The New South.

The tide Of immigration in the Unit
ed States has always been westward;
consequently the northern states have
been settled by northern men and
northern methods prevail The south
was settled by Southerners. Before
the war the aristocracy depends on
slave labor; they consider it a dis
grace to do manual labor. The ne
groes considered it very silly to do
any more than they were obliged to.
The poor whites were born tired and
never recovered. After the war the
aristocracy went to pieces. The ne
groes wouldn't work except when
hungry. The poor whites did not
change, and we have an immense
country south Of the Ohio river with
great natural advantages waiting for
active, energetic men to make it the
finest country in the world.
From Cairo south to New Orleans
on the line of the Illinois Central K.
r., l don't believe there is an acre OF
ground too steep to pillow; IN fact
there. is not hill in sight of the road.
The land is for sale from $3.50 for
tim Der land to $4,000 for land under
cultivation. A men can select his
climate from three months winter to
no winter. He can raise corn, cotton,
wheat. oats, cattle. horses, mules,
hogs and any kinds of fruit or vege-
tables; get into any kind of manufact-
uring, especially factories using oak,
hickory, pine, ETC.. all of which grow
in great abundance right along the
railroad. South of Grenada stock
will live the year around on pasture;
stock will fatten readily on cotton
seed meal. All kinds of fruit and
vegetables command fancy price in
the northern cities. In short, there
is probably no part of the United
States where man can do better than
in Tennessee or Mississippi. The Won
der is that northern people have not
gone there instead of the blizzard
stricken west.
The people look stout and healthy,
and as they can live almost without
work they are not as rule energetic.
The houses are small, implanted; barns
almost unknown.
You can't see straight corn or cot
ton row once in hundred miles.
One mule. single shovel pillow and a
donkey is the usual farm outfit.
didn't see a riding pillow, cultivator,
disc harrow or seeder south of Cairo.
They pillow about two inches deep, cut
and cover, then lay off by guess and.
by gosh, plant the crops and go fish
ing
If few families would decide what
kind of climate they would like and
what kind of farming they would
fancy. take portable saw mill and a
lathe to turn out spokes, neck-yokes.
ETC., and well drill, 60 south of
Memphis, buy a tract of wild land
and go to work. They would all be
rich in ten years. 1t would beat
Klondike for comfort and probably
equal it for wealth ID. H.

men asked for in each town, as more
than the required number have al
ready handed in their names. OF
course the examination vii, be rigid
and many who banker for scenes of
carnage will be elected to stay at
home.
Captain Burns will be in Lancaster
Thursday morning. He is making ar

ed in their respective towns. Elk
aiming surgeons are expected to do
their work on Friday and the re-
cruits will concentrate in Lancaster

Now it happened that about a month
after this famous controversy, the
curate went to ST. Colam to spend
quiet Sunday with his friends His
winter work had tired him out. and,
brave as he was, he was beginning to
doubt if he could live through another
winter.
It was day of ethereal brightness,
with suave and sparkling air, and in
the afternoon he was tempted to walk
along the cliffs toward little desert
ed church that stood on the cliffs edge
about midway between. St. Colam and
Barford.
1t was 20 years or more since it had
been used. Its graveyard hung for
lornly over the sea on gentle slope,
and quiet sheep We're feeding on the
grassy barrows of the dead. Recktt
came softly over the crisp turf, and
was about to pass round the chancel
to the little graveyard, when he was
arrested by the sound of voice. 1t
was speaking in low monotone. Pres
emily 1t rose into clear, mournful
cadence, and his ear recognized the
sublime phrases of the burial service:
Thou knowest. Lord, the secrets Of our
hearts; shut not Thy merciful ears to our
prayer; but spare US, Lord most holy, o
God most mighty. o holy and merciful
Saviour. Thou most worthy Judge eternal,
suffer us not at our last hour for any pains
of death to fall from Thee"
There was long pause, and sky
lark could be heard singing over the
sea. Then the voice began again:
"Forasmuch as 1t hath pleased Almighty
God of His great mercy to take unto Him
self the soul of our dead sister here de-
parted"
mo, no. Oh, my God, 1 can't say
that" the voice broke forth in sudden
agony. "Oh, 'Lizabeth, why did you
leave me?
The curate knew not what TO do. At
first he had been ready to suppose that
an interment was going on, but that
thrilling cry: "Oh, 'Lizabeth," re-
vealed not the solemn priest, but the
human mourner.
He stepped softly out Of the shadow
of the chancel, and looked over the
hudtbled stones. A man was llneehng
beside one of them which looked more
cared for than the rest. 1t was Grad
dock. In the same instant the two
men recognized one another. The
curate was about to turn away, when
Craddock beckoned him.
Look" said Craddock grimly.
The stone had been freshly scraped
and lettered. It bore no memorial
verse-two names only and date:

A SOLDIER.

Out of the virile north
The hale young hero came,
Dreaming. as he went forth,
The star-briaht dream of fame,
He dinned no Wanting cries
To plague the spacious air,
But who looked In his eyes
Knew fear was stranger there.
He nursed no callous hate,
But in his open breast
wondrous pity safe
For them that are oppressed.
To lift them from the mire
OF tyranny and shame.
This was his high desire,
His star-bright dream of fame;
To strike one sure blow home,
And then, If need be, pass
Back to the mother-loam,
The sweet, Unfolding grass.
The long, clear bugle shrilled
Across the fervit heat;
All. how his brave soul filled
And how his blithe heart beatl
Up, UP the tangled slope,
Where stabbed the cactus thorn,
He pressed with comrade hope
That cloudless Cuban morn.
He struck the one sure blow,
He won the guarded steep.
Ere 1t was his to know
The quiet house of sleep.
And those that gazed upon
His form, and named his name,
Saw on his face still shone
The star-bright dream of fame.
