ST. VALENTINES DAY.-This festival,
February 14th, (which is associated with |
some Of the tenderest thoughts in
English literature, has its history based
upon a few known facts and hints in the
works of old writers. The Philadelphia
Ledger says: THE saint whose name is
used was a Roman priest martyred in
the third century. 1t is written that it
was Pagan custom in Rome during q
part of the month of February, selected
because twas supposed to be the season
when all nature mates for the
men I, 10 draw from box the
names of young women 70 be
their companions for the year. The
pastors of the early Christian Church, in
endeavoring to break down the Pagan
custom, substituted the names OF saints
instead of the names Of women to be
drawn from the box; but the secular Gus
tom, modified by the Christian system,
was perpetual, and st. Valentines day,
which occurred about the time of the
Pagan ceremonies, became the day for
its observance. In some parts of Norman
DIV the word syalaptin' is still used in The
same sense as sweetheart, but whether
the choice of st. Valentine as patron
of gallsrts arose from the similarity OF
his name 10 the word ''valantin," or
whether the latter was made out Of the
saints name, are questions in dispute,
The custom has greatly degen-
Grated within the last few hum
dred years. In the time
of Shakespeare the vale ntined male, or
female, were chosen by lot and were ex-
pected to make some kind of presents to
the ones who chose them. These pres
ents were frequently verses, but were
sometimes valuable caskets of jewels.
The tickets bearing the name of the
valentined were worn upon the breasts
of those who drew them, but were some
times sent to the chosen fair one, and the
transition from the custom of sending
tickets, verses and presents to that of
sending printed valentines would be
very simple one. The practice of send
ing burlesque verses no doubt arose from
the incongruous choice of valeatiI es
made when the choice was left to chance
drawings. The present custom is quite
meaningless and seems to have lost even
the few merits of the Pagan festival from
which 1t originated"

GAS ExPLosIoS.-Yesterday morning

employed by the gas plumbing establish
ment OF Messrs. Thompson & Hibberd,
met with quite serious accident. He
was repairing q leaking gas pipe,
in the house of Jabez Exley,
on Thirteenth street, when
he placed light near the leaking pipe,
which exploded, severely burning him
about the face and neck. Medical aid
was summoned and his injuries promptly
attended to.

Bismarck's Moving.

One day, the prince was proceeding on
foot from the spring to kissengen town,
and was obliged to cross meadow which
was lust being moved. The prince takes
great interest in agricultural affairs; so
he began to talk with the mowers, who
did not recognize him, and at last re-
ouested one of them to give him scythe,
which he used with apparently great skill.
The Bavarian peasants were astonished at
this proof of skill on the part of gentle
man who appeared to them to belong to
the upper classes, and expressed their ad
miration accordingly. AS soon as the
prince had left off moving the grass, one
of the countrymen turned to him and re-
marked: "You seem to be good farm

Bavarian dialect: lit is treasure to me

Double Grimes.

Our whole system of treating double
crimes with one-sided laws, our whole
silly policy Of treating one party to n
double crime as a fend, and the other
party as an angel or baby, has been
not only inefficient for the end sought
to be obtained. but disastrous. The
man who offers hribc to another for
any purpose which involves the In
fraction of the law of the State or ma
ton is, and must be, an equal partner
in the guilt; and any law which leaves
him out of the transaction Is utterly
unjust on the face of it. If is wrong
to sell liquor, it is wrong to buy it,
and wrong to sell because, and only
because, it is wrong to buy. If pros
,itution is wrong, it is wrong on both
sides, and he who offers bribe to a
weak woman, without home or friends
or the meats of life, to break the laws
of the State, shares her guilt in equal
measure. Law can never be respect d
that is not just, No law can be en-
forced that lays its hand upon only
one of the parties to double crime
No such law ever was enforced, OF
ever accomplished the purpose tol
which it was enacted and until we
are ready to hGve double laws fo'
double crimes, we stutity ourselves by
our unjust measures to suppress those
crimes. Our witnesses are all accom-
plices, the moral sense of the commu
nifty is blunted and perverted, ant
those whom we brand as criminals
look upon our laws with contempt o
judgment and conscience.-[Dr. J. G
/, Holland Scribner iorsMay.
