Swedish Morality.

Bayard Taylor, in his correspondence IN
the ". Y. Tribune, draws the following I'M
flatteriug picture of the morals OF the swe-
dish capital: ,-.
stockholm has been called the most IL
centious city in Europe, and have no doubt
with the most perfect justice. Very nearly
half the registered births are illegitima'e,
to say nothing of the illegitmate children
born IL, medlock, Of the servant shop girls,
and seamstresses in the city, it is very sale
TO say that scarcely one out Of a hundred is
chaste, while, as rakish young Sweedes
have coolly informed me, large proportion
of girls of respectable parentage, belonging
to the middle class, are not much better
The men, of course, are much worse than
the women, and even in Paris one sees few
err physical signs of excessive debachery.-
Here the number of broken-down young
men, and blear- eyed, hoary sinners is aston
ishing. Ihave never been in any place
where RIGHTEOUSNESS was so open and avow-
sd--and yet where the slang Of sham NOR
atty was so prevalent. There are no hous-
es of prostitution in Stockholm, and the city
would be scandalized at the idea Of allowing
such thing. A few years ago two were
established, and the fact was no sooner
known, than virtuous mob arose and vio-
lently pulled them down.
ut is but fair to say that the Sweeds ae-
count for the large proportion 9th ilIeg't-
innate births by stating that many uniortu-
nate females come up from the country to
hide their shame in the capital, which is no
doubt true. Everything that l have said
mas been derived from residents Of Stock
holm, who, proud as they are sensitive, can
not conceal this glazing depravity. The
population of Stockholm, as is shown by
statistics, has only been increased during the
last fifty years immigration from the country
the number of deaths among the inhabitants
exceeding the birth BY several hundred every
year. VS. once speaking with Sweede
about these facts, which he seemed inclined
