VALENTINE,

ciation.I
1t was the 18th of February. The
sun had come out and made things
look very bright aud happy, and in the
southern country ITS light was so
warm aud pleasant that three little
girls had come out among the grass
and trees to write their valentines.
These girls were Seth Cranberry
three little states, as they were called.
The two Cranberry brothers, Seth
and Josiah, were farmers, and their
large farms joined. The brothers were
twins
They were married ON the same day,
There had been sort of agreement
between them that whenever baby
girl came to the household Of either
she should be given the name of a
state III the Union.
SO it came about that when some
years had gone by there were six little
states, three i'll each family. The Toys
did not count III This union, for it
would not do to caII ii boy Texas OF
Mississippi.
Then came the time when Seth and
Josiah ceased to be twins III spirit, for
they had IA serious quarreI about the
planting of division stake and the
ownership of three or four feet of
land. Seth, the more self willed of the
two, had planted the stake where he
pleased. aud Joe had submitted, but
from that day the brothers had not
spoken to each other, aud the six little
states, who loved each other, had been
separated
Seth's XOuri, whose real name was
Missouri, had just declared that SHE
would send valentine to Uncle Joe.

other day" she said. and he talked
to me real nice. | felt sorry for him.

never go without clutches any more !"
Lous'any and Georgia said they were
quite sure that Zouri would be whip
ped if she did not keep away from
Uncle Joe's folks and stop sending
valentines there But Zouri was the
youngest Of the three and not old
enough TO be very cautious. Besides.
she had little curly red head and bel
fathers own willful spirit.
She went on painfully writing tue
words of her valentine:

you wud cum over and set on the uther
