third part of the race, so that it is
impossible except willing Of herself,
that she should be overtaken. II
the maid outrun the suitor, the mat
ter is ended; he must never have her,
it being a penalty for the man to re-
new the motion Of marriage. But il
the virgin has an affestion for him,
though at first she runs fast to try
the truth of his love, she will with
out Atlanta's golden balls to retsrd

and make a voluntary halt before
she comes to the mark or end of the
race. Thus none are compelled to
marry against their own wills, and
this is the cause that in this poor
country the married people are rich

other lands, where so many forced
matches make feigned love, and
cause real unhappiness.

EA writer in the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the following as his
views on the future prosperity of the
South, and its effects on the North.
After giving statistics which we omit
for want of space, he says:
But this is not all. The value
of these Southern lands, being so
much more productive thsn the very
best lands of the North will within
ten years rise to at least SO per acre
more of value, which would give
S2,17O,714, 160 more of profit to the
war. Then the same time would
add at least Sl,000.000,000 more to
the value of her cities and towns,
and thus swell the three items to So
302, 800, 800, as the pecuniary return
for the expenditures of this war
Thus is demonstrated the anomaly
of nations making war upon one
third of itself in rebellion, and max
ing a great economical advantage
out of it.
Bot it may be replied that the
NortlNsiil dspreciate as much as the
South will appreciate by reason of
the rewakening at the South, and
hence there will be nothing to Offset
the war-debt. This will not be so.
1t is true that very little progress
will be realized at the North for some
years; but she will hold her own, and
increase enough to remain healthy
throughout all ler great interests,
moral, educational, social and mate
rial. During the ten years required
for bringing up the South to an equi-
libIium with the North, the industries
of our shops, factories, farms and
commerce, will be more active than
ever before; for not only will We
have the same population at the
South to supply, but greatly in
creased population, and in addition
the Increase of trade which change
of slaves to free laborers will secure
us. Besides the great amount OF
labor that will be required at the
South to repair the damages of the
war, and to put all her interests in
the active attitude of free industry,
will draw largely upon our products.
Hence the South can grow up in ten
years from the natural increase OF
our population, and from Immigra-
ton, which will be greatly aceelera-
ted, and thus save the North from
any material exhaustion, or any no
ticeable depreciation of the profits oI
her industry. No doubt but real
estate will greatly depreciate through
the North for four or five years, in
consequence of the great number
who will desire to sell for the pur
pose of purchasing at the South: but
the profits of agriculture will be
greater than during the five years
before the war, for the reasons above
given. During three, four or five
years next after the war, The South
will be a scene Of unprecedented
speculation. Cheap rich lands, pro-
ducing cotton and sugar, viii be
sought with avIdity, and such an ex-
element as this country never wit
messed n peaceful times will prevail
