w. A. Curtis was in Granite City
Tuesday last, in search of a position,

Our President. John Wood. sur
named Jaquith, bethought himself to
spend a pleasant evening with his best
girl Tuesday last. To think is to act
with John, so armed with his o%vercoat,
though the evening was warm, he
journeyed by street a to his destina-
ton. After spending a pleasant even
ing-in fact he had such an enjoyable
time, that when the time came for his
departure, John vas so excited that he
failed to recognize his o~vercoat, and
consequently the small brothers was
missing the next morning. The next
day the temperature was somewhat
lower, and o%vercoats were in demand.
Then the fun began. It goes without
saying that the coat was several sizes
too small, and John .srasseled" with
the coat, and said things but all to no
purpose. He had to shiver until
Thursday night, when by the kindness
of the small brother a change was eff
fected, and John is happy, and prom
ises faithfully to not let it happen
again.

LOVE YOU, DEAR.
A scent of violets in the air, and singing birds,
A beauty newborn, fresh, and fair, too deep
for words,
A little maid with floral crown on hair OF gold,
And blushing cheeks where lies the kiss OF
lover bold,
Whose boyish lips a story tell into her ear,
AS bending low he whispers, 81 love you,
dear"
A breath of roses in the air, and lilacs sweet,
A SUNNY sky of azure blue that Belleville
morn doth greet,
A maiden crowned with ~womanhood, and
robed in purest white,
With smiling lips, and in her eyes a tender
light,
Before the altar stands, and answers clear
The one who whispered soft and low, II love
you, dear"
A whirl of snowfakes in the sir, a cold gray
sky,
Where scudding winds and wintry blasts &c
sweeping by,
A woman with a crown of years of silver hair,
And faded cheeks where youths fair bloom
once fingered there,
Besides the hearthstone knits and rocks
while some one near
Bends low his whitened head and says, 81
love you, dear"
