MY VALENTINE.

In the happy long ago,
When my Love was very young
When rocked her to and fro'
And her lullaby l sung;
When her cheek so soft and lAii'
Nestled often close TO mlne'
Then at nrst l did declare
Daisy was my Valentine
Later when her loving lips
Little loving words essayed,
whsn her curls with golden tips
little CLEANS OF sunshine made,
when her little dimpled arms
Round about my neck did twlne,
Daisy, with her chubby charms,
-Dsisy was my Valentine.
Now, though years have passed away
Years-why, bless mel near score
She's my valentine to-day,
And love her more and more;
Love her that the light is true
Which from her dear eyes doth shine
And, because she loves me too,
Daisy is my Valentine.
Other years shall pass away.
Other loves than mine come TO ner;
To my lass on some ine day,
Some liue lad will come 10 WOO heI'
Let this laddie's love be leai,
Be as fond and firm as mine
let his heart be true as steel,
Would be win my Valentine.
He must be both brave and true,
He must love both God and man,
Then, whene'er he comes to WOO,
He NAY win her. il he can.
Through his lips his heart must speak,
Through his eyes bis soul must SHINE
Through bis life her good must seek'
If be win my Valentine.
When these future years have flown,
Fly they must, they cannot stay
Daisy still viii be my own,
Though she give herself away.
Whereso'er her lot may be,
Howsoe'er her heart incline,
She'll be ever dsar to me,
Ever be my Valentine.

SOME interesting facts concerning the
relative vitality of males and females are
stown in the forty>sixth annual report
of the English register general. In each
1000 living persons there are 4S7 males
and 513 females; but for every 100 fe-
males 1885 males were born. At every
age of life the death rate was lever in
the females, and the difference is greater
in early years. In both sexes dimin>
ished death rate is taking place. This
is more marked in females than in males
at all ages. The Improvement is espe-
cially notable in women up to forty-f1ye
and in men to thirty-ive. The mean
expectation of life of male at birth is
Al So, and of female 44.62 years. The
annual expectation of illness is, counted
by days, nearly the same in both sexes.

COMPULSORY SUFFRAGE.

II has been ascertained that of the
registered voters of Cincinnati, 4,60O
failed TO cast ballot on election day,
and the Cincinnati SIM is of opinion
that seventy five per cent. of this mum.
Der were business men. \ similar
neglect Of duty prevails generally in
all our large cities and II Is well un-
derstood that by far the greater pro-
portion Of those who stny away from
the polls belong to the classes having
the most direct intrrcst IN The election
of good men to Office aud the right
Kind of municipal legislation.
The reasons nsi ned are familiar to
allwho have given the subject any at
tention, ana In most Instances they are
frivolous or otherwise invalid. Strange
asst may seem, thousands upon thou
sands OF conservative citizens, whose
votes might turn the scale Of an cleo.
iion in favor OF themselves and their
property--iu favor of law, order and
honest govCrnmeni--ycar after year
surrender the tremendous power Of the
ballot TO the corrupt and irresponsible
clements OF The community in which
they reside, with The too common con.
sequence Of ga,e dctriment to the
lullic welfare.
IL would seem that the safety of n
mans own Interests would be sulici-
cnt incentive to the invarlablo exercise
of the franchise, but 1t is not so; aud in
view of the evil results of such dorC-
liction, the question may very properly
he considered whether 1t were not better
tomake compulsory the performance OF
trust which is 60 easily and often
evaded. Disfranchisement under a
popular government is looked upon
as an oppression grave enough to be re.
sisted by revolution, yet how many
men voluntarily disfanchise themselves
without deeming it in any sense O
wrong. They should be taught that
the bestowal of a privilege so precious
as the right Of suffrage, carries with il
a solemn obligation to exercise the
right; and if no other means can bt
found to impress upon them the bind
ing force Of this obligation, why no
interpose law and penalty to bring
them to proper sense of their duty Il:
good citizens?

IHE OLD CITY CHURCH.

Tho moon and stars were shining down
On the silent streets Of the mighty town,
And heard the bells from distant tower
strike out the solemn midnight hour;
Ard then, as stood IN the shadows dim,
There came the sound of an old, old hymn,
And my heart was lull Of peaceful tears,
As heard the hymn of my younger years
] know not II was dreaming there;
But the great streets melted away IN air,
And there rose the church where first had
prayed;
! heard the notes Of the organ played;
] saw the sun on the window shine,
felt my mothers hand In mine.
And my heart was fun and my eyes were dim,
As we sang together the old, old hymn,
The morning broke, the church was gon0,
The tramp of feet once more rang on,
But turned again 10 the press Of life
with heart refreshed forthe Ceaseless strife
For knew that, II only men will pray
With the simple faith of childhoOd's day,
In crowded city or lonely hill,
The same dear God will listen still
