ST. Valentines Day.


ST. Valentines Day.
St. vaientine's Day Is coming again;
So, ladies', be ready to choose
Maze love to the man that Is worthy 10 win;
Such kind offer he'll never refuse,
On st. Valentines Day.
Besides. 1t Is Leap Year, the time to secure
The heart of some gallant old bach
Or charming young widower who will endure
A few evenings In making a match,
On st. Valentines Day.
Don't Jill him because his hair has turned grey,
Or tecaufe be wears glasses TO read,
For half of the widowers are double as gay
As Young heroes dressed up In their tweed,
On ST. Valentines Day.
For patience sake, who'd be an old maid?
I'd be grass widow In preference to that;
Besides, they re cross u their duisare misaid
They are like the monkey that cheated the eat
On st. Valentines Day.
Then an old bachelor, the good land Of Mosesl
They're surely the last Of creations
For they're really too lazy to wipe theirOw noses
by the way, they're perfect vexation,
On ST. Valentines Day.
Then there are bashful young men, you know,
Who couldn't think of Popping the question;
Top II yourselves see how 1t will 60,
by picking up courpge to make the suggestion
On st. Valentines Day.
Leap Year only comes once every four;
Doni lose any time in winning n man;
For Rockville l. blest with boys by the score;
So be up aud doing, AID win, II you can,
On st. Valentines Day.

HAPPINEss.-lt would form, per-
haps, one Of the most amusing, If not
the most instructive, chapters in po
etic history to compare the various
opinions expressed by the inspired
respecting happiness He who dwells
in a lonely valley believes happiness
resides in a crowded city among com
pany and books while he who sings
among the rattle of other mems char
lot wheels, and the smoke of ten thou
sand cbimnies, fixes the abode of hap
piness by the side OF some purlng
brook, beside n green hill, where the
wind is ever fragrant and the voice Of
nature alone is heard. The high-born
bard, sick of the hollow courtesies of
polished society, sighs for the paste.
raj solitudes, where flowers never fade
and focks never stray and beauty is
never out of blossom. The shepherd
bard, on the other hand, who has to
wander over moors and mountains,
halfchoked in winter with drifting
snow, and halfscorched in summer
with burning suns, who has to smear
and clip his focks, as well as keep
them from the fox, and save them,
too, from smothering in a snow
wreath, envies the opulent, and longs
TO be lord. There was some sense
in the remark Of Scotchman, who,
in reading the saying Of Solomon,
"snow is beautiful in its season" ex-
claimed "Aye, nae doubt it was beau
tiiul oyou, sitting with the rich wines
and the lassies o. Jerusalem sitting
aside you but had ye been poor

How SOME MEN LIvE.-Men trace
many pains for the journey of life.
Some linger among the flowers that
decorate the bosom Of Nature some
grope in caves and mines, those hol-
low arteries of n pulseless globe; and
some pursue the starry poetry Of
Heaven. Here one transfers TO the
canvass "the human face divine !"
there another catches and fixes with
ready pencil, the changing glories of
a summer landscape, and the varying
tints of summer skies. In this place
is one who knocks at the pale Parian
tombs, till the dead he secs with tho
eyes of his soul comes forth at his
bidding, throw off the marble Labili.
ments of death, and stand up in the
day, rounded and fashioned, and ev-
erything buL warmed into life, by the
magical touches of chisel and graver.
In that place is another, who docs
little but listen. There is music for
him everywhere. The great shout of
the waterfall fills his soul with Joy I;
the roll of the thunder is the bass of a
great anthem. The leaves do not
rustic, but they whisper and sigh, and
arc every one tongue. The wind is
musical, and tho brook sings solos for
him. He lives in voiceful world,
and he listens and records; his scores
are all harmonious, and his life moth
ing but a lyric. He utters in melody's
distinctest articulations, what other
men dimly feel In winter he gives
us the laughter Of summer songs in
summer he can mock December sigh
ing in the pines.
