A MOTHERS INFLUENcE.-It is hard
for young mother who has not yet over.
come the wayward tendencies Of her own
youthful nature, to realize the influence she
exerts over her little ones. She is contin-
ually surrounded by critical imitators, who
copy both her morals and her manners. As
the mother is, so are her sons and daughters.
If a family of children are blessed with an
intelligent mother, who is dainty and refined
in her manners, and does not consider it
necessary to be one woman in the parlor
and an entirely different person in her every
day life, but who is true mother, and
always tender, charming woman, you will
invariably see her habits of speech and
pleasant manners repeated in her children.
Great rough men, aud noisy active boys will
always tone down their voices, and strive
to stay quietly, and to be more mannery,
when she stops to give them kind word
or pleasant smile, for true mother will
never fail to do oil the kind and pleasant
things she can that will in any way help to
lift up and cheer those whose lives are sha-
ded with toll and care. The mother of TO-.
day rules the world Of tomorrow. Think

One very Important lesson that the result
OF tho Var has taught the Southern people
y, that white men are capable of earning
their bread by manual labor in the field as
well as the negro. Numbers Of worthy
young men, reduced to the alternative Of
work or want, have resolutely taken hold
OF the plow or hoo, and have learned what
it is to do days work in all weather with
the best hand in the field. Today many
OF these men are Independent; they have
md to work more, they havc learned
to manage their farms successfully: and
having learned this they are matters Of the

All this was known indeed to many q
white man in the South before Cuffes's
emancipation, for thousands of men of An
Slo Saxon descent were used to daily labor
in the field before the war. And it was
men of this class, who, at Appomattox, lay
ing their weapons to rust on the field of
carnage, returned to their desolatcd homes
and went at once to brighten the plow in
the field of labor, that taught the men of
softer muscle who hesitatcd awhile that
they could work too, if they would but try.
Example is contagious, and the action of
Lees veterans, who returned to their homes
in April '65, and starting de novo, suscoed.
ed in making fair crop, inspired many
an idle young man to attempt the same thing
the following year, and the effort made in
general brought success. Every year, since
then has added more and more to the num-
Der Of Southern farmers who are at the
same time their own overseer and laborer.


Thus it came to be generally known that
the white man ran no extraordinary risk
at labor in the open field at any season any.
where in the Southern country. And
this white labor has been gradually super.

not be surprised if the number of the for.
mer who toll daily on the farm does not ex-
coed the number of the latter. We do not
mean that the white man is generally found

prefer to farm on their own hook, and we
lind them to be the most successful and the
most thrifty Of all farmers.


The success of white labor in the South
will therefore no longer be questionable
one. After thirteen years test the prob
lem is answered in the affirmative, never
more, we trust, to be subject to doubt.

sell at least one half of his land, improve
the remainder to make it more productive,
