a VALENTINE.

II was ever and over so long ago.
When knew no caro- and my heart was gay
Whom the sights Of the show SGT my pulse,
aglow,
fused to look forward to Valentines Day.
And counted tho letters, l read with delight
Andboliovod every wonderful word TO be true
So l say TO the children with eyes shining
bright:
lam glndit is Valentines Day-for you.
1t seems like n dream to look back md recall
What splcndors Of fairy romances were mine
What thoughts could cnthrall and hidden from
all
How dwelt In n world that was wholly divine.
The letters have ceased Us the years have gono
by,
But Iwrito them sometimes as old drcnmcrs
do
And say to each child with smile and sight
am glad II is Valentines Day-for you.
Cut ever and ever so long in two,
one year received, in such scrawl that
smiled,
A letter knew had been printed all through
BY the dear little hand OF my own little child.
"Dear Mamma" 1t began, "you are sweetest
and best;
Ilovo you, and am your Valentine true;"
So for that child'Srcmembrancc, say to the
rest;
am glad 1t is Valentines Day-for you.
hti' VIZ uO HOJ lOTBot Nlul is past long ago
And the same littlo valentine each year Is
mine.
That 1 never can show, least my hot tears
should now
of the love of an angel, token aud sign
And thrill as / think OF my youthful delight
Though the dusk ofmy hair has whitcned, it's
true,
So say to the children, with eyes shining
bright:
I'm glad 1t is Valentines Day-for you.

FALSEHOODS OF VANITY.
Silly Fibs Invented by Vain Pretenders
to knowledge.

to knowledge.
If there is n special favorite among
mortal weaknesses, it is probably
vanity. We call it foible, yet it is
the prolific mother of vices. Among
its progeny are falsehoods innumer-
able. For example, the fibs that vain
pretenders to knowledge will tell to
conceal their ignorance are as the
sands of the sea-shOre. How seldom
one meets with Frenchless lady, who
is willing TO acknowledge her French
lessness. "Do you speak French,

And yet, perhaps, the respondent never

she claims to have spoken French. Go

people there who dare not look at the

it is to be thought erudite, will over
whelm you with sententious remarks
on new works, of the existence of
which they would have been ignorant
but for newspaper criticisms and
magazine reviews. Superfciality and
falsehood are showy but weak

1t has been discovered that West

Grandfather Adam and Grandmoth-

Goodman's winesaps. The stump of
the identical tree under which Mrs.
Adam was beguiled Is just south of

or cowboys, but the fig tree is there
from which Mrs. Eve manufactured
her fashionable but somewhat scanty
wearing apparel. 1t is dead now

for circus tents, and hop poles are
made out of timothy stalks. Jack
rabbits grow as large as horses, and
tail feathers of wild geese make ex-
cellent fence posts. The wheat is
larger than the corn in most States
and 1t is dangerous to plant rye, as
the roots have TO be grubbed out be-
fore the ground can be plowed. A

Pea-pods are used as ferry boats over

are much sought after for walling
wells and terrace work. Rye straw

thes anne of pairs, besides as much
more of other sorts of fruit.
But, Mr.. Merrill. if all go to set
ting, will it not lower the price?
No danger of that for statistics show
that city people now only get about
four apples apiece each year. and 1T is
plain we have but just begun to ship
apples to Europe. AS soon as we
have enough fruit to bring them here,
the buyers will be competing for our
crop, even on the tree.
But you have to wait ten years be-
fore any returns.
Not if you properly set and care
for your trees however, this wait
ing is Just why all will not 90 into it,
and why it will always be profitable.
The doctor looks down your throat

for the same reason that fruit grow
ing is more profitable than to grow
buckWheat. Because money and eff
tort are unremunerated for several
years. The multitude want quick
returns and glut the market with
their labor and their crops {; the few
manage to wait and in the end reap
a rich reward. 81.
