A CIIILD-ANGEL.*
NJ PARK BENyAMIs.

Z" Joan, to be an angel" said child,
As on his mother's face he looked and smiled.
II was tie twilight's hour, and Evenings shade
Fell, like sweet peace, on stream and hill ana
glade;
One after one the stars broke in the sky,
And tender airs came mirmuring softly by.
The Night was holy--shedding such light
As beaned ON Bethlehem in the hoest night.
Der all the heavens the chiid's beseeching eyes
Wandered in silence, full of deep surprise;
lie watched and marvelled, ill his soul ran o'er
With joy and hope and love ne'er felt before
"What means my son 7" the mother mildly sad
And the young child declined his little head
Whispering once more in sorrowful reply,
81 want to be an angel and to die"
4" And why, my darling 7" because Heaven IS
there,
High up beyond those stars, so pure and fair,
Where angels live and love the God, who gave
His word to comfort and his Son to save ~
The mother called him to her knee and wcpt--
Wept with the child till he sank down, and slept
Upon her bosom; then she meekly rose,
And took him to his chambers calm repose.
She knelt and prayed such prayers as mothers
pray
That God would guide him through Liie's thorny
way,
That he might give his heart to God, and stand
Forever gazing on the blessed land !
A few brief months passed DER the boy-and 10
Gone from his eyes was their translucent glow
White were his cheeks, his lips all thin and pale,
Like roses blanched by Winters early gale.
Sick uuto death he ay-but no alarms
Could fright her darling in his mothers arms.
Still on her face he fondly looked and smiled
Pm going to be an angel" said the child

and touching incident.

TIE PORE AT RoME.-The Pope
has finally got back to Rome.-Ilis re-
ception was apparently very enthusi-
astic, aid the display most gorgeous
The population turned out en- masse to
receive him. AS he passed Oh, the
troops presented arms, and every one
knelt. He drew up in front of the
Municipality, the carriage door was
opened, and then the scene which en-
sued was without parallel every one
rushed forward to kiss the foot which
he put out.
When the host was raised the effect
was grand in the extreme. The Pope,
with all his subjects, bowed their heads
to the pavement, and the crash Of arms
was succeeded by the most perfect si-
lence. The next ceremony was the
benediction Of the people from the
Palace, which is situate on the extreme
height Of the town. Nerving myself
for this last effort, | struggled and STUN
bled up the hill. There the thousands
from the country and neighborhood
were assembled, and IN few minut
the Pope arrived. In the interval all
the lacades Of the houses had been it,
Illuminated, and the light on the various
picturesque groups and gay uniforms
was very striking. A burst of music
and fresh cannon announced the ar
rival of His Holiness. He went
straight into the Palace, and in few
moments the priests with the torches
entered the small chapel which was
erected on the balcony. The Pope
followed, and then arose one shout,
such as was never heard another and
another, and all knelt, and not whis-
per was heard. As the old man
stretched out his hands to bless the
people, his voice rung clear and full in
the night.
"Sit nomen Del benedictum."
And the people, with one voice, replied
Ex hoe ct nunc ct in seculum."
Then the Pope
Auditorium nostrum in nomine Domini :"

"Qui fect cor lm ct terram."

NJ The numerous ihehs which have
been committed in this town, during the
last two or three weeks, ought to be warn
ing to our citizens to keep their doors con-
s,anly fastened. 1t is an easy matter to
have a hight-lock upon a door, which will
fdsten itself when the door is Shut and il
may be unlocked by small key, from the
outside, by those who have occasion to pass
in and out often.
In this connection, we again urge upon
our citizens the importance Of establishing
a Night atch during the summer just IN
proportion as the Town is filled with s,ran-
gers, shall we also be visited by thieves and
rogues of all kinds these are the necessary
attendants of the crowds which assemble
where Fashion beckons her v0taries. The
once pleasant security and qoiet air of
Newport is fast vanishing. and we are hav-
ing introduced here all manner OF vices
Daring the last year or two, several houses
Of ill-fame have been kept in the mos, pub
lie parts Of the town, where females Of
abandoned and infamous characters have
reveIed in all the obsceniiy and sensualism
which degraded humanity is capable Of
Young men have been eniiced into these
de6s,-and not only young men, bu, mere
boys, and here they are pursuing course
which is running their constitutions, and
damning their very existence. Yet these
sinks of iniquity are permitted 10 exist. eY-
erting. as they do, their bareful and fearful
influence around in various directions Re-
spectacle faTilies who live in the vicinity
of these brolhcls are annoyed, and virtuous
women are compelled to he eye-witnessrs
of scenes which cannot but disgust. Why
are these things permitted 2 The law is
ample for the protection Of the community,
and the preservation Of the moral a,mos-
phere from the iniasma which arises from
such reservoirs Of corruption. Let the evil
be remedIed, and let these houses Of ill-fame
be broken up It is a matter 10 which the
whole community, particularly men who
have families, should lie interested, and
they should all lend their assistance for the
accomplishment Of 50 desirable a reform.
