XLU u by far the beat novel ou Soulbern i society which has yet appeared. Wo liuvo had several answers to "Uncle Tom's (Jab in," but the writers have generally considered it necessary to show the evils of Northern society as an olfsot to the evils alleged against tuo South. This, however, docs not meet the case, and we are glad to find ? volume devoted almost wholly to a pro? ' Beutation of the features of Southoru society, and one, too, that takes such an intelligent view of the propor relations of tho black and white races. Yho author duos not whine over "the evils of slavery,"' as has been the custom too often, but boldly dofeuds Southern Society from tho stand poiut of right and justice. White Oak Farm i* r a plantnlioii belonging to Col. Lawrence, who is a model mnsior of his household, I and the views given of a well regulated r Southern family are graphic and interest- j ing. Without going into h dotail of the | story, we will only mention, n9 necossary 1 for our purpose, that Col. Lawronco has a j negro named Timothy, or "Tip for short," r who bocaniesmitten with thecharms of"freo- c .dom," and ran away. Heforo Tip got to I Ohio, however, ho concluded to return, f After getting back to While Oak Farm, j Col. Lawrence gave him his free papers, I and sout him otf to Philadelphia^ There v Tip became the servant of n good Abolition s Quaker gentleman, Mr. Sneckman, wlio i tried to instil into Tip's mind liio sentiment \ of equality. The following conversation 1 between Tip aud his now master will be in ^ to res ting: I "I do not wish to be in thy way, Timo i thy," said Uriah, seating himself cn a chair lfl ill the kitchen; "but tlieo has already told mo so much about thy people in Virginia s that 1 am curious to know more." "You's not in my way, Mast'r Snockum," Tip began. ti "Timothy, I must interrupt tlieo in the !i outset. I do not wish thoo to call mo max li ter, Posides, my nnmo is not Snockum, n but Sneckman. My Christian name is I Uiiah, as I have already told thee repeat- a edly. Thee will oblige by remembering," said Uriah kiudly. Ii "L)at bothers mo jes' tho wor's kind!" ii said Tip. "I always talked to my dear olo I Massa Lawrence snmo as I talks to you, a and I can't learn no 6der way. And why s should It Isn't Tip your servant, you nor 1 v akr "My name is not you nor I ah, but d Uriah," said his friend, Biuiling at Tip's '1 -embarrassed look. d "'Acme me, mast'r. Dar it is again! a Well, but I waajea' axin, isn't Tip your k servant!'' l< "Yes, Timothy," replied Uriah. C "Den isn't you Tip's inast'ri" inquired '? Tip. "The Scripture, sailh litnolhy, 'Call d no man master; for oca is your master, " evon Christ,"' was Uriah's reply. ti "Jes'so, raast'r Sneckum; but doesn't I it say, tco, 'bervants, obey your masters!' " "Truly," replied Uriah. a "Well," resumed Tip, "now massa Utire, d do way dey splaued dat to tne in do Sunday ti school was dis: When do Lord says call sj no man mast'r ho used dc word raast'r si same as head teacher. Miss Jcannio used r< to tell us do fust langungo in which do New d Testament was written was Creek." g "Greek thee moans, Timothy," said h Uriah. . si "Of coaa, Mast'r Snockutn, I doosn't un- T dersland any oder way of talkin' 'ceptin what wo used to in olo Virginity; but da L's lc de way doy splained dat tex," said Tip. ."Well, Timothy, i shall havo to let theo n Hake thino own way, i seo plainly," said, y Uriah, amiling. g "l's obliged?a thousand times obliged it to you, for do privilege, Massa Sneckum? u 1 is so," said Tip; "for l's mighty forgitful a when I tries to laru uew ways." ti "Let that pass, Timothy. I understand t? tnee 10 say tlrat thee has never known a k single case in which any one of the hon- a dred slaves held in bondage bv the former ci friend was mal-trealed," said Uriah. s; "Dat's true as Dr. iliuldani's preaching," '? replied Tip. " ti "And ho <juue thoe thy liberty, Timothy, ri freely, did her' said Uriah looking earnest- d ly at Tip. . I "Masl'r Snockum, not only dat; ho t? wouldn't let mo stay at White Oak s< though I tried hard and begged him to 'low mo to bo his servant," replied Tip. tl "That is strange. Why then did ho not L dismiss all thy people with thee!" said Uriah. . y *'ISuw, Mast'r Sueckuru, do fact' is jes' so; w you coulJn't gel a soul of 'em to leave d Mnssa Lawrence; doy would a most die s? afore; dey'd do it," said Tip. is "Why thou didol thou leave him!" in- a .jailed Uriah. a 'l ip was cornered; and although ho foil n as though he wus inventing his own dis- a< grace, yet he came up to the ordeal with It iho manliness of truth, mwl l.ia r.;.....!

"1 believe thee can bo as happy \ hero as in Virginia. And yet, I doubt not, the home theo has left was a good one. I d should like 10 see thy master, though ho i* a military inan, I presume, from his title of Colonel." u "Oli, Masi'r Sneckum," exclaimed Tip, "do soo Colonel Lawrence! if ho don't treat you well den nebcr b'lieveTip anodor word h *he says!

Thoro art) many contingencies that night greatly change the condition of thy riends at White Oak," said Uuriah. "I don't know nullin about de 'tingen- 1 :ies, Must'r Sneckum?nober sud any 'bout 1 lar and don know what doy is," replied j Tip; "but dar's ji*t one thing I'd like to mow 'bout what the 'posllo says: 'If thou 1 nay est ho free use it rather.'

"What difference does it make whether ' hoy were black or white, Timothy? The ' ulvico is the same," replied Uriah. "Well, mast'r, 1 doesn't want to bostimpuous," continued Tip. "You knows mo' ' ibout de Iiiblo nor I does, and it may bo es' as you say; but 'appears to mo a culled ^ >U8soti, when ho is got a good mast'r, is a ' loap bettor off dan most of do free culled <nissons'bout yer.

Ho hall hear from mo, and I will toll hiin " rhcre thou art." *Ts obliged to you, most'r Uriro, from | o lowest uepft's of my poro heart, said j *ip, "and you enn say to mast'r Lawrenco at I is as happy yer as I b'liovo I can ho nywhars 'ceptin' at White Oak, kaso l's P indly treated; and you kin givo my love 11 o olo mast'r and do boys, and to mast'r 'larence and missus Jennie, and my best ipecls to all de folks down in dat quarter." Finally, Tip became heartily sick of "freeom," and pined for bis old master and the boys" at White Oak Farm. The Quaker ^ riecl every means to induco him to stay. I Jpon one occasion Tip talks in this style: ^ "Mast'r Sneckum, you says wo all free ' nd equal by nat'ral rights. Very well, * at may bo so. S'pose now, mast'r, you b urns round and lots mo bo nrast'r for a ' pell. llow will dat do? Wo's all on de v srne footin', you knows.

"So, mast'r Sneckum, r' ou go to de stablo and give Tip's hoss n a ut'w lurijiu, now uo 11 right mast'r.

"Timothy, thou art set in thy ways, and tero is too much drollery ubout thee,"said Frinh. "Now I'so soius mas.su. Do fac run dis er.

Dey's loo poor ? live, and too lazy to work." And Tip ' ouiul up with an omphalic "dat's so!" "Hut why not stay with us, Timothy? Sro will treat llieo well," said Uriah. "You has treated mo well, and I'll alters iterator it, and 1 ip will never forgil yoa bl iuI mlstis; but, Mnst'r Sneckuni, 1 wants 11 ) bo 'uiong my own people. 1 wants to see v ly olo inast'r ami Arthur Clarence, and 'J oaunie, and the rest of 'em.

Making a Halkxhouse Draw.?Horses now nothing about balking until they are rough I into it by improper maragemont; nd when a horse balks in harness, it is enerally from some mismanagement, exilement, confusion, or from not knowing ow to pull, but seldom from any unwilngness to perform his duty. High spiriid, free going horses, are tho most subject > balking, and only so because drivers do ol properly understand how to manage, his kind of free horse in u loam, may be > anxious to go, that wbeu ho hears the ord he will start with a jump, which will ot start tho load, but give him such a socio jerk in the shoulders, that be will fly ack and slop tho olhor horse; the teatuster ill continue his driving without cessation, ad by the time ho has the slow horse start1 again, he will find that the freo horse as made another lunge, and again tiew ack, and now lie has them both badly alked, and so coufused, that ueilhor of tern knows what is the matter, or how to art the load. Next will come the slashig and cracking of the drivers whip, till miothing is broken, or be is through with lis course of treatment. It takes a steady rossuro against the collar to move a load, ml you cannot expect him to act with a eudy determined purpose while you are hipping them. Almost any team, when first balked, will .art kindly, if you let them stand fire or mi minutes, as though thero was nothing to matter, and then speak kindly to them nd turn them a little to tho right or left, :> as to get them both in motion before iev feel tho pinch of the load. Hut if you aut to start a team that you are not driing youtrclf, that has been balked, fooled, nd whipped for somo time, go to them and ang tho linos on their haiues, or fasten leni to the wagon, so that they will he erfectly loose; make driver aud spectators .and otf some distance, ho as not to attract 10 attention of the horses, and unloose the lieck reins, so that they can get their heads own, if they choose; let them stand a few limites in this condition, till you can soe icy arc a little composed. When you ave them ready to start, stand before them, nd as you seldom have hut one balky orse iu a team, get as near in front of him * you can, and if ho is too fast for tho ther horse, let his nose come against your reast; this will keep him steady, for he ill go slow rather than run on you. Turn tern gently to the right, without lotting lem pull on their traces, as far as the mguo will lot thorn go, stop them with a ind word, gontle them a little, and turn ack to the left by the samo process; as you irn them agaiu to tho right, steady them i the collar, and you can take thorn whore ou please. maaasaatmm H i If you *nuU to brook a bora* thai koo long been in the hobit of balking, you ooght to set opart a half day for it. Put bim by the side of a stead* horse, bar* check-lines | oh them, tic up all tbe traces aod straps, so that there will be nothing to excite them. Do not rein them up, but let them bare their heads loose, walk them about as slow y as possible, stop often, aod go to your balky horse and gentle bim; do not take any whips about bitu, or do anything to excite him, but keep him just as quiet as you can; fl he will soon start off at the word, and stop _ whenever you tell him. As soon as be per- V forms right, hitch him to an empty wagon, and have it stand iu a favorable place for v starting. Ii would b? wel' to shorten the stay chain behind the steady horse, so that F if it is necessary, he can take the weight of the wagon. The first time you start them, do not drive more than two rods at first; C watch your bnlky horse closely, and if rou see ho is getting a little excited, stop hiiu ^ before he stops of his owo accord, caress g him a ?ittle, aod start ngaiu; drive them over a small hill a few times, and then over \ a large one, all the while adding a light load. This process will make nny horse pull T truo.? 1V. II. Murray, Jr., in Ohio Cultivator.
