quar-
rels OF Negro tenants and their children.
To fine and sympathetic ear the astral
shell Of a former state seems to be giving
forth plants for the loved and lost,
echoes Of the old ante-b -bellLm days in the
Southland.

"spirits." The evil Of "spiriting away, .
both children and adults, became SO
great that in 1864 She committee for for
eign plantations interposed, and the
council created the Office Of register,
charged With the duty Of keeping rec
ord Of all persons going to America as
servants, and the statement that they
had voluntarily left England. This act
was soon followed by another fixing the
penalty Of death, without benefit Of
clergy, in every case where persons were
found guilty Of kidnapping children or
adults. But even these extreme meas
ures did not put an end to the evil; and
it is stated that 10000 persons were an
nually kidnapped after the passage Of
the act.
The wages paid were, as a rule, small,
though some complaints are found, espe-
cially in New England, Of high wages
and poor service. More often the wages
we're mere pittance. Elizabeth Evans
came from Ireland to serve John Wheel
wright for three years, Her wages we're
to be G3 year and passage paid. Mar
gerry Batmsn, after five years Of service
in Charlestown, was to receive a she goat
to help her in starting life, Mary Polly,
according to the terms Of her indenture,
was to serve ten years and then receive
"three barrels Of corn and one suit Of
penistone and one suit Of good serge,
with one black hood, two shifts of dowlas
and shoes and hose convenient"

Family Reading.
TWO BOYS.

Between two bOnny boys stand,
On each fair head rest hand.
Two faces bright are raised TO mine,
And both with boyish mischief shine;
Two eyes Of gray, two eyes Of blue,
Who're childhood's happy heart looks through
On each dear head hand lay,
"God keep my bonny boys" pray.
Dream, childrenl Visions OF the night,
You vanish with the morning light.
Between two baby graves kneel,
Too tired for tears--I only feel.
Babes eveFl Never older grown,
SO young they could not walk alone.
On each short mound hand lay;
"God keep my bonny boys" pray.

When this woman was a child, her
parents lived far from schools, so she
had no chance then to learn to read or
write. AS mere child she began to
earn her own living, and again the
chance for schooling slipped away. Then
she married and the cares of family
took up her time. By the time the
babies we're off her hands, her husband
had grown rich, and then she began her
real education, and now, as a widow, she
continues it, Her companions read to
her and talk with her about all the topics
which interest her, Years of such work
have stored her mind with rich treas

she is not familiar with. Her stores of

of these two bodies has dealings with
this tailor, and each month between the
first and the tenth days he visits every
station house and engine and truck
house in this city to collect his dues. He
has acquired considerable wealth, and it
is said Of him that in all the years he has
dealt with the firemen and policemen he
never was known to make mistake of
q cent in any mans account, although all
his records Of transactions have been
kept in his head.

A holy life is made up of q number Of

speeches or sermons; little deeds, not
miracles of battles, nor one great heroic

sistencies, little weaknesses, little follies,

Educated, Though She Could Not Read
From the New York Sun.
The wonderful development Of certain
faculties in the cases Of persons who
have lost the use of some Of their natural
functions, or of others whose faculties
have not been fully developed, has long
been matter of remark, but it is not
alone the outside observers who appre-
ciate the provisions of nature for the
benefit Of the unfortunstes. The suffer.
ers themselves often appreciate this
fully, and in some instances, after years,
grow to depend so much upon their ac-
quired faculties as to be afraid OF a
change, even il they have the chance OF
one.
An illustration of this is given by a
woman in Brooklyn who never has
learned to read or write. In no way
could one discover this except BY her

Servants in Colonial Days.

From Domestic Service" by Lucy Maynard
Salmon.
Domestic service in America has passed
through three distinct phases. The first
extends from the early colonization to
the time Of the Revolution; the second
from the Revolution to about 1850; the
third from 1850 to the present time.
During the Colonial period service Of
every kind was performed by transported
convicts, indentured white servants or
"redemptioners," "free willers," Negroes
and Indians The first three classes
convicts, redemptioners and free willers
were Of European, at first generally
English, birth.
Protests were often made against this
method Of settlement, both by the'colo-
nists themselves and by Englishmen,
but it was long before the English Gov
ernment abandoned the practice Of
transporting criminals to the American
colonies.
OF the three classes Of white, or Chris
tian servants, as they we're called to dis
tlnguish them from the Indians and
Negroes, the free wiileUs were evidently
found only in Maryland. They were re-
ceived under the condition that they be
allowed certain number Of days in
which to dispose of themselves to the
greatest advantage.
1t is impossible TO state the proportion
Of servants belonging to the two classes
Of transported convicts and redemption
ers, but the statement is apparently fair
that the redemptioners who sold them
selves into service to pay for the cost Of
their passage constituted by far the
larger portion. These we're found in ell
the colonies, though more numerous in
the Southern and Middle colonies than
in New England. In Virginia and Mary.
land they outnumbered the Negro slaves
until the latter part OF the seventeenth
century, In Massachusetts apprentiCed
servants, bound for term of years, we're
sold from ships in Boston as late as 1870,
while the general trade in bound white
servants lasted until the time of the
Revolution, and in Pennsylvania even
until this century.
The first redemptioners we're naturally
Of English birth, but after time they
were supplanted by those Of other ma
tionalities, particularly by Germans and
Irish. AS early as IT'S there was COM
plant OF the Irish immigrants in Massa-
chusetts.
II has been said that great majority
Of the redemptiOners belonged at first to
q low class in the social scale. A con-
siderable number, however, both men
and women, belonged to the respectable,
even to the so-called upper class Of
society They were sent over to prevent
dissdvantsgeous marriages, to secure
inheritances to other members Of fam
lily, or to further some criminal scheme.
Many Of these bond servants sold
themselves into servitude, others were
disposed Of through emigration brokers,
and stIll others wore kidnapped, being
