SOUKS AND V VLRNTINE8
By request we publish the follow
ing verses which wero found in one
of the sooks handed in at the enter
tainment of the Ladies Aid Society
Thursday night:
Within this dainty sock 1 plant
My hard earned pennies down.
And trust that for each penny brought
I’ll win some future crown.
Let’s see—there's twenty and just one,
Ail shining bright and new,
(And if I gHin those twenty crowns,
Why, pou shall haye one, too.)
I've tried to write thislittle verse,
And get through in a minute;
It’s bad, perhaps, could have been worse,
And that’s all there is in it.
Ta. tn. adieu, some charming lass
Should come so dove-like cooing;
This valentine, I hope, wont pass,
And leave me still awooing.

A VALENTINE.
To Miss A :
Sweet A , this returning day.
Finds me t-ruo to thee in heart;
Not one inconstant, sickly ray,
Within its shrine doth hear a part;
Sweet A , be mine,.
My Valentine.
Diana, in her midnight reign,
Attests my sighs in dreams of thee;
My roarings, oryings oannot wane
Until I’m from this thraldom free;
That blisstnl time,
Sweet Valeutine.
For thee, with Pluto I would share
A dish of crow in cave forlorn,
Or shave my cot. with Arctic fare.
With polar hears—the Unicorn;
I’m truly thine,
Loved Valentine.
For thee, Pd say farewell to all;
My pipe, tobacco, toddy too,
To Bacchus, bid adieu—the ball,
Gool lager aud champagne eschew;
O! speed the time,
Dear Valentine.
For thee, Leauder’s fame should pale,
I’d swim the olassio Flint a yeftr;
Like Jonah, masticate a whale,
Or take oold poison without fear.
Mine in each line,
Sweet Valentine.
I’d wade without my socks or boots,
Lake Douglas, in this wintry blast.
I’d live on gophers, jay birds. roots;
My lot with wild cats sweetly cast,
If y -u'll he mine,
My Valentine.'
For thee, rpon my foaming steed,
Pegasus like, through storm I'd fly,
Through tangled woi ids and briar weed',
While yellow jacket# I’d defy;
O, say I’m thhie,
Loved Valentine.
For thee, defy earth’s darkest scowls,
Join the Pythians—bear each load;
Live with bears, Ocklocknee owls;
Eat gator fried, or a la mode.
If tlion’d be mine.
My Valentine^
Your peerless self, O. give to me;
OI Queenly A . fair one! be mine
A sunbeam iu my heart ’twilT he;
Be more to me than Valeutine;
For bliss 1 pine,
Sweet Valentine.
—Edward.

The Charity and Help department is
one of the most important depart

every way possible, supplying them
with food aud clothing, and every
thing needful for their comfort. The

AT Tllb SET UP THB SDK.
At the set of the sun.
Wbeu our work is done,
With all its tangled weh;
When the clouds drift low.
And the stream runs slow,
And life is at its ebb;
As we near-the goal,
When the golden bowl
Shall be broken at its fount.;
With what- sweetest thought
Shall the hour be fraught,
What precious most shall we count?
Not the flame of the sword,
Nor the wealth we have stored
In the perishable things of earth—
Not the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
Though that were of precious worth;
Nor the gain we achieved
Through the hearts we have grieved.
And left unhelped by the way;
Nor the laurel of fame,
When, for worldly acclaim'
We toiled in the heat aud the fray.
Ah. nyl 'tis not these
Will give our hearts ease
When life sinks low in the west,
But the passing sweet thought
Of the good wo have wrought,
The -lulddned lives we have blest.
And the lose we have won.
And M .e love bccko;;i..i > .

HIGH DIVER IS DEAD.
Many of those who saw “Profess
or” Thompson and wife make the
“high dive” nt the carnival held in
this city last fall will regret to bear
that the unfortunate man lias made
his last dive. The following from
the Selma, Ala., correspondence to
the Montgomery Advertiser tells the
story:
“News reached the citv today that
Thompson, the high diver who was
here with the, street fair, is dead,
he was killed at Jackson Miss.,
where bis foot slipped as he was
leaving his stand some 85 feet above
the ground. The unfortunate man
struck the ground between the lad
der and the tauk of water, breaking
his neck. His wife declares she is
going on diving until she is killed.
Thompson always said bis prayers
while in this city before cliinbiog to
the giddy peroh from which he leap
ed. Many persons expressed regret
over the accident,”
The executive committee of the
Southern Colton Growers Associa
tion met m Atlanta Thursday to con
sider matters of interest to their peo
ple. It was the purpose of the meet
ing to secure a more systematic ef
fort on the part of each state to briog
about coucertcd action iu the matter
of scouring better prices next season.
