THE ANGEL BARQUE. Sr L. VIRGINIA sumo Little Calvin, a blue-eyed, fair-haired child of six sum mers, was dying, and he bade his father and mother come near the bedside that he might tell them farewell. • '3loth etr," said he, "will you not go - with me ?" "Where are you going, my child ri asked his mother. With his eyes fixed upward, he answered, "To Heaven, mother," and in a moment was in the artnii of hint who has said, "suffer little children to tome unto me, and forbid them not, for attach iIEI the Kingdom of Heaven." " From the rosy western heaven, Through thertintedrnists of even, ~Up the purple deeps of twilight, Slowly sailed a snowy cloud, .

All his earthly mission ended, On his little couch extended, Lay he. watching with the spirit, As his azure eyes grew dim; Though by others all unnoted, Watching where that vessel floated, And the wooing angels waited, • For he knew they came for him. Many sweet "good byes" he told ye Close his little arms enfold ye— Father, brother pressing near Lim, EhUtting heasien from his view, But to thee he clung the nearest, Thou the fondest, best and dearest, As. he murmured,, ,, Ph my mother, Will not you go with me, too.?" “Where c oh ! where, my child ?” "To Heaven!'

The "nice girl' does not even dance well, or play well, and she does not know a bit how to use her eyes or coquette with a fan. She never languishes, she is-too active for that; she is not given 'to novel reading, for she is always too busy. . And as to the opera, when she goes there she does not consider it necessary to show her bare shoulders, but sits generally away in the back of the box, unheeded and Unnoticed. It is not in such scenes that we 'thseoyer—thenice_girl." It_is at "Home.' Who is it that rises.first in the morning, and getri•the breakfast ready before the family comes down?' Who is it that Makes papa _Loasf, a eludes up IllailllllloS tea. and puts buttons on the boys' shirts, and waters the flowers, and feeds the chickens,: and makes everything bright and comfortable in the par tir ?, Is it the sofa beauty, or the giraffe, or the, elegant creature? By no means. It is the "Mee girl." Iler unaided toilet has been performed in the shortest possible space of time : yet how charmingly her hair is — done up !".how simply elegant is her silk dress and yraiii.'white collar! What hearty kisses she distributes, unasked, among the members of the family. She . dues not present her cheek or her brow,like the "fine girl," but takes the initiative herself, and kisses the boys, one after the other, with an audible .‘smack" that says aloud, "I. love you, ever so much 1" If ever I coveted anytlung in my life, 'it is one of those' kisses from that "nice girl." She troubles no one to "help . the kettle." She has fetched it from the hob, and replenished the teapot, while sonic one has been thinking about offering his assistawie. Breakfast over, She'dives into the kitchen to see about dimmer; and all day long she is running up and down stairs, alwa. s doing something, and always cheerful and light hearted. She is a perfect treasure—the "nice girl" is. 'When illness comes, it is she that attends with unwearying patience the sick chamber. There is no risk. no amount of fatigue that she will not under g o ; no 'sacrifice that she will not mike. She is all love, all devotion. have often thought it would be happiness to be ill, to be watched by such loving eyes, and tended by such fair hands. One of the most strongly marked character istics i)f a "nice girl," is tpline , :s and J itnplit i t-Y-{X-dritss7----S-ite-is-i t tta-r i 14 my mind with a high Prod:, a plain collar, and the neatest of neck-ribbon.:, Isolnd with the modest little brooch in the world. I never knoll• a "nice girl" vet, who dis- p.aye a prolusion 0. rings au' ,rae s, or who wore low-necked dresses, or a splendid bonnet. Nor can I imagine a "nice girl" with urb• —but-this may be a preindiee.----- - I am quite sure. however, that "coaxers," or "e-is"—those fanny little curls Which it has been the fashion to gum upon the cheek with bandoline—are totally inconsistent with the character of a "nice girl." And if any one whmn I have been disposed to regard as a'"nice girl" were to appear with her bonnet .stuck c. 1 .11 14 e t I;elieve 1.1/ her from that moment. The only degree of latitude which. I feel at all dis p)-ed to allow to my 1.) (nt should it Le in thi; ease, hells ~PSI/I—is kid boots with Lolez. There is a nainek*,3 charm “Viut GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA : MONDAY, MAY 12, 1856. tidy feet, which, I believe, the whole world recognizes. I maintain that a neatly booted foot, and a well-shaped ankle, in conjunction with a clean, white petticoat, and a , tight stocking,will nearly make amends for a squint. Young men, is ft not so? yes, you Confess it. -Women, old enough to be your grandmothers, have - piloted you from Pall Mall - to Pimlico- by the sheer force of a neat boot. Such is the influence of tidy ankles. This, however, by the way. I say again, there is nothing in the world half so beautiful; half so intrinsically good, as a "nice girl." She is the sweetest llower in the path of life., There are others._ jar more gorgeous ; but these we merely admire-as we go by. It is where the daisy grows that we lie down to rest. We have observed several wonderful stories of late, respecting the skill' of the Chinese ex ecutioners, who, it is said, can strike off the ads of their victims so skillfully that the poor fellows -theniselves never discover their loss until a moment or two 'after they are dead. We recall to - mind, however, the story of a German executioner, who far surpassed the Chinese in professional dexterity. Upon one Occasion it happened that a criminal, who was coudenmed to death, had a singular itch ing to play at ninepins ; and he implored per mission to play once inure at his favorite game before he died. Then,' he said, be would sub mit: to his fate without a murmur. Thejudge, - thinking there cuuld be no harm in humoring him, granted his last prayer ; -- and, upon ar riving at the plave of eseefition, he found eve rything, prepared for the game—the pins be ing set up and the howls ail ready. Ile commenced his favorite sport with en thusiasm. After a while the •Sheriff, observ ing that he showed no inclination to desist, made a sign to the executioner to strike the fatal blow while he Steoped fur a bowl. The executioner did so, but with such exqUisite dexterity that the culprit (lid nut notice or feel it. Ile thought, indeed, that a:cold breath of air was . blowing upon his neck, and drawing himself back with a shrug, his head dropped forward into his hands. Ile naturally sup posed that it was a bowl which he ha&grasp- Wed, and seizing it firmly rolled it at the pins.. AU of them fell ; and • the head. was -heard to. exclaim, as it rebounded from the farther wall, "Hurrah!

For this prejudice, Mr. B. is indebted to a purchase which he niad during, the "hen fever." Dur ing that excitement.

Ile kept them a year, and suf fered a loss Of ono hundred and twenty-five dollars—twenty-five dollars in feed, ana one hundred dollars for damages, paid to a Mr. Emory, because the "male bird" attacked his little boy, Henry Sylvester, and tore his nose open. =' Since that day ;qr.
