Since the day of exploded ideals has arrived, -when William Tell and (ieoro-e Washington's little hateliett. yea. even the all-pervading Puritan who dominated our school histories one and all have been dethroned from their sure seats, it seems as if the traditional Southern woman of the old plantation life mig-ht be al lowed to descend from the cross where she has been nailed for gener ations. This graceful but lackadaisical ef tigy of the imaginary "Southern prim-ess" who alternately lolled in a hammock in slothful self-indulgence, or arose in her wrath to scourge her helpless dependents, is the creation which our neighbors have been pleased to call the "typical Southern woman." TIIK UKAL .MATRONS OF THE OI.I SOl'TII. Flow different was the real house mistress who. on the great river properties before the war. ruled the destinies of her family with gentle and wise sway. To us who know her in her old age it seems inexplicable that her place has been so long usurped by the figure fashioned by a hostile sculptor. What a blessing this woman is to i the "New South." the South of strug-: gles and poverty even the bitter-; ness of her detractors must acknowl- edge now that the cloud and smoke; of battle begin to clear awav and! under the sun of peace reveal her true self. What she was in the larger and more complicated sphere of her old life is known only to those who took part in it. or to the younger genera tion who feel the beneficent influence of her character. Had the women of the plantations been tne lazy drones of the popular fancy, dream ing awav their aimless lives in an at mosphere heavy with the odors of' yellow jasmine, magnolias and roses, she would have been vanquished by the conditions over which she has been victorious. When war. pestilence and famine settled on her country, the Southern women, armed cap-a-pie with her heredity of good housewifery, self control and patience, sprung uncom plaining and cheerful to her place, and vanquished her difficulties with a manly vigor and a womanly grace, the memory of which is very pre cious and sweet savored to those with whom she dwelt. OI.D-FASIIIONKI) VIKTtTKS ANI TASTKS. She probably did not understand the higher mathematics; but her arithmetic sufficed for household ac counts and to gauge her expenses. Tier family practice in the hospital of her plantation made her the best of nurses. Although her ideas of modern phi losophy may have been the vaguest, gentle and sincere piety breathed through all her arduous life, and made of her tin best model for the half-civilized souls entrusted in her care, and also the refining influence over the men of her family. If among the Hebrews each man was a priest to his own family, among our people every woman of ficiated as iriestess in the isolated corner where she dwelt with the man towards whom "duty was pleasure and love was law," to whom "for better or for worse" she was married until death should them part. With her whole heart she gave her best energies to his service. It was her mission to counsel and comfort the weak-hearted and succor all those who were desolate and distressed, were they of her own or of the subject race. She was the mediatrix, the teacher, and in short the mother of her people, and to her, if to any one, the negro owes his present civiliza tion and moral c ulture. The prejudices of her male rela tives were arrayed against publicity of any kind for her even the hom age due to her virtues seemed an in vasion of the sanctity of homo. Thus the record of her deeds has been sup pressed and she blossomed, bore noble fruit and faded behind a screen so thic k that it has obscured to the outside world the gracious lines of her"personality, and her works alone praised "her in the gates," but her children now rise up and call her blessed. ItOW THE SOUTHERN WOMAN WAS TRAINEll. To understand the so-called "New South" it is necessary to comprehend the actual duties of her mothers and the social relations which brought forth a race of people honorable, kindly, faithful and recklessly brave, v'et adaptable in the highest degree. These positive virtues are not gen erally associated with adaptability to new conditions, yet the Southern jM-ople in their bitter experience of defeat have given evidence of this power in its fullest significance. The men and women of our coun try had, during the slave-holding period, fulfilled so many varying and incongruous duties to their slaves that they were in a measure fitted for any labor. The first lesson that a little Southern girl learned in prep aration for her duties as mistress of a plantation was her association. usually developing into a warm friendship, with the maid of her own age. who was generally given by the mother of the negro to "be of some service to" little missie." a sort of counterpart to the "body servant" whom the recent dialect stories have made familiar to our non -slave-holding neighbors. Although the pecu liar relations of things made this in timacy less close than that between master and man. the love which be gan in their early youth ripened gen erally into a hearty affection, which usually was life-long, beginning as it did, with their childish games in the negro quarter. I'NcoNserors training of the xeuro QUARTER. It is doubtful if there was ever a terre defendus so attractive to a child as this same "quarter," a col lection of small dwellings built on each side of a street, and inhabited by children of a larger growth who were prodigal of stories flavored by the faith of the reconteur. There were friendly yellow dogs; chickens, ruffled, muffled and duck-legged, which answered to names, with cal low broods racing after them, and wonderful liens' nests full of eggs in unfrequented corners, fires in the open air with fat sweet potatoes roasting in their ashes; doll baby gardens planted and torn up at once by a multitude of little coffee-colored playmates who scampered about "lit tle missus" in a frenzy of delight. Mistress and maid confided everv- dainties and the intelligent care of the sick. WELL READ PLANTATION WOMEN. This practical education went hand in hand with the elementary and theoretical one under governessess. or in the little schools composed of the children of the neighboring places. Whether this method of mixing the actual with the ideal was partic ularly beneficial to their minds or. that the loneliness of their lives drove them into more serious stud ies, it is remarkable how many well read women there were on these river places whose fainiliarity with the classics was close enough to be loving and whose skill in the tinkling music of their clay was of no mean proficiency. So well were their capacity and attainments recognized that the dis tinguised American historian of this century. Mr. Bancroft, declined a wager with a Southern lady about a literary question, saying: 4 'I have been told to begare of the plantation woman she reads so many books she will prove me in the wrong." As the Southern woman developed into maturity, dividing' her time be tween her studies and observation of the busy life around her, she read in the daily practice of her elders the constantly repeated lesson of her duty to her sable dependents. RESI'ONSIHII.ITY OF THE SLA YEHOLIUNU i FAMILY. On the plantation it was not a question of cottage visiting, such as is common in English and New YaX lanct country life. It was the actual care of an irresponsible family, large and often refractory enough to" dam pen the zeal of the most philan thropic. There were clothes to bo made for the babies and little children, and as well for the "orphans," the shiftless bachelors aud motherless Iwiys and girls who would not sew if they could. Then the seamstresses who were to do this work were to bo trained from the manner of holding needles and scissors through all the various kinds of stitches to be taken up to dressmaking. There were waiters and waitresses and dairy maids to instruct, and cooks to superintend. Also there must be many of these skilled ser vants, because, without exception, they all had families, and if one of these should be taken ill another ser vant must be taken out of the field to supply the parent's place in the house, so that the child might be properly attende d to and the moth er's heart at ease. The fallacy that those darky ser vants grew like blackberries on the briars belongs to that land of Cock- A NATION'S DOIXCiS. thing to each other and their mutual j "hero roasted pigeons fell from affection stood the mistress in good stead in lwer after life and enabled her often to penetrate the interest ing but bewildering tangle of "ter giversations." which the plantation negro calls his thoughts. Experi-" once taught her the habit of their minds and opened to her the genuine dialect of a thousand idioms which she would afterward have to use in instructing her slaves. It also initi ated her into the African standards of right and wrong, by which she gauged the depth of the offender's culpability. There, too. she learned the poten tiality of sarcasm in dealing with a race so alive to a sense of the ludi crous that an appeal to its risibles will often answer the purpose better than punishment. An instance of this kind is given of a Southern woman who cured her negro marketman of bringing the family a turkey daily for dinner be cause he had speculated in them and they were cheaper than other meat. She invited him to "stand on the gallery and gobble a little." This ludicrous performance deterred him from a repetition of his offense when more serious remonstrances had proved fruitless. HOW SHE ABSOKKEI) HOUSEWIFERY. The little girls were present at all the milkings, churnings. sausage cuttings, corn-sh uckings and even the grinding of meal on the place, and so became familiar with the min utiae of these industries. When the young mistress was mar ried the superintendence of these du ties devolved upon her the curing of the meat which was to form the stanle food of the white and black family throughout the year, the rec ipes of which were handed down from mother to daughter for genera tions. As ther.e were no markets. chickens and turkeys and ducks and geese must be reared in plenty; but ter must be churned; a good-vegeta ble garden sedulously cultivated; the fruit trees and berry vines persuaded to bear fruit after their kind. To overlook the weaving room, where the cotton clothes as well as woolens used to be made, was also her duty and in all these things our grand mothers and mothers were as profi cient as the chatalaines of the mid dle ages. Much of these arts the Southern child absorbed without special instruction. Also a part of her education was ' the cutting and sewing of all kinds of garments, the cooking and serving of all sorts of the skv. Certainly these self-pro ducing prodigies did not exist for our mothers. It will be only after a long and c areful course of training, with mutual forbearance and pati ence, that the free negro will make as accomplished a servant as our slaves were. THE TRUTH ABOUT WHIl'PIXO ANl SEI.I.INO. The extreme penalty of whijfping was reserved for such offenses as stealing and other crimes. As the negroes could not be "discharged without a character." the mistress was not armed with the terror al ways in the hands of the modern housewife, but she had to make the best of her husband's negroes as she found them, trusting to her own powers as educator to form of the young ones such servants as she would like to have about her. To sell one of the negroes "born on the place" was aif evidence of the direst poverty of the master or of the most heinous conduct on the part of the slaves. A MISTRESS COULl NOT DISCHARGE HER SLAVE. Such piccadilloes a: insubordina tion, untidiness or stupidity formed no reason to the mind of either mis tress or maid in the "Old South" for a dissolution of their mutual relation; nor could a tormented mistress find relief by giving a useless servant her freedom. There is an authentic story of one who tried, during a visit to the North, to thus rid herself of a drunk en maid whose taste for Maderiahad tempted her to run up a score on her mistress's account at a neighboring drinking shop. When the mistress remonstrated the negro answered her that being a "quality darky" she could hardly be expected to get drunk on whisky, "like poor white trash." and that as far as her "free papers" were concerned she would have none of them, there was no use talking, she was "master's nig ner" and he would have to support her as long as she lived. There was no recourse.but to submit, and the maid continued to follow her own sweet will until her freedom was forced upon her by the war. This was no singular or isolated case.
