THE OLD VALENTINE.

A souvenir of the bygonc years,
Breathing old odors faint as musk
Which roses spill in dew and dusk;
Its baZoncd pages duilcd by tears;
Its faded Cupid dropping low,
With broken wing and rusty bow;
~ leaf of life turned old and scar,
Yet still she holds it sweet and dear.
For love cmbalms each simple line
OF that old, faded valentine.
She pores upon the cherished page
A lily past her morning glow,
But fair as in the long ago
10 such as she what matters age,
Whose love is agclcss, and whose truth
Makes in her soul eternal youth?
Still unforgottcn kisses thrill
With rapture her swift pulses: still
She cries: "IiOw bright this world would be
Could you, Love, come back to me,
AS once my own and only mine,
My bonny knight and valentino!
Tho fault was minc-oh, haplcss fatel-
To learn our needs and blame too late,
When prayers and tears cannot atone
For wrong and sorrow dealt our ownl"
But, 10, Il tread of eager feet
PrcsaEcS something strange and sweet
He comes, forgiven, to forgive!
sweetheart, TO love that is to live,
And love like ours can never die"
Nor need To voice her hearts rcpyl
More eloquent the dumb, dear sign
or that long treasured valentine

soundness OF trade, not withstandng in
