Concerning Widows and their Va-
- rietiea. • ; £ J ri/ f o. I
From lb* Saturday Review.']
There are widows and widows. There are
those who are bereaved, and those who are
released; those who lose their support, and
those whose chains are broken; those who
are sunk in desolation, and those who wake
up into freedom. Of the first we will not
speak. Theirs is a sorrow too sacred to be
publicly handled even with sympathy; but
the second demands nonsuch respectful reti
cence. The widSW who is no sooner released
from one husband than she plots for another,
and the widow who leapB into liberty over
the grave of a gaoler, not a lover, are fair
game enough. They have always been fa
vorite subjects for authors to exercise their
wits on; and while men are what they are—
laughing animals, apt to see the humor lying
in incongruity, and with a spice of the devil
to sharpen that same laughter into satire—
they will remain favorite subjects, tragic as
the state is when widowhood is deeper than
mere outward condition.
There are many varieties of the widow, and
all are not beautiful. For one, there is the
widow Who is bent on remarrying whether
men like it or not—that thing of prey who
goes about the world seeking whom she may
devour; that awful creature who bears down
oa her victims with a vigor in her assaults
that puts to flight the popular fancy about
the weaker sex and the distribution of power.
No hawk poised over a brood of hedge birds,
no shark cruising steadily toward a shoal of
small fry, no piratical craft sailing under a
free flag, and accountable to no lawsave suc
cess, was ever more formidible to the weaker
things pursued than is the hawk widow bent
on remarrying. She knows so much; there
is not a manoeuvre by which victory can be
stolen that she has not mastered; and she is
not afraidot evci. i: n. ..-, <:, s:. i„, ■»
ures. When she has once struck, be would
lie a clever man and a bold one to escape her.
Generally left but meagerly provided for in
worldly goods—else ber game would not be
so difficult—she makes up for her poverty
here by her wealth of bold resource, and by
the courage with which she takes her own for
tunes in band, and, with her own, those of
her more eligible masculine associates.
She is a woman of purpose, and lives for
an end ; and that end is remarriage, with the
most favorable settlement practicable on the
occasion. If fate has dealt hardly by her—
though may be compassionately by her suc
cessive apousea—and hag landed her in’the
widowed state twice or thrice, she is in no
wise daunted, and as little abashed. She
merely refits after a certain time after ancb«
orage, and goes ont into tbo open world again
for a repetition of her chance. She has no
notion of a perpetuity of weeds, and, though
she may have cleared her half centnry with a
.margin besides, she thinks the suggestive
orange blossoms of the bride infinitely more
desirable than the fruitless heliotrope of the
widow. If one husband is taken, she remem
bers the old proverb, and reflects on the many
quite as good, who are potentially left sub
ject to her choice; and, somehow, she mana
ges. It baa been said that any woman can
marry any man if ahe determines to do ao,
and follows on the line of her determination
with tenacity and common sense. The hawk
widow exemplifies the troth of this ssying.
She determines upon marriage and she
usually succeeds; the question being one of
victim only, and not of sacrifice. One ha9 to
fsll to her share; there is no help for it, and
the whole contest is, which shall it bet
which is strongest to break ber bonds t
which craftiest to slip out of them t which
most resolute not to bear them from the first t
Tliis the straggling covey most settle among
themselves the best way they can. When
the hawk pounces down upon its quarry, it
is tuate qui peut! But all canDot pe saved.
One has to be caught, and the choice is de
termined partly by chance and partly by rel
ative strength. When the widow of experi
ence and resolve beam down upon her prey
the result is eqnally certain. Floundering
avails nothing, straggling and splashing are
jnst as futile; one among the crowd has to
come the to slaughter like Mrs. Bond's dneks
and to assist at its own immolation. The
best thing be can do is to make a handsome
surrender, and to let the world ot men and
brothers believe be rather likes bis position
than not.
The widow of tbeWadmankindisno crea
ture of prey, neither shark nor hawk; at the
worst ahe is but a cooing dove, making just
the 9weeteat little noise in the world, the
tenderest little call, to indicate her where-,
abouts, and to show that she is lonely and
feels it. She sits close, waiting to be fonnd
and does not ramp and dash abont like the
hawk sisterhood ; neither does she pretend
that she is unwilling to be found, still less
deny that a soit warm nest, well lined and
snugly sheltered, is better than a lonely
.branch, stretching ont comfortless and bare
into the bleak wide world. She, too, is al
most sure to get what she wants, with the
advantage of being voluntarily chosen and
not unwillingly submitted to. This is the
kind of woman who is always mildly but
thoroughly happy in her married life; unless
indeed her husband should be a brute, which
ITeaven forefend. She lived in peace and
bland contentment while the fales permit,
and when he dies she buries him decently
and lametta him decorously; but she thinks
it folly to spend her life in weeping by the
side ot bis cold grave, when her tears can do
no good to either of them. Rather she
thinks it a proof of ber love for him, and the
evidence of how true was her happiness, that
ahe should elect to give him a successor. Her
blessed experience in the past has made her
trustful in the future; and because she has
found one man faithful she thinks that all
are Abdicls. As a rule, this type of woman
does find men pleasant, aSd by her own
nature insures domestic happiness. She is
always tenderly, and never p:ts.«iouately, in
love, even with the husband she has loved
the best; she gives in to no excesses, to the
right or to the left; her temperament is of
that serene, moonlight kind which does not
fatigue others nor wear out its possessor;
without ambition, or the power to fling her
self into any absorbing occupation, she lives
only to please and be pleased at home; Bnd
if she is not a wife, wearing her light fetters
lovingly, and proud that she is fettered, she
isnothiug. As some women are born moth
ers, and otheraare born nuns, so is the Wad
man woman a born wife, and shines in no
other character Jr capacity. But in this she
excels; and, knowing this, she sticks to her
role, hoyr frequently soever the interlocutor
may bechanged,
liven a bard man is moved at the Sight ot
a pretty yonng widow in the funeral black of
her first grief, sitting apart with a patient
smile, and eyes cast meekly down, as one not
of the world, thou eh in it. Her loss is too
recent to admit of any thought of repara
tion; and yet wfc&t man does not think of
that time of reparation ? and if she is more
than usually charming in person, and well
dowered in purse, what man does not think
of himself as the best repairer she conld take f
Then, as time goes on and she glides graceful
ly into the era ot mitigated grief, how beanti
***** .Themost exquisite colors of the rara-
pantkmd look garish beside her daiutv tiuts
and the uptempered mirth of happy girls, is
coarse beside her faint subdued admission of
moral sunshine. Gray’s as tender as a dove’s
breast; regal purples which have aglow behind
their gloom; stately silks of sombre black soft
ly vailed by clouds of gauzy white—all speak
of passing time, and the gradual bloom
ing of the spring after the sadness of the win-
J®* i all symbolize the flowers which are grow-
ing over on the sod that covers the dear de
parted ; all hint at the melting of the funereal
gloom into a possible bridal. She begins,
too, to take pleasure in the old familiar
things of life. She steals into a quiet back
seat at the opera; she just walks through a
quadrille; she sees no harm in a fete or flower
show, if properly companioned. Winter does
not last forever,*and a lifelong mourning isa
wearisome prospect; so she goes through her
degrees in accurate order, and comes ont at
the end radiant. For when the faint shadows
cast by the era of mitigated grief fade awsy,
she is the widow par excellence—the blooming
widow, young, rich, gay, and ft.ee ; with the
world on her side, her fortune in her band,
and the ball at her foot. She is the freest
woman alive; freer even than any old maid
to be found.
King Cotton.
[From lb* Key* York Tribune.
Hardly a Southern paper reaches ns bnt
has editorial comment of some sort on the
prospective crop of 1869. It is generally
conceded that it will be large if the season
is at all iavorable. Some editors have the
sagacity to see that saying so much about a
great crop this year will have a bad effect on
that part of the crop of 1868 which remains
unsold.
Now, friends at the South, before yqnr
double plows have thrown all the land into
ridges for cotton rows, take time and give
this whole business of agriculture a sober
second thought. You have jnst come out of
a war in which you were worsted. The weak
est thing in the Southern military service
during that war was ita commissariat. A
strictly agricultural people, having as much
pride of seres as any landed aristocracy in
the world, were from the first and in all
stages of a four years’ strife, weakened, ham
pered, thwarted, demoralized and finally de
feated, for want of beef, corn, wheat, hay and
to.
A great war is like a severe illness; it tries
the constitution and nDmsaks the weakness
of the system. The agricnltnral system of the
South has been proved defective, because in a
protracted fight the breach appeared there
first. Now wbat is the great characteristic of
planting ? It is, and from the first has been,
the deriving of a large income in clear money
from a broad surface, by the aale of vegetable
products. A small planter is one whose ac
count sales of cotton or tobacco, rice or su
gar, do not fignre up more than $5000. The
sales of the large planters range all the way
from $5000 to $10,000. A few—a very few.
Southern proprietors received over $100,000
from a single crop. That mode of driving
an income may have been connected with the
character and status of the laborer, but such
connection was not inseparable. A slave
conld cradle wheat or fatten hogs it ordered
to, just as well as he could pick cotton or
sucker tobacco. Slavery bad inherent sins
enongh witbont charging it with blunders
that were not, in the nature of things, insep
arable from unpaid labor. From the time of
Pocahontas the Southern domain was divided
into large estates. Those who surveyed and
□ ted it felt as Brutus did about Caesar's
y:
“ Let us carvo him as a dish fit for gods, not hew
him like a carcass for the hounds.”
These broad areas were cleared and cropped
by sport loving men for whose ears the bay
ing of a pack of fox hounds was sweetest
music. Put a man with these tastes at the
centre of a 1200 acre tract and what will be
do ( He will have as few inside fences as
possible; he will make his money on a crop
that will cost him the least time, or planting,
or worry. He will say, dum v it inn a tivanut
—“after us the deluge.” Talk to him of ro
tation, fertilizers, bone dust, the toot of the
sheep having gold beneath ; he answers you
by a blast on his bunting born. “My niggers
bnow how to make cotton.” These seven
words were the doom of true progressive
agriculture sonth of Mason and Dixon.
Tbe inducements that draw the Southern
agriculturalist toward cotton fields are very
treat. He is in debt. He wants carriage
lorses to replace those which Bragg, or Lee,
or Johnson broke down dragging cannon.
He is living in a cabin, and woold like to do
something with those ghostly and blackened
chimney-stacks. Tbe saws of bis gin-stand
are bent and rnsty. His press is rode and
slow. His males are stiff, and his plows
worn; his tobacco sheds went for camp fires.
We admit'tbat it wonld be a help on your
place if you could sell three hundred bales
next December at two bits a pound. But let
us reason about it. Yon do not propose to
move West You know of no good cotton
or tobacco land that is cheaper than yonr
own plantation. Besides, yon have no mo
ney to go on. If you leave yonr children
anything, it mast be in the acres over which
you walk. If you draiD those acres of tbe last
ton of potash and phosphorus they contain,
you leave to those who come after you a wide
waste of broom sedge and atUDted pines—a
heritage of briers, and gullies, and rotten
fences. No, gentlemen; you will be wiser and
more provident than that. Yon will see that
while there is some money in cotton and tobao
co, there is in it little true wealth or power,
little of that which makes" nations great
and keeps them so. The Sonth has never been
sufficiently devoted to the production of ar
ticles of prime necessity. Mankind would be
better off if frost or storms should destroy
every tobacco plant that sprouts this Spring.
Cotton isa very important textile; but nations
were clad, and well clad, before Eli Whitney
was born. Agriculture means the culture of
the fields, not skimming and desolating them.
Enjoying the best climate and plowing tbe
best soil on the continent, the-Southerner ate
imported bread, drank imported wine, gave
bis hands imported pork, shod them with
imported leather, and bnckled on an import
ed saddle on the back of a horse that had
traveled a thousand mile9 southward to find
a purchaser. When such a people went to
war with States that fed and clothed them,
the result was inevitable. Julius Caesar with
his tenth legion could have delayed that ex
change of notes a tAppomattox Court-House,
but he could not have made it impossible.
In profound peace, with a strong, silent,
viglant man at the wheel, the country is en -
tering upon a decade of material prosperity
and development that will be more amazing
than the magnitude and tbe obstinacy ot the
recent strife. What the South wants above
all other things, is not disfranchisement or
enfranchisement, or a man in the Cabinet,
nor even a high price for good middling, but
an agricultural system that is true,’ just and
lasting. Her landhashad.no Sabbath; there
has been no restoration. The balance be
tween the living and the dead products of
farming was destroyed and must be regained.
No lands that are not often renewed by the
mud cf inundations can sorvive such an ex
haustive succession as the planter has re
quired of his cotton and tobacco fields.
_ A lost fertility must be restored. That
savagery of broom sedge and brier-thickets
must be abolished. Bnt the purchase ot a
few thousand tuns of goano will not woik
the desired change. Those stones on Ashiey
river will not do it. The South thinks she
needs manufactures—and so she does. But
artisans and operatives will not move there
till good food and good cloth are less costly.
jards; till those poor wild cows are replaced
With Durliams, and Herefords, and Akler-
neys; till those razor-backed hogs are killed,
and Snffolks and Chesters take their place;
till they have fatter chickens and more of
them; till potatoes, and cabbages, and apples
are cheaper. Cotton always was a weak
king. He was foil of pride, and vanity, and
weakness. He urged his snbjecta into an un
equal strife, and then showed no influence at
courts to make alliance or secure open porta.
He gave the planter’s family pocket money,
a handsome carriage, and a heritage of bar
ren fields. If ever king at all, be was King
Stork. The Sonth of to-day does not need
cotton factories half so much as she does
manure factories. She thinks the Constito-
tion as it was furnishes a panacea for all woaa;
bnt it is not half so important to ber jnst
now as the herd book.
