A NICE GIRL.

Though that class is ~ no means
extinct, still they are not so numer-
GUS as might be wished. There is
nothing half so sweet in life, half so
beautiful or delightful or so lovable,
as nice girl. Not pretty or dash
ing girl, but nice girl. One of
those lovely, lively, good-natured,
sweet~faced, aniabIe, neat, natty,
domestic creatures met within the
sphere Of '.home," diffusing around
the influence, of her goodness, like
the essence Of sweet flowers.
A nice girl is not the languishing
beauty, dawdIing on sofa, and
discussing the last novel or opera,
or the giraffe-like creature sweeping
majestically through the drawing
room. The nice girl may not even
play or dance we'll, and knows moth
ing about using her eyes or coquet-
ting with fan. She never Ian
cuisines, she Is too active. She is
not given to sensation novels, she is
too busy. In public she is not in
front showing her shoulders she
sits quiet and unobtrusive at the
back of the crowd most likely. In
fact it is not often we discover her.
Home is her place.
Who rises betimes to superintend
the morning meal? Who makes the
toast and the tea, and buttons the
boys shirts, and feeds the chickens,
and brlghtens up the parlor and sit
ting-room ? Is it the languisher, or
the giraffe, or the "elegante p Not
a bit of it it's the nice girl.
Her maiden toilet is made in the
shortest possible time, yet how
charmingly il is done; and how ele-
giant and neat her dless and collar !!
Not presenting her cheek or brow
like a "fne GIRL" but an audible
smack, which says plainly, 81 love
you ever so much.' IF you coyet
anything. it's one Of the nice girls
kisses.
Breakfast over, down in the kitch-
en- to see about dinner, and all day
long she is up and down, always
cheerful and light-hearted. She
never ceases to be active and useful
until day is gone. when she will
polka with the boys, or read, sing
old songs and play old tunes to her
father or mother for hours together !;
she is a perfect treasure. is the nice
girl. When sickness comes it is
she who attends with unwearying
patience In the sick chamber. There
is no risk, no fatigue that she will
not undergo; no sacrifice that she
will not make. She is all love, all
devotion. / have often thought it
would be happiness to be i'll to be
watched by such loving eyes, and
tended by such fair hand.
One of the most strongly marked
characteristics of mice grip is
tidiness and simplicity of dress. She
is invariably associated in my mind
with high frock, plain collar, and
the neatest of nice ribbons, bound
with the most modest little brooch
in the world. [ never knew of a
''nice girl who displayed profu-
sion of rings and bracelets, or who
wore low dresses or a splendid bon
net.
/ say again, there is nothing in
The world halfso beautiful, half so
intrinsically good as ':nice girl .
She is the sweetest flower In the
path of life. There are others far
more stately, far more gorgeous,
