ST. VALENTINES DAy.--We presume
that many observe the l4th of February,
who pay no attention to the day of any 9TH
er saintin the calendar; and that such have
already forwarded the customary missions
and made the VOWS usual on such occasions.
We trust that the Saint will be propitious
to the prayers of all who have acted in good
faith, and give them constant Valentines
for the ensuing lwelvemonth. Should they
wish the engagement to last longer, OF
course no one will forbid the bans.

GERMAN.-Neighbor Gulich, of Der DEM

acquaint themselves with the German Ian
guage so as to be enabled TO read the news
papers printed in German! This, no doubt
would be very desirable qualIiicatlon' out
IS the Germans come among US and identl'
fly themselves with Americans, would itnot
be better for them to learn to read the
English language, and then there would DC
no occasion for German newspapers Ger
mans must read, and ifthey could not obtain
papers in their own language to peruse'
they would very soon acquire sufficient
knowledge of the English Language to I'M
derstand the papers printed in it.

BRIGHT DAYs.--There would be less dis
position to complain among the good people
Of this portion OF our planet if each cold day
of winter were cheered by so bright sun as
the one that beamed upon US yesterday
The mercury rubbed zero very closely In the
morning, sinking from one-half to one de-
gree below that familiar point, but 1t quick
ly arose with the rise of the Aun until at
noon the wetted planks of our sidewalks
smoked in its rays. Men walked about
brsky, ehlivened by bracing atmosphere
and cheered by warming sun, until one
could almost persuade himself that the
backbone of winter was broken" and the
ribs of spring had begun to appear. An
bu, this is goodly world to live in; cynlcs
may sneer and misan,hropes complain, but
such bright and beautiful days are given us
for holier object, and he is the better PM
losopher who makes the best use OF them.
