J0Jentine's Day.

OF this saint, so celebrated among
Young persons, little is known, except
that he was a priest of Rome, and mar
tyred there about the year 27O.
The origin of so pleasant day, the
first pleasant day in the year, requires
some little investigation normust some
of its past and present usages be unre-
corded here.
Mr.. Douce observes: 1t was prac-
tice in ancient Rome, during great
part of the month of February, to cele-
brate the Lupercalia, which were feasts
in honor of Pan and Juno, whence the
latter deity was named Februalls ana
Februata. On this occasion, amid va
riety of ceremonies, the names OF young
women were put intoa box, from which
they were drawn by the men as chance
directed. The pastors of the early Chris
tian Church, who by every possible
means endeavored to eradicate the YES
tiges of pagan customs, substituted ID
the present instances the names OF par
ticular saints, instead of those OF women
and as the feast of Lupercalia had COM
menced about the middle of February
they appear to have chosen st. Vaien-
tines day for celebrating the new feast,
because it occurred nearly at The same
time: so accordingly the outline OF the
ancient ceremonies was preserved, but
modified by some adaptation to the Chris
t;an system, 1t is reasonable to suppose
that the above practice of choosing mates
would gradually become reciprocal
in the sexes: and that all persons so
chosen would be called Valentines, from
the day on which the ceremony TOOK
place.

LippiBcott's Magazine for February
contains an article on the christian
Commission" in which many touching
stories are told. Here is one which, as
an instance of generous self-denial, is
certainly unsurpassed by Sidney's ia
nous declaration, "Thy necessity is
greater than mine:"
Two of us picked upa man in our arms
to carry him off the field. A shell had
struck him in the mouth, leaving an aw-
full wound, which was bleeding profuse-
". I offered the poor fellow a drink
from my canteen. One would not have
guessed, in looking at him, that he could
have any thoughts beyond his wound at
the time. The first sensation after a
wound is well known to be of intense
thirst. Yet the soldier refused the prof
fered draught. | asked him why: NY

''only a private rough and dusty with
the battle, but the answer was one which
Sir Philip Sidney or the Chevalier Bay
ard, sans peur ct sans reprOche, had not
equalled when they gave utterance to
the words which have made their flames
immortal.
The following is told by delegate at
Mission Ridge:
We met four soldiers bearing back a
comrade on blanket. The men halted
when they saw us and laid down their
burden, asking if we would see whether
the color-sergeant was badly wounded.
Iknelt down by him and said, Sergeant,
where did they hit you ?' "Most up

where did the ball strike you ?" with

blanket, / found his upper arm and
shoulder mashed and mangled with a

first time on his wound, the sergeant
said, ''That is what did it. / was hug

that ugly shell knocked me over. If
they had let me alone a little longer
two minutes longer-I should have
planted the colors on the top. Almost

diving color-bearer's attention to himself.
| The fight and the flag held all his
thoughts; and while his eye was grow

he was repeating, "Almost up; almost

ment, ralIying under the colors which
had dropped from his shattered arm,
was shouting the victory for which he
had given his young life, but (which he
was dying without the sight.

" Right smart"

We make the following selection Ironi
% The Crutch," a newspaper which was
printed and published by the SICK
and disabled soldiers, at "Navy- Vi ara
Hospital Maryland, in 1864, to whose
columns it was contributed by one OF our
Vermont soldiers, and is so truthful oil
Southern language that We give 1t a
place:
The use Of these words itseems to me,
in connection, is much more common
than proper. May / have nook III
your paper to express an opinion on their
use.
Riqht, we had always supposed, rep
resented a true principle, an idea OF per-
lection or correct conclusion, better
adapted to represent the condition OF men
than things, yet, when used in refer,
ence to things, or our conclusions placeu
upon them. it is the same, an idea OF
perfection as a right angle, which Is one

vev an opinion of the quality of animal

strength or capacity, while right may

used, as we have so often heard 1t, as a
measure of time and distance, to repre-
sent the condition of inanimate things

ton, perhaps, is asked, the distance TO

The correspondent Of the Boston sat
urday Evening Gazette gives the follow
ing forcible picture of the situation in
New York in the matter of wedding
gifts:
The fashion Of giving bridal presents
begins to be 50 oppressive 10 the victims
of it, that bridal parties are now alarm
ingly deficient of guests. People send
their regrets, and by keeping at home
congratulate themselves that they are
thus relieved from the necessity of pay
ing the customary silver compliment.
TO avoid this consequence of poorly at
tended wedding fe3sts, invitations, i'm
some instances, have been sent out with
the intimatiOn. no presents received
except from relatives The movement
Is quite necessary. Recently we have
not been able TO congratulate a lady up-
on her change of name, without paying
for the privilege TO the tune of fifty dol
lars or so, and this, no doubt, in not a
few instances, has caused the open fell
citation 10 be complimented by an in
ward curse or two. As a necessary con-
sequence, the custom Of presenting rich
and costly gifts 10 ladies has led TO an
emulation which has produced queer re-
suits. 30 important l. lttnat brilliant
array of presents should grace and hon
or each wedding, that it is not unfre-
quent for silver and silver plated articles
10 be borrowed in order to enhance the
splendOr Of the display.
Certain dealers, indeed, make the loan
of wedding gifts an important, and, Of
course, profitable feature of their BUSH
ness. Recently there have been a good
many complaints that young men in
New York cannot afford to marry. I'm
less this custom of lavish bridal gifts is
limited, or abandoned, a more just COM
plant will be, that man cannot afford
to have his friend marry.

THE FUR TRADE.-A fur dealer cpl
tonliZes a twenty-five years experience
in the business, as follows:
Just quarter of a century Q, 0 | en-
tered the fur trade, paying ighteen
cents for mink, twenty-five cents for
muskrat, and two dollars for little yell
low martin skins. During these twen-
ty-five years there have been some wide
ranges of prices; | have sold lot of
mink for eight hundred dollars that now
would bring twenty-four thousand dol
lars.
Then. again, have sold lot of coon
for thirteen thousand dollars, that in
London to-day would not bring two
thousand dollars. The little martin
skin is now worth the same price of a
yellow dog skin--two dollars.
The opossum has been from three TO
sixty; and is down to eight cents. War
has been one cause of these fluctuations;
but that mightier power than armies,
fashion, has done the most. While the
combined armies of Europe could only
put down coon and skunk fifty per cent,
fashion run the eighteen cent mink up
to fifteen dollars, and knocked the big
black lynx muff down to four shillings.

EDUCATION OF GIRLS IN FRANCE.-A
remarkable movement has recently
sprung up in Paris and other parts of
France for the improvement of the edu-
cation of the girls of the higher and mid
die classes. Some little time ago a num-
Der of parents, dissatisfied with the quail
ity of the instruction given their daugh-
tiers in converts, began to send them to
attend the lectures of few able men,
who taught various subjects rs a matter
of private enterprise. Ofcourse the Gov
ernmentsOOn stepped in, not to put down
the proceedings, but to direct and extend
them and NJ. Drury lost no time in eff
fecting a connection between these tea
chers of young ladies and the University
of Paris. A regular course of instruc-
ton was fixed upon, including mathe-
MATES, natural history, French history,
&C.; and the first course was commenced
at the SOrbonne itself, on the LIST of De-
cember. Crowds of young ladies were
present, including two neices of the EN-
press Eugene. \ similar system is al
ready at work in thirty or forty provin-
cial towns, and several thousand girls
are already receiving this new and more
thorough kind of teaching.
