Among the sets OF cards the prettiest
are six representing flowers against a
square panel OF blue sky. The dandelion
is grouped with Its dentated leaves and
with one blossom that is in the ghost-like
state called witching out; the butter:cup is
tied up with grass blossom; the daisies
stand by themselves, and the yellow rose
is relieved by its own dark leaves. The
blending OF colors in these cards is very
striking, and apart from their notices
they will be priced by those who receive
them. The fifth and sixth cards in the
serious represent the jasmine and its pink
tipped buds, and the amaryllis, and are
beautiful in grouping, although less attrac-
tive than the other four. The most ex-
pensiye American valentines are set Of
four containing eightpages each, the cover,
which is stiff, has the inscription APP
propriate for the day on its first page; the
valentine itself has poem printed in
carmine on the pink damask ground OF its
inner pages, and an atectionate motto
entwined with lilies and violets on the
first leaf; the first page differs, being some.
times clusters OF roses lying on a desk OF
gold: sometimes pansies on golden
heart; sometimes chrysanthemum and
sweetwilIiam, and in the very prettiest,
big yelvety pansies lying on Ivy leaves.
The poem on each valentine OF this set re-
fers 10 the flowers. Fans in three or four
different shapes are the neatest among
the small designs, and are especially pretty
to send to ladies who have fancy for
decorative art, as shown in the manu-
facture OF screens ornamented with bright
cards and photographs. These fans make
the prettiest finish TO corners, and fill up
any vacant space admirably. Last Of all
come the Boston valentines painted by
hand and with blank spaces for original
poems; these may be said to hold half
way rank between those which are bought
quite finished, and those that are alto
gether made at home.

HOW THE FARMER MISSED 1T.

From the Burlington Hawkeyc.
II had told her In thu spring
The old, old story briefly,
When the sparrow and the robin began 10 sing,
And the blowing was over chiefly!
But haste makes waste, and the story sweet,
1TeaSOned, will keep through the sowing,
. TIL drop the corn and plant tho wheat,
And give them chance for growing.
Had told the tale In June,
When the wind through the grass was blowing,
Instead oil thinking II rather too soon,
And waiting I'LL after the moving;
Or had hinted under the stars,
That knew 4 story worth heating
Lingering 10 put up the pasture bars,
Nor waiting TO do the shearingl
Now the barn Is full, and 50 Is the bin,
But I've grown wise without glory,
Since lsye Is the crop not gathered In;
For my neghbor told her the story.

What n Few ofthe Leading Styles will be
This Year.
From the Boston Transcript.
The American valentines come early
this year, and are SO pretty that unless
their English and German cousins follow
quickly there will be no demand for them.
They are OF innumerable sizes, as they
have been former years, but the prettiest
among those Of moderate dimensions have
for backgrounds solid mass OF violets,
apple blossoms or pausies, upon which lie
a gilt panel with picture Of girl, and
a label inscribed with sundry verses, re-
ferripg to the flowers and interpreting the
supposed feelings of the sender, unless,
he be skilled with the pen and
chooses to buy card with a blank label
rather than to say
tVIOlcts are blue,
Loves eyes are bluer,
know, know;
Some mems hearts are true,
Maids hearts are truer,
'TissO. It's So"

ALBASY, n. y, Nov. 22.-At the meeting OF the

general handed down an opinion In the matter Of
tho protest against canvassing the vote of O3wego
county, which had been given to the state en-
gincer 10 lay before the board. The facts upon
which tho protest IS based arc that in tho eighth
ward of Oswego the inspectors refused to canvass
10 republican ballots which were indorsed on the
bac, aud on tho top. The return was sent back to
them for correction, which they refused to make,
and tho county board of Ganyassers rejected the
outirG return and certified to the state CanyGssers
tho yotO in all the county but the eighth ward Of
Oswego. The attorney general says: Tho question
now arises whether upon the Information thus
conveyed 10 Us the state bOlrd OF cGnVaSsUrs should
attempt " supervise the action of the board of
county cauyuSsGrS of the county Of OsWego.
No motion is made to that eject by any mem Der
OF this board, nut ono Of the members has deemed
II his duty ~ present the papers TO the board for
their consideration. The powers OF the board of
slate canvnssors arc limited aud plainly defined.
They arc required TO act and can only act when
they proceed to determine ana declare what per-
sons, by the greatest number of votes. huye been

cGlved by them, rs prescribed by law | have no
hesitation In concluding that we are bound to act
upon the regular and lawful Certificate aud 10 re-
lect tho irregular papers presented to us. These
Views arc supported by the decision Of the court
