FROM A VALENTINE

You needn't be-" said that delectable gentleman. I'm just as full of sentiment in spite of my years, as I was when I received my first Valentine, which read something like this:
 "As sure sas. the vine grows round the stump
 "2You are my darling sugar lump" Fancy a sweetheart of today sending verse like that" sighed The Peach. If more verse were sent about the simple things of life like sugar Jumps and plain old stumps, and vines, thered be more old-fashioned love matches,' de- clared The Major.
 But a girl would hate a man who would send such a thing" said The Peach.
 "Oh, no. she wouldn't; she'd love him for it. Girls don't change. Everything else does, except the feminine heart-even Valentines" the Major said, peremtorily. Tt doesn't make any difference what words are used to express the feeling though, for
 "'Who in this vain world of woe shall discover
 "The home undisturbed-th green Isle of Lovers"

 You should have told him just to wait until he falls in love-" said The Peach. 'I did," replied the Major. land he de- clared that he was a married man with five children
