Kittie is Gone.

The following beautiful and touching
prose poem was written by Mr.. William
B. Bradbury, the music composer, on the
death of his daughter, aged Ave years and
seventeen days.
Kitsie is gone. Wherea TO heaven.
An angel came and took her away. She
vas lovely child-gentle rs lamb; the
pet Of the whole family; the youngest Of
them all. But she could not stay with M
any longer. She had an angel sister in
heaven who was waiting in heaven many
years, and she must have loved Kittie, for
every body loved her. The loveliest Aov-
ers are often soonest plucked. IL . little
voice sweeter and more musical than 9th
ers was heard, ! knew Kittie was near.--
If my study door opened so gently and
slyly that no sound could be heard, I knew
Kittie was coming. If after an bour's
quiet play, little shadow passed nae, and
the door opened and shut as no one elss
could open and shut it, $50 as not todisturb
papa,' knew little Kittie was going.
When in the midst Of my composing,
heard gentle voice saying, @Papa, may
stay with you little whilel / will 10
very still" did not need to look off my
work to assure me that it was my little
lamb.
You stayed with me too long. Kittie dear,
to leave me so suddenly and you are too
still now. You became my little assistant,
my home angel-my youngest and sweet
est singing bird, and Lmiss the little voies
that have heard in the adjoining roou
catching up and echoing little snatches d
neIouy -baiafs composed
miss those soft and sweet kisses. ! mis-
the little hand that was always first to b,
placed en my forehead, to drive away th,
pain. / miss the sound of those little fee
upon the staiz- ! miss the hstle knock q
my bedroom door in tho morning, and tn,
triple good night kiss in the evening.
miss the suniest of faces. miss-oh hov
l miss the foremost in the little group VII,
came out to meet me at the gate for th'
FIRST kiss. I do not stoop so low now, Kit
tie, 70 give that first kiss. l miss yoo q
the table, and at family worship. / mis-
your voice in 'Iwant to be an angel, 70
nobody could sing it like you. miss yo'
in my rides and walks. miss you in N,
garden. | miss you everywhere; but
will try not to miss you in heaven.
Papa, if we are good, will an ange

made without fearful loss, ard is just
what the rebels desire. That to drive
back the rebels of Kentucky and Tenn.
essee, would expose Richmond and Man
assas, and involve the capture Of those
points without blow. That the plan Of
operations on the coast is just what is
needed to divide and distract the rebels,
and end the rebellion without the fear
full sacrifice Of life that an advance on
the Potomac would entail. They declare
that the object of the war is the recon
struction of the Union, and that the Pres.
ident justly realizes that this can be
more quickly and more surely done BY
holding fast to constitutional forms than
by vindictive measures Of confscation
and emancipation. This party seems to
be gaining strength in Congress, for we
heard member of that body. who, like
the majority of the people Of the country,
believes that the best way to forever
crush out rebellion against the govern
ment, is to destroy slavery, say that
while, at the opening of Congress, the
great mass of that body were cordially
favorable to bill emancipating the slaves
Of Rebels, he found that every day some
knees were giving way. and he was very
much afraid that the measure would fail.
Whether this change arises through a
better understanding Of the position Of
the contest, or from simple Difference to
the plans of the administration, at the
sacrifice Of judgment, certainly the
change has taken place. Still it is GER
tain that this border State policy-as it
is called-of conducting the war, does
not meet tie appreciation of many, if not
the mass, of the political friends Of the
administration in both branches Of Con-
gress.
But | have strung this out so long
that | must close, RETAINING from saying
many things which would like to say,
To morrow we start for New York, and
in few days for home.

A HINT To TIE LADrEs.-Don't
make your rooms gloomy. Furnish
them for light and let them have it
Daylight is very cheap, and candle or
gas light you need not use often. If
your rooms are dark, all the effect OF
furniture, pictures, walls, and carpets
is lost. Finally, if you have beautiful
things make them useful. The FASH
ion Of having a nice palor, and then
shutting it up all but three or four days
in the year, when you have company ;
spending your own life in mean room,
shabbily furnished, or an unhealthy
basement, to save your things, is the
worst possible economy. Go g little
further-shut up your house and live
in a pig-pen ! The use of nice and
beautiful thingsis to act upon your spirit
Ito educate you and make you beau

That in the heart doth bloom,
A sacred gift from heaven sent
To cheer our heurs of gloom.
How sweet it is for US TO love,
And know that we are loved again;
How beautiful to see true hearts
Linked fast with friendships chain.
More precious far than diamonds rare
Is one true loving heart,
That will in hours of deepest gloom,
The balm Of love impart.

And all my life may employ f
