4 Once Beautiful Oustom-Not
Nou SO Beautiful

NOV FSOsoo@NbllOl.
The 18th day OF February is the
anniversary OF that good old saint,
hr: Valentine. Nov, it is our own
unbiased opinion that Mr.. Valentine
was thoroughly agoott, notwitl,stan,t~
ing lie was some what sentimental,
and, according TO good authority,
terribly struck with lovc-siokncss.
t disease quito common among hu
man bipe.1s Of the male distinction.
It is true, he persuaded the young
men to steal under the chamber win.
dow Of their lady loves, and fire
wretchcd poetry at them just like
Mr.. Geo. W. Peck used to do; bu,
the custom was none the less bc.uti.
ful because the poetry wasn't always
flrst,class. These youths meant we'll,
and, you know, it is the intention,
and not the act, constitutes the
crime. Then, after a while, Mr.. VAL
cntine caused those same young men
and many others to send by post, an
artistically eoatriysd and skillfully
wrought "valcntine", consisting Of
wrcati's of flowers gu, mounting "a
beautiful face. with Forget me not;
Ever thine, sweet Valentine; OF.
will you love me when I'm old" in
the corner, to their lady love, and he
kept constantly improving upon them
until the best of talent and skill were
required to execute these evidences
of esteem and affection, and on every
l4th day of February, the mails were
loaded down with these heart.mis-
sives that have done 80 much in fill
ing up the matrimonial rauks. Yes,
St. Valentines day vas an unusually
fright one for young lovers and their
sweethearts, but, alas! Mr.. Valentine
grew old and kicked the bucket after
having given a life we'll rounded in
years to the service OF match making:
and now, instead of. the handsome
valentine, and the happy greeting
behind its face, we have a lot of mis-
erable, outlandish, mortally ugly
things that people of little sense in
vest so largely in. 1t is bad enough for
a friend to send us horrible picture
with IN insulting verse Of doggerel
attached, but it is mean low, cow
,,rdly, contemplate puppy who will
thus attack foe from his place Of
conccalment by firing nasty wad of
cheap paper at him just to get even.
1t is as much beneath, the dignity of
4 man as the earth is beneath the
sun. We knew of 4 man once, who
received seven of these dirty things,
and he pasted ttleIn up III MS place
of business, just to let the public
know that there were seven fools in
town whose wits were in their stom.
achs instead of their heads. Now VIC
think it Is doing MI. Yaieht;ne
great injustice, to tl,s,s demean 9
l;5 good otsE -=custdA.m:: Ti,ssnext thing
we know, a certain class Of people
will be sending dead cats and chick
ems, rotten vegetables and pigweed
through the mails 10 their particular
friends. ~
Too bad! Too had! It is enough
to make Mr.. Valentines bones rattle
in his grave. But 80 goes the world,
bad cess to it, Your Own
ST.. VALENTINE,

Now Amt this a CIincher!
From The RcidiriYe Times.


Speaking of the recent increase in
business failures the Winston Repub-
hca1, says-"So soon as Congress met
last week, so soon were the arteries of
trade paralyzed." Will that astute
journal which is forever resembling a
camel to whale, inform its dupes
what more has Democratic ascendency
in the House to do with business fail
ures-caused in truth by overtrading
than has Republican ascendency in
the Senate with all the Republican
measures and methods still in undis-
turbed operation? Or indeed will it
explain in its superior wisdom what
influence Democratic successes in this
country could have had on the failure
in Liverpool-for these failures are all
over the world-of Morris Ranger re-
Gently, and all the other business col
lapses that have occurred likewise in
London and Paris?

From the Boston Post.

The politicians must take back
seats in the year of Our Lord 1884, so
far as the work of the Democratic con-
vention is conce. ned. The plain pco-
pie, the true, unselfish and aggressive
men who vote and work for principle =
sake and for the good of the whole
people, must take the rcins i'll their
own hands and give the Democracy
such a ticket and such a platform as
will command the respect and support
of a majority of the voters Of the coun-
try and a majority Of the electoral col
lege. The indications are strong that
this will be done.

Filters the air-irenched sunlight fine:
