ST. VALENTINES DAY-Relgion and love
go always hand in hand, and Saint Valentine
Will sway the hearts of unnumbered dcvotees in
every cline, and in every sect as long as the
earth exists Upon st. Valentines day the birds
are said TO choose their mates, and to pipe their
love songs in their sweetest tones. And this no.
table example of the birds is held up as worthy
TO be followed by all young men and women.
The legends says that st. Valentine was a priest
of Rome. But little is known of him except that
he was married in 20. 1t was the practice in
ancient Rome, during great part Of the month
OF February, to celebrate the Lupercalia.
There were feasts given in honor of Pan
and Juno, whence the goddess was some
times called Februata, Februali and Februalla.
At these feasts, amid a variety Of other ceremo-
MES, the names Of the young maidens were
placed in a box, from which they were drawn
as chance directed, by the young men. When
these deities became no more than beautiful
myth, in the rising light Of the Christian re-
hg1on, the priests, wishing to abolish all traces
OF the heather worship, exhibited the names of
particular saints to reign over the feasts of the
Lupercalia; and as these feasts had commenced
shout the middle of February, they chose Saint
Nalentinus 10 preside over the new feast The
love-songs which have been composed in honor
OF this fayorite saint are illimitabe in number:
and a. there is no end to human Device there is
therefore, no end to the variety of valentines in
vogue. Since, however, the custom has been
abused by the Transmission of obscene verses
and pictures, it has become more honored in
the breach than the observance and although
the letter-carriers in large cities still find their
duties largely increased on the recurrence of
the day, many people refuse to receive any-
thing In the shape Of epistles Of the character
alluded to.

OUT IN THE COLD.-Last night, about eight
O'Clock, feeble cry was heard by one of the
Sisters in charge of the St. Vincent's Orphan
Asylum, seemingly coming from the marble
steps OF the main entrance to the Asylum. She
opened the door, and on the steps, wrapped in a
few rags, barely sufficient to protect it from the
bitter cold of the night, lay beautiful female
child about five days old, left by some one to the
mercy Of the Sisters. 1t was taken into the
Asylum; but another place had to be provided
for It, SO officer Alder was called in and took
the babe to the Central Station. Here. too. IL
could not remain; and at last a poor woman,
living on Tenth street, between and F streets,
gave the fOrlOrn waif a shelter for the night,
and it was taken to the Founding Asylum this
morning.
