A mereIfaI Friend.

An elephant belonging to an English
garrison in the Indies. was q day
amusing himself with his chain 10 an
open part Of the town, when a man who
had committed a theft, and Eas pursued
by a great number Of people, despairipg
Of all other mean Of safety, a under
the elephant. Apparently delighted
with the poor mans confidence, the
creature instantly faced about and met
the crowd, erected his trnnk, and threw
his chain in the air, as is the n OF
these animals when engaged with the
enemy, and became so furisus in defense
Of the criminal that Notwithstanding all
the gentle arts made use Of by the sur.
rounding mulititude, neither they or even
hismahout, or driver, to whom he was
fondly attached, and who was sent for 10
manage him, could prevail. with him TO
give up the malefactor. The animal
wonderful kindness met With reward.
After three hours contest, the governor
heard Of this strange rebellion to the
laws Of the land, and came TO the scene
Of struggle. he was SO much pleased
with the generous perseverance, Of the
honest quadruped, that he yielded to the
elephants interposition and pardoned
the criminal. The poor man, in an
ecstcy Of gratitude, testified his ae-
acknowledgement By kissing and embracing
the probosciso of his kind be~neiaotor, who
was apparently so sensible Of what had
happened that laying aside all his for
mer violence, he became perfectly tame
and gentle IN an instant, and suffered
his keeper to conduct him away without
the least resistance.

valensine,s Day.

Yesterday, the l4th inst, was St, Val
entine's Day. On this day it is the
almost universal custom to send valen-
tines, as messages of love, friendship,
and sometimes of dislike. By one
writer we are told that st. Valentine,
who was beheaded at Rome, A. d.. go,
was q man of such kindness, love and
charity that the custom Of choosing
valentines on his festival took its rise
from thence" Again we are told
that it originated from a practice
prevalent in ancient Rome at the festi-
val Of Lupercalia, held during the
month Of February, when, among other
ceremonies, the names Of yourg ladies'
were placed in a box, from which they
were taken by young men, according as
chance directed. This custom tended
to g%rievous immoral results, and the
pastors Of the early church, finding it
impossible to extirpate il, changed its
form. and, through various changes, the
custom OF choosing valentines has de.
scended to our W times, and is now
more general and popular than ever. In
England and Scotland Valentines day
al formerly a joyous occasion. Then
the lover, instead Of sending valentines
breathing love, went himself; and he who
should first gain the glance Of a fair
maiden on Valentines morning was her
valentine for the year. Later, when
writing became more general, aud 6aal-
ly, when printing became to be cheap
and popular, the ancient custom fell
into decay, and valentines grew to be
the fashion.

New York Correspondence
New York is the city Of magnificent
hotels. But few people know or under.
stand, however. the qualities necessary
to the management Off first class hotel
in New York. Great TACT fare jndg.
ment, fine nerve, and what the Rev.
Robert Collyer calls true grit" all
must be displayed in the successful
management. Sometimes all these fail,
but perhaps the most notable instance
Of immediate and permanent success is
found in the steady and increasing pop.
ularity Of the Grand Central Hotel, on
Broadway, New York. Combined with
its management, TO a great degree the
Grand Central owes its fine success to
the liberal plan Of adjusting its rates
according TO the location of the room
occupied. This, with a bill Of fare
hardly equaled by any hotel table in
New York, six meals per diem, is
secured at the rate Of from So TO 81
per day, according to choice in selecting
the floor desired.
