A Nice Girl.
Though that desirable class of girls is
by no means extinct, still they are not so
numerous as might be wished. There is
nothing half so sweet in life, half so beau
tiful or so lovable, as a nice girl. One of
those lovely, lively, good hearted sweet
faced, amiable, neat, natty, domestic crea
- IWP* met yvithin the sphere of 'home,* d;f»
using around the influence of her goodness,
like the essence of sweet flowers.
A nice giil is nut the languiging beauty,
dawdling on a sofa, and discussing the
| last novel or opera, or the giraffe—like
creature sweeping majestically through the
drawingroom. The nioe girl may not even
play or dance well, and knows nothing
about using her eyes or coquetting with a
fan. She never languishes, she is too act
ive.‘ She is not given to sensation novels,
she is to busy. In public she is not in
front, showing her shoulders j site sits qui
et and unobstrusive at the back of Vie
crowd most likely. In sac% it is not often
we discover her. Home id her place.
Who rises betimes and superintends tl:«
morning meal ? Who makes the toast and
the tea, and buttons the boy's shirts, and
waters the flowers and feeds the chickens,
and brightens up the parlor and sitting
room ? Is it the languisher, or the giraffe,
or the ‘elegant V Not a bit of it; it is the
nice young girl.
Her maiden toilet is made ru the shortcut
possible time, yet how charmingly it is
done, and how elegant her neat dress and
collar 1 Not presenting her cheek or brow,
like a ‘fine girl* but an audible srn ick which
soys plainly, ‘I love you ever so much. 1 If
you Covet anything, it is one of the nice
young girl's kisses.
Breakfast over, down in the kitchen to
see about dinner, and all day long she is
up and down always cheerful and light
hearted. She never ceases to be active

polka with the boys, or read, sing old songs
and play old tunes to her father and moth*
er for hours together. She is a perfect
treasure, is the nice girl. When sickness
comes it is she who attcuds with uuwear*
ing patience in the sick chamber. There
is no risk, no fatigue that she will not un
dergo j no sacrifice she will not make.
She is all love, all devotion. I have often
thought it would be happiness to be ill, to
be watched by such loving eyes, and tend -
ered by such a fair hand.
One of the most strongly—m arked char
acteristics of a 'uice girl* is tidiness and
simplicity of dre4s. She is invariably as
sociated in my mind with a high frock,
plain collar, and the neatest of Meck«rib
bons, bound with the most modest little
brooch in the world. I never new a ‘nice
gill* who displayed a profusion of rings
and bracelets, or who Wore low dresses or
a splendid bonnet.
I say again, there nothing in the world
half so beautiful, half so intrinsically g<*<xl,
as a ‘nice girl.* She is the sweetest fl >wer
in the path of life. There are others far
more stately, far more gorgeous, but these
we merely admire as we go by. It is
where the daisy grows that we like to
rest.
Embarrassing —The Washington Star is
responsible for the following—at least, we
have seen it in no other paper :
Out in Ohio, some time since, twenty
Baptist clergymen, who were attending a'
convention, went down to a secluded spot
on the river bank in the afternoon tor the
purpose of taking a swim. These ecorc of
brethren removed their clothing and placed
it upon the railroad track close at hand,
because thegiass was wet.. Then they
entered the water and enjoyed themselves.
Presently an ciptess train came around
the curve at the rate of forty miles an hour,
and before any of the swimmers could
reach dry land all their undershirts and
socks and things were fluttering from the
cow-catcher and speeding onward toward
Kansas. It was painful for the brethren
exceedingly painful—because all tbe cloth*
ing that could be fodfctf, after a careful
search, was a sou umbrella and a pair of
eye glases. And they do say that when
those twenty marched home by tbe the re
fulgent light of the moon tbat evening, in
siugle file, and keeping close together the
most familiar acquaintance with tbe Zm
ffve drill, on tbe part of the man at tbe
head with tbe umbrella, still hardly suf
ficed to cover them completely, they said
they felt couspicnous, somehow; and the
situation was all tbe mote embarrassing
because all the Porcas society, and wo
man's rights conventions, and the popds at
the female boarding schools, seemed to be
pranciog around the streets and rQDuing
across the route of the parade.

A iifci.Lß as is a Belle. —in eoneiusi| » t let
me give you another incident of the l|‘e, of
a Long Branch belle. I was stre Hug
through the bar room of the Continental
Hotel last evening, when gaf|tpo<
up to the door, and a young lady
from the saddle unaided. She was drj ssed
in full iid ! ,ug h ibit, an 1 whjn hor,

brought up among horses all her lifetime
had no sooner gone than she de
liberately walked up -to the bar, in compa
ny with a gentleman, who met her at the
door, and called tors glass of bottled ale,
and, what is more, she stood at the coun
ter until she had drained the last drop out,
and until the gentlem m, wh > dida’tedriiik,
had paid for it. This young lady belongs
to the best paying parties stopping at tile
Branch, and is a lady /in the ordinary ac
ceptance of the term In the face of her
bar room feat, whit becomes of the beau*
ties who, they say, horrified a foreigner
here tide other day by drinking punches out
on the lawn ? Are we not living in an age
of progress?—Correspondence of the N. Y;
Herald*
Styles of Handwriting.— The names on
the register of the Saratoga hotels, says
the Saratogian, are quite a study. By
careful attention it will be noticed that on
an average, persons hailing from varioifs
sections of the country diff.r in style of
penmauship. New Yorkers are the best
penmen ; Philadelphians effect the back
slope a good deal ; Bostonians write a
Declaration of Independence hand, not very
legible ; Southerners don't swing so care
lessly a quilt generally as their Northern
brethren ; Chicagoans apparently try to see
how gracefully aud unintelligibly they can
pen their autographs while Cincinnatians
and, YYextern men irenurallv. i*-f*
deal as they build citioa, »u a hurry ; Al
banians, and Trojans are among the poor*
est writers, but they excel the West Tro
jans, whose stylo is hardly above *bis
mark j‘ those from the smaller towns take
more pains and separate their letters accor
ding to rule, and then spoil their work by
a flourish or an insane capital like a mile
post in their name ; Cubans apd Spaniards
write a delicate hand, similar to a lady’s,
hut not clear always to the common Yan
kee porcoption. Canadians and Europe-,
aus adhere to the old-fashioned style, and
take it for granted that everybody should
know how to make‘Brown’ out of 'Smith.’
Loosing Up- —At a sheriff’s sale on Mon*
day last a tract of laud adjoining town
brought sixty-eight dollars and fifty cents
per aero. Tips looks well for old Quincy.
By*th< -by. we have for sometime no
ticed a steady advance in the price of re si
estate, both iu and out of town.
May not the time be fast approaching
when, Piice nx like, our lofe!y village will
again spring forth iu all her pristine
beauty. The railroad to Chattahoochee is
nearly completed, aud the one to Bain
bridge soon to follow, when the iron horse
will be heard coming from all directions
laden with living and other freight to an
extent that will astoni-h all. We have a
conti oiling position, one that most com
mand trade, and which will be felt favora
bly as soon as the railroad enterprises now
on foot, and which must of necessity pass
through our town shall be completed.
In the meantime let us stand firm by our
homes —make such improvements thereto
as may be in our power, and await events.
No such advantages as are posessed by
Quincy will long be overlooked by the pub
lic.—Quincy Journal.
Wanted This looks tempting at first
sight r “A young lady in Philadelphia ad
vertises that she will give $30,000 to any
respectable yonng man who will marry
her.** But by the Wisdom teeth of Mam
mon, what sort of a girl can it be who is
unable to secure a husband with her $30,-
000, without having to throw iu a dollar
or so mote of inducement in the shape of
advertising ? Besiderf, if any ‘respectable*
young man was so very weak as to be
taken in by her, everybody would at once
cease to respect him, and then where would
she be! On the whole, she had better
send us a draft foi the amount. We can
answer for its being bestowed on a worthy
object Look at ns I—Exchange.
A report is current iu France that George
Sand (M‘me Dudevant) has beoorae arde*
rout Catholic. She has recently had sev
eral long interviews with Archbishop Gui*
bert, formerly Bishop of Tours, ihe city
which she has spoken of in her writings as
the most pleasant place in France.
Advestlsixo.— there is a class of persons
who imagine they are doing very judicious
ly by advertising through the medium of
circulars. They scatter a few thousand
through the city, announcing their busi
ness, aud await the result, fully convinced
that in so .doing they have taken all nece*-
saiy preliminaries to success. Yarious
are almost daily to be L uuJ, on
the door stsps and entry ways of respecta
ble houses. Their fate is generally, that
they are either thrown into the street by
the indignant servant girl who answers the
bell, or summarily pitched aside bj the
man of the house who finds them wheu he
returns home, and who desires no sugges
tions of new methods of lightening his
purse. The use of circulars may, in cer
tain limited cases, answer every purpose ;
bCt a vast maj >rity of those who have made
money by advertising hive found that the
columns of a newspaper are the best arid
surest, and in the eud the cheapest medium
of communication between the business
world and the public.— Telegraph, Harris
burg, Pa.
If an editor omits anything, be is lacy.
If he speaks of things as they are, people
are mad. If he glosses over—smooths
down the rough points—he is bribed. If
be calls things by theii proper names, he
is unfit for the position of an editor. If he
does not furnish his readers with jokes, he
is a mullet. If he does, he is a rattlehead
—lacking stability. If he condemns the
wrong, he is a good fellow ; but lacks dis
cretion. It he lets wrongs and injuries go
unmentioued, lie is a coward. If he fails
to uphold a public man, he does it to gratify
spite—is a tool of a clique, or belongs to
the ‘outs.* If he indulges in personalities,
he is a blackguard , if be does not, his
paper is dull and insipid.

Unfortunate and Fatal Affair. —We
have indefinite particulars of a most un
fortunate and fatal affair which transpired
on Saturday last, at the residence of Dr.
VY. Carr, near Sandersville, Washington
county. It appears that Dr. Carr and his
son-in-law Mr. Seatou Grantland (Dußig
nern,) had a few angry Words betWeeu them
in regard to the attendance of a physician
who had been summoned to sec Mrs. Grant
land, who was sick. The quarrel origi
nated at Dr. Carr's residence, and soon af
ter Grantland,left the house, and had pro
ceeded some fifty or one hundred yards, he
was followed by Dr. Carr, when a fight
ensued, it is thought, (as no one witnessed
the difficulty,) in which Grantland was
shot and almost instantly killed. Both
parties aro well known here to many of our
citizens and both occupiec. high social po
sition in life.
Deceased was christened after birth' as
Seaton Grantland Doßignon, but by act of
Legislature the name of Dußignon was
dropped. His remains were buried on
Monday last, in the Milledgeville cemetery.
The unfortunate affair is generally lamen
ted and has produced a gloom in the hearts
of many relatives and friends. The fore
going is given as it was reported us, bat
oar informant was not certain as to some
of the minor details of the affair—Macon
Telegraph.
According to Edmond About, wtro has
written anew book, entitled ‘‘ Woman Un
der the Second Empire,' in which are given
many spicy revelations about the influence
of certain ladies at the Tuileries upon the
political action of the ex Emperor, says the
German Princess Metteruicb was the cause
of the Franco-German war, which was de
bated by Napoleon at her instigations.

A Good Doctor.
An exchange gives its readers some ad
vice how to choose a doctor. Toe advice
is as good for the doctor as for the paticut.
Here it is :
Avoid a mean man, for you may be sure
he will be a mean dootor, just ns certain
a* he would boa tncau bu-band.
Shun a doctor that you can buy to help
yon out of a scrape—a good doctor cannot
be bought.
Avoid the untidy, coarse, blundering
fellow, foi the man who is clumsy iu hitch
ing his horse, you may be sure is uot han
dy at midwifery or surgery.
Avoid the doctor who flatters you aud
humors your appetites.
Avoid the empty blow boro who boasts
of his numerous cases aud tell you of see
in forty or fifty patients a day while he
spemds two hours to convince you of the
fact* Put him down as a fool.
To bes good doctor, one must first be a
man iu the true sense of the word.
He should boa moral man, honest in his
dealings.
He must have good sense, or he connot
be a good doctor.
He should be strictly temperate. No
ouc should trust his life in tne bauds of an
intemperate doctor.
It is a good sign if ho tells you how to
keep well.
It is a good sign if the members of his
owu family respect bin.
It i* a good sign if the children like
him.
It is a good sign if he is neat and handy
in makiug pills and folding powders.
It is a good sign if he is still a student,
and keeps posted in all the latest irnprov|j
ments known to the profession for allevia
ting human suffering.
bridled career"—never marry.
If you are out in a driving storm, don't
attempt to hold the rains.
The last cup of a frolic is generally the
hiccup.
Laugh at no man for his pug nose—yon

forty glasses of water daily has recently

In an old Boston tavern the lollowing

On one of the late terribly hot days, a
little boy of three years and a half, who
was perspiring very freely, ran in to his
mother, saying, "O mamma, I's leaking all
over."
Pride is increased by ignorance j those
who usually know the least.
Clxrk vs. Mechanic —Oue of the crying
evils of the times is the disposition on tbe
part of parents to establish tboir children
in a business or profession where manual
labor is neither essential nor requisite to
insure success. This disposition is to be
deprecated, A careful c-nnparisoti of the
salaries of clerks and mechanic# will
convince tbe most sceptical that the
in the long ran, have tha best opportu
nities torise in the world,'* tbe evident
aim, and frequently the sole object of the
fond parents alluded to. The notorious
fact that, an adveitisement for a clerk elicits
a score of eager applications where sd
advertisement for a first-class mechanic
elicits one speaks volumes, and is in itself a
sufficient commentary. Recently we were
informed that upwards of fifty applications
wers received in this city for a vacant petty
clerkship in the disposal of one of oar gov
eminent offices. This statement does not
reflect credit upon onr system of education.
Labor should be held respectable. When
it is discounted our institutions are in dair
get. Plainly, the country needs more skill
ed mechanics, more practical workers.
Tbe disconnt should be taken from tbe loon
gen.—American Manufacturers Review.
