Death Of Little Nell.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

Nho was dead. No slocp 80
beautiful and calm, SO fair to look
upon. Sho seemed croaturo
fresh from tho hand Of God, and
waiting for tho breath Of lifo not
one who had lived, and suffered
death. Her couch was dressed
with here and there somo winter
berries and green loavcs, gathored
in q spot she had boon usod to
favor.
"Whon l dio, put mo near somo-
thing that has loved tho light,
and had tho sky above it always"
Those wcro her words.
Sho was dead. Dear, gentlc,
patient Nell was dead. 1Ior little
bird, a poor, slight thing tho pres
sure Of finger would have crush
cd. was stirring nimbly in it's
caSc, and tho strong heart Of its
child mistress was mutc and mo-
tionless forever Whoro wcro
TITO traces of her carly cares, hcr
suilorings, and fntigucs All gone.
Sorrow was dead, indeed, in hor
but peace and perfect happiness
wcro born, imagcd in her tranquil
beauty and profound rcpose.
And still her former self lay
there unaltcrod in this change
Yes tho old tiresido had smiled
upon the sweet faco it had pass
cd, like dream, through the
haunts of misery and caro- at tho
door Of tho poor schoolmastor on
the summer evening, before tho
furnace fire upon tho cold, wet
night, ut tho still bedside of the
dying boy, there had been that
samo mild and lovely look. So
shall we know the angels, in their
majesty, after death.
Ihe ola man held ono languid
arm in his, and tho small, light
hand folded to his breast for
warmth. II was tho hand she
had stretched out to him with her
last smile; tho hand that had led
him on through all thoir wander
ings. Ever and anon he pressed
1T to his lips, then huggod it to
his breast, murmuring that it was
warmer now, and, as ho said it, he
looked in agony to those who
stood around, as if imploring thom
to help her.
: She was dead, and passed all
help or need Of help. Tho ancient
rooms shc had seemed to fill with
life oven while her own was wan
ing fast; tho garden sho had ten
dcd, tho eyos she had gladdonod,
the noisoloss haunts Of many a
thoughtless hour, tho paths sho
had troddcn, as it wcro, but yes
tcrday, could know her no more.
at is not" said tho young
schoolmastcr as he bent down to
kiss her on tho check, and gave
free won't TO his toars, at is not in
this world that Heavens Justice
ends. Think what it is, compared
with tho world to which hor
young spirit has winged her carly
flight, and say, if ono deliberate
wish, expressed in solemn tones,
could win her back to life, which
of us would utter it ?"
Sho had been dead two days.
They were all about hcr at tho
time, knowing that the end was
drawing on. She died soon after
daybrcak. They had read and
talked to her in tho early portion
Of the night: but as tho hours
