Matrimonial Compromises.— “Take the good when denied the best, Nor throw life out for one lost string.” Among the people whom we hare often heard of but have never seen, we must mention the man or the woman who must have things just as they want them, or refuse to have them at all. Most persons bring themselves eventually to put up with what is far short of their wishes and ex- The Heroines of American Novels.—Agnes Macdonell seems to have studied very carefully the idiosyncrasies of American novel heroines, and finds them to be a distinct type and stamped with unmistakable nationality, whether they are treated philosophically, religiously or sentiment ally. She declares “Mr. Darwin must account for the heroine of American tales as best he can. She is no daughter of the old-fashioned Eve, but John Stuart Mill. —We present this week, on our front page, a fine portrait of this great Eng lish reformer, who died in May, 1873, at the age of sixty-seven years. Of these years, fifty had been devoted to the formation of liberal sentiments in England, for he was only seventeen when he allied himself enthusiastically to the party of which Russell, Thompson, Romilly, Southwood, Grote, and pectations, and as a rule, they are happy in pro- an essentially new creation.” Not that she does | their confreres were leaders and lights.

In the true spirit of a commoner he gave most of his vigorous thought to the ele vation of the people.

A little over one year has passed since the first number of The Sunny South made its appearance, and the success which has attended it is well known. There is perhaps no parallel to it in the history of the press. But we feel that it has hardly begun the high career origin ally planned. In many respects it has fallen far short of the intentions and as pirations of its projector, which may be partially accounted for, however, by the fact that, single-handed and alone, he has had to contend at every step against the countless difficulties which have ever con fronted literary enterprises in the South. But thanks to the American people, and especially to those of the South, their kind words and liberal appreciation of our la bors have so cheered and encouraged us that we have been enabled to overcome all obstacles thus far, and The Sunny South stands to-day among the permanent institutions of the age. 1876 will mark a far more brilliant era in its history than the past twelve months, and the pride which all Southerners and all literary people now feel in its success thus far will be greatly increased. On or before the first of January next, we shall announce a corps of contributors which is not equalled, perhaps, by any literary journal in America. It will be composed of the first men of the day in science, literature, divinity, art, education and romance. In our next issue will be opened a reg ular “Educational Department,” which will be filled each week by a regular corps of successful and eminent teachers, and all teachers everywhere are requested to contribute to it. We have established branch offices in New York and New Orleans, with earnest and efficient managers in charge, who will give the paper a wide circulation in those cities, and we are now seeking to establish similar agencies in Cincinnati and St. Louis. We have also concluded a large con tract with one of the most popular gentle men and efficient canvassers known in the South, who will work up all the interme diate territory between these cities, and establish efficient agencies in every locality. Success to us and a hearty God-speed will no doubt come up from every friend of the enterprise, and all we ask is a little active help and the earnest prayers of each. TYhat Became of Onr No. 26 3—Numerous complaints from patrons have reached this office about No. 26 failing to reach them. What can be the secret of such irregularities ? The trouble cannot be in this-office, and we beg post-office officials everywhere to assist us in correcting such irregularities. The paper is properly mailed and postage paid to all points every Thursday, and it is exceedingly unfortunate, to say nothing of the injury and annoyance to us, to have it fail to reach subscribers. Patrons will please notify us when they fail to get each or any issue. Onr Exchanges. — Our esteemed cotempora- who have sent their cards to this office will from ns in our neit her senior, illiterate, vulgar and homely. She is indeed at the head of a fine establishment, has a carriage, and her jewels and silks are of the costliest; but her husband indulges in coarse jest in her drawing-room, talks of the prices of mackerel and molasses at her dinings, and snores horribly in his sleep. Our good friend Dick used to “werge on the poetical ” as he described the woman ha was to marry. He was fastidiously nice about his per son and his room. Of three things he felt cer tain,—his wife must he possessed of beanty of person, refinement of taste, and skill in domes tic business. Fondly would the dear fellow, as he lazily enjoyed his cigar, dwell upon the de tails of the Paradise which his industry was to create and over which his idol was to preside. We saw nothing of him during his courtship, and of course can tell nothing of how he got out of the clouds and learned to walk upon the ground. But we visited him some time ago, and found neither a Yenus nor a fairy palace; indeed, not to put too fine a point on it, Mrs. Dick is quite a slattern and much of a shrew, keeping her house at sixes and sevens and henpecking her husband most wofully. Dick winced a little as we glanced around and showed by look that we were thinking of his castles in Spain; but we believe he has become reconciled to his lot, and is not unhappy. How thankful we should feel that we have this power of adaptation to reconcile ns to situations which we cannot change and may not abandon. To accept the attainable and to cease sighing for the desired would be deemed philosophic were it not so commonly done. Many a woman has aspired to marry a man who never made her an offer, and has accepted and been happy with one for whom she cared not a fig, because she could do no better. Many a man, too, receives the mitten from half a score before he finds one who will take him for better or for worse. But it is not in the matter of marriage alone that we crave a pound and put up with a penny. Our whole lives are successions of compromises. We are always making our calculations upon what we shall be or what we shall have, and as con stantly reconciling ourselves to what is far below our calculations. Georgia a Perennial Garden.—The Early County Yews of last week has the following: The present fall is somewhat remarkable for the mild temperature that has prevailed up to this date. No killing frost up to this time; even cotton, okra, and such things still continue to bloom, and people who pay attention to their gardens are enjoying the usual spring as well as fall vegtables. The second crop of Irish potatoes in some patches is better than was the first. The second crop of squashes is quite as good as the first, and has been on our table for several weeks. What is the sense of croaking in a coun try where we can have something growing all the time. Since the above was put in type, wc have re ceived from the splendid nursery of M.

The American, Mrs. Browning’s Estimate of Byron.—The letters of Mrs. Browning to R. H. Horne, author of “Orion,” have been recently published, and are especially valuable for the subtle criticisms they contain on literary works and authors. Here is what she thinks of Lord Byron, whose faults seem to fade more and more in the light of his genius as the years pass over his early grave: “Ah! Mr. Horne, do you too call Byron vin dictive? I do not. If he turned upon the dart, it was by the instinct of passion, not by the the ory of vengeance, I believe and am assured. Poor, poor Lord Byron! Now would I lay the prone to overshoot the mark, carries this ten- i sun a * ld nioon against a tennis ball that he had i more tenderness m one section of his heart than The Sunny South Bnilding—Thanks to u Adolphus” and a Thousand Editors.—Some body from North Carolina calling himself Adol phus, recently visited Atlanta, and in writing back from the Kimball House to the Oxford Torchlight says, among many good things, that “ Atlanta is destined, at no distant day, to be the finest and largest city in the South. The Sunny South building i3 a grand structure, and the paper, as Donan, the editor of the Sentinel, writes, ‘ is a credit to the entire section from which it takes its name. It is infinitely superior to all such Northern weeklies as Bonner’s Namby-Pamby Ledger.’” Thanks to “Adolphus” for his kind words, | and to hundreds of editors for their recent ex cellent notices of The Sunny South. dency, in some instances, to an extreme of phys iological dissection that our critic condemns as preposterous and disgusting. The elder Haw thorne’s female characters, purely and delicately drawn as they are, she finds too much enhazed by the author's imagination—too greatly spirit ualized and supernaturalized to be within the range of criticism as embodiments of the Ameri can ideal woman. Bret Harte “objects too strong ly to respectable people,” for his “Miggles” and “ M’lisses ” to be taken as flowers of our national growth. So onr writer turns, for her genuine pictures of American heroines, to Mrs. Stowe and to Miss Alcott, the charming author of “Little Women” and “Seven Old Maids.” These writers rejeot the style of painfully introverted dissec tion and candidly take the common incidents of life “steeping them in what local atmosphere they can get and letting the characters of their stories develop themselves and talk themselves clear. ” Here is what she says about the bright, whole some, self-assured heroines of Miss Alcott: “In her Joes and Dolly Wards, there is cer tainly no vagueness, no philosophizing. We have in the “Old-Fashioned Girl” and “Little Women ” the. American girl of ordinary life at her best, and very pleasingly portrayed. Miss Alcctt has the advantage of not having any phys iological theories to discuss or psychological dif ficulties to solve, and she is quite content to lay before us clear, unambitious sketches—giving us, with homely truthfulness and vivacity in fic tion, what Eastburn Johnstone does in painting. Her characters are not heroic, but, unlike those of some other American novelists, they do not smack of the laboratory, the necromancer’s study, or the dissecting-room. Her ‘ girl ’ steps on the stage and begins her career amazingly early, of course. One of her ‘little women ’ is a fascinat ing person before she is fifteen. She has begun life, wears long dresses, looks after the morals of her hoy acquaintances, and takes a foremost place in the drama of life, when her European contemporary is leading a humdrum life in the school-room, and knows herself to be a person of no moment to any one beyond her parents and governess. She is full of readiness, tact, and audacity. Her self-assertion, however, is not of the rebellions order, for her position is perfectly acknowledged. She seems very kind to her parents, though her relations with father and mother perhaps partake rather of good-fel lowship than reverence. We hear of no family dissensions; fathers and their sons, mothers and their daughters, pull very evenly together,though one cannot deny that the daughters frequently row ‘ stroke ’ in the family boat. There is a hearty and confidential feeling between Mrs. March and her daughters. ‘ Send me as much advice as you like,’ writes Miss Amy to her mama, ‘and I will take it,’ she frankly adds, ‘ if 1 can.’ “The ‘violet-like’ bashfulness that hangs al most like a perfume upon the presence of Mrs. Gaskell’s Mollies and Ruths, these New England heroines have not; but they are wholesomely truthful, very sprightly, and charmingly at their ease.” That tendency and capability to “row stroke in the family boat ” is a peculiarity which strikes Miss Macdonell as eminently American, and quite the antipodes of English society. She illustrates it by a passage from a New England novel; ‘“To outsiders, the five energetic women seemed to rule the house, and so they did in * * * * has in all hers, though a tenderness mis understood and crushed, ignorantly, profanely, and vilely, by false friends and a pattern wife.

Two stains of the sort have we in one century; and what will wash them out?” * A Noble Movement—Jackson’s Daughter.— We invite the attention of every reader to the communication, to be found below, from a prom inent Virginian, setting forth a movement soon to be inaugurated for the purpose of raising an endowment fund for little Julia, the sweet little daughter of the immortal Stonewall Jackson. Every Southern heart will say Amen, and the entire press of the South is requested to copy the notice. Endowment for Stonewall Jackson’s Daughter. Charlottesville, Ya., Nov. 22, 1875. John II. Seals, Editor and Proprietor Sunny South : Dear Sir,—Below I send you a notice of a movement which will be started simultaneously in Virginia and Georgia, and will doubtless re ceive the enthusiastic and loving favor of all the South. When you publish the notice, and thus bring it before the public, they will be pre pared for the subscription paper which will soon be presented. The movement has received the approbation of General James L. Kemper, Governor of Vir ginia, and is now in the hands of one of Geor gia’s pet heroes for advice and consideration. By presenting it favorably in your beautiful sheet, you will aid in doing honor to the greatest hero of our “Sunny South.” Respectfully, Douglass. ENDOWMENT FUND OF .JULIA JACKSON. A movement is now on foot to endow little Julia, the child of Stonewall Jackson, and it is in such hands as will doubtless make it a suc cess worthy of the name and fame of the great man whom two worlds unite to honor. The soldiers and their families are making the movement, and chieftains endorse it. Only in sums of one dollar and hundredth parts of one dollar, will subscriptions be re ceived, that all may partake of this feast of love, gratitude and honor, and none he debarred. Should larger sums be cantributed, all in excess of one dollar from one person will be en tered on the list immediately after the donor’s name, under the heading “From the Unreturn ing Brave. ” All contributors will be entitled to a printed “List of Contributors,” which will assume a pamphlet form, should the success be as great as is expected. In sorest poverty, in deepest distress, let us come forward and honor our own children and our dead brothers by heaping a great blessing upon the child of that dead chieftain “upon whose prayer-bedewed banner victory ever seemed to wait.” Soldiers, what would you give to Jackson liv ing ? What ought you to give to Jackson’s child ? j£&~ Southern papers will please copy. Onr Faces. The countenance of a nation define the char- j acteristics of its people. Every human face in dicates the moral training as well as the tem perament and the ruling traits of its owner, just as much as every human form indicates the quality and amount of its physical exercise. This is proven by the varieties of human faces ev erywhere visible. Those whose lives have been ... given to physical labor, unbrightened by an ed- many things; but^ the^ quiet m^an^sittmg^among j ucation of ideas, have always a stolid, stupid ex- | pression, even while their limbs and muscles are i splendidly developed. The more savage a peo- j pie, the uglier they are in facial development. ] The very features of their faces are disfigured j by violent and ungoverned passions. People j whose employments are intellectual invaribly i have a large, clear gaze, a bright outraying ex”- | pression, as if from an inward light shining through a vase. Where a fine organization and i a deep sensibility accompany the practice of in- j tellectual pursuits, often the features take on a transparent, luminous look. Persons endowed with powerful sensibility, however plain their features, always have moments of absolute beauty. “My sister-in law is plain,” said one lady of an other, who possessed such a countenance, “ but I have seen her so absolutely beautiful at times that she drew everybody in the room toward her. When she is very happy, her face kindles his books was still the head of the family—the household conscience, anchor, and comforter; for to him the busy, anxious women always turned in troublous times, finding him, in the truest sense of those sacred words, husband and father.’ “We have read a description such as this in some English tales, but in this case it was the father and sons who were ‘busy’ and ‘anxious,* and it was the ‘quiet’ mother who was described as the ‘anchor’ and ‘comforter.’” The conclusions she reaches is that the hero ines of American novelists, though neither pert, fast or nnfeminine, take the lead in society. “Their voices in the chorus lead the melody; the basses and tenors fill the parts. They are true-hearted, high-minded and pure, with a strong, fearless, self-respecting purity. If in the hands of American novelists the PERSONALS.

The Coming Congress.—The withdrawal on the 29th ult. of Mr. Wood from the contest for Speaker created a sensation. In authorizing the withdrawal of his name, Mr. Wood declined to say for whom he would cast his influence. The respective friends of Kerr, Randall and Cox are still confident. The contest for the clerkship is active, Major Wedderburn, of Virginia; Major Banks of Mississippi; Mr. Adams, of Kentucky; Mr. Archer, of Maryland, and Dubose, of Geor gia, are on the ground. Each will undoubtedly have the support of his State. It is thought the election of Kerr will throw the clerkship to the southeast or the election of Randall to the south west. Mark M. Pomeroy, better known as “Brick,’ editor of the Democrat, New York, has been de clared a bankrupt. His creditors are numerous, and scattered throughout the country. Among the largest are the following: James E. Jones, $33,342; Perkins & Goodwin, $18,000; Charles Sykes, 313,200; Mrs, Ann A. Bead, $10,000; Charter Oak Life Insurance Company, of Hart ford, 310,000. The debts aggregate to over $140,000, and there are no assets except his wearing apparel, which is exempt under the law. Among the claims is one for $2,000 for diamonds, which he purchased. A meeting of the creditors will be held soon to take action in the matter. GENERAL NEWS.

It was written to his faithful child—the little fair-haired Margaret, far away across the wild Atlantic. They were the impris oned colonist’s farewell words, for he met his death on the gallows soon after: I wish you that white stone with the new name, Which none can read but who possess the same; And such a soul that soars above the sky, Well pleased to live, but better pleased to die. * heroine has lost some of the pensive charm of ; with an absolute radiance.” The refining effects T-,—j j x of high culture, added to deep religious feeling, not only subdue evil passious, but beautify and elevate the entire expression and bearing of an individual.
