The Mails of Old.

In the days of the mail coach st. Valentine
was liable to miss connection. The lumber
ing old vehicle had to pass through peris by
highwaymen, high waters and other Incl
dents of the time. More than one mail sack
has been plundered by masked robbers who
had no respect for the prevailing customs.
and the dainty missives-arrow pierced hearts
over rhyming sentIment-w left by the
roadside to wind and snow This is why
there were disappointments in the olden time
when there should have been happiness SUI
preme, and the valentine sender was doomed
to wonder why the next letter from the
gentle one made no mention of his elegant
tribute.
Nowadays, when the postman turns the
corner with the regularity of true clock,
there are fewer disappointments. The entire
household, including the domestics, get their
share of valentines, and the patron saint is
blessed or mathematical as the missives
strike the recipient. The linked hearts with
Cupid lowering Iover them throw the con-
frlned old bachelor into a rage. He knows
that the valentine came from the jolly little
niece who is always setting trick on some
one, but at the same time the design is so
sarcastic that he must have his choer out in
spite of the real circumstances. Exchange.

Why is it that st. Valentines DAY is not
observed as it was half a century ago' Is it
because the young men and maidens have got
beyond it, that they are more intellectual
than formerlyi One feels inclined to hold
that the decadence of Valentines day and of
the customs proper to it suggests change
in the attitude of young men to young wo-
men-a decline in the chivalrous respect and
politeness which used, think to mark their
manner towards them. Young men seem,
nowadays, to stray into so many paths and
hutter round so many objects, that they have
no leisure for les petits soins which it is be-
coming in them to offer and pleasant for
young women to accept 1t may be that the
progress of the higher education among our
girls and maidens may have frightened our
present day Corydons and Alexises into their
frigid aloofness. What!-send a valentine
to learned girl graduated
Impossibes All, believe me, the intel
ectual cultivation of woman will never
crush her affections; the expansion of her
heart will keep pace with the expansion OF
her mind. She will still blush at the whis-
per of love; she will still be true and faith
full to the VOWS of her maidenhood, though
in the future she will insist, | think, that
man shall give her of his best-his purity,
his steadfastness and his honor. She will
iisdain the emptiness of fiattery; she will
cease 10 be deceived by externals; she will
demand in her lover an intellect not less cul-
tivated than her own, sympathies not less
generous, tastes not less refined, aims not
ess exalted But she will retain her tender
nature, her capability of self sacrifice, her
grace and gentleness and inexhaustible love:
and she win still delight-if it be worthy Of

WHERE VALENTINES ARE MADE.


One of the most interesting visits that can
be made is to n mandatory of costly valen-
tines Here are found dozens of work people
busily engaged in the production of the little
things which can have but a short season.
The active life of the valentine is Lut a single
day; and many of those which are not sold
are laid away among the dead stock" as
new designs next year will keep them out of
the market The comic productions, how
ever, can shine for several seasons, especially
in country towns, where tastes are not so
varied; but in the cities the show windows
must display something new to catch the
valentine public
There is a valentine manufacturer in Lon
don who has POO kinds on his trade lists
These do not include the cheap prints of the
day, but are made up from the handsome
and costly designs of the best artists. The
show windows that are annually hung with
colored caricatures of humanity contain also
valentines that depete well filled pocket
books. The most extravagant fancies find
ready sale, and the artists are spurred to pro-
duce something surprising all former efforts.
The manufacture of valentines is one of the
established industries of the day. Some of the
most beautiful designs come from the hands
of women. The sentiment may be common
place enOugh-lt may even be stanZa as old
the valentine itself-but the pattern must
be new, unique, beautiful. Original designs
are first drawn, long before the season, and
submitted to the manufacturer, who, though
sometimes an old bachelor, is supposed to
know just what the public want. If the de-
sign is accepted it is literally paid for
Something decidedly new is the one thing
looked for by the fashionable valentine
world.
Comic valentines, which excite more laugh
ter and ire than anything else under the sun,
give the artist as much trouble as do the
costly ones, Sometimes design has to be
made to fit certain stanza and then a verse
must be written for the picture Artist and
poet work well together, and quite often
they are one The annual sale of valentines
the world over is something enormous, and
if the sum total could be got at the most
credulous would be astonished Despite the
efforts of some to discountenance the sending
of valentines, the custom is steadily growing
and is finding its way into lands where until
recently the 18th of February had no espe-
cial significance. Boston Globe.

At noon brokers said the old man will clear
half million on the deal. Other spectators
who had been timid up to this point now
joined forces with him. He was in high glee.
Every now and then he laughed softly to
himself as he thought of Jacks impending
bankruptcy. He looked at the latter now
and then and muttered. Propose for my
daughter, will you'll"
A little after noon something happened
The market turned. Do what he would,
Gaulson could no longer control it. 1t broke,
and there was a stronger rush in the other
direction than there had been in the first.
Everard was here, there and everywhere.
For young fellow he was a wonder. Even
his foe could but admire his tact and skill
At three the gong sounded, and the day was
over. The Gaulison deal had proved far
larger than was expected and had turned out
a disastrous failure. The old firm of Gauli-
son q Brown was a wreck, and Jack Everard
was richer by half million dollars
At O'Clock Jack called on Margaret. He
had arranged for the wedding, and the min

And singing hopes, like mating birds

While all the soul of natures stirred,
Canst thou insensible remain

Train thy hearts tendrils with loves palm
Till mine clasped in thy embrace;
Beam violet eyes with Maytime balm,

st. Valentines Origin.

When old st Valentine was young,
He loved a maiden far above him;
He told his tale with trembling tongue
She plainly said she could not love him
But he was of persistent kind,
And midnight saw him 10y his taper,
Revolving rhymes in tortured mind
To tell loves story fond on paper
Twas dainty verse when it was done.
Its golden letters ranged in order
CupidS and hearts each line upon
And roses running round the border
He signed no name, but just the date
The nth day of February
A kiss for seal, prayer to fate,
Then sent it to the Princess Mary
She read il once-her cheeks grew red;
She read it twice-her heart grew Lighter
And love its warmth around her shed,
While wit soon told who was the writer.
She wrote one little word-'twa "Comel"-
And sent it to the ardent wooer;
moment he with JOY was dumb,
The next his feet were flying to her
And they were wed; and Valentine
And Mary often gave thanksgiving;
She loved to quote his grand old line.
without love LIES not worth the living"
AS lovers friend he gained renown,
And proved that love was all twas painted.
The greatest match maker in town
Got what he merted when sainted
It's many years ago since then,
And yet each passing year discovers
That Valentine, by maids and men,
Is still beloved-the saint of lovers

"Father, we're going to get married, and
wish to say good-by You won't consent,
and then you ruined Jack today"
'Who ruinedi ! am Brown is, and that
young man isn't far from millionaire. He's
got all my money, and now he's taking all my
family" Mr.. Gaulison broke down here.
Margaret left her lover and walked over to
her father and took his hand. Then turning,
she said: "Oh, Jack, is this all truef
YES, dear"
well, then, father, you'd better elope with
us and make the job complete"
Especially interrupted Jack, "as Mr.
Brown is in the carriage waiting for us"
The wedding was very quiet, but very
happy.
A fortnight later business card appeared
in The Advertiser, announcing that Mr.. John
Everard had been admitted as an equal part
ner in the old house of Gaulson & Brown.

gave the impression of having gone into the
battle of life with the intention of winning
and of having come out victorious. To
studious eye, however, there were little
crows feet on the forehead and around the

share that affection The girl or woman to
