NEWS OF INTEREST TO OUR FEMININE READERS
A Valentine To HeaVGn.

(Wir Carleton, in Harper's Weekly.) Dear soul that took the starward
 flight And yet our Past a hope doth lend That thou canst read me as l write. And If not so, thou yet wilt know These whispers that are thine and
 mine: Fo1. God hath ways to make it so- And thou shalt be my valentine. But if by some good messenger This word must seek thy cherished
 name, Thy heart, I hope, will yet infer Some little ways of thought O. phrase, Some hidden thrill 'twixt line and
 line.
 That We two knew i'll olden days, Will tell who wrote the valentine. Sweet one. they cannot make me fear That stately Heaven can check thy
 glee.
 On bar me from the comrade- cheer That made the earth like Heaven to
 me!
 For cen amid thy toll to rid Of pain and sin our suff ring race, Oft came the merry laugh unb'd, That never lost its girlhood-gr So while the silver jest goes round, And while the air gives gold of mirth feel thy heart may yet be found Among the merriments of earth: Heaven were a task, could I not bask Within that merry glance of thine: And so, 'twixt smile and tear, I ask Thee, Dear, to be my Valentine.
