Isaac’s mother was tho nurse of
my elder brother, between whom
and Isaac, though lifelong by many attach¬ years
his junior, was a
ment.
My earliest recollections of the
boy are connected with a game ho
called “Bull.” This consisted of
his rushing out, upon all fours,
from under a large table, when we
children—my younger brother and
I— would seize his bushy mid hair till,
after much pulling tossing us
about, ho got him self freed. The
game was invented by Isaac him-
self for our special amusement,
and ho seemed to enjoy it as
heartily as we oc.-i.ired <hd. till I
It Mover to me,
was older, how touyli lie must
lmve been where our heads are so
tender. The hair, as I recollect,
never came out, nor did lie evince
any symptom of pain while the
sport was in progress.
Another very vivid experience: impression
remains of his dental

to us cheerfully, “you jes’ ought

to see him pull my teef. Didn’t
you hear me holler? I was settin’

skeered! ‘Br Austin,’ I say, ‘my
teef was hurlin’, but it done got
easy. Please sir, doan pull it. ’
“He tick mo by the shoulder
an’ set me on de stool. ‘Dat out,’ jaw

considerable peril, had recrossed

replied when Miss questioned about it.
“Ho ma, Ma’y, dun mick me

My brother, in course of time,
rose to bo C olonel of the Fifty-
ninth Virginia Regiment, of the
West Brigade and Isaac and the
General—the “Shuppud” as Isaac
called him — soon came to be
friends.
In the summer of ’64 my brother
was wounded and brought from

Petersburg. General Wise falling ill

brother improved, Isaac reluctant-

forever the legal bonds between
master and slave. Isaac, as did
many another, for a time refused
to acknowledge it. “Whither

the cry of his heart, till at my

The subject of servant-girlism is
one which vexes the souls of
our friends, mothers, wives, sisters and

north and south alike. Especially
in the south does it present its
greatest difficulties. The writer
of this comment when a boy ‘‘jess

ONE troubles housekeeper few whose domestic
were and far be-
tween. Her husband and she,
with their little family, resided in
one of those quiet, happy and con-
tented court-house towns in south
^Mississippi, beggar where never was seen
a nor never was heard the
intimation of a “strike” or a
‘ ‘tram p. ” The people who lived in
that lotus land would not have
known what a “strike” meant.
Everybody was happy, black and
white. It was a “peculiar insti¬
tution,” of course, but any gam¬
bler may safely wager that there
was less of unhappiness and more
of meat and bread and other solid
comforts ill that section than can
be found among the other agricul¬
tural populations of the wide
world from Russia to Terra Del
Puego—from “Greenland’s icy
mountains to India’s coral strand.”
The husband of this particular
family was a practicing attorney;
within two miles of the town they
owned and cultivated a plantation
with the regular happy “slave
labor.”

of her surname, was a Napoleon

ordered rules and regulations. She

from the dining room
an immense old-fashioned clock.
There wasn’t a dinner bell on the
premises. When that bell struck
5 a. m., winter or summer, the
family and guests marched into
tlio dining room to breakfast, and
they always found the cooks and
waiters prompt to the moment.
On the stroke of eleven everybody
marched to dinner; the old clock
which stood guard and announced
the hours never varied. Five in
I ho afternoon meant supper, the
last meal of the day. Guests who
came “between meals,” though
they had come a score or more of
miles, always had to wait till the
next meal came ’round. This
model housekeeper would not
allow of variation; as well ask her
to turn back the hands of her
sturdy old clock and stop its ma-
chinery. Under such discipline
the servants found it twice as easy
to do their work, for each moved
in his or her proper orbit and was
never “set back” or “put out” by
running hither and thither at un-
reasonable hours. It was said of
