In the South, in cluding, of course, the great south west, all of these things arc found. Here is to be had every attraction for the farmer, a good Boil capable j of highest improvement and yield- j ing almost every crop known to j the temperate regions — grain, ] grasses, potatoes and fruits of endless variety, as well as the dis tinctive Southern crops—cotton, corn, rice, sugar and tobacco. A Northern or Western farmer com ing South need never cultivate, unless he so desires, any crops ex cept those with which he is famil- j iarin his own country. If ho I wants to grow cotten and rice he I ° i will find ample room for profit- | able work; if he prefers to stick to grain and grasses, fo fruits or j trucking, he can lind locations having advantages not surpassed by any part of the North or West.

The strength of his attach •ment may ho gauged, says London ‘“Tit-Hits,” by the following !• Her which is indited to her: “My Dear Miss M.: Every time I think of you my heart Hops ■up and down like an excited eel in chestnut horse powdered with gold, and the brass pins skewered through it till me with unbounded awe. Your forehead is smoother than the elbow of an old coat, and your eyes are glorious to behold. In their liquid depths I see legions of Cupids bathing like a cohort of ants in an old Wellington, boot.

With warm-hearted, genuine hospital ity the South welcomes every good honest newcomer. It judges a man by his character and his acts, and if these are right he finds us warm friends as he can find in the world; if they are wrong he had better stay elsewhere. And then from the business side the South offers the most in viting field in the world. In manufactures it has a greater fu ture than any other part of the world, for here nature has con centrated the raw materials for all lines of industry. In foreign commerce the whole trend <*f growth is through Southern ports. With the certainty of a vast in crease in manufactures in com merce, in wealth, there will come a great increase in land values. There will he unlimited fields of employment opening up for the newcomers as well as for the na tive.

'American men, when they get, ti fortnight off, rush into sports that they are not accustomed to. Instead of get ting rested by their days away from business they exhaust their energies in unaccustomed e\' re is os. To be sure, they get bronzed up with the sun, but their physical being is not restored for the work that is ahead of them. What is really needed by them, aooordii: ■; ’•» tire specialists, is ab solute r -t, days of luxurious id ling, of whiling away time some- ienv without too much exertion. iJien i lie entire frame and mind ■t thori v.glily relaxed and -re- fi'i aliened up, tho nerves get w, tonic they have not been ac customed to, and, when the office or the store or the shop is return ed to the man is in far better con dition for the duties he resumes. Get lazy for once in the year, is tin! way one physician puts it. ' i i ve yourself a thorough rest. Find out what it means to stay in bed longer limn you have hereto fore done. Find out how much pleasure there really is in swing ing lisjh -sly in a hammock" in n eooi spot ; in loafing on a piazza, with your fret cocked up on the b; lustrade. Giye yourself an in sight into the washerwoman's heaven, the place where people folds their hands “and just do nothing.” Bo downright indolent, says tho doctors, and you will get v the greatest benefit possible from your vacation. Don’t indulge the idea that if you are not constantly on tho go your days of leisure are misspent and doing you no good. Get a more sonsible view ol tion and what it means.
