Monday next is the day when many young bulies and gentlemen's heart will flutter over the several anony mous missives received by them. We observe that in many citic s at. the .N ortb, it is to bo ushed in by VtllenlTne parties. They are quite entertaining and conducted iu two ways: "The. hostess invites her friends, ex peeling each to .-end at least one valentine, original verses of a humorous or baute ring sort being most desirable; The writer, whose name need n t. be known, must indi cate whet her the missives are intend ed for bulies or gentlemen, the hoste.-::; addressing them as she chooses, with out knowing I heir contents. The other way is for t! c hostess lo furnish each of her guests a list of those ex pect cd,-thereby giving them an oppor tunity to write their valentines lo purlieu lur persons. The valentines should be sent to her before the parly. When the guests have assembled, the lady of the house produces the valen tines, and dclivcis then: out one at a lime, I he recipient being compelled to reael them aloud for (he benefit of the com pa ny." Why can not Orange: burg have a valentine parly. The following hahdtfd lo us by Prof. Berg should warn our people against the use of lucifor matches: "A genial old man in Baltimore, who was fond of children, and often gave them cake and eanbies, recently gave three little girls some cakes which be took from bis pocket. He also ate some himself. The old man soon complained of not feeling well, went lo his home, and retired lo his room. Meanwhile the little girls were taken violently ill, and the one who had eaten the most cake died during night in great agony. Word was sent of the calamity to the old man, but when the incBsengor entered bis room he was found dead. It was ascertain ed th: t both deaths wcro caused by the eako, which had been in contact with lucifcr-matchcs in the old man's pocket, where be carried them loosely." A LEA P YEAR TE A < lEl) V? They stood together in the entry beneath the ball lamp, in a certain hotel in Oratigeburg. "Then Henry," she said in a low voice, wherein were blended determination, melancholy and love, "you refuse my suit J" "Yes, Elia," he replied in accents that were linn, though tho speaker's voice trembled. "1 admire you; I will be a brother lo you, and watch with pride your course through life, and if ever trouble should befall you, tboro will at lea -' be one friend lo whom you can come for succor, but 1 can never, no never he your husband." "It is not because I am poor, Henry. For, oh, if that were all, I could toil glad ly from morn till night lor you, and strive and win a home for you, hum ble it .night be, hut our own." "It is useless to attempt to induce me lo change nxif determination. Though I am but a poor, weak man, 1 can never, never change my mind." "Then, cruel young man, so fair and yet to false, farewell. To-morrow you will see my mangled remains on tho lecture platform, and know that it has been your work. But it will be too late," and, clasping him to her hrsnm in wild embrace, she (led into tho outer darkness.
