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 !

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."
A REMARFC..6I,E; 01. I) DY.—We copy the
following from .the Milford Coktra.nt:
.s'o y ginning min. on
necticut, is in her 92d year. Her husband,
Tracy Beeman, died a short time ago. 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."
TEN THOUSAND BLEssixas.—A correspon
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette states that a cler

married a lady with whoth he received the sub

°cooping the pulpit, he zave out a hymn, read
the four first verses., and was proceeding to
read the fifth. commencing,

when he hesitated, baulked. and exclaimed
—"Ahem ! The choir will omit the fifth
verse." and sat down. The congregation at

Young people cannot realize the-importance
of a thorough knowledge of housewifery, but
those who have suffered the inconveniences
and mortifications of ignorance can' well appre

great advantage to them. '
Some mothers give their daughters the care
of - house-keeping 'each week by turns.—lt
