Invitations to Commencements.—We have received quite a number of invitations to attend the public exercises of Southern literary in stitutions, and have deeply regretted our ina bility to do so. June and July are the seasons for our literary carnivals, and we are delighted at the success which seems to characterize them everywhere. Completed Stories. — We have thought it would he more acceptable to our readers to pub lish more short stories, each complete in one issue, while the paper is being issued only once in two weeks. Those who become interested in continued stories dislike to wait so long between installments. We have on band a great many charming short ones, which will please all story readers. “Aunt Mildred’s Story” and “The Spectre of Ravens wood,” in this issue, will be found deeply interesting. The Principles of ’<<>.—We are pleased to note the evidences of a reinstatement of the memorable fourth day of July in the affections of the Southern people. The late disruption I between the North and the South was never any j reason for our suppressing the involuntary hal- ; lelujahs which were ever wont to arise within us i at its annual return. It is a day of which South erners should be particularly and' /peculiarly i proud, for, as the present patriotic Governor of : Georgia said, the idea of a declaration of inde pendence was the conception of a Southern man, and the instrument itself was the production of a Southern mind, and he who enforced, defended and established its principles was a Southern man. Why should Southerners, then, not feel peculiarly proud of it ? It was for the mainte nance of its truths that the blood of the revolu tion was shed, and for these same inalienable principles Southerners staked their all in the late conflict. The day was celebrated with great spirit in Atlanta on Monday last. The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, the honored “Sage of Liberty Hall,” delivered a noble oration to an immense con course of people, which our sprightly daily pa pers have published in full. Captain John Mil- ledge read the Declaration of Independence in fine style, and Colonel J. A. Stewart read a pa triotic and well-written poem. A fervent prayer was offered by Rev. A. T. Spalding, and Captain Sidney Dell introduced the speakers with appro priate remarks. A Love Affair of John Wesley.^-*- H. Given sey, in the May Gala.ry, writes as follows: Sophia Hokey, a niece of the principal mag istrate (in Georgia, 1736) was young, pretty, and intelligent. 'Wesley was pleased with her and she with him. She dressed in white because he liked it, and regulated her habits by his advice; he fell sick, and she nursed him. He made up his mind to marry her. Delamotte opposed the idea of a marriage; Wesley submitted the ques tion to the Moravian elders, who advised him to proceed no further in the matter. “The Lord’s will be done,” replied Wesley; but he was in a sore strait. Sophia was naturally piqued and hastily engaged herself to one William William son, and the marriage took place March 1*2, in four days, Wesley in the meantime having vainly urged her to break the engagement and marry him. Wesley made this curious entry in his journal: “Feb. 5.—One of the most remarkable dis pensations of Providence toward me began to show itself this day. For many days after I could not at all judge which way the scale would turn; nor was it fully determined till March 4, on which day God commanded me to pull out costly gallery of works of art in the l nited extravagance.
