an oED.TTazE VALENTINE.

Oh, dear! die, indeed do:
$50 feFvent is my love for yOu-)
do indeed. sweet miss.
Oh, for some friendly hangman's rope,
Or else some physic from the Pope,
Or else, dear girl, a kiss.
And as my heart for thee doth burn,
Pray, can't you give some small return
To ease my grtef-stTuck soul?
II you refuse, on cruel fart
MY brains 1'lI scatter in the air
II any have got;
Or else, too charming girl, youth see,
I'll bangle on some willow tree,
For wind and rain to rot.
And when my ghosts allowed to rise
Its grizzly form shall meet thine eyes,
If thus you fix my doom;
And, as AIonzo's ghost was seen
To bear away fair Imogene,
I'll bear thee to the tomb.

A HANDSOME BooK.-Those who
are accustomed to think printing and
book binding mere mechanical OPP
Grafton, might have that error re-
moved from their minds by examin
ing Hotel Register, which has just
been finished at the JOURNAL bindery
for the Planters House, of Owens
boro, Kentucky, handsomely bound
in full Russia, printed in three colors,
and ornamentally ruled. It would be
an ornament anywhere.
A hotel register is generally good
index to the character of the hotel
itself, and the house that is provided
with such a Register is sure to be as
carefully provided in other respects
While indicating the character of
the hotel, it also speaks for the skill,
taste, and general ability of those who
make the book. AS such, the jour-
NAL sends it forth with satisfaction,
confident that all who see it will &C
cord to this establishment the means,
skill. taste and disposition to get up
work that shall be second to no es-
adjustment in the United States.

SABBATH SCHOOL ANNIvERsARY.-
The Sabbath School of the Walnut
Street Presbyterian Church held its
anniversary yesterday forenoon In the
audience room of the church, taking
up with the exercises a part of the
time of the morning sermon. The
Treasurer, James L. Orr, presented
the financial report, from which We
learn that the missionary contribu-
tions for the year were 1928 20, an in
crease over the previous year. The
Superintendent, Mr.. I. W. Turner
made very interesting report on the
present condition and work Of the
year, from which it appeared that the
school numbers 285; that two mis- sion
schools had been organized, number
ing respectively 125 and 80 scholars
that the number of conversions dur
ing the year were over sixty; and that
only one scholar had been lost by
death. Prizes were presented to Mel
lie Goodge and Daniel Kress for being
the most successful in bringing in new
scholars.
The exercises of the children, con-
sisting of a recitation by a band of
little girls. of the "Old, Old Story"
stories of Jesus (by topics) by the in-
FAINT class, and recitation Of the Para
bles. which were quite interesting, and
listened to by large audience of
parents aud friends. The singing,
which was led by Prof. Tinker, was
quite spirited and attractive.

THE REVIVAL MOVEMENT.
The Services Continued this week.

The Union Prayer Meeting on Sat
urday morning was held in Trinity
Methodist Church, the main audience
room being filled, and was of peculiar
interest in view of the fact that it was
Rev. Mr.. Hammond 3 farewell meeting.
We regret that we have not space
to notice the exercises in detail. The
greeting which Mr.. Hammond received
was most fattering to him, and showed
that he had grown in the confidence
and affection of the Christians of
Evansville very greatly since his ar
rival in this city. The prayers and
hearty good wishes of very many of
our people will follow him and ever
remember with grateful hearts his
labors in this community.
As heretofore announced, it has
been determined to continue the
Union Revival Services in the same
manner as for the past week, and the
first of the continued meetings was
held last night at Trinity Methodist
Church. At an early hour the main
audience room was filed to its utmost
capacity, and a large meeting was also
held at the same time in the lecture
room above. The opening exercises
were led by Rev. Mr.. Kumler, of the
Walnut Street Presbyterian Church,
and the Scripture lesson read and
expounded by Rev. Mr.. Bowden, of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
The sermon, preached by Rev. DR..
Andrus, of Trinity Methodist Church.
was on Faih IN Christ (John iii. 16),
and was a clear and simple yet
cogent presentation Of the great
Gospel truth. At its close, he
called on all whose purpose it was
to accept of Christ and his salvation,
and all who desired the prayers of
Christians to rise, which invitation
was responded to by large con Fany,
the greater proportion of whem were
adults. There were also quite a num-
Der of inquirers asked for prayers
in the meeting ia tbs lee
ture room. As heretofore, an
hour or more was taksn up in .,
second, or Inquiry nsetisg, and
Christians were busy in conference
and prayer with the anxious. The
services were not SO prolonged as un-
der Mr.. Hammond's leaderskip, (being
shortened in the first nestiBg), but
there was evinced deep and solemn
spirit, and little if any diminution of
the Revival feeling. The meetings
viii be continued every night this
week, In the same Ch1reh.

Matrimonial Machine.

A machine to facilitate marriages has, it
is said-in model, at least-been sent to
the Patent Office by its inventor. The no.
ton is, that the manageable people of a
social circle or district are to put their res
pectlve names, written on cards, in
to the machine; upon setting it in operation,
the majority Of the cards are ground to i'm
palpable powder, but few are turned out
mated, and paired by inexorabls, fate. But,
after all, this is not equal to the method of
the olden time. Then the lads and lasses
gathered around the glowing hearth, the
andirons were cleared from the blazing logs.
and the boys arranged chestnuts upon one
andiron, the girls on the other Each chest
nut represented one individual the one
who placed it there and the heads came
very close together over the fire while the
hands were placing the chestnuss on the
respective bars. The chestnuts we're left to
roast. There was no hope for those that,
exploding, fell into tho fire. Those that
flew out of the chimney place into the room
had another chance but those that sat out
the roasting upon the bars were inevitably
and irrevocably mated. 1t was only requis-
lite in the beginning that the chestnuts
should be examined, to see that there were
no holes in them; the test was perfectly fair,
and the great advantage was that the chest.
nuts themselves popped" the question.

Wealth..

Ono great cause Of the poverty of the
present day is, the failure of the people to
appreciate small things-they say that if
they cannot save large sums, they will not
save anything They do not realize how q
daily addition, be it ever SO small, will soon
make large pile; if the young men and
young women of to day will only begin, and
begin now, to save little from their earn
ings, and plant in the soil of some good saw
ings bank. and weekly or monthly add their
mite, they will wear happy smile of COM
petence and independence, when they reach
middle life. Not only the pile itself will in
crease, but the desire and ability to increase
it will soon grow. Let the clerk and trades.
man, laborer and artisan, make now and at
once beginning. Store up some of your
youthful force and vigor for future contin-
gencics. Let parents teach their children
to begin early to save. Begin at the foun-
tain head to control the stream of extrava-
gance, and then the work will be easy to
choose beteewn poverty and riches. Let
our youth 60 on in the Labts of cxtrava-
gsnce for fifteen years to come as they have
for fifty years past, and we shall be nation
of beggars with moncyed aristocracy. Let
generation of such as save in small sums be
reared and we shall be free from want. Do
not be ambitious for extravagant fortunes,
but seek that which it is the duty of every
man to Observation-Disclosures and comfor-
table home. Wealth and enough is within
the reach of all. 1t is obtainable by one
process, and one only-saving.
