The old order changeth. The New
South crowds the Old into the paget
of history. The picturesque give!
way to the practical. The Don QuiX'
ote of the fine old plantation, with!
his blooded horses, his fox hounds
his body servants, his gallantry, and
all that, is now a memory. The
"great house." or the "mansion" set
on the hill, and the row of cabins
forming an arc behind it, is a thing
that was. but now is not. The splenidd
dances, witht the charmingly
modest ladies in hoop skirts and
frills, and the men bravely dressed
in ruffles and tine cloth, are preserv
-d in fiction aiul in history. Commercialism,
spreading democracy. Mooverthrow
of slavery, the breaking
tip of tlu old quasi-feudal system has
destroy* 1 the Old South.
The lapse of years adds, perhaps,
to apparent cliarm of those torm?r
days. We read of the grinning darkies
gathering about the porch where
the master was, or the old mammies
courtseving, and the old "uncles''
doffing their ragged hats and smiling
with real <ov at the approacn of
the "white folk3." Ah, the picturesare
pretty. The glamour of that life,
tho ..r . .... ?

to us, forms a picturesque chapter
iu the annals of American htstory.
The economist tells us that it is
well for the nation that the Old South
is dead, and we know that he speaks
the truth. No doubt there is more
industrial unrest now, but this is because
there is more democracy, and
because the democracy has not yet
come into its own. But let us, for
the present, pass by the economic
phases, and consider only the romanticism
of the days pone by?those ante-bellum
days of lords and ladies
Ray.
One who looks about him now, is
prone to conclude that the picturesque
features af life are passing away.

I An Orchard for
The South as a whole does not
raise enoiiRht fruit. Especially <s
this true in the Cotton lielt. where
really Rood home orchards are all
too rare. The trouble has been that
we have not fully appreciated the
value and importance of fruit as a
part of our diet, and how it saves us
Rroeerj and doctor's bills; nor, even
where the need for plenty of wholesome
fruit lias been understood, have1
we Riven our orchards the careful attention

Some care is necessary in getting and

is to understand what is really neees-1

here it is well to summarize the
things vitally important in making
the home orchard a success.

The love of mnnej can hardly be
thi root ?if all evil, for it is only one
perverse passion out of many. Hut
there is a kind of decorum about
tin a > which makes the love of it jec
dangerous, since it conceals
ft0111 the lover the nature and effects
o! his passion. If a man wants too
much food, he is evidently greedy.
Ji a woman wants too many clothes
she is evidently vain. But money is
not a tiling, like clothes or food, that
can be enjoyed by itself. I? is only
a means of getting things that can
be enjoyed, and so greed for money
is not a direct greed, but indirect, it
is a civilized means of conducting the
struggle for life, which to a great extent
conceals from those who use it
the ugliness and the animal nature of
that struggle. It is, in fact, a kind
[>t diplomacy, politely conducted, behind
which there is war; but the diplomats
often do not see the war.
