=" The PRErTIEsr GIRL"

Ne had such fun on Valentines Day
WITH the little girls who live over the wayI
Teddy and 7, and Jed and Joe,
And wrote EN- things about "Violets blue,
Ana sugar Is sweet, and SO are YOU"
And only that Bobby said IL was mean,
wanted to write: 1.-THE grass is green,
And so are you" and send it out
To girl we fellows don't care about.
But Bobby he's queer, and doesn't go
FOR run ike the rest of us chaps, you know.
Why, who do you think he chose to be
His VALENTINO? Now, il I'd been he
IA rather have chosen-Neyer mind;
III tell you about it, and you will find
That ever you wanta fellow that's queer
You II get him in Bobby, never you fear.
You see, we boys, we had all picked out,
As told YOU the prettest girls about.
But Bob he said there wasn't a girl
as pretty us his, and there wasn't curl
On any girls head that could half compare
with his chosen Valentines soft, fine hair;
And he said her eyes were a whole lot bluer
Than any skies, and double the truer,
And that he was going to be her knight,
And take care OF her always with main and
might.
He wouldn't tell us his Valentines name
I'LL the regular day of Valentines came,
And Mamma had hers, and Sister, you know
!
Then Bob he told us TO come ahead,
Aud he'd prove the truth OF all he had said
Aid where do you think he took us boys?
flushing us up at the leastest noise,
And making us promise not TO laugh,
Nor quiz him. nor give HIN any chnH?
Why, he opened Grandmamma's door. "See
there!"
He said.
100, 1t was Grandmamma, I declared
Grandmamma sitting and knitting away;
Sweet Grandmamma with her hair so gray,
Lying all soft on her forehead in curls
Just rs pretty as any girls.
And never noticed before how blue
| Were Grandmamma's eyes. 1t was really
| true,
AS Bobby HAD said, that there never were
| skies
| One bit bluer than Grandmammas eyes
! So she was his Valentine, he was her knight
And somehow we ali thought Bobby was right
| When he kissed her hand, and cried, in gee;
! Dear Grandma's the prettieSt girl you sec
| Of course chose her instead OF Mamma,
| For she, you know, belongs to Papa
But Graudpa's in Heaven, and so | knew
| That Grandma must be my Valentine true"

meditative tone.
"They amt snakes" returned
George quickly, his round face turning

George sat little while longer; then
he rose slowly and left the room.

People who write for livelihood get
some queer propositions from those who

the literary machine. There is prevailing
idea among those who have never dab5lcd

Granite Pedestal is nearly completed, and
the work of erecting Bartholdi's great
statue will soon commence, aud for this
purpose considerable amount of money
is still required. The Ne,o York World
Fund of 800, 900 completes the Pedestal,
but 1t is estimated that $4,000 is yet
needed to pay for the iron fastenings and
the erection of the Statue, and for this
they rely upon the subscriptions for the
miniature Statuettes, which are being re-
ceived from all sections of the country,
