Being in the circulation, it jirrvadce the whole ImkIv, and may burst out in disca.se nu any part of it. No organ is free ^'rom its attack^! nor is there one which it may aiot dR.-troy. The Bcrofulniis taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis¬ ordered or unlicaltliy food, impure air, lilth and filthy habiti, tbo dc])resfing vices, ond, ntiore all, hy tho vonorcnl infection.

Her rosy arms around the earth. And brightest blessings brings ; Heallh was her sole inheritance. And grace her only dower; I never dreamed tho wild wood Contained so sweet a (lower. Far distant (rom the city And inland from the sea. My la.ssie bloomed in goodness, As pure ns pure could be. She caught her dewy freshness From bill and mountain bower, I never dreamed the wild wood Contained so fair a flower. The rainbow musl have lent hor Some of ils airy grace; The wild rose parted with a blush. That nestled on her faco; The sunbeams got entangled In The long waves of her hair, Or she had never grown to be So modest and so fair. The early birds havo taught hor Their joyous matin song. And .some of their soft innocenco. She's been with Ibemsolong, And for her now. if need be, I'd part with wealth and power j I never dreamed the wild wood Contained so sweet a flower. of ritiffs nnd bracelets, nr who wore low dresses, or n splendid bonnet. Nor car. I imagine a'nice girl'with curls; but this may ho a prejudice. I am quite sure, however, that 'conx- ers,'—those funny little curls which it has been the fashion lo gum upon the cheek wilh bandolino—are totally inconsistent tvith the character of »'nice girl.' And if any one tvhom I have been disposed to regard asn 'nice girl' wore lo appear wilh her bonnet stuck on the back of her head I would cease lo believe in her from that moment. Tho only degree of latitude which I feel disposed te allow to my beau tileat—should it be in this case belle iileal —is kid boots wiih brass holes. There is a nameless charm about tidy feet which, I believe, the tvhole world recognizes.— I maintain that a neatly booted fool, and a well shaped ankle, in conjunclion wilh a clean while petticoat, and a light stock¬ ing, will nearly make amends lor aequint. Young men is it not so! Yes—you con¬ fess it. I say again, there in nothing in the world half 80 beautiful, half so intrinsically good, as a 'nicu girl.' She is the swcelosl flow¬ er in ihe path of life. There are olhef* lar more stately, far more gorgeous; but these wc merely admire as we go by. it IS whore the daisy grows that wu lie down lo resl. Under every condition, every aspect, I admire—nay, that is too cold aword—I "NICE GIRLS" To my mind, ihere is noihing in nH the World half so beautiful, half so delightful lovo the'nice giil.' Under overy condi- or half so lovable as'a nice girl.' I don't tion. every aspect, save one—that one is mean a pretty girl, or a dashing girl, or an llie condition of matrimony. When I elegant girl, but 'a nice girl.' one of those ! Iiear thai or.e of ihe 'nice girls' of my ac- lively, good leinpered,good heailod sweo faced, amiable, neat, natty, domestic crea¬ tures whom wo meet .n the spere of Home dill'jsing around the dom eslic hearth tho influence of her goodness, like the essence ofstveel flowers. What wo all know by a 'nico girl,* is not the languishing beauty ivho dawdles on a sola and talks of a last new novel or the Inst nnv opera; or the greal giraffe- looking girl, who creates on effect by .weeping: mnjo.tiually through a dr»„ins room. The -nice girl' does not even iinnc-, well, or play well, and she^ doe3|not know a bit how to use her eyes or coquette wilh a .'an. She never languishes; she is too active for Ihat; she is not given lo novel- leading for «ho IS always loo busy.. And as 10 the opera, when she goes there she docs nol think il necessary lo show het bare ahouders, but sels generally away in the back part ol the box, unheeded and unnoticed. Il is nol in such scenes that we discover the ''nice girl." It is a' •'Home." Who is il that rises l:rsi in the morning nnd gels the breakfast ready be¬ lore the family com es down? Who is it ihni makes papa's toast and carries up ma¬ ma's lea and puis builons on ihc boy's shirts, an<l waters tho flowers, and chick¬ ens, and makes everything bright and com¬ fortable in tho parlor ? Is il the sofa beauty, or the giraffe, or the elegant crea¬ ture ? By no means. It is Ihe'nice girl.' Her un.iided toilet has been peri'ormed in ihe shortest postible space of lime; yet how charmingly Iter hair is done, how sim¬ ply elegant is her silk dress ond plain while collar. What hearty kisses she distrib¬ utes unasked, among I'ne members of thg family. She dose not present her cheek, or lier brow, like iho "fine girl," but lakes the initiaiive herself, nnd kisses tho boys one after another, with an audiblo 'smack' which says abud, 'I love you ever so much.' HI ever covited anything in my life it is one ol those kisses from that 'nice girl.' She isqiiile ot home in ill tho do m-^stic dulies. Sha troubles no ono to 'help the kettle.' Breakfast over, she dives down inln the kitchen to sec about dinner! and all day long she is running up and down stairs, al ways doing, and always cheerful and light- hearted. And she never ceases to be ac¬ tive and psoful until the day is gone, when she will polka wilh the boys, and sing old songs,, and play old tunes Vo her father for hours togelhor, and never tire. She is a perfect treasure, is the 'nice girl.' When illness comes, it is she that allenda with unwearying patience the sick chamber,.— There is no risk, no amount of fatigue that she will not undergo; no sacrifice that she will nol make. She is all lovo, nil devo lion. I have often ihoughl that it would be happiness to be ill, to be watched by such loving eyes and tended by such fair hands. One of the most strongly marked char¬ acteristics of a 'nice girls,' is tidiness nnd simplicity of dress. She is invariably as- sooiated in my mind with a high frock, a plain collar; and the neatest of neck rib¬ bons; bound with the most modest little broKh in the world. I never knew a 'nics girl' yet, who displayed a profaiion quaintanco is aboul to be married--about lo be monopolized by some beast with whiskers, and an ugly sister lo be brides¬ maid, I become faint and sicU nl heart. Where 'nice 'girlti' dwell it should be written up ns on gates of choice gardens 'Do not pick the flowers!' Oh it is hor¬ rid, horrid, to sea ihai spruce gentleman come in and take heraway in'o it corner for the] ie.«t nf ih« evening. I ninj nol waltz wilh htr now; I may not catch her at Mind nian'o buff, I mav nol sit bv her ttfiu turn ovor ifie loaves na atio sinfrs 'Au!d Robbin Gray," even though ii ,vore Christmas time, I may not any more kiss her under the mistletoe: I may not even look ai her! There is that horrid, spruce man wilh whiskers, glowering ot me as if he would cat me. I sigh as the remem. brnnce comes over me of the many'nice girls'whn has ihui been lorn, ruthlessly torn from me by spruce, and I am sure ive should get on much belter without them. I cannot bear to think of a 'nice girl' getting married. 1 cannot contemplate tvilh palience whai she is aboul to become. What is she aboul to become? She is about 10 become the slave of a man. In less Ihan a year her figure will bo eternally spoilt. In less ihan a year she will weal" sloppy dresses and wrappers of o morning. She will leave ofl garters, and her stDck- ings will hang loose. She will lose the bloom in her cheek, and the merry twin¬ kle in her eye. She will have a baby. I say I cannot conlomplale this spectacle with palience. I once visited ono who had been a'nice girl,'a year or Uvo alter her marriage. The figure ivhichshe pre¬ sented shocked me. I could of cried with vexation; nnd I am suro if her hus¬ band had coiile in, I should have kicked him. I have resolved never lo go through such un ordeal again. When 'nice girl marries now,! am done with her forever. You i-nay wonder why since I am such on admirer of'nice girls,' I have never madd one my own—why, in fad, I have never married ono. I ha'-e loved admired, and adored them loo much for that. I could no ir.ore marry a'nice girl,'than I could wilfully trample down a bed of flow, ers. I have all my lllo considered it, and still do consider il, a crime lillle short of sacrilege lo marry a 'nice girl.' Who but a savage would deface a beauliful sculpture? Who but a wretch would stand with his back to the fire, and monop¬ olize all the heat? 'I'olha man who at¬ tempts lo marry a 'nice girl,' I say as Diogenes to Alexander, 'Get ihe out of my sun!' Marry a'nice giil !' Nerer ! I know what it would be. No m«re is a hero lo hist)«/e( (/cc/iam6r«, and no husband,! am sure, is a fire fellow in his wife's eyes after she has mended his socks. On the other hand, I am cerlair. there musl be hor¬ rid disenchantment aboul a skimp flannel petticoat and » colten nighl cap wilh 'frills., No; let the 'nice girls" alone. Let her be the life nnd sunshine of 'Home' for¬ ever. Let as many hearts pinu away and die wilh the rest. Bui change not .Miss into Mrs.! rob not her of her girlishness and simpliciiy ; pollute not the gushing fountain of her love, Tii"^h flojvs for all nnd fall like-detv upo! the world. Let her be a 'nice girl'forelr; for such as she never grow old. or lose e power to charm If yon must marry, may tho oetuly—the clever girl--lhe dashingirl—an; kind of girl you like, but leaveie, oh lenve me, the 'nice girl. For hetake. I will live a bachelor to the end of v dtys; and when 1 die, desire noihing b«er than lo have such a one to watch oveme and close my eyes. i A Chapter oa nbles. BV A OiriLDLEsalOTHER.

Scroftila, or King's Evil,
is a o-mstitutional dincaac, a corruption of tbo blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, ¦ttoafc, and poor. Being in the circulation, it jirrvadce the whole ImkIv, and may burst out in disca.se nu any part of it. No organ is free ^'rom its attack^! nor is there one which it may aiot dR.-troy. The Bcrofulniis taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis¬ ordered or unlicaltliy food, impure air, lilth and filthy habiti, tbo dc])resfing vices, ond, ntiore all, hy tho vonorcnl infection.

Its effects commence by deposition from the Mood of cornipt or ulcerous matter, which, in the biiigs, liver, and intemsl organs, is tcnnetl tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on tho'surfoce, eruptions cr sores.

The Country Lassie.
She blossomed ia the country.
Where sunny summer fling. Her rosy arms around the earth.
And brightest blessings brings ; Heallh was her sole inheritance.
And grace her only dower; I never dreamed tho wild wood
Contained so sweet a (lower. Far distant (rom the city
And inland from the sea. My la.ssie bloomed in goodness,
As pure ns pure could be. She caught her dewy freshness
From bill and mountain bower, I never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so fair a flower. The rainbow musl have lent hor
Some of ils airy grace; The wild rose parted with a blush.
That nestled on her faco; The sunbeams got entangled In
The long waves of her hair, Or she had never grown to be
So modest and so fair. The early birds havo taught hor
Their joyous matin song. And .some of their soft innocenco.
She's been with Ibemsolong, And for her now. if need be,
I'd part with wealth and power j I never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet a flower.

I am quite sure, however, that 'conx- ers,'—those funny little curls which it has been the fashion lo gum upon the cheek wilh bandolino—are totally inconsistent tvith the character of »'nice girl.' And if any one tvhom I have been disposed to regard asn 'nice girl' wore lo appear wilh her bonnet stuck on the back of her head I would cease lo believe in her from that moment. Tho only degree of latitude which I feel disposed te allow to my beau tileat—should it be in this case belle iileal —is kid boots wiih brass holes. There is a nameless charm about tidy feet which, I believe, the tvhole world recognizes.— I maintain that a neatly booted fool, and a well shaped ankle, in conjunclion wilh a clean while petticoat, and a light stock¬ ing, will nearly make amends lor aequint. Young men is it not so! Yes—you con¬ fess it.
I say again, there in nothing in the world half 80 beautiful, half so intrinsically good, as a 'nicu girl.' She is the swcelosl flow¬ er in ihe path of life. There are olhef* lar more stately, far more gorgeous; but these wc merely admire as we go by. it IS whore the daisy grows that wu lie down lo resl.
Under every condition, every aspect, I admire—nay, that is too cold aword—I
"NICE GIRLS"
To my mind, ihere is noihing in nH the World half so beautiful, half so delightful lovo the'nice giil.' Under overy condi- or half so lovable as'a nice girl.'

What wo all know by a 'nico girl,* is not the languishing beauty ivho dawdles on a sola and talks of a last new novel or the Inst nnv opera; or the greal giraffe- looking girl, who creates on effect by .weeping: mnjo.tiually through a dr»„ins room.

And as 10 the opera, when she goes there she docs nol think il necessary lo show het bare ahouders, but sels generally away in the back part ol the box, unheeded and unnoticed. Il is nol in such scenes that we discover the ''nice girl." It is a' •'Home." Who is il that rises l:rsi in the morning nnd gels the breakfast ready be¬ lore the family com es down?
