The Nice Girl.

There is nothing half 80 sweet in life,
half 40 beautlful, o. delightful, or so lovea-
ble as a nice girl Not a pretty or
dasbing, or an elegant girl. bat nice gill.
lint nice girl. One OF those lovely lively,
eood.,em pered, good hearted, sweet faced,
smiable. neat. happy, domestic creatures
met within the sphere OF home, dItfusng
around the domestic hearth the influence Of
her Vnudness like the essence VI sweet
flowers.
A nice girl is not the lsnguishing beau>
ty. dawdlIng on a sofa, and discussing the
last novel OF opera; or the giraffe like crep-
ture sweeping majesticully through draw
ing room. The nice girl may not even
dance or play well. and knows nothing
about using her eyes, cr c,quettinG with
fan. She is not given to sensation novels,
che is too busy. At the opera. she is not
il front showing her bare shoulders, but
sits quietly and unohtusively-a. The back
of the box must likely. In fact. II is not
often-in such scenes we discover her,
Home in her place.
Who rises hetimes, and superintends the
morning meal? Who NJ akes the toast and
the ten and buttons the brys' shirts GEd
waters the flowers, and feeds the chickens
and brightens up the pSrlnr ard sitting
room7 Is il the languisher. Or the giraffe,
or the elegsnteH Not bit Of tit il the
nice girl.
Her unmade toilet is made in the short
est possible time. yet bow charmingly it is
done, and how elegant Der neat tress and
plain-cOlarl Not presenting check or a
blow, IKE the fine girl hut an audi lie
smack which ssys plainly: i love you
ever 80 much If ever coveted anything
it is one OF this giIl's kisses.
Breakfast over, down in the kitchen to
see about dinners always cheerful and light
hearted. She never ceases to be active
and useful until the day is done, when she
will polka with the boys, and sing old
songs, aud play old tunes to her father for
hours together. She is q perfect treasure.
is the nice girl, when illness comes, it is
she who attends with upwenrying patience
TO the sick chamber There is no risk, no
fatigue that she will not undergo. no sacri-
fee that she will rot make. She is all
love. all devotion. l have often thought it
would be happiness to be i'll to be watch
ed by such loving eyes and tended by such
fair hands,
One of the most strongly marked char
acteristics of q nice girl is tidiness and
simI Lefty of dress. Shells ever associated
in my mind with a high frock, plain collar,
and the nestest nf peck ribOns, bound with
the most modest little breach in the world
! never knew nice girl who disI l4yed a
prGfusiou ofrings and bracelets, or who
wore low dresses or splendid bonnet,
I say again, there is nothing in the world
half 50 intrIusicaily good as nice girl. ,
She is the sweetest flower in the path of
life. There are others far more stately far
more gorgeous, but these we merely admire
as We go by. 1t is where the daisy grows
that we lie down TO rest.

To SALT PoRK-Allow a bushel Of salt

weight. The salt called-.clGrse fine. ia
commonly used by butchers; but the best
way'in a private family, where no more
than twenty-five or fifty weight is put
down for the years use, is to use fine salt.
Put water enough to cover it. Examine
it in few days, and if the salt is all dis.
solved, add more. The only sure way Of
keeping pork sWest is to have the brine go
strong that some OF the salt remains undis-
solved. A board With stone upon it,

Young lady was procured to teach the

make a circuit Of few miles to avoid pas

teachers in this section are the pride Of the
country ard are possessed of all the
charms and graces imaginable. All at

of his courage, after turning back several
times, he found himself inside the school
