The Little Girl with the Curtesy
A few days since, while enjoying the luxu-
~ OF horse and carriage, as l leisurely
Journeyed through one of the towns of this
county, met with an incident of rare lint
peculiar interest. 1t was not the calm. still
morning; 1t was not the clear blue sky; it
was not the bright and beautiful sun shining
serehely IN the east; it was not the rich and
varied melody Of the natural world, which
most touched my heart. But it was a sweet
little school girl, on her way to the village
school. To one whose pleasantest hours
were spent within the walls of district school
house. there is always something like swell
ing OF the heart which is occasoned by the
sight OF little children making their way
thlther; their bright, smiling faces, and their
cheerful tones Of joy and hope, are always
luxury to see and hear and teach the sympa-
thetic, reflective man to take more cheering
views OF the humanity around him.
On the morning referred to, after passing
numerous children, without meeting one to-
Ken OF reverence or recognition, | was i'm
pressed with the department of quiet little
girl who was passing alone. As passed she
stopped, dropped "A graceful curtesy, and
passed on. | should have en- worse than A
heather had not returned the compliment
by as graceful bow as l could upon SO
short notice. | may never see that little
girl again, but l thank her for that well bred
action. 1t went to my heart like the echoes of
strains of melody, sweet but almost forgotten,
In moment the scenes of by gone days
were all fresh befUre me, with the troops of
laughing girls and boys who hushed their
mirth to pay similar tribute of respect to
their seniors and strangers. The girls and
boys OF those days were only carrying out the
instructions Of their parents and teachers. but
the practice was always pleasant one, and
might almost be taken as the test of the civ
lllzatlon and good feeling of school district
or neighborho0d Who this little girl was |
know not. One thing however, do know.
Whether rich or poor, in high life or low life,
she has written here the elements of a lady.
and If her life is spared, sooner or later
LHc qudlty Will SHOW itself IN other
acts OF gentleness, reverence, and refine
ment. If there is anything which seems to
be prevailing sin OF the present age, it is a
lack OF reverence On the part of the Young.
OF that whole crowd Of school children whom
met on that bright and beautiful morning,
one only had regard enough for a stranger to
give him sign Of recognition. 1t may be
fair to presume that the rest of them had new
er been instructed Us to the simple act which
my little friend did SO modestly and so grace
fully. If this brief tribute shall ever meet
her eye, she will leave the impression which
she made upon Il stranger, by the unstudied
act which was perhaps instantly forgotten by
her, but which was the index OF a spirit which
if properly cultivated will tend to make her
one of those sweet and loveable souls, from
which the great Author Of all goodness and
love will select His angels.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 1.-Two boatmen
who left Williamsport on Wednesday evening
report that at the time of their leaving, six
regiments of mounted rebel infantry were en-
camped on this side of the river, and more

quarters were at Hagerstown. There were
four rebel regiments of infantry encamped
about two miles this side of the town. At

their paroled papers with them. This morn

quarters army of the Potomac correspondent,
dating 18th, gives the following:
The present position OF the enemy, compar-

Longstreet and Ewell in the valley near Win
chester; Hill on the march between Culpep-
per and Chester Gap, but he has hardly time
to get on the other side of the Blue Ridge.
Lee may make, it is thought, one of these two
moVements-cross the Potomac up towards
Hagerstown, defending the passes of South
Mountain on his right flank, or make sud
den concentration in the Loudon valley, and
make the passage OF the Potomac river at
Nolan'S Ford, just where he crossed it last
year.
