lows:

This being st. Valentines day YOU
your humble correspondent receive,
the following valentine:
REPORTER
"orall the bold disgusting beats,
You and your mate are far the worst;
You are n prying. brazing sneak
ofdecent people held accurst.
You live by lies and SANDER low,
! Have L respect for age or youth;
Invent your tales, when news is scarce;
And never tell the honest truth"
o, poor me! Don't you pity your cor
respondent, Mr.. Editor? 70 the es
teemed sender of the above lines, / sa!
that those who, without knowing Us
think or speak evil of us, do us NJ
harm; it il not us they attack but the
phantom of their own imagination
| perJum sat Sopt nt! Me .ntime kind
| ly call the sender's attention to the fol-
| lowing facts, viz:
/. Every fool thinks himsel
smart, while the wise maj
knows that he is fool.
.. A slanderer is like person wht
has rancid respiration; everybody
smells it but he, himself, not.
8. A person with an evil conscience
resembles fireplace which smokes
all the time, or a thunderstorm with
out rain. 1t is complainant, judge
| and executor in one person.
( A. There are lots Of people fifty out
! of every Notwithstanding that IA
vor the whole world with compliments
and show that they are everybody's
friend-while in fact they are the least
of it, /. e.: they are, but without an
"r'-in order to be popular. Such
people are like the Egyptian churches
4 whose outside pomps are 80 much al
mired, while inside 1t has no God but
J "monkeys,n "kats" and ''bucks!"
/, 8. Flattering friendship does not last
long, but true friendship Is forever
| the former is like water-drop and the
| latter likes precions stone--both ere
| CHANGING with the same gntter
but one vanishes at the easi
est breeze or aspiration, while
the other withstands the force OF steel
etc. one borrows his shine from tht
light, while the other carries the llghl
In its lap and propagates 1t to the
darkness. Let us see what Cowpel
says about friendship. Here IL Is;
ON fLATTERERs.
No mischief worthiero Of our fear
In nature can be found
Than friendship, in ostent sincere,
But hollow and unsound.
For lull ed into dangerous dream
We close infold a foe
Who strikes, when most secure we feel.
The Inevitable blow.
While on "a True Friendn he says
Hast thou friendg thou hast indeed
A rich and large supply,
Treasure 10 serve your every need,
Well managed iii you die.
6. The Italian proverb, "Iddio a
guardid di miei amici, al miei aemit
mi 0uardO 10 tesso,p I. e.: "Lorc
guard me from my friends; from ~
enemies will guard myself" is now
a.dsys very often true!
