Tha New Sonth.

The rehabilitation of the South is now
being accomplished. and nothing is
more gratifying to the minds of the gen
uine friend Of this country than such an
assurance The past season has been
most suspicious, and the Southern
States are now in n condition of nnpre-
cedented prosperity. Rich in soil.
blessed IN climate. grand internal adj
vantages. nothing has been wanting but
mills and workshops TO utilize this vast
internal wealth. But it takes capital TO
plant and move such manufacturing in
tcrests, and money only will continue TO
pu. these new industries in full and
successful operation. ..a
Within two years more than hun
dred millions of Northern capital has
been invested in the Southern States,
and is now forming avery lasting chain.
especially adapted to binding together
the hearts of men, by binding in one
their seemingly diversified interests. A
new South-a manufacturing kingdom
will be the result and what is grown
here will he placed upon the market as
manufactured fabric, and every profit
connected Herewith will be retained at
home. The next five years will show u
greater addition to the wealth of the
South than has any previous twenty.
and the best outcome will be wealth
of harmony which invariably accom-
panies n union OF interests. The South.

Sour Grapes.

Every one knows It's the homoly
daughter of the house who wears the
apron.
Not that it should he so, but some
how it has fallen to her lot, evidently
because she is more helpful than her
pretty sister.
The homcly girl has the knack of max
ing things go right
When she enters the Kitchen the stub
born fire gives in; the kettle starts u
singing; the oven u heating; the table is
strewn with raisins and spices aud the
pudding begins. Her hands are so use
ful one often wishes they were not
limited to two.
See how she cuts, turns, sews. and.
10. things old are "as good rs new"
Why, in her plant fingers lives the
magic of fairy wand.
Stern papa, too, knows well the worth
of his plain-faccd daughter whose
dresses seem to keep so long. Even
her lover. marvellous enough, is just the
solid sort of man papa would have
chosen for her himself.
His ecccntricities she can manage;
mammals headache she can soolhe, aud
even the baby itself yields to her lullaby,
The children say she is the "besteSt'
sister in the "whole, whole world" for
doesn't she mend the manned dolls and
clotho the naked ones?
Then, she is sure to find Ill the lost
tops, balls and marbles, besides being
intimate with those enhancing words
fairies, giants and Arabian steeds. But,
above all. she never '.tclls on you'
What more could boy or girl ask for
in big sister?
In the small ornamental accomplish
ments of the parlor our homcly girl is
not brilliant. That too-lovely-for-any-
thing waltz is apt to escape her
memory, but trust her in ctymology
and the intricaces of photography. It
is not the strawberry-lipped girls who
bear oil the mathematical prizes; nor
is classical nose necessary for prof.
cheney in grammar Neither is an incli-
nation to freckle indicative of cloudy
brain; and have we not all noticed how
well, how astonishingly attractive the
homely girl is when her ribbons are adj
justed?
She, too, has her devotces in Whose
sincerity we are bound to believe; for
among our married acquaintance, the
wives we know would not be classed in
the beautiful nor heroic order.
No. indeed, they are faulty, everyday
people who have tempers and lind them
difficult to control.

I,nnis Rlann,s Wife.

A romantic story comes from the
French side of tho ocean ferry to the
odd effect that Bonapartism found Blanc
his excellent wife. When he accepted
exile. he purposely took lodgings in
Newman strcet--a quarter not far from
Soho, much affected By the foreigners
in London-with an elderly landlady,
who had a young and attractive niece.
Not long after no had been housed"
and was imagining his retreat unknown
to tho spies, he returned to his apart
ments to find that during his absence
they had evidently been at work with
his papers. His grief was so apparent
for these missing papers compromised
intimate friends who had remained be-
hind-that it excited the young lady's
compassion. and she turned traitor to
her aunt by showing him where they
were hidden, ready for removal. He re-
covered them, but mademoiselle was
driven relentlesSly from. the house by
her enraged relative. Not long after
ward the distinguished exile married
his commiserator, whose grace and
beauty afterward became famous in
their restored Paris residence.
