fast was prepared and sent to them
Their breakfast consisted of meat,
ordinarily bacon, sometimes beef, hot
coffee and bread. At - o'clock they
all returned TO the house to feed the
mules, eat their midday meal and
rest. The dinner consisted of meat,
vegetables of different kinds and
bread, often fruit pies, especially in
the summer season, and old fashioned
potpies cooked in big oven. Apples
baked with honey was a great dish
for all at our home. After two hours
rest the slaves returned to the field
and remained until the setting sun
warned them of the near approach of
night. The evening meal was gen
orally lighter than the others, milk
taking the place of meat. Many of
of our farmers weighed out the ra-
tiOns weekly to their hands, letting
them prepare their own meals.
whenever one of our slaves was
married a sumptuous supper was al
ways provided for the occasion, and
when the weather was warm and
suitable a table was spread under a
tree in the yard. Otherwise the sup
per was given III the dining room.
and they were allowed full liberty
until supper was over was over. They
were more like children than one
would imagine. They were exempt
from care more, l suppose, than any
people or earth. Their owners pro-
viding for all their wants. they natu-
rally took 10 thought for the morrow
and believe, on the whole. they
were the happiest class of laborers in
the world"
We close these extracts from this
interesting account with one from
after the war Mrs. CLAYTON cared
for many of her old servants like
mother with conscientious religious
effort after emancipation, but We do
not know of any one who has had the
unique distinction of becoming a
STAKEHOLDER again.
"Jack, one of our old servants"
she tells us, "came to me some wears
after his freedom and wanted me to
take one of his children, boy of :
years of age"
The father made a regular trans
fer. Mrs. Clayton took the boy Char.
ley. ''and," she repeats, "he has been
my property ever since; good. obed-
lent and an institution in the family"
They taught him to read, though
the father was opposed to it, because,
as he said, IF he learns to read and
write, he will be in the penltentiary
for some meanness."
The old man evidently believed
that "a little learning is dangerous
thing" The book is a small one. of
200 pages, but it is written from
knowledge, and in sincerity, and,
therefore, gives us a true, valuable
and pleasant picture of the patriar-
chal South just before the Civil War.

The Curse of Folly and Avarice

The poorest use a man can make
of himself in this world is to devote
his whole energies to making mon
ey After it is made there is ap-
pareutly so little time left to enjoy
it so withers every faculty of the
soul which would enable the money
maker to enter into happiness with
his possessions, that even when he
gets ready to quit the grind and
develop in some other direction, he
finds it impossible, and can do
nothing but 90 on heaping up his
wealth that is beyond the possibil-
ity of national use.
1t has been the misfortune of
the men of today to live in a mate
rial age in which money has been
the great pride to contend fer.
Happily there are many indications
that the pendulum is about to
swing in the opposite direction, and
that the things of the flesh and
sense are going to mean less and
the things of the mind and soul to
mean more ere long
Avarice and greed always defeat
and punish themselves. No man
can devote his life to scheming how
to make money without becoming
a money making machine. To
spend a lite time in acquiring the
art in laying up treasures on earth
is to miss an opportunity to devei-
op a noble character. 1t is as if a
man should spend the day in gath
ering pebbles when he might just
as well have picked up diamonds

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

The Nashville American thinks
that the democratic party could
"get together" and win in advocat-
ing the following policy for 1900:
l. The enactment of laws which
will prevent combinations Of CAPT
tai to oppress the people, either in
thelpurchase or sale of commodi-
ties
2. The enactment of a just al d
equitable income tax law
3. The enactment of a tariff for
revenue only.
4. The repeal Of all laws which
result in the creation of trusts.
5. The strict enforcement of aud
the strengthening and extension of
the civil service law.
6. The enactment of laws look
ing to gradual reduction of the
civil war pension list.
4 The enactment of such laws
as will give the greatest measure of
self-government to Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
8. The repeal of all laws which
hamper the growth of the Ameri-
can merchant marine.
9 The reatfirmation of the Chi
cago platform on the question of
government by injunction.
10. Enactment of such legsIa-
tion as will result in the building of
the Nicaragua canal.
1t is all right, save that it leaves
out free silver coinage. Let this
be inserted and we would be salts
fed with it.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.

similar to those existing in New lamp-
shire. They showed that, of the women
of the parish, 25 per cent were regular at
tendants at the services of worship. Six
ty.hve per cent seldom or ever enter the
house of God, and the remaining 10 per
cent appeared there once a month or once
in two months. Then, out of, perhaps,
800 or 400 men in the parish only about
10 or so were regular attendants. The
speaker said he thought that was a better
showing than would be afforded in the
rural districts.
These figures represented in the rough
the experiences of the other denomina-
lions. He failed to see why worship
should be matter only for women. Min
listers had become so accustomed to have
men absent from church as to feel some
times that it had never been intended for
men to worship God at all. One of the
reasons for this state of affairs was, per-
haps, the formation of social organizations
that claim to be more or less religious.
There was also, probably, an abuse of the
privilege of the liberal Christian faith.
The clergyman believed, however, that
the day will come when the criticism of
the governor will no longer be possible,
because there would be a real revival,
which will come, not through fear, but
through a larger knowledge of the great
central truth of religions-that Good is
love"
