.-V ClrsitiN'fi Valf.N'itxk. —Til.' following valentine was picked up near the Post Oilice the other day, and handed to us lor publica--1 v<>ll :—" Dear Afollie,™>l"y lore for you is stronger than ihe smell of'old butter, Switzer cheese, or the kirk of a Jerusalem pony or mule, just as yon wish. It is purer than the breath of a young crow, and more useful than tin? caterwaul of a young kitten. As a song biul hungers for (he light of day, Ihe cautious mouse for the fresh bacon in the trap, as a lean pup hungers after new milk so do I long lor thee. Vou aiv fairer Mum a speckled pullet, sweeter than a Yankee doughnut, fried in sur'hum molasses, brighter than the topknot plumage of :» Muscovy Drake. You are eandy kisses, poundcake, and sweetened toddy altogether. Lt these few remarks will enable you to see the inside of my soul, I shall be as happ3* a.i a woodehuek in a cherry tree, or a stage horse in a green pasture. If you cannot reciprocate my thrilling passion 1. shall pine away and die lik«* a poisoned bed-bug. In coming years, when the shadows grow long from t.tie hills, and tlie philosophic trog sings his evening Itvmn, you, happv in another's love, can come and drop a tear upon the last resting place of your once dear love.—J.3S.M, «—AripJ York Picayune. _
