HIE OWE&ON STATESMAN: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12. 1SS6.
SONG.
"Written for the t.vtbsmak.
I am Bad, and bo 1 will sing,
For song is a sovereign bain),
That robs every grief of its Bting
And throws over Borrow a calm.
X am glad, and then I will sing,
For gladness Bent forth in a song
Will vibrate along the harp string,
And thus the bright phantom pro
v long. . f ( ,
I love ; it is good then to sing,
For love when expressed in a song
Will stir the heart's deepest well
spring
To heaven such anthems belong.
Whentingry it is best to sing,
For anger pent up in the soul
Is such a contemptible thing
That it mars the beauty of all ;
And if I can woo my kind muse
That spirit will not tarry long,
For never will anger refuse
To be quieted by the Bweetness of
song.
And hate with its withering breast,
The poison that cankers the soul,
like a simoon, that brings with it
death,
The most loathsome person of all !
Ho, muse, come and bring all your
choir
Can you not vanquish this fieud?
Hither with harp and with lyre
And make each man brother and
friend.
Salem, Feb. i. L.A. A.'

EOSES AXD XILtES.
BY J. D. HOtt-NEE.
Written lor the St atis m as.
The ruddy rose, amid the thorns
And leaflets green which she adorns,
Sustains her charms, preserves her
grace,
And heavenward lifts her lorely face.
Although her rough companions pierce,
With lances keen and daggers fierce,
The rose untarnished lives and dies
As do the brave, the true, the wise.
And though in life one oft receives
A pang from some unfriendly source,
'Tis sweet to know that roses bloom
Midst winds and rain and thorns and
gloom.
From out their core, as pure as snow,
The lilies of the valley grow ;
And lovely iu their innocence,
Tiiey gently bow in reverence.
As from the heart the actions grow,
A duty to ourselves we owe,
To do the right, and that in love,
Though fading here to bloom above.
The rose adds beauty to her thorns ;
The lily pastures green adorns;
The world conceals its faults to please,
And ever basks in Eden's leas.
Aromas from these flowers unite.
And lure our prayers to yonder heiit,
Like treasures gained within earth's
walls
That lead us to celestial halls.
Bloom on, bloom on, thou lily pale,
In meadows fair of hili or dale,
Thine own soft colors give to thee
A tender look of modesty.
Blush on, blush on, thou ruddy rose,
Midst ashen faces and pallid brows,
Pure token thou of a sinless breast,
Where truth and peace, like angels, rest.
A Carious Courtship.'
In the good town of Thorick, far north
of the Tweed, dwelt the sober, silent se
rious Andrew M'Xab, unmarried and
alone.
Pastor of a numerous flock, its mem
here especially those of the fair sex-
were much exercised about his solitary
condition. More than one lady of his
parish had recommended him, with sis
terly solicitude, to change his estate, and
had hinted in the most delicate manner
possible, that a suitable companion might
readily be obtained . Poor, dear man, if
lie had a sister or a mother at that lonely,
lonely manse it would have been so dif
ferent, but he liad not even an attached
female servant to make tidy his fireside
and to put his slippers if he liad any
in the fender. Rumor asserted that no
charwoman ever crossed his threshold,
and the appearance of things as Been by
the penetrating glances of those who
went to consult the worthy man in his
study, was enough to rend their maiden
hearts, especially when they reflected
how easily such a miserable state of
things might be remedied. They disqui'
eted themselves in vain, for, whether
from natural obtuseness, or from his
own private opinions upon matrimony,
M'Nab seemed profoundly ignorant of,
or absolutely indifferent to, the disad
vantages under which he labored, and it
may be believed that to the end of his
days he would have quietly plodded
along in single blessedness had not the
daring, not to say outrageous conduct of
a widow lady of his congregation brought
about a crisis. She, it appears, conceived
and carried into execution the bold de
sign of crossing the sacred threshold of
the hack door of the manse, and with
unprecedented self-denial, "reddening
up" with her own fair hands without the
permission, still less the invitation, of the
worthy M'Nabe,who would have remain
ed in total ignorance of the fact had not
her conduct brought forth a perfect Btorm
of indignation from every female who
"ent under him."
They were outraged at the atrocious
behavior of "this person." One protest
ed Bhe nearly fainted when she heard of
such infamy. Another was saved from
hysterics by learning that "that dreadful j
woman" had not penetrated beyond the
kitchen, but an individual bo lost to all
sense of decency might repeat her otYonso,
if permitted, and it was impossible to
predict what she might do, The whole
fraternity if one may speak of a sister
hood were of one opinion. "The thing
must be put a stop to," whether the sub
ject in that emphatic sentence were the
abandoned female aforesaid or her indes
cribable procedure not being clearly de
noted. Fathers and brothers, and even
husbands, were appealed to; the case
must be laid before Kirk Session.
Accordingly, upon the next Bitting of
that august body, the ruling elder a hus
band and father (of many daughters)
brought the matter before the court and
spoke seriously to their respected minis
ter of the dangers of his position, and of
the advisability of his selecting a suitable
partner for life", and so preventing a re
petition of the late unseemly scaadal.
To all of which the good man listened
with some amazement, gravely opining
that no such alarming occurrence had
taken place as that described, but upon
being assured of the fact by so many cred
ible witnesses he be can to comprehend
tho situation; and when it was further
represented to him that the thought to
his congresration of an "unconnected"
woman in the manse seemed as unlawful
as human hymns in the church, whereas
if he would take to lnmso'f awiie. it would
be as the Psalms of Itavid, he felt con
vinced that ho must take some steps in
the matter, and expressed his readiness
to toliow the suggestions 01 las mentis
and colleagues, but he must desire them
still anther to tender their assistance, as
he tomid it impossible to choose Help
mate. Could uii?r name one
Here was a delicate task. The ruling
eider aforesaid thought M'Nab must be
bereft of his senses not at onee to see tne
advisability of selecting one of his seven
lasses, but thinking that perhaps he found
it ditlictilt to decide upon one among so
many equally deserving, with a father's
preference for his firstborn, ho(M:icin
tyre) was just forming 'the sentence:
A weel, there s oor Jean," wnen anoth
er, swifter in thought and nUemnce (and
not a family man) struck in with:

done, wi'oot freens o'ony description,
w oils is a consideration of importance.
Couldna' vc choose ane of them?"
And lt'ore the &:acinlvre could obieet.
Mr. M'Nab, with unusual promptitude,
answered decisively;
"Ay! ny! I'll seek for the eldest."
Such a determination commending
itself to tho rest of the assembly, it onlv
remained to be carried into execution,
winch Mr. M'Nab was recommended to
do at as early a date as possible.
Accordingly, the good man at ah early
hour, having put on his great coat and
takea his umbrella, as prepared for the
worst, sai'ed forth, and proceeded to No.
5 Fir street.
Now, I must premise that the dwellers
in that modestabode.tuojgh so familiarly
designated as "the two Jamieson lasses,"
were by no means young and giddy
creatures, likely to lead the worthy An
drew M'Nab into any cause unworthy of
his name and calling;. Tiiey were women
w ho had long since come to the years of
discretion. They were often described by
their acquaintances as "superior." They
were the orphans of a military officer,
though of what rank does not appear, and
managed to subsist "generally" upon a
very slender pe.ision.
Miss Jamieson and Miss M-t-'-'v Ann
Jamieson bv no means underestimated
tncir social status; they were quite awa e,
too, that it hid been said of them that
they miht have long since entered the
estate of "matrimony" if they had not
looked to high. With such a reputation
it was natural mat thev should not lend
too willing an ear to a suitor.
lint to return to M'Nab. Duly arrived
at his destination, and being ushered in,
he osLed to see Miss Jamieson. That
ladv complvin? with the request, ascriijed
to the ecentrictty of her visitor the early
hour at which lie had called, little imag
ining the purport of his visit.
After a brief salutation, M'Nab, who
hadnothtken a seat, but stood firmly
grasping his umbrella, with the air of one
intent upon the steedv discharge f.f an
errand, proceeded at once to state his,
in tne following terms :
"Madam, I have been recommended
bv my Kirk Session to seek a wife ; they
also advised me to ask you if you would
marry me. I have come this morning
desiring to know your mind. Have you
any objections?"
Now, had her worthy pastor pointed a
pistol at her ear and demanded her purse,
Miss Jamieson would hardly have been
so completely taken aback; indeed, utter
amazement can onlv account for the an
swer she gave, and her subsequent con
duct.
"Indeed, Mr. M'Nab," said she, blush
ing and bridling, "I am surprised that
a gentleman of your discernment should
ask such a question in such a manner. I
have but one answer there can be but
one answer, I assure you. If I had any
desire to change my condition (with a
most lady-like simper) I could have done
so, my dear Mr. M'Nab, long ago at
least, that is to say, many, many times.
I liave no wish, really, to to change
my name (with more simpers) even for
your sake. I am very, very sorry, dear
Mr. M'Nab. I cannot bear to make a
fellow creature sutler ; but really I I I
have. . . You must try to forgive
me and forget me . . . 'Really you
must; for I have but one answer, I do as
sure you."
"Then," said the imperturbable
M'Nab; "I am to understand that you
decline. Very good. Will you oblige
me by sending your sister down."
Now, Miss Jamieson was so elated by
what had trannpired that she tripped up
stairs as much excited as a girl of lifteen
answering her first love letter, and burst
in upon her sister breathless, exclaiming ;
".Maggy Ann, Maggy Ann! I've had
an oiler of marriage ; think of that ! Poor
Mr. M'Nab, of course. I'm verv sorry
: for him ; but I really couldn't you know.
' lie will get over it; time will help him,
poor, joor man. I refused liim, Maggy
Ann, I refused him!"
And Miss Maggy Ann saw triumph in
her sister's eye.
"Is Mr. M'Nab still down stairs?" she
asked, suavelv.
"Oh, yes;l forgot, he asked to see
you. Call Jemima, for, of course, he
wants to have worship before he goes j
you run down, dear. 1 can't for a min
ute or two uulil I collect myselT; I feel
3uite upset; scenes like this have Hlways
isttirbed me."
And Miss Maggy Ann did run down
with nimble foot. "Mr. M'Nab was still
standing, and os the lady advanced to
ward him, he used the same formula as
before "My kirk session," etc., to which
Miss Maggy Ann responded gracefully
"Dear M'Nab, I have long valued yotir
ministrations, anil 1 am happy to devote
myself to your future wullbeing."
"Am I to understand that you will mar
ry me?"
"Certainly; that is exactly what I in
tend." Miss Maggy Ann was exceeding
ly practical woman.
"Well, will you kindly name the day?"
"Monday next." It was then Satur
day. "Oh! that is very soon."
The sooner the better, you know, my
dear sir."
"Precisely. Well (putting on the hat
he held in his hand) I shall bring Mr.
Macintyre, with the Rev. Eneas Mac
kenzio.'hero on Monday first."
"Yes."
"Good morning."
"Good morniug."
In the meantime Miss Jamieson, hav
ing recovered her composure, and un
feignedly thinking that Mr. M'Nab de
sired to have worship before leaving,
came down stairs, and coming toward
the parlor door, overheard the most im
portant part of tho dialogue recorded
alxve. Again greatly surprised, this
time her astonishment was mingled with
mortification. She silently Blipped into
nn adjoining room, and, gazing but of the
window, mournfully watched tho depart
ing figure of And row M'Sah, while her
Bister returned to her domestic duties, so
singula' ly interrupted.
As Miss Isabel gasod in biUeruess of
spirit, who should enter her horizon but
tho subject of her thoughts, Mr. M'Nab
hastening to this door. lUifore he could
l:i:ock she stood lieforj him to loarn tho
reason of his return.

ried awav again, retieaiin' diligeutlv to
himself as he went, "Isabel Jamieson,

some mistake on the morrow.
Eat who can picture Miss Maa-'v Ann's
discomfiture to hear that name ciied
three times in church, to hear it, "with
herownears," as siie declared. In vain
she rose to protest ; in vain she endeav

St. Valentine's Day. In this great
world of ours, day aftr day follows iu
rapid Bncce:sion, and brings nronnd in
due time our stwral holidays. The next
on the docket will lie St. Valentine's day,
which wilt fall on Sunday, f 'eb. Hili.
Seeing in (he stationery slows the gro
tesqtie ca: ic.ilures called "Valentines,"
brought tne fact that this "day of love"
was approaching to the memory of the
load editor, and thinking that a large
number of the Statesman's readers would
like to know tiie origin and signification
of the holiday, takes up the theme: The
day is observed in coinmemoralion of St.
Valentine, a bishop or presbyter, who
was decapitated in 270 A. 1)., during the
C'laudian persecution at Kome. Theeus
tom of se-iding valentines, which John
son describes as "sentimental or comic
love messages, often in rhyme, and
adorned with ornamental or grotesque
devices," is a very ancient one. Some
say that on this day (Feb. 14th) the birds
select their mates; others trace tite cus
tom to the Koman Lurcalia (Feb. loth)
when similar practices were observed.
Traces of tiie custom have lieen delected
among the observances of the northern
pagans of ancient Euro). The tradition
that ascribes it to the loving and charita
ble di!)Osition of St. Valentine, is proba
bly a late invention without foundation
Sufficient to say that the custom has be
come very general in the Christian world,
at least, and is always hailed with de
light by the young swatn and maid
There has been as marked an improve
ment in the style ana heauty of valen
tines as there was in Lunstmas cards,
and they can now le hau costing as lntl
as the three or four figures. They are
shown in most delicate tints in satins
and silks, plushes, etc., and the senti
ments are often beautiful.
