The young people, when they mated — and they married very young — ^took a less desir- ,y Google 64 THE SOUTHERN able part of the family domain^ built a cabin^ cleared a few rocky acres, and in turn began their struggle for existence. Game disap- peared, trade was non-existent; times grew harder; and faster grew the... families. This process was continued for several generations, and now we see the natural and inevitable result.
A sight that may still be witnessed is that of a young mountaineer at work, in the face of the jovial gibes of his friends, clearing for himself and his '* intended " or his al- ready " obtained " a field or so on a hillside that has never felt the profanation of a plow.
The field will provide com for his " pone " bread; and a few razor-backed pigs grown, not fattened, on the mast in the woods will furnish his " side-meat." The writer, not long since, conducted the funeral of a mother in Israel who united with the Presbyterian Church as long ago as 1837.
