A VALENTINE.'I ! • Go. Valentine. I do not darei To go my myself and speak . __^ The word which, like the morning air. Shall tinge this Rose’s cheek. And when you see the scarlet tint > ^ Across her features climb, Betraying in a blush a hint How she accepts my rhyme. Know this: if I her heart have won, Her lips shall part and tell; If I have lost, your day is done—- A swift match, and farewell. Go, then, and while I madly hunt In love’s devouring fire, 1 i 1 live if she one word return^ * )r else, like you, expire. —Frank 1>. Sherman, in Harper's. V. H HUMOR OF THE DAY.

Wick wire—“There are a heap of things a man thinks he knows until he has an occasiou to air his learning, and then he finds out that he is not so smart after all.” Yabsley—“What got you into that state of mind?” Wick wire— “My ten-year-old nephew has been at my house for a week. ”— Terre Haute Express. A Paris masher, in hard luck, entered a third-class restaurant; a waiter, for¬ merly employed at the Cafe Anglais, recognized him and whispered in a tone of surprise: “Can Monsieur think of dining at a low hash house like this?” “Well,” said the discomfited dude, “You’re here, ain’t you?” “Very true,” the waiter said, with an air of pride, “but I never dine here.” The Most Widely Read Author. The author whose books have the largest sales in the United States is a Bt. Louisian, and the chances are that there are not 100 people in the city who have ever heard of him, His work is uot that of a genius. It is hack work, pure and simple, but he makes more money than Howell, James, Mrs. Bur¬ nett or any other American author or authoress. This author’s name is J. W. Kuell, and one of his books has been sold to tlie extent of 1,000,000 copies. The books he has written are never heard of in the literary world; the literary review¬ ers pay no attention to them. They are sold by subscription all over the coun- |ry. ,.iat is They wisely are calculated usually bound to sell in the a book styl« where the contents certainly would not. >uell catches a fad and writes a book to Meet the fashion, and in a few weeks of ■ 1 ’mpitation comes forth with a volume that is greedily seized. Buell is wealthy, but he hasn't enriched literaturee to any areat extent.-#. Louis Star-Sayings, Value of Earth Worms. The weight of earth worms bring to the surface yearly is enormous. Darwin esti¬ mated that worms, by swallowing earth for the sake of the vegetable matter it contains and forming castings, bring to the surface as much as ten tons* of earth per annum on an acre. Worms are great promoters of vegetation by boring, per- foiatino- and loosening the soil, and ren¬ dering it pervious to rains and the fibres of plants, by drawing straws and stalks of leaves and twigs into it, and, most of all, by throwing up such infinite numbers of lumps of earth called worm casts, which form a fine manure for grain and grass. The earth without worms would soon become cold, hard-bound, void of fermentation and consequently sterile; this has occurred in many cases where the worms have been either accidentally or intentionally destroyed, and tjie fertility of the soil thus lost has only been re¬ stored when the worms had again col¬ lected auu resumed their fertilizing work. The Alexandria Library. A Vienna journal says that the story of the burning of the Alexandria library by the Mohammedan conqueror is a myth, and not an historical fact. The state- ment thus appears: “The investigation of the famous Fayum collection of Egyp¬ tian manuscripts, bought by Archduke Rainer, and deposited in the Imperial Library, Vienna, has been progressing for some two or three years. The work has been rich in important results, including the discovery, by incontrovertible evi¬ dence, that the story of the destruction of the Alexandria library is a fable.” $2,500 Reward for n I.ost Cat. The equivilent in English money of London $2,500 was once offered by, an old lady m for the return of a favorite cat which had strayed or been stolen. People called her a “crank,” and perhaps she was. It is unfortu¬ nate that one of the gentle sex should ever gain this title, yet ninny do. It is, however, frequently not their fault. Often functional derangements will apparently change such a suf¬ wo¬ man’s entire nature. Don’t blame ferers if they are “cranky,” but tell them to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which is an infallible remedy for “female weak¬ nesses.” It will soon restore them to their normal condition. It is Warranted to give satisfaction in every case, or money paid for it will be r eturn ed.

As they ship paying, anywhere, with privilege to examine before and pay all charges if not satisfactory, the buyer runs no risk. See their advertisement, and send for catalogue.
