THE ANGELS.
Some time since we copied beautiful
incident from the local columns of the
New Orleans Courier. Here is another
equally touching, and from the same
source:
We are not fond of detailing the
scenes of that last struggle with the Great
Archer, before mortality puts on immor-
lality; but in a season like the present,
where no one who interests himself In
the great charities of this city, fails daily
TO witness such events, now and then one
occurs that IS pleasing and instructive to
relate. Such was the death-bed scene
of Emma b. a flaxen-h haired, black
eyed, sunny-faced Gamsel of seven sum-
mers, was Emma-the light of her moth
er's household, and the favorite of all
who knew her. The fever entered the
famiIy-a brother, cousin and aunt went
down into the dark valley, before the pes
thence developed itself n the life blood
of liltle Emma.
The disease was in rapid progress,
and yesterday we stood by the bedside
of the little sufferer. Her tangled hair
fioated over her shoulder, the rose-tinted
cheek had become waxen, the change
was evidently near Suddenly from u
deep stupor she reused into an attitude
of the utmost attention. The eyes spar
kled like diamond in gas light, and
slight tlnge of pink appeared on her
cheek, as she sprang up whispering with
subdued interest -" Hark the sky is full
o. music. 1t Is the angels; they come
into the room; they come around the bed );
o. II 5 brother, cousin, aunt, and many,
many more" She stretched out her
hand, her face dimped with heavenly
smile, and with the exclamation " | comet"
she sank back Upon the bed. The vital
spark had fled, but there was none of the
deformty of death there. A seraphic
smile dwelt upon the features, and they
/ still bore the same exultant expression
as when she uttered, '' come :" In res
ponse 10 the invitation of the angels
Death had daguerreoiyed a smile as be
! gave lie TO another angel"

Trustees of institutions of learning
throughout the West are beginning 10
find out that an occasional flash from the
pulpit Is, after all, very poor qualifica-
,ion for the management OF college
Ii is good in lis place, but cannot be sub
stituted for promptness and untiring ac-

grow.
Our seminary located In this place is
IN good condition, as far as pupils and
teachers are concerned. The following

l Our financial affairs are embarrassing
Those who subscribed complain they are
unable to pay, and few, strange 10 say

If the Wes. Wisconsin Conference
