ST. VALENTINE,8 WISDOM.
Cupid sat near to St. Valentine,
He was sorting out his darts,
Repairing his bow and his quiver,
And toying with broken hearts.
Said he to the saint, with weary sigh,
"I'm tired of this frailless hunt.
*Time was when a dart of elder pith
Would pierce the very core
From sordid, leathery hearts today
My arrows fall dull and blunt.
- common heart, and the tougher ones
  it would make exceedingly sore.
'Now naught but an arrow tipped with gok
Will reach a vital part.
And no such thing can be found today
as a flaming, burning heart."
"The turtle dove it has quite gone by,
And welded hearts are passe,
Said the aged saint, "You quite express
The thing that I meant to say,
And we've got to use modern methods,
If we'd make the business pay,
And wieded hearts are passe,
But any battered old coronet
Has a cinch to win the day.
"And the very swellest new design for sealing lovers' letters.
And a pair of golden fetters.
You would hardly guess! 'Tis the dollar sign
And a pair of golden fitters.
*Then take advice, if the game you'd bag.
Don't aim at the shrunken heart."
Annabelle Henchman in Eureka, Louisiana.
And draw a bead on the scheming head— Don't aim at the shrunken heart."
—Augusta L. Hanchert, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for February.
A SAD WEEK
For Willie Weeks, a poor man,s
The year has gloomyily begun
He was beset with bill and dun.
And he had very little
"This cash, 'said he, 'new' not pay my dues
I've nothing left but ones and
A bright thought struck him, and he said:
"The rich Miss Goldcocks I will
But when he paid his court to her
She lisped, but firmly said; "No
"Alas" said he. Then I must die!
I'm done! I will drown! I will burn! I'll
burn!
They found his gloves, coat and hat
The coroner upon them
Michigan, Illinois, Notre Dames, Purdue, and other western colleges have tried graduate coaching and having failed to turn out as good a team as formerly, have concluded that the fault lay in the coaching, whether just or not, time will tell. Indianapolis Press.
Outside Opinion on Graduate Coaching.
It seems that the system of graduate coaching, started in the west several years ago, has about lost its favor, and that the western colleges will again go back to the big colleges of the east for their teachers. It is too bad that the present movement has set in. It is not a self-reliant attitude of the western colleges. It is an admission that the' western players have not been taught the game as well as the eastern brothers.
Bulle, Kitchener a hot Warre Look Ailker Students of human nature will find much food for study in the published portraits of Generals Buller, Kitchen and Warren. All three bear a marked resemblance in the general characteristics of their features. All have the stern mouth partially covered by a military mustache, wall have piercing eyes, all have the determined chin, and all have a severely military bearing All are disciplinarians of the strictest type, and all regard the common soldier as but an integral part of the mighty machine which is to do his bidding, no matter what the result—Indianapolis Press.
The East must beware of the literary Lochinvars of the West. The West has passed through its transition period. The battle against nature has been fought and won. The wilderness, the prairie, and the desert have been conquered. The struggle has not been without its effect on the victors, for it has brought forth a race of giants, strong, alert, and exultant. The energies thus developed will be directed into the field of literature. The West has been written about in the past, but the writers have come from the East and elsewhere. Here after it can take care of itself. We predict that writers from this section will be characterized by a virile power and originality such as has not been seen in American literature for a third of a century. —Washington Post'

An exchange gives the following idea of the duty of students to their college paper: "He that hath money, and refuseth to subscribe for his college paper, but rather looketh over his neighbor's back to behold the contents thereof, is like unto an ass, who, having a manger full of straw nevertheless cribbeth that of his blind companion, and then brayeth loudly in brutish glee.

The lilly of the valley has been found at last. Far from being as innocent as it looks, the lovely and fragrant white flower is chock full of prussic acid, the deadly poison lurking in stalks and petals in dangerous abundance. So potent is the venomous juice that if a small quantity of it be absorbed into the system it immediately produces painful effects, which might occasion symptoms of an alarming nature. It is well to remember, too, that if the dead flowers are eaten by young birds or pigeons the poison inevitably proves fatal.

Marie Corelli Coming to America.
Miss Marie Corelli is to make a trip over to the United States. Talking of America and the Americans in an enthusiastic way, she says:
"I am going over to America. I like Americans so much. They are so keenly intelligent and quick in thought."
The charming little authoress has strong ideas that Englishmen could borrow much from Americans in the way of moral and physical energy or the sake of the advancement of their country.—London Letter.
AMONG THE POETS
In women and in man I find it not:
I almost weary of my cartrys let:
For this true nobleness I seek in vain.
In women and in men I find it gritty.
My life springs are dried up with burning pain.
Thou tnds't it not? I pray these look again.
How is it with thee? Art thou sound and whole?
Look inward through the depth of thine own soul.
Doth narrow search show thee no earthly pain?
Then will light around thy path be shed;
Then wilt thou see it gleem in many eyes;
James Russell Lowell
How does the soul 'grow? Not all In a minute;
And thou wilt never more be sad and lone.
—James Russell Lowell.
Do it, do it and do it, that is in other men, sleeping, but never dead
Hurrah then, sleeping, but never dead,
Will rise in majesty to meet thine own;
Be noble, and the nobleness that lies
Now it may lose ground, and now it may win it;
Now it rejoiceth, and now it bewaileth;
Now its hopes fructify, then they are
blighted;
Now it walks sunnily, now gropes be- nighted;
Now it resolves, and again the will faileth;
Fed by discouragements, taught by disaster.
So it goes forward, now slower, now faster.
Till, all the pain past. and failures made whole.
It is full-grown, and the Lord rules the soul.

VENUS IN THE EVENING.
Beautiful Planet Going Higher and Higher These Nights.
According to the astronomical data for February furnished by the Washington observatory, Mercury passes through superior conjunction Feb. 9 and may be seen as a low evening star the last few evenings of the month if the atmosphere be very clear. Venus continues to appear higher in the southwestern sky as the brilliant evening star. The disk is now a little more than three-quarters illuminated, so that in the telescope the planet appears like a moon between first quarter and full. The planet is increasing its apparent brilliance more rapidly as its orbital motion brings it nearer the earth. Jupiter is the highest star in the morning sky and is seen in the southeast, reaching the meridian at about the time of sunrise. It is followed by Saturn, which is seen in a lower position in the southwestern sky. Mars is still too near the sun for observation.
