The Southern States need repOse and
peace. The blessings Of material pros
perity come only on the wings Of peace,
descending on the people through an
atmosphere in which security to life and
property supply the oxygenized ele-
ments Of social and civic health. In adj
dition to these there mustexist among the
people a sacred regard for their honor,
prompting them to meet, with inviolable
punctuality, their obligations, to pay
their debts, and meet out equal justice
to all meA. The undeveloped wealth Of
the South Is past all computation. The
diversity Of her resources, the beauty Of
her climate, the grandeur Of her bound

exhaustless mines Of coal, iron,

forests, mountain ranges, her cotton
and sugar producing valleys, the glory
Of her vegetation, the splendOr Of her
changing seasons; and last, though not
least, the brave and generous people
that live and have their being within
her borders; all these have employed
the pens Of sages, poets, statesmen and
philosophers. Yet, amid all this mag
nifcence, the South a. a section has
been far o~utstrpped in The race Of hu-

And speaks 70 him In horror.

THE KING OF SWEDEN.

Many amusing stories are told of tht
youthful eccentrieities of Oscar II, the
present King Of Sweden. He was early
noted for his Maynard disposition, and
his father insisted that his son should be
treated by his teacher with the same Sc
verify as ordinary school boys. Dissat-
isfied with his frequent whippings, 0s-
car, at the age Of twelve, ran away, and
was found in the streets of Copenhagen
playing marbles with a parcel of little
ragmufiins. At the age of seventeen be
was sent to the University Of Upsala,
and participated in all the prac-
teal jokes Of the students. In
six months, however, he was recalled to
Stockholm, where, among other ex-
plots, he was in the habit OF running to
all the fires in the capital, and of work
ing with the utmost yigor at the en-
gines. When the Princess Sophia, OF
Nassau, was selected as his wife, Prince
Oscar went secretly 70 Lubbock, and, in
disguise, travelled with the lady on the
steamer that conveyed her to Stock
holm, having adopted this method of
ascertaining for himself the character
and personal appearance Of his intended
bride.
