DON’T DEPEND UPON THE NORTH.
A Mississippi paper, the Natchez
Democrat, publishes the following
to show how dependent Southern
farmers, who cultivate only cotton,
are upon the mechanics, manufac¬
turers and farmers of the North.—
The object of the publication is to
lead Southern farmers to depend
more upon the resources of their own
farms and mechanics aud factories:
“Hallow, stranger, you seem to be
going to market?”
“Yes, sir, I am.”
* “What are you carrying that plow
along for?”
•‘Going to send it to Pittsburg.”
“To Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania?”
“You’re mighty right, I am.”
“What arc you going to send it
there for?”
“Tc get sharpened.”
“All the way to Pittsburg to get
sharpened?”
• “You bet! We’ve starved our
blacksmith out. He pulled up stakes
the, other day and went to Texas.”
“Well, that’s rather a novel idea,
my friend—sending a plow so far to
get sharpened.” .
“Not so novel as you heard it was.
We do our milling in St. Louis.”
“Is that so?”
“You’re right,,it is. We used to
have a mill at Punkinvillc creek, but
the owner got too poor to keep it up,
and so we turned to getting our
grinding done at St. Louis.”
“You don’t mean to say you smd
your grist all the way to St. Louis
by rail?”
“I didn’t say nothing about grist
—we han’t got no grist to send. Hut
we get our flour and meal in St.
Louis.”
“I §ce you have a hide ,in. your
wagqn ”
“Yes; our old cow died Jast. week.
March winds Flowed the lifp.opt’n
hei\ Sending hide to Boston to get
it tanned ” .
“All the way to Boston? Is not
that rather expensive, my friend?-—
The freights,will eat the hijie up.”.,
That’s, a fact—cleaner than tlie
buzzards did the old < ritter’s carcass.
Rut what’s the use bein’ taxed to
hmld railroads ’tliout you get the
good of ’em? Used to have .a tan
yard over at Lickskillct, and a shoe¬
maker, -too. But they’re keiflum
muxod.” • • .
“Kerfluminuxcd—what’s, that?”
“It meaqs gone u]> a spout—and
twixt you and me, that’s niightynigh
tl>e case with our State.”
“ When do you expect to got your
leather?”'
“Don’t- expeet to get no leather al
all—expect to get shoes, some day,
made at Boston or. thereabouts,”
„ • Rather a misfortune to lose a milk
cow, my friend.” :. • ’ '
“Not so much of a misfortune as
you hoard it was. Monstrous sight
of shuckin’ and nubbin’ in a cow,
and milkin’ her night and mornin’
and get-tin’ only about three quarts
a day!”
“ v/hat are you going . to do for
milk?’!
. “Send North for-it.”
“Send North for milk?” # - * 1
“Yes; concentrated milk and Go¬
shen blitter.”
• “Oh! I see the point.”
“Mighty handy things, the rail’
roads—make them Yankee fellers do
all our jobs for us, now—do our
smithin’, and grindin’, and tannin’,
and milkin’, and churniu’.”
“Yes, wc go our bottom niokel’on
cotton, Sendin’ it up to Massachus¬
etts to get it carded, spun and wove.
Time’ll come when we’ll send it there
to he ginned, then we’ll be happy.
Monstrous sight of trouble running
these gins.”
“That would be rather, expensive
sending "cotton in seed.”
“No more so than them Western
fellers pays when they send corn East
and get a dollar a bushel and pay G
bits lreight. Besides, as I said, what
is the use of paying for railroads
’tliout we use the road?”
“You seem to appreciate the value
of railroads?”
“I think we ought—we pay onuff
for ’owl”
Terms—$'l.00 per annum
“I reckon you fatten your own
pork?”
“Well, you reckon wrong, stran¬
ger. I get them Illinoy fellers to do
that for me. It’s mighty conveni
lent, too; monstrous sight of trouble
toting a big basketful of corn three
times a day to hogs in a pen, espe¬
cially when you hain't got none to
tete it to.”
“I should think so.”
“There’s one thing lacking, tho’,
to make the business complete.”
“What’s that?”
They ought to send them hogs
ready cooked. Cookin’, ane^j/repar'
ing wood for cookin’ takes up aheap
of time that ort by rights to be cm
ployed in the cotton patch. I was
sayin’ to my old woman, the other
day, if we Mississippi folks got our
cookin’ and wasliin’ done up North
and sent by express, we’d be as hap¬
py as officeholders.”
“Your horse in the lead there
seems to be lame.”
“Yes, needs shooin’. If he wasn’t
the only horse I’ve got, and can’t
spare him, I’d send him up where
they make the horse shoes and nails
and get him shod. Can’t get such a
thing done in our parts. Perhaps I
can at the depot.”
“IIow do you manage to live in
your parts, my friend?”
“Why, we raise cotton. My road
turns off here, stranger. Gee, Hall
ingjaok Brandy! I’m glad Iseed you
stranger.”
Treatment of a "Shying Horse
. Live Stork Journal.
Why does a. hoy so. qliy? Because
he sees something which he dogs not
understand, and is filled with a great¬
er or less degree of fear, something
as the.boy feels when he sliys at the
burying-ground. and goes around to
keep clear of it.. It may he souk; new
or. unusual object that the horse,s.ces,
or jt s may bean imperfectview^of it.
Even a familiar object, if it conies
to.view suddenly and unexpectedly
will cause a horse to shy or jump,
just as an unexpected object or sound
causes -a nervous person to start.
Wiiqn a person is so startled, how
much would it improve the matter
r-clodod at or given a cut with
a whjp?. Just as much 1 as the same
treatment would in the case of the
hortie., Harshness only aggravates
^
the matter. The more the horse is
scolded and. iv-hippod . the; rjiqre nerv¬
ous begets,,and every-tiine he. pass

whippiyg occurred- -lie will begin to
prifk up liis-cars,;;apd fidgel, ready
for another jump. Give him the lines
and lie wiil go by ,in a, hurry. The
proper way is never to strike or,scold
a horse-that i,s started, Qr Lightened
Speak to him coolly, cqlmly, and
kindly; give.him time to see and col¬
lect *his. scattered senses, and make
him. ft-cl -thatyou ;p,re his fyic.nd and
pfotectqe. When he seys tliai all is
(•ight, there.is an end bo all further
trouble. We have ^een a,horse refuse
to,cros$ rnt qnspfg-lookjng bridge,
but when the drivertopk him by the
bits,ajnd, walked- ahead,, the-.horse

cross the bridgy. He might liaye
been whipped into it at-,first, but was
not the, mjlder- cour-ee, although a

horse showed, his confidence in tire

They went to the Wedding
A young- professor in on Illinois
university was engaged to be mar¬
ried to the daughter of a wealthy
farmer living in one of the eastern
counties of that State. On the day
of the wedding the bridegroom was
driven ill a buggy through a country
road in the direction of his prospec¬
tive father-in-law’s house. Not be¬
ing familiar with the neighborhood
he stopped in front of a dilapidated
log cabin and inquired of a lank man
who, was leaning against a rail fence:
“Is this the way to Mr. Fodder’s?”
“Yes. That’s where the doin’s is
to-night; his darter’s goin’ to he
hitched.” ■
“Yes.”
“>Vho’s she goin’ to git?”
“A man named Tomkins,” said tho
blushing bridegroom.
“Is he any good?”
“Pretty good stick, I’ve been told.’
“Has be got any style?”
“Not much.”
“Well,” said the old man, with a
sigh of relief, “I’m glad lie’s such a
poor shoat, for my gals has got an
invite to the wedditi’, an’ I heard no¬
body could go that couldn’t eat with
.forks, hut I reckon I’ll let cm go.—
Fodder’s two miles straight ahead.”

Following is an extract from a let¬
ter written from one of the lower
counties in this state by a gentleman
who stopped there recently: “I have
l ad the yellow fever ev< r since I saw
you last, and have taken quinine un¬
til I am as deaf as a post. 1 stopped
at cue place recently wlr.rc I had to
sleep in a room swarming with bed
bugs, a:-d during the night a mad
dog jumped in the window and near¬
ly devojired me. 1 fired two shots at
linn, and on hearing the noise tho
old man jumped up and shouted to
his wife: ‘Betsy! git the children out
'’quick! Here’s another earthquake
conic to swallow us up!’ * * It was
a log hut, Sx 10, and for breakfast
we had roast coon ai d sweet pota¬
toes. I told them they lived better
than any people in Georgia; and the
old man said, ‘Yes, pertaters is very
fillin’!’ There were nine children in
the family: one was down with tho
lockjaw and five had the seven years
itch.”
