I pnt my boots joat whore it salts, Axul ilnil them whoro I put them too» That is a thing, yon must allow, A chap can very seldom do. I leave my papers on my de3k; She never dusts them in a heap, Or takes to light the kitchen stove The vory one I wont to keep. On winter nights my cow dame Will warm her toes before the fire; She never scolds abont the lamp, Or wants tho wick a triflo higher. On Sandays she is not so fine Bat what her raffles I can hag; I light my pipe just where I please And spill tho ashes on the rug. The bed is never filled with “shams,” A thing some women vilely plan To worry servants hart to death, And spoil the temper of a man.

I went and returned through Virginia and the Carolines, keeping pretty close to the seaboard; that is, I look the most direct route to Florida, and though I did not re turn by exactly the same route, I did not icava the seaboard States at all. There are several obvious rea sons why the old South should not be, comparatively speaking, as progressive as the southwest. In the first place, it is more thickly settled; the opportunities for immigrants arc not so great a3 they are in a vast and new region—for example, like Texas; the cost of keeping up the fertility of long worked lands is much greater than that cf reclaiming virgin soil. Railroad travelers, too, pass necessarily through a great extent of territory which is low, marshy aud unattractive, aud the railroad facilities are not so good as they are in the southwest. But i( you take into consider ation the long-established ideas and old habits of the people, their forward move ment is obvious and remarkable. The old South seems lo me to be actually ‘luril ing its face towards the rising sun,’ uot in any political sense, but in its new and vis ible appreciation of Industry, economy and enterprise.
