Coarse Valentines.

Many a sensitive child's feelings have
been hurt by receiving a coarse valentine
rldiculing, it may be, some infirmity or
fault the child is faithfully trying to over
come. Miss Harrison, in her mothers
class in this city, urged mothers to dis
countenance in every way that they could
the buying or sending of coarse, vulgar
caricatures known as "comic valentines"
'"The right attitude" said she, "of the
child is that Of reverence or looking up
All that takes the bloom off of life in
jures the childs growth. Comic valen-
tines are not only coarse and low, but
they give wrong, exaggerated impressions
of life to the child, and thereby injure his
intellectual growth as we'll as his spirit
ual fneness Of fiber.
''To prevent desire for them, begin by
telling the story of the life of the man
who was so good and true and unselfish,
whose aims were so high and whose pur-
pose was so noble that after his death
the people who had known him or who
had known of him loved to speak of him
as st. Valentine. Next show how it grad
ually became the custom to send little to-
kens of affection, messages of cheer and
of remembrance by way of celebrating
this saints birthday. See that the desire
thus aroused finds outlet with the child
in the right kind of valentines purchased
and made. Let him send them to the
people he loves. The valentines which
are made by the child are, as a rule, more
healthful than those that are purchased
by the mother for him."
Miss Harrison then showed several
pretty ways of folding and cutting the
old-fashioned valentines used in our
grandmothers' days.
IF this plan is carried out" continued
she, Il think you will have little need to
forbid the purchasing of the coarser arti-
Gle The incongruousness of the thing
will show itself to the child. Remember
that the grotesque leads into the coarse;
the coarse into the impure; the impure
into the obscene. "-Western Rural.

mitted that she was little better than the
father. They ruled their children by
harsh methods, they were not cleanly
and they had never cared for better
things. Therefore, Abraham, when he
was years of age, had not learned to
read or 'fgger,' and his sister, two years
his senior had not Jared better. 1t was
possibly a good thing for the nation, as
we'll as the boy, that, when he was
wears old, his mother sickened and died.
The father and son whip-sawed lumber
and made a crude box into which the
corpse was placed. Twenty settlers gath

Remarkable Family Record.

The Peters family of the town of Lit
tie Chute has quite remarkable record
as a numerous family. A brief sketch is
as follows: Martin Peeters and katherine
VolIeberg were married July 2, 1861, n
Holland, and came to this country in
1878, settling in Depere, afterwards NOV
ing to Little Chute where they have since
lived To them twelve children were
born, all of whom are still living and
most of whom are now married. AT re-

eight grandchildren present. There has

there is little doubt that Lincoln would
not have risen higher than the illiterate

81 years old when he accompanied his

Curious Old Tradition.

There is a curious old tradition that the
birds select their mates on st. Valentines
day, which is more interesting in the at
tention accorded it than in itself Shak-
speare in his midsummer Nights
Dream" makes Theseus say when he
suddenly stumbles upon the quartet Of
lovers asleep in the wood:
St Valentine is past!
Begin these WOOd-birdS but to couple noW7
One of Chaucer's stanzas pictures Ma
ture reminding the ''foules" of her mex
orable laws:
Ye know we'll how, on st. Valentines day,
By my statute and through my goVernance,
Ye do choose your mates.
DR.. Donne also has indited an ode to
ST. Valentine:
Hail Bishop Valentine!
All the air is thy diocese,
And all the chipping choristers
And other birds are thy parishioners.
Thou marryeSt every year
The lyric lark and grave whispering dove,
The sparrow that neglects her life for love;
The household bird and his red stomacher.
Thou max st the blackbird speed as soon
As doth the goldfnch or the halcyon.
st. Valentine, as a hierophant of the
heart, has no more devoted disciple than
our ancestors. w.
The very children in the country towns
of England decorate themselves with
holly wreaths and true lovers knots and
move in professions, from house to house,
singing:
Good-p.orrow to you, Valentine;
Curl your locks as do mine
Two before and two behind
Good-moTrOW to you, Valentine.

The last time he was here was when en-
route to Washington to occupy the place
which the people of the nation had elect

and she would have gone with him if she
would have listened to him. The eyes
Of the nation were on him at that mo-

was centered in the little cabin. He had
paid off the mortgage with the first
money he had ever saved, and he sent
her money as long as he lived"

The Golfers Valentine.

Where'er l look, whate'er the place,
Mine eyes are stymied by thy face!
Whate'er l try to do the while,
My stroke is fooled by your smile!
Where err l walk 1 can't dis uise,
My steps are bunkered by thine eyes!
Some days when thou art kind to me
My heart is lofted gloriously.
But when alas! I have thy frown,
IT'S topped AID sinks, and sinks deep down.
Sometimes. when listening to thy mirth,
I'd try to loft the whole glad earth,
And make each mortal on it see
How sweet life's fair green is to me.
All, Phyllis dear, my souls so wrapt
To think of thee, I'm handicapped!
But on my knees I beg the joy.
OF being just thy caddy-boy.
