The Comic Valentine.

The observance Of st. Valentines
day is all right enough, 50 long as it is
confined to the sending of legitimate
tokens that are suggestive of affection
or admiration, but when it degenerates
into time for the exhibition of petty
spite or malicious dislike it is time to
call halt. OF all the brutal things
extant the so-caled comic" valentine is
the worst and should be suppressed.
No fair-minded person will send one to
anybody, and their circulation should
be limited by good taste and judgment.
1t was not our primary intention, how
ever, to discuss valentines, but rather
to call your attention to the improved
facilities now furnished by the St. Paul
& Duluth Railroad. This route is the
short line between Duluth, West Su-
perior, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Saltwater
and other points, and affords the best
connections to other prominent points.

ger Agent, st. Paul, Mimi. 4

city, and from our more prominent citi-
zpns, that the same interest should be
taken in them. in the good work Of pro-
viding cheerful and healthful homes for
them, as has, most properly been taken
by the country at large, and by our
more prominent public men, in the
work Of providing such homes for the
agricultural laborers Of Ireland. !"
Cardinal Manning's letter is equally
sympathetic, and also renders generous
testimony to the virtues Of the poor.
He writes: ut has always appeared to
me that 1t is hardly possible for the
domestic life of our people to be pre-
served in dwellings that are not tit fon
human habitation, but rejoice to know
that even under the greatest dlsadyan-
tages the domestic life of many III Dub
lin, in Glasgow and in London prevails
over their homeless state"
How vastly the spiritual influence of
these prelates over the laborers-so
strongly and benedcial)y demonstrated
a short time ago-is enhanced by their
Intimate feelings for their temporal
wants and their practical efforts to
relieve them!
