Look BEFORE you KIcK-A minister
of one OF the orthodox churches, while
on his way to preach funeral sermon in
the country. called TO see one of his mem.
bers, an old widow lady, who lived near
the road he was travelling. The old lady
had just been making sausages, and she
felt proud Of them--lhey were so plump.
round and sweet. OF course she insis
ted on her minister taking some Of the
links home 10 the family. He objected on
accoun, of not having his portmanieau
along. This objection was soon oVerruled.
and the old lady, after wrapping them in
rag, carefully placed bundle in either
pocket of the preachers caPacious great
coat. Thus equipped he started for the
! funeral.
While attending t0ihe solemn ceremo:
MES Of the grave, some hungry dogs
scented the sausages, and were not long
in tracing them 10 the pockets Of the good
mans overcoat. OF course, this was a
great annoyance, and he was several
times under the necessity OF kicking these
whelps away. The obsequies at the grave
being completed, the minister and. .conger-
CATION repaired TO the church, where the
funeral discourse was 10 be preached
After the sermon was finished, the minis
ter halted TO make some remarks TO his
congregation, when brother, who desi
red TO have an appointment given out, as
cended the steps ofthe Pulpit,and gave the
minister's coat hitch, 10 get his atten
ion. The divine, thinking it dog hav
ing designs upon his pocket. raised his
foot, gave a Sudden kick, and sent the
good brother sPrawling down the steps!
"You will excuse me, brethren and sis
ters,' said the minister, confusedly. and
without looking at the work he had just
done, "for | could not avoid it--l have
sausages in my pocket, and that tarnation
dog has been trying 10 grab them ever
since came upon the premises !"

FROM Godey's Lady's Book.
VALENTINES DAY.

VHlhW lined UHl,
VRN the western counties, the children,
"a decked with the wreaths and true
lovers knots presented to them, gayly
adorn one of their number as their chief,
and march from house to house, singing:
"Good morrow to you, Valentine
Curl your locks as | do mine,
Two before and two behind;
Good-morow to you, alentine"
They commence in many places as ear
ly as six o'clock in the morning, and in
terminglc the cry, Tomorrow is come!'
Afterwards they make merry with their
collections. AT Islip, Oxfordshire, Eng
land, have heard the children sing the
following, when collecting pence on this
day
Good d-morow, Valentine
be thine and thou best mine,
So please give me a Valentine"
And likewise the following
"Good d-morow, Valentine
God bless you ever
If you II be true to me,
I'll be the like to thee
Old England for ever !"
Schoolboys have very uncomplimen-
tary way of presenting each other with
these poetical memorials
"Peep, fool, peep. ....
What do you think to see?
Every one has Valentine,
And here's one for thee 2"
Far different from these is stanza
which is a great favorite with young girls
on this day, offered indscriminately, and
of course, quite innocently, to most of
their acquaintance
"The rose is red,
The violets s blue,
Pinks are sweet,
And so are you."
The mission of Valentine is one of the
very few old customs not on the wane
and the streets of our metropolis practic-
ally bear evidence of this fact in the dis
tribution of love-messages on our stalls
and shop windows, varying in price from
sovereign to one halfpenny. Our read.
ers, no doubt, will ask for its origin, and
there we are at fault to begin with. The
events of ST. Valentines life furnish no
clue whatever to the mystery, although
Wheatly, in his ILLUSTRATION Of the Com
mon Prayer absurdly disposes of the
question in this way "St. Valentine was
a man of most admirable parts, and SO
famous for his love and charity, that the
custom of choosing Valentines upon his
festival, which is still practiced, took its
rise from thence" We see no explana-
ton here in any way satisfactory. and
must be contented with the hope that
some of our antquarians may hit on some
thing more to the purpose.

1t was anciently the custom to draw
lots on this day. The names of an equal
number of each sex were put into box,
in separate partitions. out of which every
one present drew name, called the Val
entine, which was regarded as a good
omen of their future marriage. 1t would
appear from curious passage quoted in
the Dictionary of Archaisms, that any
lover was hence termed Valentine !;
not necessarily an affianced lover, as sug.
gested in "Hamson's Calendarium, ;" vol
j. p. 1863. Lydgate. the poet of Bury, in
the fifteenth century, thus mentions this
practice
"St. Valentine, Of custom year by year
Men have an usance in this region
To look and search cupd's calendere
And choose their choice by great affection;
Such as be prick'd with cupids motion,
Taking their choice as their lot doth fail
But love one which excelleth ALL"

The Nkw Water CoMPANY.-The
examination of the route of the new
Water Company, to te made under the
direction Of the committee appointed at
a meeting Of the citizens of Sonora, to
which We alluded in our issue of the
l4th, has been completed. The gen.
tleman appointed from Sonora, started
from Columbia on Sunday afternoon last,
and returned on Tuesday evening. He
was accompanied by the President of
the Company, and the Superintendent,
and by several gentlemen interested in
ascertaining, by their personal survey,
that the published reports of the new
Company were in all things correct
The whole line was carefully examined,
until the point at which the water is to
be taken from the river was reached
A full supply of water was running in
the river, sufficient to supply four such
works as that which the Company are
constructing. All the surveying party
were fully satisfied with the examina-
tons, and concur in the favorable re-
ports which have been laid before the
public.
We are highly grati6ed in being ena-
bled to convey to our readers the facts
reported to US in this connection, and to
give assurance that the supply of water
Is abundant, and the opportunity to have
it here in our mines certain.
