ANGEL-11IIS,I-O. When the twilight weeps 'math her azure veil, And the sweet flowers sigh as the day grows pale, Then an angel corneSoti her silver wine, And tigolden harp in her hand she brings; Soft, sweet and low, Bich numbers flow,. And I hush my breath while the angel sings! Oh! the love-rays fall from her dew-filled eye, Like the soft star beafos from the twilight sky, And she fans my brow with her fragrant' wings, While she gentry strikes on her golden strings Sort, sWeet and low, Rich numbers Gow,, And I weep for joy while the angel ship ! Lijce the soft, south wind, when it - woos the flowers,. Like the glad bird's note in the love-wreathed bowers, Like the thrilling sigh of the wind's harp-strings, Are the rapture-tones that the angel sings ! Soft. sweet and low, Glad breathings flow, - And I dream of love while the angel sings: Like thelplaintire ,voice of the moaning, pine, Like the wild, wild wave of the heaving brine l , Like the groans that sweep on night wind's wing! ) I• the stiauge, sad song that the angelaings ! • - Dark, deep and low, Sad moanings How, er the lust while the angel sings ! Then a lofty strain on the rich harp swells, And the soul of bliss in its music dwells; And the tide of song o'er the glowing strings. Flows fresh and free from the Eden springs ! Soft, sweet and low, Rich breathings flow, And I dream of "leaven while the angel sings ! La Grange, Tenn. Seicct It makes a man of refinement unconsciously double np his fist, to he stopped just as he has parted from a friend, his mother or sister per haps, with, "f say, who is that female ?" But there is another vulgarism iii common custom which quite as much needs reformation—that of gtyling a man's_ wife his •'lady.?' 'Wady" does not mean "wife." It may mean a very dierclsonae. Nor is . every man's wife ipso facto his ' , lady." All' are aware that the stultification of the,,word has materially chang ed.° That from designating a wmnan of high edOcatton. and refinement of manners, it has come to signify "any one that wears a hat Rnd feathers." ft , is for that very reason we object to its being used synonymensly with wife. Our idea of the matter may perhaps be best expressed by' a story we remember to' have seen. The wife of a Dean of the English church, called at a grocer's some distance from her residence and made a -trilling purchase, requesting it might be_sent home, Tlie grocer declined to send it, as the time was worth more than the, purchase. Thinking to-over power him, she Said with an aSsuniption of stately dignity. ".Sit. ant the Dean of —'s lady." The sturdy sbopiaan with alow bow replied: ''lr, you were Ms Reverence's . wife, Ina'tn; I couldn't do. Now we' beseech our young friend - , John Smith. who is enjoying a — .bailey-moon tour with his rosy-cheeked bride, for. heaven's. sake do not write your names at the hotels a.s.'John Smith and lady," but as "Mr: and Mrs. Sin ith," or in plainer "Saxon, "John Smith and wife."

He was two years the. senior of his wife. They had lived in the same farm-house 69 years. They had a family of nine children, the eldest of whom now is 73. and was married when she was fourteen. Orthe grand children there are now 49, the eldest of whom is 56 years.— There are 156 great-grandchildren, and 18 greht-great-grandchildren. The family comes of-tough stock and enjoys iron consti..ntions. This venerable woman can call two hundred and thirty' of her 'lineal pedigree around her Thanksgiving table. Their united ages now atnount to 7,724 years ; so that if ads-family had followed each other consecutively, the first might have been an old lady of 1,709 summers at the day Adam woke up and ate forbidden fruit with his paramour. Our Connecticut old lady intends to take a long journey next week behind the iron horse.' She ought to have a free ticket."
