Poetry.
MY VALENTINE.
BY MARY L. SHERMAN.

In mid lfe's wearying, MONDAY heat,
Rises vision cool and sweet,
CT happy days, alas too fleet.
OF home beside the gray old mill
VI dripping understanding wheel,
Of schoelhouse perched on snow-ciad hill.
Ut knife-hacked bench, and dog-eared book ;
Of curly -headed Phils sly look,
His cautious, reckoning finger crook.
The billet that be shyly kissed,
Twirls through the air. lights on the list
Of cOlumned words, sure to be missed.
Two merry hearts that brightly bleed,
Pierced with feather shafted reed,
Cupid begging loves just need.
Lame verses in scrawling line:
IL love my love. Is her love mine?
Say wilt thou be my Valentine?' ~
Alb, happy, happy, foolish days;
Philip has won and loves the praise
The world gives to q poets lays.
[ keep the faded, scrawling line:
~ love my love. Is her love mine?'
Is still my only Valentine.
All Philip, do you ne rer think
Of painted sled-of mill-pond brink,
For-get-me- nots in chains q link?
IT'S well to love It's we'll to pray
That God will give me back some day,
You and the heart you took away.

TO THE PUBLIC 1t affords much pleasure
to state that in July, 1871, Front Street Theatre
was pain ted inside and out with Bradley's Pat
ent Enamel paint for which G P. Knight, No.
90 West Lombard street, is agent, and to testify
to it's superiority over any and all other paints
for similar uses. In no private dwelling can
paint possibly be subjected to the very severe
test it undergoes at this establishment, where,
during our daily cleaning, soap and soda are
constantly applied to it, and yet it appears as
sound and fresh as when first put on. Of the
numerous advantages it possesses over other
paints will mention its being mixed and ready
for use in quantities to suit purchasers, its quick
ly drying properties, which saves much time in
the execution of work where paint is needed
and its very perceptible renacity, which imparts
beauty and durability to the objects which it
is used. AS such | most earnestly recommend
it to the merchants and tradesman of our city,
believing that it will give them greater satsfac-
ton than they can possibly anticipate.

A REVOLUTION IN HOUSE PAINTING.-Tbe Gath
olic Mirror says: The advertisement of the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company has been some
time in our columns, and it may seem strange
that it is only to-day we call special attention to
it. Our reason for this is that we do not like
recommending thing unless we know it is good.
We are pleased to find that the agent, Mr.. G. P.
Knight, was of our way of thinking, and wished
above all that the paint should be tested so that
the editor could give his conscientious opinion
of its merits. Having had this test made in our
own household we have no hesitancy in saying
that the Enamel Paint comes up fully to all that
is claimed for it. In the country especially, where
it is difficult to procure the necessary ingredient
for mixing paint, and skllful workmen to apply
it, the Enamel Paint will prove invaluable, as it
is already prepared, and can be applied by any
one possessing ordinary judgment. For plain
work in private dwellings, churches and school
houses. it will prove very economical as well as
beautiful. One gallon of this paint will cover
twenty square yards, giving two coats. Our
friends may safely give it tria! without fear of
disappointment.
