VALEHTIHE'B DAT. luilerlnar Hearts-Gy stud Gro leequo Miaelves Mll and Marry. men, To-iuorrow will be St. Valebtine'sDsy, and ere tbe sun has gilded tbe plain two hours with refulgent glory there will be a flattering of little hearts equal to the quivering of tree leaves in a storm, and the jocund sound of sweet voices asking for tbe postman, and the melody of soft whispers telling secrets like the warbling of birds. 0, it will be lively, spicy and jelly a world of hopes, fancies, expectations a round of beautiful sentiments and silly absurdities madrigals in arabesques and sonnets in piquant borders Titania and Oberon in gold and silver and Puck and Bottom in tbe gayest and gaudiest colors such a lot of little sweets and sours as to make feel "We are snob stuff As dreams are made of." MiBS Scarechildren and Miss Outofdaia will of course growl over this jubilee of young hearts this carnival of Love this holiday of Fancy this feast of Pleasure but who cares for their growls who cares for their vinegar looks or weird-like wrinkles? the doves will coo, and coo, and coo, though all the buzzards flaD their wings in spleen; and their tender hearts will go Plt-a-pat, whlrl-a gig, rub-a-dub in spite of the world.

And is right they should. Who with reason would stop the bounds and spring-tides of the fresh blood of Youth Love may be, as Rosalind says, "merely a madness; but then it's a very sweet sort of lunacy and if Miss Outofdate bad such a wealth of golden curls and such angelio features as our Violas, Mirandas and Jessicas, she too would be flirting to-day with This wimpled, whining, purblind, wayward boy. This senior Junior, giant-dwarf, Dan Cupid H.n, nf l.rd of folded trml. The anointed sovereign of sighs and groans." Open, then, the mail-bag, and with mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come." Let the sun play upon the beau tiful white missives; but plunge the saucy ones deep down in yonr pocket. It won't do to let every one hear Puck say Lord, what fools these mortals be," Remember, young ones, that although you may twitter in pairs like sparrows, there are swimming about ravenons kites who would like to dash at you.

Keep out of their way with your pressed flowers. ribbons, sentiments, and the whole corps of CuDid's artillery. Don't for the world let daws see the rhyme printed on tbe richly embossed notepaper, else they might say it was like cutler's poetry upon 8. penknife: Love me, and leave ma not." To yonng men we recommend the spirit and lively air of Gratiano, who wrote valentines on bis shirt-bosoms and son nets on the crown of his hat. Why should a man whose blood is warm within si.

But perhaps tbe Clown's reply to Sir Toby Belch expresses tbe sentiment of many of our young bucks on this jolly day: What Is love 'Ti. not hereafter i Present mirth halh present laughter hat 'i to oome is unsure, la delay there lie.

no plenty Then oume kiss me.sweet one and-twenty. Youth's a ttaff will not endure." It is very likely the ditties of some love-lorn swain will be thrown out of window, pitched into the fire, or placed the Lord knows where; and to such we say don't be discouraged," your ladylove only jests. Listen to what Valen tine of Verona says If she do frown, 'lis not lu hate of yon, But rather to bes-et more love in you If she do chide, 'tis not to have you gone) For why, the fools are mad if left alone. Take no repulse whatever she doth say For i'l vov gun. she doth not mean away Flatter and praise.comoend.egtol their graoes; Tho' ne'er so black, say they've angels' ioe The man that hath a tongue I say is no man.

If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. Speed thee, postman, on thy rounds: there will be maids and merrymen in parlors, balls, bay-windows, or door steps, at gates, everywhere, anxiously awaiting your arrival. Amanda will be in fidgets to see her cage of pink paper, inside of which a goldfinch is sitting on a bough, and a streamer of white ribbon hanging from his bill, with "love me" in goiden letters upon ii Augustas will bite all his fiBger-nails off if you don't hurry np with that brown envelops containing a cartoon representing his mustache curled in the latest style and his nose adorned with a pair of green goggles. On, oa, postman, on, with envelopes of all sizes and patterns big and little, long and narrow, white and yellow all covered with the queerest handwriting a postman ever aaw. Let the jet and spray of sentiment flow.

Powers, wbo built our county jail in a style creditable alike to his skill and the county's enter prise, and who is at present our County Trustee, proposes to construct iron bridges and iron roofing of every de scription, be undertakes he will execute in the best style. The roofing as constructed by him is espe cially recommended as a safeguard against disastrous fires; and we believe iron bridges are cheaper and more dura ble than any other kind.
