TO MY VALENTINE.

IWritted for The SUNDAY Herald.l
Dear Valentine I've counted DER
My friends most charming brothers,
And still I find l love you more
Than any of the others;
And oh, my heart would be so sore
If you were all another's.
1 love you Life would lose its charms
II 1 could think not this;
And when the cruel world alarms,
It is such happy bliss
To find shelter in your arms
Upon my lips your kiss.
Your praise. though lighter than the
winds,
How much my pathway cheers,
Then something swells my throat and
blinds
NY eyes with happy tears:
And when you praise, the old world finds
1 laugh at all its sneers.
You come at Fancy's fitful. play,
And at her sudden flight,
1 call you and would bid you stay
You vanish from my sight.
For you, you are so far away;
1 am alone tonight.
In Loves domain there are no laws,
And so / do not bother
To hide my love in formal clause,
Though some, perhaps, would rather.
l wonder If ii is because
Because you are my father?

A Perpendicular Farm.

Julian Hawthorne writes of "a
Tropic Climb" describing one of his
experiences in Jamaica, for the Feb
ruary Century. Mr.. Hawthorne says:
The land w here is doubtless govern
ment land, which sells for about so
cents an acre. If, however. it is meas
ured on the horizontal, such an estate
as this must come cheap indeed; for
l don't believe the horizontal extent of
this plantation, which might have had
an acre of a quarter of an acre, was
more than Is or 20 feet. 1t is a per-
pendicular region. The most convent
ent way to operate such holdings would
be to rig a derrick to the top, and
swing the man with the hoe by rope
in front of his field of labor. He would
have to be careful in gathering his
produce, lest it Should escape his
grasp and roll half a mile down into
the depths of the valley.

Tho angel Of death visited our COM
mnnity last Saturday, October E3rd, at
about 4 o'clock in tho morning. His
cold, clammy hand stretched forth and
stopped tho pulsation OF ono OF our
youthful hearts. Atter q few weeks
illness, John Olen Sease, aged If years,
l month and q days, quietly gave his
spirit into the hands Of his Master. 10
he cut down In the bloom OF young man
hood Is extremely sad and peculiarly
significant. "Oftcn have l thought
when gazing on tender flower that
had bloomod and died away, while
others. loss lovely, blGomcd in radiant
life around, that the sweetest flowers
soonest dio." Tho hopes of his parents
wero blighted, and tho expectations of
his friends disappointed. Our commu-
nifty has lost truthful, honest and
bright young man. Ho was highly
thought and spoken of by all his associ-
atcs, school-mates and teacher. But
this was Gods will, therefore we should
not murnur.
"For we must part, and parting weep,
What else has earth for M In store?
These farewell pangs, how sharp and
deep!
Thcso farewell words, how sad and
sore!
"Yot wo shall meet again in peace,
TO sing the song OF festal Joy;
Whore mono ehall bid our gladness
coaso,
And mono Our fellowship destroy.
"There, hand to hand, firm linked at
last,
And heart to heart, enfolded all;
We'll smile upon the troubled past,
And wonder We wept at ALL"
His remains werc carried to tho COM
etery Of st. Paul's church for inter-
ment. The burial ceremony was con-
Quoted by> Rev. J. A. Sigh. Thus we
laid him to rost. The fragrance Of his
life always perfumed tho atmosphere

he moved. May tho love, grace and
comfort OF tho gentle Jesus who called
him to Himself, rest upon no family
