MORNING NEWS. Kate’s Valentine. By Harry Sunderland. Kate, my sprightly niece t like most young ladies ol'her age, has her own opin ions on matters and things currently trans piring. She thinks independently, and generally speaks what she thinks. Of course, her knowledge of human nature is not very deep, nor is she as wise in all her conclusions as she is led to imagine. I do not say this disparingly, for Kate has quite as good sense as, nine in ten who have only numbered heryears, which are about twenty-one. On one subject, Kate had, for a year or two, been particularly decided in her expression. The Valentine epidemic, vhich has raged so violently, she consid- ;red a social disease emphatically. It .vas no healthy manifestation of right feelings, in her eslimation. As last ale Valentine’s day approached, find the store windows and counter* be gan to be filled with emblematic love mis sives of all kinds, from the most costly, lelicate, and refined.down to the cheapest, and most vulgar, Kate exhibited more and more strongly her antipathy to the mstom about to be honored. “II any one were to send me a valen tine,” said she, “I would take it as a direct nsult to my common sense.” “Oh, as for that.” I replied, sportively, ‘lovers are not 60 silly as to address the lommon sense of those whose favor they desire to win.” “Whoever wins me,” was her prompt nswer, must appeal to that. At no other oint will l be accessible.” “We shall* see.” “And we will see.” “I’ll wager a new hat against a spring onnet,” said I, “that yoirreceive a Val- ntine this year from a certain young san named . Never mind ; don’t blush so; I won’t name him.” “I would discard any one who insulted tie with a Valentine,” replied Kate, in- Jignantly. “Don’t say that, for fear you will have cause to repent the indigcretion.” “Yes, Ido. say it. No man of good ^ense would stoop to such trifling.” “I don’t know, Kate. A little trifling, now and then, is relished by the best ol men.” “That’s rhyme, which does not always ?o hand in hand with reason.” “You’ll grow wiser, Kate, as you grow blde’r.” I “II that isthe kind of wisdom age brings, I’m sure I don’t want it.” I answered with a laugh, for to be ?ruve on such a theme w.as not in me. is the 14th approached, Kate frequent ly repeated her expressions of disgust at she silly custom of sending Valentines lhat had become so popular, and declared, aver and over again, that such a liberty with her would be taken as a direct insult, ind resented accordingly. Among the visiting acquaintances of Kate, was ayoung man named Loring,for fcyhorn I could see she had kinder feelings Ilian lor any other male friend,but,either in consequence of a natural reserve of char- icter, or because he was in doubt as to iate’s sentiments regarding himself, he never seemed perfectly at ease in her jmrnpany, though lie sought it on every proper occasion. I had him in my mind vhen I suggested the reception ofa Val entine Irom a certain young man, and ur> ^ er6too£ l me perfectly. Well, Valentine’s day came round. H dinner time 1 came home as usual, and [ most the first word my wife said to me ■’as— you think ? Kate’s received Valentine.” “Indeed!” i ! l V" e - U came by (he Despatch ost. I received it at the door, and sent ller room.” Hayy, yon seen her since V n "No.” “Of course, she’s particularly indig nant.” “I don’t know any thing about that. It was a handsome one, I infer, from the size and envelope; and had in it something hard, which I took for Jewelry—a breast pin or a bracelet.” “Where do you think it came from ?” said I, “I’ve guessed young Loring.” answered my wife. “If he has sent it, he has committed a great mistake,” I rep ied. “How so?” .“You know Kate’s antipathy to Valen tines.” “Young ladies often talk a great deal without really knowing what they say; and Kate is not altogether free from the fault.” said my wife. I readily enough assented to this. When the bell rung for dinner, Kate came down from her room. Her face was rather more sober than usual, and she did not join in the conversation with her accustomed animation. She was first to retire from the table. “I don’t think she is mortally oflended,” said I to my wife “No, not if I am skilled in mental in dications,” was replied. During the afternoon, two or three, more love missivis came; hut not aword touching their reception, or the feelings produced thereby, was breathed by Kate. It was plain, however, to one with even half an eye, that sire was pleased at the mark of attention, or, it might be, token of love. Evening, instead of being passed as usual with the lamily, was spent by Kate in her room. On the next morning, at the breakfast ’table, I mentioned the fact that a certain nuthberof Valentines had passed through the post office on the day before. Th's was in order to introduce the subject, and call out some remark from Kate ; but she remained silent on the subject, though not without indicating, by her heighten ed color and restless eye.that her thougths were busy enough. “I rather think our young lady has changed her opinions,” said I, smiling, af ter Kate had left the table. ‘‘Circumstances alter cases, you know, replied my wife, smiling in turn. On the next everting, young Loring called in. Kate Was longer than usual in making her appearance,and when she came into the parlor, was dressed with more than ordinary care. For the first time, I noticed- on her wrist a new and beautiful bracelet. She blushed, slight ly, as she met Loring; seemed a little embarrassed, but was soon conversing with him in an annimated style. “Did you see that new bracelet ? ask ed mv wife, when we were nrJxt alone. “I did.” . “Where did it come from ?” “Didn’t you say that in one of the Val entines she received there was something hard, like a piece of Jewelry ?” “Yes’, “That bracelet probably.” “No doubt of it.” “And, moreover,” said I, “it is plain that she believes the Valentine came from Loring ; for, at her first meeting with him, she wears it for the first time.” “Thus,” remarked my wifej “notiiying him that she receives the token kindly.”° I laughed aloud, for I could not help it. “Why do you laugh ? ” asked my wife. “She was going to descard any one who insulted her with a Valentine ; ” “That was idle talk. I’ve heard such things said before.” Two or three evenings went by, and Lor ing came again. Since his former visit,the new bracelet had not been seen. As we knew the young man well, and liked him the better the more intimately we knew him, we savy no impropriety in leaving the young couple alone in the parlor. From that time, there was a marked change in my niece. She was less spright ly and more absent-minded than usual. Next, her appetite failed her, and she be gan to grow thin and lose her color— sure signs of a heart disease. Meanwhile Loring was a constant visitor; and when ever he came, the bracelet was displayed evidently in token that she knew from whence it came, and wished its full ac ceptance to be understood. At last, I received a formal visit from the young man. and a formal offer for the hand of Kate. Ol course, 1 had no objection to urge. That matter was, in my mind, already fully settled. After that, the aforementioned was al ways to be seen on the arm of Kate. One evening, it was about a month before her wedding day, as I sat talking with Kate, for whom my Affection had always been as tender as that of a father for his child, I took her hand and said as I examined the bracelet— “This is very beautiful.” “Yes, I have always admired it very much,’,’ she replied, the color growing warmer in her cheeks. “A love-token I presume? And as I said this, I looked at her arch ly. The hue of her cheeks became still deeper. “A Valentine!” I added. The blood mounted to her temples- [NUMBER 2$. “But it was notan ordihary Valentine. It did not come from a trifler, and was not reoeived it as an insult. I thought you were not the girl, Kate, to reject a sincere offer.” Kate blushed still more deeply. “This little love-taken, dear Kate, is for thee : Accept it, and keep it, and wear it forme." As I repeated this couplet, the young girl started with surprise,and looked with inquiring earnestness in my face. “But I’m afraid, Kate,” said I, with a moaning smile, and a voice half regrertul in its tone, “that you wore it less for the real than for an imaginary giver.” She did not reply; but looked at me more earnestly, while a sudden light ap peared to break upon her mind. “Dear uncle,” said she at length, ben ding towards me, “had you seen this bracelet before you saw it on my arm ? ” Yes’ love,” was my tenderly spoken reply, and I pressed her #ure forehead with my lips as I spoke. “And you sent it ? She seemed half breathless as she a- waited my reply. “Yes dear.” She covered her face suddenly with her hands and sat motionless for some moments. In a little while,I saw a tear come stealing through her 'fingers. My feelings were touched, fori feared lest I had done violence to hers by this little confession ofa truth. But, ere I had looked for composure of mind, she with drew her hands from her face, on which an affectionate smile shone like a rain bow amid the parting drops of a summers shower, and said as she arose— “Henceforth, I will wear it for the real giver.” Bending to kiss me,she left a tear on my cheek, and then glided from the room. On her wedding night, Kate wore her Valentine bracelet, and I am weak enough to believe—if the sentiment may be called a weakness—that she prized it even more highly than if Loring himself had been the giver.

In cheapness as well as efficacy, Barry's Tricopherous is un rivalled. The immense cash sales of the arti cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it at retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty to one hundred per cent loss, than the price of any other preparation for the hair now in use. The scientific treatise on the hair and the skin, (embracing valuable, directions for the culture and preservation ot Nature’s choicest orna ment,) in which each bottle is enclosed, is alone worth the money.

PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY MORNING NEWS, An Independent Commercial and Nome Paper, to be Published in the City of Savannah. BY JOHN M COOPER, EDITED BY W. T. THOMPSON, Author of “ Major Jones’ Courtship,” “Chronicles of Pincville," “ Sketches of Travel," tfc- tfc. Experience ties proven both the practicability and usefulness of the penny Press. Within the few years past all the Northern and Eastern cities, as well as most of those South aud West of us, have been sup plied with papers of this description, whose small di mensions enable their publishers to issue them at a price solow as to place them within the reaeh of all, and thus to make them the best mediums for the gen eral .diffusion of information on all subjects bearing upon tile interests of community. By cheapening the Press, all have been participants in its benefits, while the publishers and conductors, by a greatly increased patronage,have been made umply remunerated lor their expenditure of capital and labor. Believing that the growing prosperity of Savannah authorizes, and that her interests demand the estab lishment of a cheap commercial and news medium, we have determined to publish the Daily Morning News ns nearly as possible upon the plan of the penny Press of the Northern cities. The Morning News will be emphatically a Com mercial Newspaper, devoted to the diffusion of useful information on all subjects of popular interest, and to the advancement of City and State, interests, gener- ally ; preserving at all times a strictly neutral and independent position in regard to Politics and Parties. Arrangements have been.made for giving the paper all the facilities enjoyed hy Che best Daily Papers, and no pains willbe Bpared to-make it satisfactory in all its departments, aud to give it the character pf a res pectable, useful, and reliable Journal. In view of tho great advantages which must result to the citizens and business man from the establishment of such a paperin Savannah, we fqsl that we may ask and safely count upon a liberal support.
