HER VALENTINE.

Behind the curtain in the windows bay,
There were the hyacinths upon the sill
Woo the pale February sun to fill
Each tinted calyx with the warmth of May,
Stood Marguerite, and from letter took
A crimson rose, whose perfume opulent
Chilled with despair the hyacnths, that bent
With Difference till every petal shook.
And to the flower there chung, with love-knot
tied,
A tiny scroll, on which were fairly writ
Some lines of love, or poesy, or wit,
Or all; for, as she read, no art could hfdee
The flush that tieeting pallor oft replaced,
Naugbt could suppress the heaving of her
breast,
Or hull the CULVER of her lips to rest.
And these the words that on the page were
traced
'.Go to my love, dear rose and say, and say,
How fair her image grows from day to day;
Tell her from me, with thy sweet breath, tho
last,
How firmly Cupid's chain has bound me fast.
Tell her, sweet rose, oh, whisper in her ear,
A thousand messages of hope and fear;
All the rich incense OF thy life bestow
On lips that rival the in garnet glow.
Do this, my rose and thy brief span shall be
Not all in vain: / will remember thee
Above all others to thy name and kin,
And her heart, too, shall fondly take thee in. -

warning"
"And you just leave the gate open and
go to bed feeling perfectly safe. The
first Hyena who comes footing around
your Mutton will find his heels breaking

agreed that the gate should be left open
and that the Wolf should stand guard.

Fold and the Shepherd ran out and dis.
