A. VALENTINE.

Accept, der vile, this little token,
And, if between the lines you seek,
You'll find tie love I've often sposen-
The love I'll always love to speak.
Our little ones are making merry
With unco ditties hymed in jest,
But in these lines, though awkward
very,
TIE genuine artc o's exp es ed!
You are so lar and sweet aud tender,
Dear, brown eyed little sweeIh'ar,
mine,
AZ when, a callow youtr, and i nder,
asked to be your valentine.
What though thsse years Of o IFS be
feeting?
What though the years OF youth
le flown?
I'll mock old Kronos with repeating.
81 love my love, and hCr alone"
And VIXEN 1 fell before His reaping,
And when my suffering speech is
done,
Think not my love is dead CT sleeping
But that 1t waits for you TO come
So be, dear love, this little token
And if there speaks in any line
Tie sentiment I'd lain haze spoken
Sly, will you kiss your valentine

We have no prejudice whatever
against tie English people, but the
foreign policy of Great Britain is one
that hss no attractions for anyone who
loves free institutions. AS a people
we have always encouraged every re-
public in its struggles for freedom, and
Congress ought now officially to give
expression to the sentiment which, we
are sure, animates the bosom OF the
republic. 1t is great shame that
this war should have been undertaken
by Great Britain. The Transvaal aRd
the Orange Free State had perfect
right to pass the laws they did, although
the laws were harsh and bore heavily
upon those who had adopted a resi-
denee in the country. We possess
