THE MISSION OF ST. VALENTINE.


HIS STORY.
passed her on The street to-day:
The wild crowd hid her face away,
And hurled me past its shining,
1et just that moments tender CLEAN
Grows fairer than my fairest dream,
And shames my weak repining'
What though no knight Of blazoned cross
Could hold his Love such bitter loss
When ban aad bar removed herl
Since he who loves, by that alone
t,falms Iife's divinest as his own,
lis something TO have loved her.
And soFefimes stilI those bars of fate
Are changed 70 the Enchanted Gate,
swung wide In sweet permission;
And sometimes still a courage lies
Within the blue and earnest eyes,
Baniing world's derision.
Perhaps-lie still, my hearti-sh wears
That smile for his reward who dares
Repeat the story oi1en;
Perhaps thus ieaden casket keeps
some gifts beyond the garnered heaps
OF treasure in the golden.
So speed thee, dainty Valentine,
And tell her all the secrets thine
My yearnins eyes have told her.
Cease. tongue Of Time, your mad repeat,
Cease, heart Of mine, your frantic beat,
Until these arms lnfold her.
HER STORY.
! thought my pride had taught my heart
Twas well our widening ways should part,
And one bewildering greeting
Has swept my careful wall away,
Has lightened all the darksOme day,
And set the pulses beating.
o foolish feeti that sought to find
Some path which left his love behind,
Wond'ring the way was weary!
o foolish eyesl TO vail your light
From eyes whose welcome is so bright
The sunshine seemeth drearyl
! cannot let these moments drift
To hopeless mounds no word may lift
From out life's painless meadow;
The maiden Is not Overbold
Who answers what his soul hath told
In titful light and shadow.
Fly, then, o blessed vaientinei
And carry but a mystic line
In Loves unciphered spelling;
lie only breaks the magic seal
Whose love -anointed eyes reveal
The tale the words are telling.
SEQUEL.
ST. Valentine, at dusk that day,
Threading his saiBtship's ghOstly way,
saw, through curtained splendOr,
A oonqueror's head above breast
Where lay a fairer head at rest
In full and sweet surrender.

FOWLER, the phrenologist, says a
conceited man always carries his head
very high. Fowler probably never saw
a conceited man walking behind lady
as she picked her way over muddy
street crossing.-ChicGgo Times.

An Absent-Minded "PrOf."

A few DAYS since one of the Profess
ors perpetrated practical joke upon
himself worthy to be cherished in the
archives of the institution, He had oc-
casion to visit small closet, in which
the janitor keeps his tools, situated in
the basement, near the engine. Not
wishing to be disturbed while there he
locked himself in and slipped the key
into his pocket. During his manipula-
tions he forgot that he had the key in
his possession, and upon trying to get
out imagined himself the victim of some
malicious physicist. He waited some
time for his tormentor to repent, and
then became exasperated. He pounded
the door, kicked, wept, and swore
through the key-hole, but in vain. The
ianitor had gone down town, and there
was none to heed his cry. In the course
of the afternoon he returned, and accl
dentally discovered the mighty fallen
into a sullen fit of distrust, and destitute
of all confidence in humanity. Wher
the Professor sat down to his newspa
per after supper that evening, and, hap
penihg to put his hand into his pocket
found the key to that closet, he immedi
ately went into the back yard and ran ;
wheelbarrow back and forth over him
self for half an hour.-CorneU Unirer

 THANKsGvINe.-Our people observed this annual festival as usual. A large congregation assembled at the Center. and Rev. Mir. Hagen gave us a very inter- esting Centennial Thanksgiving serm on: Text, Acts 28; 15 s'He thanked God and took courage" sfF STEALING KENs.-John and David Hicks were brought before justice John H. Wadhams, charged with stealing two hens from Samuel Giilet last summer, and they were bound over to Litch- field. @,s COTTON FACTORY. The machinery at the Roberts factory, West Goshen, was bid of by A. s. Wright of LitchGeld; and the eqaity of redemption on the real estate was bid off by the First National Bank of Litchfeld. It is said that the machinery is to be used in a new Factory st Ban tam.
 WINTER. came in very cold, with the thermometer at 6 degrees, and the next day the mercury sank to 2 de- grees above Zero. There is but very lit- tie snow in sight, and the ground is fro zen hard. The springs and streams have started some, but the water IS very low in our wells and ponds. H. N.
