rFor The Bunny South.] 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. tions. viz.: Miss Sallie II.

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. [For The Sonny South.] 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. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Mrs. B., Salisbury, N. C.—}’or yourself, an English mohair of some dark shade for travel ing. with a deep apron overskirt and a half 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 back with two bows of ribbon placed half-way between the waist and bottom of overskirt, slightly looping it behind.

THE PAINLES8 TUM Morphine and 9 Laudanum Antidote, 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.
