A HaDDv Girl,

Ay, she is happy girl, we know by her
fresh looks and buoyant spirits. Day in and
day out she has something to do and she
takes hold of work as if she did not fear to
soil her hands or dirty her apron. Such girls
we love and respect wherever we find them
in palace or a howell Always pleasant and
always kind, they never turn up their noses
before your face, or SANDER you behind your
back. They have more good sense and bet
ter employment. What are fiirts and hustle
bound girls compared with these? Good for
nothing but to look at, and that is rather dis
gusting. Give US the industrious and happy
girl. and we care not who worships fashionable
and idle simpletons Anon.

ChoIera on the Plains.

From gentleman just down from Council
Bluffs, We learn that the cholera is prevailing
to very considerable extent among the Cali
fornia emigrants on the plains. Our inform
ant saw letter that was dated 80 miles out
in which it was stated that sixteen members
of the Marshall company. from Michigan, had
died of it. Six of another company had also
died of it. and many were down, and Il was
doubtful whether they would recover He
represents the suffering from exposure, and ab-
solute want among the emigrants, to be ex-
treme, and truly deplorable. Many who left
their homes with small means, were Obliged
to spend all they had, and even to sell their
outfits at the points on the Missouri where
they were detained BY the backwardness of
the spring; and were thus left destitute una
BILE alike to proceed or to return. As every
thing in the way of provisions was exorbitsnt-
y high, many, very many, thus stripped of
their all, we're actually suffering from want
Our informant gave us, as an instance Of tho
expense attending reaching and soiourning on
the western frontier, the case of gentleman
from Galena, who left this city in April, with
four teams, and seven hundred dollars in mon
ey with whom he met at Council Bluffs
He had expended all his money, and was
obliged to write to Galena for funds to enable
him to commence his journey. From accounts
that have reached us through various sources,
we shall expect to hear melancholy tidings
from the plains, as the emigration proceed On
their long and fatiguing journey.

Home and Women.

If there has ever been more touching and
eloquent elogium upon the charms of home,
and its dearest treasure, woman. than is con
tanned in the following extract from the Chris
tian Enquirer, it has not been our good fortune
to meet it:
"Our homes what is their cornerstone but
the virtue Of a woman, and on what does So
cial well ll-being rest but our homes? Must we
not trace all other blessings of civilized life to
the doors of our private dwellings,? Are not
our hearth-stones guarded by the holy forms
of conjugal, flial and parental love, the corner
stones of church and state; more sacred than
either, more necessary than both? Let our
temples crumble, and our academies decay !;
let our public edifces our halls of Justice, and
our capitals of state be leveled with the dust !;
but spare our homes Let no socialist invade
them with his wild plans of community Man
did not invent, and he cannot improve or ab-
rogate them A private shelter to cover in
two hearts dearer to each other than all in the
world; high walls to exclude the profane eyes
of every human being; seclusion enough for
children to feel that mother is a holy and pe-
culiar name-this is home; and here is the
birthplace of every virtuous impulse, and ev-
cry sacred thought Here the church and
state must come for their origin and support
OH spare our homes! The love we expert
ence there gives US our faith in an infinite
goodness; the purity and disnterested tender
ness of home is our foretaste and our earnest
of better world. In the relations there es-
tablished and fostered, do we find through
life the chief solace and Joy of existence
What friends deserve the name compared
to those whom birthwright gave us? One
mother is worth thousand friends; one
sister truer than twenty intimate companions
We who have played on the same hearth. un-
der the lights of the same smile, who date
back tothe same scene and season of innocence
and hope, in whose veins runs the same blood,
do we not find that years only make more sa-
cred and more important the tie that binds us
Goodness may spring up, distance may separ-
ate. different spheres may divide; but those
who can love anything, who continue TO love at
all, must find that the friends whom God
himself gave, are wholly unlike any we can
choose for ourselves, and that the yearning
for these is the strong spark in our expiring
affection

what is it to be PoIite9

Politeness is trait which every one ad-
mires, and which confers upon its possessor a
charm that does much to pave the way of
life with success. But it is very much mis-
understood. Politcness does not consist in
wearing white silk glove, and in gracefully
lifting your hat when you meet an acquaint-
ance. 1t does not consist in artificial smiles
and a pleasing fattering speech, but in sin
cere and honest desires to promote the happi-
ness of those around you; in the readiness to
sacrifice your ease and comfort to the enjoy
ment of others. The man who lays aside all
sel6shness in regard to the happiness of 9TH
ers, who is always ready to confer favors, who
speaks in the language of kindness and concil-
iation, and who studies to manifest those lit
tie attentions which CRAFTY the heart, is po-
lite man, though he may wear a home-spun
coat, and make very ungraceful bow. And
many fashionable person who enters the
most crowded apartments with assurance and
ease, is perfect compound of rudeness and
incivilty. He who has heart flowing with
kindness and good will towards his fellow men
and who is guided in the exercise of those
feelings by good common sense, is the truly
polite man-and he alone.

have heard the echo Of fairy songs,
As they Aoated sweety by;
And my heart has filled with responsive tones
To the Poets melody.
She has wreathedt the world with gems aud flowers
They hang in cottage and hall;
And her soft sweet music has gladdened the hours
As il came alike to all.
But change has come-and dolefuI kneII
Sounds on the May-day air,
And form lies cold as a marble cell,
The spirit no longer there.
The ARTIST BRIDK !-TRE PoET WIFE!
Oh the light Of that eye 10 gone!
And mouFnfuly qnenched that fame Of life,
Where genius so brilliantly shown.
The gsEiauds Of love are fallen 20 dust,
And the broken Tyre is still;
Many heart with that blow is crushed;
Eyes with warm tears will fill!
But her name set round with pearls Of love,
Will live as the years go bv;
And her precious thoughts, like the soul above,
Will NEvER-EEVEK DIE!
As the stars, when the moon has gently set,
Shine with clearer light,
So her glowing words, more radiant yet,
Will glitter Increasingly bright.
We bid fafswelto child of earth,
But TO welcome an angel in heaven:
The same sweet spirit that here had birth.
To the seraph band is given.

The Flower that Looks Upward.
A group Of young and ight-hearted girl,
sat together in the twilight, busily arranging
the flowers they had been gathering in the
woods and fields.
'What beautiful things flowers are!" said
lone "And what pleasant amusement il
would be, now that we are all sitting here SC
lquietly, If each were to choose which flower
she would rather be like"
"Just as il there could be any choice" ex-
claimed Laura Bannet little proudly-and
holding up moss rose as she spoke "Amonq
all the flowers that grow, there is none to vie
lin beauty with the rose. Let me be the
Equeen of flowers or monet"
"For my part" observed her sister Helen,
Il should like TO resemble the luxuriant rhod-
odendron, so beautifully described in our book
of flowers. When any one, in passing, shakes
1t roughly, it scatte-s, as we are told, a show
er of honey dew from its roseate cups, and inn
mediately begins TO fill its chalices new with
transparent ambrosia;' teaching US to shower
sweetness even upon the hands that disturb
us, and to fill again with pure honeydrops the
chaiices of our inward thoughts OH who
would not wish to be meek, k,and forgive like the
lrhododendron, if they could? But it is very
difficult" added poor Helen, with tears in her
ewes.
"ltis indeed, said Lucy Neville, gently, 'if
we trust only to our strength. And, who is
there to help us? It's only when my father
looks at me in his grave, kind manner, that
have the slightest control over myself
What pity it is, said Lucy, simply, that we
cannot always remember thatthe eye of our
heavenly Father is upon us'''
Il wish could, replied Helen.
q have heard my mother say" observed
Lucy, ''that praying is better than wishing"
"Now, Clara" interrupted Laura Bennett,
turning impatiently toward fair, gentle look
ing girl by her side, "we are waiting for you"
Clara smiled, and Immediately chose the
pale convolvulus, or bindweed, winding SO
carelessly in and out among the bushes and
hinging over them a graceful covering, an
emblem of meek beauty is" said she, that it
should so soon close up and fade"
"But what says our dear Lucy" exclaimed
Helen.
Il think that 1 can guess" said Clara sey
mour, 'either violet or hearts ease-am 1
right?"
'Not quite" replied Lucy, with a deep
blush, although both the flowers that you
have mentioned are great favorites of mine.
But / should like to resemble the daisy
most because it is always looking upWards
"Do tell me-" said Helen, as they walked
home together, carrying the flowers which
they had gathered to adorn their several
dwellings: ''do tell me why..you wish. Just now,
to be always looking upward like the daisy"
20 Helen, can you ask? What more do
we require for happiness than to be able, let
the cloud be ever SO dark, to look upward with
the eye of faith and say, at is the lords will,
and therefore it is best?
"Do you always think thus ?" asked Helen.
"Alas, mol" replied poor Lucy, while the
tears fell fast; "but l am trying, and praying
to God to teach me-"

It is only shallow-minded pretenders, who
