An Old Valentine,


Only a pallid brow from which the light
OF soft and loving eyes has long since fed;
Only the faded cheek and hueess Mp
OF one who long hath slumbered with the
dead
The faintest outline OF a portraiture,
The shadow of a semblance- nothing more
OF her who in the springtide of her youth
diadem Of matchless beauty wore.
But still for me it hath a spell beyond
The fairest face that ever yet hath shone
Beneath the cunning Of the masters touch.
Or painted canvas, or In sculptured stone.
Assurance of my hope once had craved
A gift from the dear hand of her wooed-
Some true love token might clearly read,
And half in serious half in jocund mood.
Her own fair miniature she gave to me.
And with blush that sweet confession
made
Called 1t my valentine, and archly said
Perhaps knew the meaning Il conveyed.
All, yes; but yet, alas, twas not to be,
For fate untoward otherwise had willed-
A few brief, anxious days, and in the end
persisted hope a promise unfulhlled
And through the vanished years which since
have cast
Their light and shades athwart my lonely
way
pne JOY supreme, one consolation sweet
Has been my dream by night, my thought by
day
A priceless treasure in that realm remote
Where no corruption is o. moth or rust
One other on this earth below have
The memory Of her whose heart is dust.

Eating Shoe Hash.

In London a century ago it was no
uncommon practice on the part of the
fast men" to drink bumpers to the
health of lady out of her shoe. The
Earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in
The Connoisseur, relates an incident of
this kind, and to carry the compliment
still further he states that the shoe was
ordered to be dressed and served up for
supper.
THE cook set himself seriously to
work upon it. He pulled the upper part
(Which was of fine damask) into fine
shreds and tossed it up into ragout,
minced the sole, cut the wooden heel
into thin slices, fried them in batter and
placed them round the dish for garnish
The company testified their affection for
the lady by eating heartily of this ex.
auisite impromptu."

Cupid Made n Raid.

Mr.. Stafford G.. Cook, a well known
citizen of Yorl; county, who resides some
three miles below Yorktown, had sim
gular and unique matrimonial expert
ence in his family last evening and this
morning.
Miss Mamie L. Cook was married this
morning at half-past 8 o'clock to Mr..
Simon Curtis at Lebanon church, War
wick county, by the Rev. w, G. Wade.
Invitations were issued to this marriage,
ard the father of the lady and all the
friends Of the contracting parties were
present.
Immediately after the above ceremony
Miss Mahaley Cook, the eldest daughter,
after witnessing the marriage Of her
sister drove to Williamsburg with Mr..
Copeland Sheild, to whom she was mar
ried in the parlor of the Spencer hotel at
1890 today. Those who witnessed the
marriage were Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer,
Mr.. A. E. Smith, Mr.. c. H. SHIELD and
Mr.. j. NJ. Cobb, who came up with the
parties from York. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. 7. G. Page, rector
of Bruton Episcopal church, of this
place. Mr.. and Mrs. SHIELD left this
evening for the groom's home near York
town. This marriage was without the
consent of the lady's father.
Immediately after this marriage infor'
nation reached here that the eldest son
of Mr.. Cook, DIR. Cook, had been married
on the evening before at Yorktown to
Miss Alice Minson of that place. 1t Is
understood that this marriage was also
without the knowledge of the parents
and family Of the groom.-Cor. Rich.

THE LOTTERY OF LOVE.

The Acta Sanctorum, or record of the do
ings of the saints, furnishes no authority
for connecting the modern epistolary prac-
tice of Feb IA with St. Valentine. That
worthy bishop of the early Christian
church is said to have suffered martyrdom
at Rome more than sixteen centuries ago.
Saints and sinners alike In our day
suffer species Of annual persecution
through what are called comic valen-
tines"-a species of coarse and often brutal
lampoon which affords opportunity for nos
intimes to express their opinions of us
with all the freedom that anonymity
grants. But among the avalanche of extra
mail matter which threatens to swamp the
postoffices during this first half OF the
month of February there Is a large ad-
mixture OF real sentiment. Hearts" and
darts" in rhyming juXtaposition might
no doubt be discovered beneath at least
half the envelopes while forgetmenots and
true love knots on the outside of many pro-
claim. the soft impeachment to the whole
world.
We fancy that the young ladies and gen.
tlemen who throng 'St. Valentines mar
ket" and scan it's quotations with eager in
terest concern themselves little about the
traditional basis from which the modern
custom has developed Still it is reassur-
ing to remember that Shakespeare knew
all about choosing a valentine" and for
aught we know may have spent long
winter evenings at Stratford in weaving
"Anne" and Hathaway" into his flights
Of Juvenile verse.
Ages ago in France and England the
day was celebrated by the drawing of a
valentine lottery" in which there were
no blanks, An equal number Of youthful
bachelors and maidens would inscribe their
names on little billets of paper, which were
duly shaken up in an urn and drawn. or
course it befell that every maid drew a
bachelor, and vice versa, and so he or she
became his or her valentine.
Beyond any manner of doubt 1t is to
Cupid, and not to St. Valentine, that the
tradition Of the day owes its survival and
perennial freshness.

which was brewed into ale. One who was
chosen for the purpose waded into the

Friendship and Love.

In the hierarchy of the affections,
women place love before friendship; men
place friendship before love, as did the
man of whom Alphopse Karr told, who,
on being refused by lady who offered
20 remain his friend, replied; Thanks,
madam, but | do not know you well

you, but my friend--no. Friendship i'm

Sir Arthur Sullivan, the composer,
was recently asked where he was able
to compose best, and under what cir
cumstances bis ideas flowed most freely.
He replied that there was no place
in which he had so many inspirations as
in railway carriage. There is some
thing in the rapidity of the motion, in
the changing of the iron and in the whir-
ring of the wheels which seems to ex-
cite his imagination and supplies mate
rial for host of harmonies.

Early Mental Development.

Both common observation and the
closest scientific study have made 1t
plain that youth is the period of sense
ascendency. From Ais most important
conclusions follow, which we cannot
ignore without paying a heavy penalty.
Attention has been called to the infant
in order to show that, prior to all school
education, nature asserts herself and
points the way in which the human
brain and mind develop. ANY educa-
ton that overlooks these facts is directly
against the organization we possess, and
must be more or less Of u failure. es-

Decidedly American.

One of the cant epihets put upon
President Cleveland's policy in
the Hawaiian affair is that it is
"un-American." Only the most
brazen hypocrisy or purblind parti-
sauship would venture upon that
obvious deceit.
The Presidents policy is dis
tinctly and decided American.
If it isn't American, genuinely and
Enthusiastically American, it isn't
anything. 1t cert,inly is not the
policy that would have been pur-
sued by England. or France, or
Russia, or Germany. or Spain, or
Italy, or any oth,r power under
the sun except the United States.
No country and nc people except
our own could have brought forth
q policy so uuselfish, so inst, and
so honest. The President and his
colleagues, convinced from infor-
nation of indubitable accuracy
that monstrous wrong had been
committed in the name OF the
American people and under the
violated authority of the Govern
ment. bravely and boldly deter
mined to right that wrong. They
decided that the stolen goods should
be returned. OF course, those who
had played the principal part in
the robbery protest against such
course. Unfortunately. too, they
have succeeded in corrupting the
public conscience-sedueing. it by
arrul reminders of the magnif-
cence of the surrendered plunder-
and so they are enabled to make a
fine show of popular support in

The Bluinc of Clothes.

How much bluing should be allowed
to tub of water, and what kind is best?
If clothes are too blue, how best to coun-
teract the next time? There are num-
Der of very good bluings in the market.
Indigo is of course one of the best. After
the tub has sufficient water, add, if you
use liquid blue, sufficient to mako it a
light blue color. Take the softest fabric
you have, an old handkerchief, for in
stance, dip it in the water, wiring it out.
If it is not blue enough, add more. If
too blue, add more water. Fine fabrics
take tho blue more quickly than the
coarser ones, so always try with fine
piece. If you use dry blue, dissolve it
first, not more than half teaspoonful
in bowl of soft water, then strain this
into the tub. Never under any consid-
Grafton sprinkle dry blue into the tub,
or the clothes will be spotted. These
spots will after turn into iron rust
marks
