An Old Wifels Valentine.

The old wife stood at the garden gate
The eve OF ST. Valentines Day;
She watched for the post, that like Fato
Just stopped and then galloped away
Just stopped, and then like waning light,
Passed over the hill and out of sight.
Her granachild tuyged at her shawl and gown,
And her daughter called, sweet and clear,
Mother, come in, for the cakes are brown,
And the boys and father are here"
"Ah, yes" she said. land the night is cod;
quito forget that Pm growing DID,"
At breakfast lay st the fathers place
A letter az white as the snow;
Hs looked at it with curious face,
And said, "Now, l want to know =
The boy. all smiled; the mother grew
Der face and throat crimson hue.
He opened the dainty letter then,
And 10 in its satiny fold
Was painted rose and forgetme not,
And lilies with hearts of god
And under the whole. inst one sweet line
Forever, forever thy Valentino
He touched the note with tender care,
And he went to his sweet wife 8 side;
He stroked with his hand her snow-white hair,
And kissed her with loving pride.
Saying with smiles aud misty tears,
My Valentine through fifty years."
"Oh, boys" he said with youthful pride.
After fifty yesrs Of life,
II you find, in your home and by your side,
fair and faithful wife,
Count your life lucky, es I count mine,
And Loyalty kiss your Valentine"

To THE unsophisticated the new lights
that have dawned upon republican Coz
gressmen seem passing strange. The COZ
ersssmen referred to though now denying
the rights of the minority In Congress, were
formerly the most earnest advocates OF mi
nority rights. and though formerly In favor
of gerrymanderipg States for congressional
representation, are now utterly opposed to
any such System. They confess that they
were wrong, but say they have seen the
error of their way. Sophisticated people
know better, and are convinced that were
the republicans in the minority in Congress-
they would not hesitate to revert to their
former ideas on the matters referred to, and
to declare that their fore, were better than
their hind sights.
