The Lovers.
This is the way Barry Gray chats about
Frank and JEANNE, who are supposed to
be in love;
"But let US look to our lovers. Nothing
can be more pleasanter, unless you be an
old bachelor, than taking note Of couple
Of lovers. Observe how attentive each is
to the other. How they anticipate each
others wants, aud the care they evincs for
each others health and welfare. They arc
very confidential together, and have long
talks, wherein their voices aound like the
distant humming of bees, so low and
continuous are their utterance.
l have discovered that these confabs are
not always Of importance, though condnct.
ed with such an air Of secrecy; for Frank
may only be telling to Jeannio the best
way of lacing boot, and she may be ad-
vising him OF the mysterious combinations
Of plum -porridge. They talk more to tho
point often times, imagine, when sur
rounded by others, they cast glances ut
each other across the room. Neither VI.
ters word, but know their looks convey
a great deal. TLey express almost an
affinity Of affection, when they shake hands
at parting in the evening It takes then,
long time to accomplish this little duty,
and when Frank manages to get Jeannis
into the hall, to help him on with his
oyercoat, the time they consume in bidding
good night should not be surprised If
he kissed her on these occasions--is some
thing almost marvellous.
What they can possibly have to say, af.
ter talking together all the evening, passes
my comprehension. l think they must
repeat over again all that they have been
saying during the entire evening, and all
too, that every body else has said. Itsome-
times makes me quite nervous, seated in
the library, to hear the confused murmur
of their voices, eeasing now and then,
however, for moment-and those are the
times, l take it, that Frank kisses her.
and then going ON with renewed vigor.
Not until | make a move, as If ] were
going to open the door, and upset chair
or two, does Frank take his departure and
then Jeannie glide quietly up to her room
to listen to the ..souds of the footballs OF
Franks horse, as he gallops down the
road.

Andy Felt, of the Nashua Post, who
drives as fearless quill as any editor in
the State, begins to "see the point" and
makes the following sharp hint On tho
Jacobin rump congress:
1.-THE latest reconstruction measure Of
Congress is strong, but why not add Q
clause which shall embrace the gist Of the
whole bill? For instance, let the last
claws (clause) provide that no man in the
rebel states (they are apparently deceased)
shall be seen outside house after night
fall without wearing printed :" oath Of
allegiance on his ha. ID. All white
men in the late rebel states are traitors.
3D. No traitor has any rights which con-
gress or black men are bound to respect.
4th. No man living south of Mason &
Dixon's line shall take snuff without
written p,rnit frem Gen. United
States Grant, commander Of
the Southern .Confederacy, New
Jersey included. 5th. Gen. Grants or
ders Shall be revised by B. Butler and T.
Stevens. and countersigned by w. Phil
lips. 9th. The ancient doctrine that ali
just governments derive their power from
the consent of the governed, is mon
strous lie. Such a clause added to the
bill would not give it any additional
strength, but it make its meaning more
clear, and would render the defeat of the
democratic party in the coming presiden-
tial campaign fixed fact.'
Andy, we are glad to see that you re-
tain some reason yet, that you can't swal-
low the whole radical wolf, and that you
still think white man has some rights
which negro ought to respect. Why
don't you throw off your disguise and ad
vocate principles as well US men Fay
etee Co. Union.

EScouRAclNG BAD Perhaps
some of the boys and girls have heard OF
William l.. Marcy. He was long known
as public man. Twice he was
elected Governor of N. Ycrs, then United
States Senator, and finally was appointed
Secretary of War. He died only few
years since. Here is little anecdote
about him, by which you will get an idea
Of his boyhood:
Many years ago, in country town in
Massachusetts, teacher saw boy come
into school whom he knew to be one Of the
worst boys in town. He determined, if he
could, to make good boy Of him. So he
spoke kindly to him, and he behaved we'll
that day. The Prudential Committee (as
he was called came in and said: "Mr.
Towne, hear that bad fellow, Bill Marcy,
has come to your school turn him out at
once-he will spoil the rest of the boys"
"No, sir" replied the teacher, Il will
leave the school if you say so, but cannot
expel boy so long as he behaves we'll"
So he kept him and encouraged him, con-
fded in him, till Bill Marcy became one Of
the best boys in school, and afterwards,
whenever William l.. Marcy came from
Washington. he took pains to go and see
his old teacher, Salem Towne, and thank
him for having been the means Of saving
him and making him the man he was.

lDSOEuSIy &OutteenSns
Valentines Day. The origion of the
celebration of this day by lovers is lost in
obscurity. The legend Of st. Valentine,
pr"sbyter of the church, who was be-
headed under Claudius, contains nothing
| which could give rise to the custom. By
some it is supposed that the tradition Of
birds choosing their mates on this day
occasioned the drawing of Valentines.
Shakespeare thus alludes to it in Mid
summers Night Dream, Act w., Scene !:
"Gocd morrow, friends, Saint Valentine is past;
Begin these wood birds but to couple now."
Another superstition is that the custom
originated from an observance peculiar to
carnival time, in the age of chivairy. 1t
was usual on this occasion for vast num-
bers of brave knights to visit the different
courts of Europe, where they entertained the
ladies with jousts and tournaments. Each
lady at these teasts selected knight, who
engaged to serve her whole year and to
perform whatever she chose to comm and
Mr.. Brand suggests that the usagcs of the
day are the remains of an ancient super
stition in the Romish Church, Of chosing
patrons for the ensuing year at this season.
Mr.. Douce, with more probability, refers
the custom to raganism. 1T was the
practice in ancient Rome" he observes,
during q great part Of the month of
February, to celebrate the Lupsrcalia,
which were feasts in honor of Pan and
Juno. On this occasion the names Of the
young women were put in box, from
which they were drawn by the men as
chance directed, and led to rites of too
natural character to be more than allud-
ed to-" The drawing of Valentines is
thus referred to in one of Ophelias mad
songs: ..
"Good morrow, tits St. Valentines day.
All in the morning by time,
And a maid at your window,
To be your yalentie"
The practice of addressing verses and
sending presents to the person chosen, has
been continued from the days Of James l,
in England, and for the benefit of our
young lady readers, God bless EN- all, we
wish, with Byron, that the whole bevy Of
them had but one rosy mouth, that we
might kiss the batch from north to south
tour wife did not see us write this para
graph y we will add one of the old customs
on Valentines morning, which was that
''the lasses prayed cross-legged to Saint
Taleutine for good luck" (See Douces
Illustrations of Shakespeare, Vol. III. p.
2jS)
Tha custom Of sending burlesque and
satirical Valentines is modern inneva-
ton, indicative Of the change in the times
and the departure of simplicity and truth.
We wish the reader could see the monster
we received, diabolical in its appearance,
and yet abominably like us, with a real
sort Of unreality about it which made us
vince.
Mr.. pepys enters into his diary that on
Valentines Day, 1901, his wife received
from Sir w. Batten f'half a dozen pairs Of
gloves, and pair Of silk stockings and
garters for her Valentines" Truly those
were unsophisticated days. What would
a lady to-day think of suck q present from
an admirer?
