"a Pleasant Girl. =

An Eastern paper says that traveller
il Norway, last summer came to q VII
lage early one morning, and was struck
by the air Of gloom which pervaded the
streets. Unable to speak word Of the
language, be could not ask the cause Of
this and concluded that some sickness
or financial trouble had fallen upon the
community.
AS the day wore on toward noon,
however, the houses were closed, shop
windows were covered; all trade and
business ceased. It was death, then.
Presently he saw the people gather
ing for the funeral. There were the
village official, the nobleman from the
neighboring chateau, and, apparently,
every man, woman and child in the viii
lage. It must be some dignitary of the
church who is dead, or some other
county official.
As he stood watching the crowds
passing down the little rocky street, he
caught sight of the face Of German
known to him, He beekoned to him.
& The town has lost some great mag
nate, apparently ?"
g All, no. It is only young maiden
who is dead. No. She is not beautiful
or rich. But, oh, such pleasant girl,
monsieur All the world seems darker
now that she is dead.
It is o singular fact that when we
reach middle life and look back, it is
not the beautiful, nor the brilliant, nor
the famous people whom we have
known, that we remember with the
keenest regret, but some simple, sin
cere, pleasant soul, whom we treated
as an every -day matter while she was
with us.
Go into family or social circle, or
even into ballroom, and the woman
who has the most friends there as a
rule, is not the belle, nor the wit, nor
the heiress, nor the beauty but some
homely, charming little body, whose
fine tact and warm heart never allow her
to say the wrong word in the wrong
place.
The pheasant women " are the attrac-
ton that everywhere holds society and
homes together. Any woman, however
poor and ugly, may be one of them !;
but first she must be candid, honorable,
unselfsh and loving. If she is these,
the world will be happier and better
for every day of her life, as in the case
of this poor Norwegian, it will seem
darker when she is dead. Christian at
