The South From a New-England
Stand-Point.
An Appeal to the Toiing Men of the South.
Dear Sunny South:
The time has come 'when the youth of our
States in the land of sunshine and flowers must
arise, shake off their lethargy and to work.
Passion and emotion produce no more effect
upon the stern, austere men who dwell in these
Mew England and Middle States, than summer
zephyrs upon a stone wall. It does no good to
double up the fist and shake defiance in the
faces of these hard-shell Puritans and their
strong neighbors; the only way to penetrate
them is by cool logic and pure reason; by the
strength of power which comes from an intelli
gent tongue and pen. Even then, it will take a
long while to teach them “ to fry a piece of the
dough-nut dough, and see if it is good, before
frying up the whole batch. ”
Hence it behooves our young men to look
calmly about them, mark well their situation,
and think deeply upon their future.
The assertion that the six New England States
control the Republican party is a pretty broad
one; yet a deep thinker, like a miner in under
lying strata, will soon discover whence come the
veins—why it is that always the “ East ” sours
the dough.
Still, truth and justice demand the statement
that noble, high-toned Republicans are to be
found; that honest wishers for peaceful relations
between North and South are to be found even
in New England.
It was our good fortune to attend the Annual
Meeting of the American Institute of Instruc
tion, which held its forty-seventh session at
Plymouth, N. H., beginning July 11th and
closing on the i:!th. During this Convention
many valuable papers were read; among others,
an essay on “Education at the South,” by Hon.
J. W. Bicknell, editor of the New England Journal
of Education.
This distinguished Bostonian had just return
ed from an extensive tour in the South, and
spoke ably and kindly of our down-trodden sec
tion. He said he thanked God that the “ Civil
Rights Bill ” did not pass, for a greater curse
could not have befallen the South. That a
system of “Dual Education ” is positively neces
sary at the South; only an unwise and cruel
principle would dare suggest the education of
white and black children in the same schools.
He insisted that this fanatical idea be abandoned.
Since dual education would require double ex
penditure of lunds, and the people of the South
are very poor, he earnestly entreated those who
could reach the ear of Congress to insist upon
the sale of Public Lands, with the provision
that the proceeds be given to Elocution in the South.
Nor did this gentleman speak in a contempt
uous manner of the scholarship of the South; on
the contrary, he expressed himself thoroughly
astonished at the Southern schools.
Said he:
“New Englanders, you do not know those
people; they are terribly in earnest in this matter,
and I never saw better conducted schools, or
heard finer recitations than in Virginia, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
etc.”
If, then, such men as this can be found even
among the rottenness of republicanism, whj r do
they not centralize, drive out the element which
would elevate ignorance and vice above intelli
gence and virtue, and extend the hand of friend
ship to the South, who acknowledges she has
been conquered in war, and has grounded arms
long ago ? Why do such men permit military
despotism and degrading humiliation within the
borders of a conquered seotion? It does not
become a brave man to place his foot upon the
neck of a prostrate foe, and hold it there !
Leading Republicans in Vermont, in New
Hampshire and from Massachussetts have said to
us,
“What think you of our party down South?”
What answer could we return save this:
“Why did you not send good and honorable
exponents of your party down South ? Then
we should have thought better things.”
Invariably has come the reply:
“ It is too true that fortune hunters and un
principled men have injured our party.”
Of course such replies to a woman can have
no importance in politics, but they do point out
the path way of error. They do say to the world
the virtuous, honorable men among the Repub
licans have been content to sleep, while the
wolves plundered the sheep-fold.
Think you, oh! spirit of justice, that the
great Shepherd will not call these sleepers to
account ? Suppose the oil of kindness had been
poured upon the bruises of the South, would
not her wounds have healed long ago? Who
knows the warm-hearted, impulsive Southerner,
and dares reply, nay !
We are perfectly aware that that remarkable
paper, The Advance, and other like organs, say:
“The South is not sufficiently whipped,” and
that they advise the foo'. be held longer upon
the neck; but we thank God all men have not
advanced beyond the influence of Christ!
“But what will become of the helpless negroes
if left to the mercy of Southern whites ?” said a
poor, ignorant Republican, who supposed the
Southerners were savages.
“Far less trouble and bloodshed would have
happened to them, if Republicans had per
mitted each State to attend to her own legisla
tion,” was the reply.
They little knew the feelings of affection and
respect which would spring up between the
former slave and the old master, if designing
carpet-baggers would not crush them out as
soon as they spring up. «
Fanaticism has hardened the hearts of our
Northern brethren, and made them forget we
are all children of one great Anglo-Saxon mo
ther. Oh! that North, South, East and West
would be truthful and honest towards each other !
But the question of this hour is, dear South
land, suppose the Republican party should
obtain the President in this campaign, do the
words of the Hon. T. W. Bicknell mean that
Congress shall sell the public lands and give the
proceeds to the education of negroes or to gene
ral education in the South ?
If the first is meant, then a calm, firm, honest
State Legislature is the hope of the South; and
Georgia is a living, breathing proof that wise
State legislation has nothing to fear from the
general government. If the latter, why should
we fear so terribly Republican rule ?
If Republicanism means to arouse herself and
shake off her filthy robes, which hang in rotten
rags about her, from the wear and tear of the
past fifteen years; if she intends to dress her
self in the garments of righteousness and truth,
and take the reins of reform in hand, then there
need be no more sighs and tears, for party will
lose itself in principle!
But if Republicans’ cries for reform which are
re-echoing all over this North-land, are merely
party-sham, then give them the rope a little
longer, and Republicanism will hang herself!
Could Southerners see the hard-worked, over
worked classes in these New England States,
paying for hired help at the rate of $4 to plough
J of an acre, and $20 per month to mow grass
and milk cows, they would say to our young
men,
“You must deal kindly by the negroes, even
when freedom makes them insolent.”
If the young men of the South would cast a
. glance to the Western shores and see the horrors
a iang9- j Q ^ n Chinaman; then to the East and Middle
Jtates and see the power of the Irish, French and
into her eal j erman emigrants of the lower classes, policy
would teach them patience and long-suffering.
It is to the interest of the South to keep a
people whose God is their God, who have dwelt
for years among them in friendly relations, and
whose dispositions are kind and affectionate;
and to have them dwell quietly, safely and hap
pily within her borders.
The young men of the South need have no
fears of the future, if true to themselves; supe
rior intelligence will control, as certainly as the
light of the sun is stronger than the light of the
moon.
But, that a great change must come into the
policy, manners and customs of the South, is so
evident, it requires no proof. The danger is, so
benumbing and paralyzing have been the effects
of the late war, our young men may remain inac
tive until the subtile, elder brother steals the
birth-right. How great a responsibility rests
upon the gray-haired wisdom of the South ! Let
us pray God that He will show it to them. It is
an unwise and dangerous policy which would
stir up anger, passion and resentment in the
present. A wiser teaching would say, dignity,
truth, virtue and patience can control the future.
Let each Southern State, and especially grand
old Georgia, see to it, that the very best men are
sent to the Legislatures, and the very best shall
get the offices in county and city, in town and
village. Let the term very best mean free from
vice, love of money and liquor. Then shall
dignity, principle, right legislation, peace and
plenty return to our land. Let the youth study
deeply, largely, widely, and store their minds
with practical knowledge, learning at the same
time physical control, calmness, firmness and
patience.
Also, give to the colored men a broad, free
education, teach them to love their South-land
best; and let them not feel that, because the
Northerner broke the chain of slavery, as a
stroke of policy, he is therefore a better friend.
Will the South stand by and see the North utilize
the vote and labor power of her territory, then
further on, gobble up her forests and lands?
Will she be so stupid as not to see how to avoid
these things by calm, thoughtful maneuvring in
the now?
Oh! let not the words “Republican” and
“Democrat” rend in pieces the possible glory
of the future. Think of the South with smoking
manufactories along her rivers and in her cities;
think of her upturned minerals, whose wealth
has never been considered until the past few
years; think of the mighty power which lies
concealed in her forests; think of the possibility
of developing these vast resources within our
selves, if our young men will only throw off
that false pride which sends them all into the
professions, seize the axe, spade, plow, plane,
engine, etc., and say,
“By the help of the Lord, we will not sell our
birth-right.”
Think of the vast expenditure which might
return into home coffers, if the mothers, wives,
sisters would throw off false pride, and say,
“We will see to our kitchens, wear old dres
ses, and work!”
[For The Sunny South.]
Fashion Notes for September.
Just now there is a fall in the grand march of
fashion—a profound quiet—born of empty mer
chants’ shelves on the one hand, and empty
pockets on the other. And just here let me say
to our Southern girls that they can, on small
means, dress handsomely as well as not. It can
be managed, I do assure you, by having only a
limited amount of clothiug, but have that of the
best material and made up in the best style. In
this particular we can copy from the French with
great advantage in taste and economy.
JEWELRY.
As a rule, there is much less worn now than
formerly, but of greatly superior quality. The
necktie has almost entirely superceded the
brooch for morning toilettes—ear-rings, how
ever, are still allowed. For elaborate waar, we
still have necklaces, fitting loosely around the
neck and terminating with a drop from which
the pendant is hung. A very popular pattern
is of broad, oblong links, set upright, and joined
by a small blossom or knob of polished gold.
The gold beads revived several years ago are
still in vogue, being made of plain Etuscan, in
stead of red gold as formerly. Silver necklaces
are in high favor, and for pendants there are
lockets and crosses in silver filagree to corre
spond. A black throat-latch, with figures in sil
ver arabesque, is a handsome finish to any cos
tume.
BRACELETS.
Among the most favored ornaments for the
arm, are the porte bonheur bracelet in silver and
gold—very narrow bands finished with knobs or
drops. It is admissableto wear a variety of several
styles at one time. Another, which disputes
favor with the first-named, is termed bangles,
and are both plain and chased—consisting of
many narrow bands pinned together with open
ings between. They are very appropriately used
as gage d'amour, the number of bands indicating
some significant motto or the number of letters
composing the name of the fiancee.
• CONCH-SHELL JEWELRY.
This style of jewelry is highly favored by very
young ladies, and is peculiarly applicable to
fresh, pearly complexions. It has the lovely tint
of blush-roses, and is carved in pleasing imita
tions of flowers and bixds. A full set in
cludes ear-rings, throat-latch, pendant, bracelet
back for the comb. Coral, fashioned in the same
designs as the conch-shell, and in the round and
oval knobs with which we are familiar, is still
much esteemed.
RINGS
are worn indiscriminately on both hands, and
almost on every finger—according to taste of
xvearer. Engagement rings are set with diamonds,
sapphires or rubies—both of the last-named be
ing usually arranged with or surrounded by dia
monds; if diamonds alone are used, it is usually
solitaire.
twelve dollars per week. They will forward cir
cular on application with stamp.
Mollie.—Spanish lace is not suitable for over
skirt and jacket, being only black silk tulle
with embroidered flowers. It is two dollars per
yard. You probably mean Brussels or Guipere,
which is three dollars per yard and extensively
used for the purpose you wish. The width is
three-quarters of a yard.
RIPPLES.
An Illinois grocer says that he would rather
have the power to tell a good egg from a bad
one than to be President of the United States.
A Chicago youth went back on his engagement
because he overheard his sweetheart say that
she had been folded in the arms of Morpheus.
They’re not very classic out there, but they’re
virtuous.
The Georgia negro has no more faith in banks.
He lays his money out in store-clothes and hair
oil, and the news of a bank suspension causes
him to exclaim: “Bust away wid you, but you
can’t hurt dese lavendar pants !”
A man canvassing for the Greeley Monument
Fund was seriously stabbed by a stranger from
the Black Hills, whom he asked to subscribe.
The latter observed that Greeley was the chap
who said “Go West, young man.”
A PRETTY SIMILE.
Pleasures are few, and fewer we enjoy;
Pleasure, like quicksilver, is bright and coy;
We strive to grasp it with our utmost skill;
Still it eludes us, and it glitters still.
If seized at last, compute your mighty gains —
What is it but rank poison in your veins ?
Of late the song-and-dance men of the variety
shows have introduced somersaults and other
acrobatic feats into their performances. Harry
Senate lost his life in trying to qualify himself
for this new phase of the business. He was
practicing a somersault at Los Angelos, Cal.,
when he fell on his head and broke his neck.
A Chicago firm, dealing in gamblers’ imple
ments for cheating, advertises to send free a
complete list of country fairs to be held next
fall. Thus swindlers may lay out a business
tour satisfactorily. Gambling seems, to judge
by the following extract from the firm’s circular,
to have suffered from the general depression in
business: “ We take pleasure in sending you our
revised price-list, in which you will find that
we have reduced prices to conform to the times.
Owing to the continued shrinkage in commer
cial values and the decreased cost of labor and
material, we offer you a complete list of first-
class goods at prices lower than have ever before
been offered by any house in the trade. Having
a large factory, with steam power and all the
latest improved machinery, we are able, with
our increased facilities, to fill all orders quickly
and in a satisfactory manner, and stand to-day
the leaders in our branch of industry in the
United States, if not in the world.” The cata
logue includes marked cards, loaded dice and
many other devices for cheating.

Mighty lessons of economy in small things we
could learn from the thrift of New England if
we would, and learn them without the aid of
that class who say,
“ We are going down South to teach the half-
civilized Southerners.”
Would it not be a wiser policy to think less of
politics as a whole, and more of State improve
ments? Wiser to bring out and improve that
which we have, than to sigh, groan and fight for
that which we have not? Wiser to take the lead
in the fields, in the shops and kitchens, and
thus induce the negroes to follow, than to set on
street corners and around liquor-shops, bemoan
ing the past aud trying to drown thoughts of the
future?
Oh ! that Southerners would arouse t# self-
improvement; that each man would say,
“ My house shall be nicer, my garden better,
my farm more productive than my neighbor’s;
not because of myself, but lor the general good
of my State and country:” would say: “I will
be a good, true man, that I may honor and glori
fy God, and be a blessing to my race.”
How soon the whole would become beautiful,
if the individuals would become pure!
But while we advance in political economy,
we must not forget that higher order of develop
ment—education. Our teachers South must
awake to a deeper sense of their responsibilities;
for upon them, as truly as upon the ministry,
rests the moral improvement of the South.
They must not teach simply for the sake of
making money; while we admit a teacher de
serves good pay, still we affirm an honest teacher
does not teach for that alone. To elevate the
mind, enlarge the understanding and establish
correct principles, is the leading aim of every
true teacher. And our boards of trust should see
to it, that more is taught, and deeper work un
dertaken than simple memorizing and recita
tions from text-books. Nor should the work of
culture be confined to the school-room: there is a
duty resting upon the best educated in every
city, town, village and country neighborhood.
It is the duty of these persons to establish read
ing-clubs, reform-clubs, etc., to bring together
for the purpose of culture, all men, everywhere.
No one has the right to eat, sleep and be idle
at the expense of the soul and mind ! Nor has
any one the right to make money at the expense
of the soul and mind. While every one is free
to get rich honestly, every one is under solemn
command to enlighten his mind and cultivate
his soul!
Henceforth, oh! youth of the South, let us
think of nobler things than eating, sleeping and
money-getting. Let us dig out these roots of
evil, and plant the beautiful tree of wisdom and
heavenly-minded virtues. Let us wisely, faith
fully and quicky improve the now, dear South
land, and God will see to it, that the harvest is
glorious in the future. Wandekee.
Essex, Vermont, August, ith, 1870.

COQUETTES FROM THE CRADLE.
BY GEORGE HILLYER.
I verily believe that coquettes, like poets, are
born, not made. This conclusion has come to
me since watching the wiles of a little fairy
w’hose three summers do not debar her from be
ing a flirt of the first water; noting the little
fascinating ways she puts on to gain her point,
the arch glances, the little bead perched to
one side, the red lips, put up, now in a smile,
now in a pout, the winning tones and playful
coaxing, caresses which are her weapons of per
suasion and fascination. When these have ac
complished their purpose, the little dirt dances
off as wayward and tantalizing as a fire-fly, or
tosses her golden head in disdainful contempt.
No belle of three Saratoga seasons understands
the fascinating, teasing, charmingly-naughty
science of flirting better than this little mite of
pink and white prettiness, with a month a bee
would mistake for a rose-bud, and a wealth of
moonlight-colored hair that the wind tosses
into a myriad of flossy curls. So I have come
to the conclusion from observations on my little
friend, blue-eyed Ada B., that coquetry is born
in the blood and bone, and therefore girls who
flirt mast not be too harshly criticised by
lookers-on at the game. Indeed, coquetry is
often a woman’s self-defense, and as masculine
hearts are shallow and “ deceitful above all
things," I don’t think being flirted with does
them any permanent harm. They need having
the starch taken oat of their vanity sometimes,
anyway.
The fresh Vassar College girl is taught to pencil
her eyebrows long before she learns to dot her “i’s.”
COMBS AND CHATELAINES.
“ French ” shell combs are not as expensive as
English, and are in much handsomer designs,
being copied from rich specimens in precious
metals. There are also elegant “Jeanne d’Arc”
belts in shell, combining belt and chatelaine for
the fan.
HATS.
The latest is the small, round turban, fitting
closely to the head and trimmed with velvet and
a single bird’s wing in graduating shades of one
color. The “ Gainsborough ” is a high-crowned
hat with ample brim, turned up on the left side
and down on the right, and is richly trimmed
with feathers and silk.
DRESS-GOODS.
The latest is shepherd’s plaid. It is in black
and white, and comes from small checks up to
x’ery broad plaids. Suits made of this material
are trimmed principally with bows of cardinal
red ribbon—except for traveling, when black is
substituted for looping. Black dresses of what
ever material are nearly all profusely decorated,
with bows or cardinal red. The dark, hand
some shades still bravely hold their own, and
we see many handsome shades in myrtle and
bottle green, plum and navy blue.
CARPETS.
Light carpets are commended^ for drawing
rooms, parlors and guest chambers, while darker
grounds are preferred for sitting-rooms, libraries
and halls. Borders are provided for all carpets,
from ingrain up to the finest velvet. The bor
ders come separate, and are half the usual car
pet width. Thus a carpet of soft gray or cream-
colored ground would have a bright Persian bor
der of maroon, strewn with oak leaves and
banded with blue or scarlet. There is also a
fancy again for crimson-shaded carpets, with a
border of flowers and vines. Stair carpets have
the dark, mingled colors of Persian, Turkish
and Indian carpets with a striped border. Stair
rods come in gilt, nickle and bronze, and also
in the new braided rods that have wool braid
wrapping and concealing the metal; this braid
is in contraist to the color of the stair carpet.
When the carpet is wide enough to cover the en
tire stairway, rods are dispensed with and an
ornamental button is used on either side of the
step. Quilted cotton and paper linings are used
beneath carpets to soften them, and also to keep
out moths. Oil-cloths copy Mosaic patterns, and
also represent illuminated tiles.
BED-ROOM SETS.
In furniture, walnut and ash are the most used
for medium and low-priced furnitnre. Ebony,
mahogany and gilded woods are shown in the
richest patterns. Bedsteads are low, with
straight, square-cornered head-boards, orna
mented across the top in English Gothic fashion,
but not down the sides. Among odd pieces, so
pretty for summer-houses in the country, or for
sitting-rooms and chambers in the city, are the
cord-seat chairs, with frames of light-colored
woods in quaint shapes, while the backs and
seats are of cords, crimson, blue or black,
crossed and lapped in bars. Shaker chairs, for
the piazza or house, have braided backs of scar
let and black. The light bent-wood chairs give
variety to the furniture of a room. The frames
are very fanciful and slender, yet strong and
elastic because made of a single piece of wood
and then bent into the required shape.

fitting bask cut deep in front and short in the
back; overskirt and bask finished with woolen
fringe headed with several roivs of braid. You
will of course need a black silk or cashmere,
and perhaps one other dark dress if you stay
long. For both young ladies there is nothing
more suitable than the shepherd’s plaid of black
and white, which is entirely new also. For the
elder, a dress with one deep flounce and deep
overskirt, cut square and cangbt together in the

Morphine and

oP
Discovered and manufactured by W. T.
Park. M. I>.. of Atlanta. Georgia, is an es
tablished success, and is taking the lead of all other anti
dotes. The great demand for it in the last twelve months
without much advertising, and its efficiency- as testified
to by hundreds of patients in all sections ot the Union,
verify the statement. Dr. Park has not ontv ferreted out
the contents, combinations and effects of ahe Collins'
Opium Antidote, but has by his own knowledge, skill and
experience, discovered and produced a permanent cure for
the opium habit and its causes, superior to any other be
fore the public, and Ills prices per month average fully as
low as tlie late published redneed rates of S. B. Collins.
Dr. Park is now, and has been for twenty-five years, in
daily contact with afflictions of all kinds, successfully treat
ing the worst forms of chronic diseases in both sexes, in
cluding tlie diseases of body and mind which cause'the
opium habit, and it is evident that he has no equal in the
field in removing the causes and adapting an antidote to
the varied and complicated cases, and thereby making a
permanent cure.
