00, LIT THE ANGELS Iff. A little girl who was about to expire, laid to her mother, “Now, mother. I'm dying, open the door and let tha angel, in—they’re coma to taka me home." Go open wide tha door, mother, And let the angels ia; They art so bright and fair,mother, So pare and free from aio. I bear them speak my name, mother, They softly whiaper, -Come I” O, let the angela in, mother. They’re eome to take me home.' I know that death haa coroe, mother, Hie bend is on my brow ; You cannot keep me here, mother— For I must leave you now. 'The room ie growing dark, mother— -1 thought I heard yon weep; 'Tis very sweet to die .mother. Like sinking into steep! I now most say farewell, mother, For I am going home 1 Now open wide the door, mother, And let the sngela cornel And let them bear me far away, Up to the world of love, The city where the angels stay, The brighter world above A GEVTLEXAX SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED WHEREVER FOUND. The following is from the pen of Oeo. D. H. Hill, io the August number of "The Land We Love.” “Wa have been asked by a lady friend bow we ought to treat “our late enemies.” As bar letter is with out a signature, we suspect that tbero may be some tenderness in the inquiry, and will therefore deal tenderly with the sub ject. “It is a safe rule to recognize the gen tleman and man of honor where found, of whatever oreed, sect, or nation. We can not understand how men, who have fought each other squarely and bravely, can con tinue to hate each other after hostilities have ceased. But we can understand bow good tnep of both sides can loathe, with bitter toothing, houseburneri, thieves and maraudert. We can understand the con tempt honest men fuel for the cowardly miscreants who kept out of the manly light to trample upon and insult the weak er party after the fight was over. W« could remind our lady friend that if the United States army had in it Sherman, Turchin and Butler, it had also McClellan, Duel, Reynolds. Rykes, Gibbon, Stonemau, Franklin, See., wbo conducted war upon oivllized prinoiplea and had no defilement of torches and ailver spoons upon their hands. We have heard a story of that great alateman and jurist, Judge Butler, of South Carolina, which may assist the fair lady in ooming to a decision. • When the Jujgr, then Mr. 11., wa» practicing law, a ton of the Emerald Isle came into his of fice and used some very harsh language, in regard to a charge made against him by the firm of Butler & Cos. Mr. B. indig nantly ordered him out of the office. The man instantly obeyed, but returning ho put his head in the door and said : “Mis tier Butler, you’re a jinlleoan, and I will never hurt the likes ov you, but If you’ll •ond ryour'parlnership out here, I’ll bteak every bone in hit body." The Southern people have no ill feelings toward the sol diers and true gentleman among their late foes, but we can never think of "the part, nersbip” without thinking of Judge But ler’s Irishman.” Advice to Young Men.— A lady, who signs herself “A Martyr to Late Hours,” of fers the following sensible suggestions to young men who are in the habit of pro tracting their visits ton late hour of the night: Dear gentlemen, between the ages of •eighteen and forty-five,’ listen to a few words of gratuitous remarks. When yon make a social call of an evening on a young lady, go away at a reasonable hour. Say you come in at 8 o’clock, art hour and a half is certainly as long as the most fasci nating of you in conversation can or rath er ought to desire to use his charms. Two houra, indeed, can bo very pleasantly spent with music, chess or other games to lend variety; but. kind sirs, by no nteans stay longer. Make shorter calls aud oftener. A girl—that is, a sensible, true-bearted girl —will enjoy it better, and really value your acquaintance more. Just conceive the agony of a girl who, well knowing the foeliugs of father and mother upon the sub ject, beats the clock toll 10, Rnd yet must sit on the edge of her chair in mortal ter rjr lest papa should pot his oft repeated 'bteat into execution that of coming down and inviting the gentleman to breakfast. And we girls understand it all by expe rience, and w hat it is to dread the prognos tic of displeasure. In such cases a sigh of relisf generally accompanies tU closiug of the door behind the g.llaut, aud one don’t get over the feeling of trouble till safe iu the arms of Morpheus.— Lynchburg Hr ginitin. ••Editing • newspaper it a good deal like making a fire. Everybody supposes that he can do it a little letter than any body else. We have seen people doubt their fitness for apple peddling, or driviug, or counting laths ; but, in all our experi ence, we never met with that individual who does not think he could double the circulation cf any paper in two months.” Tbm Education or Weirs*.—ln a book entitled ‘The Highest Education of Women,'by Miss Emily Davie*, jam pub lished in London, occurs the following sug gest ire paragraph : "In the education of girls the selection of subjects seems to be directed by no prin ciple whatever. Strong protests are raised against assimilating it to that of boys; but very little is said as to the particulars in which it ought to differ. The present dis tribution is, indeed, somewhat whimsical. Inasmuch as young men go into offices where they hope to conduct foreign corres pondence, and, as they travel about all over the world, they are taught the dead languages. As woman’s place is the do mestic hearth, and as middle-class women rarely see a foreigner, they are taught modern languages with a special view to facility in speaking. As men are supposed to work with tbeir heads all day, and have nothing in the world to do when they are indisposed for reading, but to smoke or go to sleep, they are taught neither music nor drawing. As women have always the re source of needlework, they learn music and drawing besides. As women are not ex pected to take part in political affairs, they are taught history; as men do, boys are taught mathematics instead. In physical science, astronomy and botany are consid ered the ladies’department; chemistry and mechanics, being the branches most direct ly applicable to domestic uses ; are reser ved for boys.’’ Thaddeus or Warsaw. —Some few years ngo there was a notary public at Washington City, an old and highly re spected gentleman, wbo had held his of fice through all the political twisting* and turnings of that capital for nearly twenty years. A young friend was in hit office o6e day, end while sitting by the table, picked up a small, old, leather covered book, which, upon being opened, proved lo be “Thaddeus of Warsaw.” He cautious ly remarked to Mr. Smith, the notary— “l see you have a copy of ‘Tbadtleus of Warsaw’ here.” “Thaddeus of Warsaw !” waa the reply ; “whet do you mean ?” "Why, this is a copy of it" “Thaddeus of Warsaw !" exclaimed the old geutleman. lie snatched the book, gave one glance at it, and cried out, ’’For twenty years I have been swearing people on that book, thinking it was the Bible ! All these oaths ain't worth tbo paper they’re written on.” Bnowxi.ow’s Balance Sheet.—Blas phemous Urownlow, in his Cleveland speech last week, discoursed of bis future state as follows : “If God, in Ilia providence, should call me off, I have no fears of the consequen ces beyond the grave. If the books have been correctly kept in the upper world, as I have no doubt they have boon, there will boa small balance in my favor.” The “small balance” in hia favoi includes, probably, hie Philadelphia statement that he “had rather go to hell with *loyal ne • groes than go to heaven with rebel whites.” There were lour good habits a wise man earnestly recommended io his counsels, and which he considered to be essentially necessary for tbo managements of our tom. poral concerns; for these are punctuality, accuracy, steadiness and dispatch. With out the first of these, time is wasted ; with out the seootid, mistakes the most hurtful to our own credit and interest and that of others, are committed ; without the third, nothing can well done; and without the fourth, opportunities of great advantage are lost which it is impossible to recall. Worth tub Charm. —Young men are mistaken when they think good looks tbeir priuoipa! recommendation to woman. A woman admires a handsome man for a time, but it needs something more than a good looking faoe to retain this feeling. A woman is, as a general rule, more strong ly drawn by the intellectual qualities of the opposite sex, than by anything else. What is above said, is also truo of the gen tler sex. A Western editor lately lost his sweet heart, but be has all that made her lovely. He lias her curls, her frizzle, her waterfall 1 lie has her spiral palpitators, her store teelli and her calves. He has put all ’.’nings in their order—has them hunjj on wires and intends to melt a little girl and pour her ipto the filings and have another Ma- I riuda. A tnan frequently says : ‘Ye», she is To ry beautiful, but thank lleaveu sbe isn’t my wife!’ Women like to be admired for tlieir loveliness, and we do not mean to blame them for it; but it requires some thing more thsu mere beauty to enable thcui to retain tbeir influence over man.’ "Has your sister got a son or a daugh ter I* asked an Irishman of a friend.— "Upon my life,” was the reply, "I don’t ■know whether I'ain uncle or aunt.” Who ever is oorteous, honest, frank, sin cere, truly honorable, generous and caudidi is a true gentlemau, whether rich, learned or a laborer. The Greatest Oculist in the World.— Hymen ia the name that this distinguished individual is known by; be always ‘opens the eye' who is universally represented a* blind, until Hymen bad tried his hand on him. An old gentleman who had dabbled all bis life in statistics, rays he never heard of but one woman who insured ber life. He accounts for this by the singular feet of one of the questions being, ‘What is your age?’ An old author quaintly remarks! ‘Avoid arguments with ladies. In spin mg yarns among silks and satins, a man is to be worsted and twisted. And wben a man worsted and twisted, be may consider him self wound up.’ We tremble, says an exchange, for the husbands of fashionable wives next sum- mer.
