st. Valentine was a priest in the early
church, who suffered martyrdom in the
third century by being beaten with
clubs, and afterward beheaded. The
peculiar custom which pertains to his
day is supposed to have originated with
the Romans, who celebrated about this
time the feasts OF Pan and Juno, on
which occasion it was customary for the
young men and maidens to choose com
panions for the year. This practice was
handed down to posterity, and Valen-
tines day was formerly a joyous occa-
sion in England and Scotland Then
the lover, instead Of sending fancy pa
per with words aud gilded cupids. went

tines morn was her Valentine for the
year II our readers will return 10
Scots Fair Maid of Perth, they will
find an incident related there founded
upon this custom. Later, when writing
became more general ameng all classes,
and finally, when printing became cheap
and popular, the ancient customs were
pretty much abolished. and Valentines
became the fashion.

A Prayer to Saint Valentine.

Come, happy Saint OF olden t!me'
And grace thy feslal day
Teach my dull lips some golden Ehy yme
Some magic rouudeiny, ,.,u
Through which my soul may Whisper Oil
Her heart can scarce divine;
And lei not quite unheeded ial
MY simple Vslentinel
Ahl weary doubts that press and chidel
Ahi cruel fears thai mock
How long shall It'll stand beside
Her hearts shut door and knockS
Time nles, hope dies, the seasons wane-
Ahl Join thy voice TO mine,
So shall plead not quite In vain,
Thou kind Saint Valentinel
Bend DER her head blue skies Of peace,
HaDg ont thy brightest star,
To light her path till ell storms ceae
In that sweet home afar.
And wheresoe'er her steps may stray
Still keep Love's watch benign,
And be by night and be by day
Her constant Valentine!
And, ahl dear Saint, when none is by,
And she alone can hear,
On sllken sandals steal thou nigh
And whisper Ia her ear;
Speak but one word, breathe Just one name,
But let that name be mine.
That she may know thee still the same
Her faithful Vslenlinel
