ST. VALENTINES DAY.
The Origin of the Custom.

number Of loud lampoons. II would
surprise many who have or may mail
those i'll featured daubs 10 know that the
practice is derived from a custom cele-
brated at date further back than the
Christian Era. Ii was in vogue among
the ancient Romans aud at the annual
festival known as Lupercalia, which
occurred during the month Of February,
il was customary for number Oi Young
persons OF either sex " place a
corresponding number OF slips, bearing
the names Of Young people OF the other
sex, into a vessel, each one drawing at
random. And they we're 10 consider

their slip ~ their valentine for the re-
maiuder Of tue year.

ular time the birds chose their mates

anlty prevailed ia the ancient capital OF
paganism. the practice came 10 be asso-
ciatci with the name Of the great and
good SAINT Valentine, whose festival &C
CURED On the lith OF February, and
whose great charity earned Tor him an
enyiable reputation even IN those days
Of Christian heroes aud martyrs. Ia
this age the lottery has vanished, and
the valentine il chosen only Tor day.
Even this pretty custom is diving out, yet
we are sorry to believe this, and trust that
Saint Valentines Day Of 1890 may be a
happy, Joyous one, and the lads and las
sizes keep the memory Of good Saint Val.

RELIEF MONEY.
How Shall it be Disposed?

The discussion on Thursday night, at
the meeting OF the Irish Famine Execu,
tive Committee, over the disposition oil
the funds which might be raised by the
exertions OF the good citizens OF Wheel
ing, was continued, among certain per-
sons, on the streets, yesterday. No"
that the question has been sprung, 1t Is
exciting considerable interest. The PEG,
pie of Wheeling are as charitable and
will beslow their money as readily rs
can be found any where, but 1t Is no less
than natural that they should eyince
something more than curiosity to kno"
where their donations 20. Ii seems 10

thousands OF the Irish peasantry are on
The verge OF starvation and it is to re-
lieye them and not mix in with govern
mental troubles that the present work Is
going ON here That point seems set
tied. -.
Ther. MAS another controversy as TO
where or to whom the money should be
sent All wished To- place II where II
/ Would DO tue mOst good, but nearly every
4 member had different road by which
that goal might be reached. The dis
cussion was checked of, as being little
premature - first get your money

whatever was collected direct to Ireland
and not by any intermediate course;
Others. however favored the Parneli
treasurers, Messrs. Prince and OReiliy,
of Boston. and still Others, the Herald
fund. The fact was apparent, however,
that no one at the meeting was as well
posted rs lac might have been.
But Yesterday new idea was sprung
and seemed to take hold Of the public
mind. A gentleman expressed II at the
Court House. when he asked:
why don't you people buy your ar
ticics and send them, instead OF sending
the money itself, then you will be SURE
ui getting provisions over there.
This plan has been adopted by ~
I.ouis aud several others OF the larger
cities. and there are many arguments III
