Editor Children's Pdge-DEAR SIR: l do not

upon the subject of Valentines day.
Valentines day. festival celebrated on
February IA and established in England, Scot
land and France ABOUT the fifteenth century,
was very popular among the upper classes and
at many European courts. On st. Valentine s
eve spinsters and bachelors were accustomed
to meet in a social way, write upon bits of
paper the names of q number Of spinsters and
| bachelors of their acquaintance throw them
| into basket and then draw them out one at a
| time, care being exercised that each should
draw one of the opposite sex. the person thus
drawn being the drawers valentine. The fes-
/ tival was introduced into America at an early
day, but its observance has since undergone
material change, and is annually becoming
less and less general, at present being limited
TO friends exchanging anonymous communities
! tions with each other, the same being made in
verse or verses eferring to a variety of topics,

Tough Scorpion,

An English army officer, whose regi
ment was stationed mt Alahabad, was one
morning putting on his boot when sud
denly ho felt sharp prick. He knew at
once what the trouble was. Within few
days several scorpions had been seen about
tho barracks. Without question one OF
them had taken up its quarters in his boot
and had now stung him.
SWELL, he muttered, "the harm is done,
and l may as we'll kill the creature 1t
will got away If take the boot off y
So he began stamping violently with a
view to crushing the life out of the scor-
pion. Every stamp gave him exquisite
torture, but he kept bravely at 1t till he felt
sure the thing must be dead. Then he
pulled off the boot and was both relieved
and vexed. Ii was lucky he had not
shouted for assistance. The scorpion was
a backing brush, which his servant had
carelessly left in the bottom Of the boot

Aboard Shin.

Sea voyages are usually deemed pro-
motive of health. So they are in most
cases. But it may we'll be doubted if the
shaking up aboard ship, which people of
very fragile constitution and weak nerves
get, is not prejudicial if its effects are not
averted or nulllfied by medicinal safe
guard. The best, if we are to believe the
testimony of ocean travellers, whether
they go abroad for health, pleasure or
business, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
lnvallds, commercial travellers, sea cap
tains and yacht-men concur in recon-
mending this fine defensive tonic. So do
emigrants to the frontier, the Inhabitants
of malarious regions, and all who are ex-
posed to hardship or rigors of climate.
For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trou-
BILE, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver com
plant and constipation it is eminently
efficacious and commended by the medical
fraternity far and near.

JULIET IN DREAMLAND.
The Sable sentincls Of slenn,

The sable sentincls of sleep,
The gloomy bats, fierce vigil hold
When inoonbeams with the jasmine peep
Through Juliet's lattice and unfold
Such silvery dreams to her of love
AS shy stars whisper of above.
And often in the wondrous night
The lnantling creeper' $ leaves will bend,
AS pixies, clinbing up the height.
From tiny lutes faint music send;
Their bodies swaying, whilst they sing,
Like pendent pearls Of dew in spring.
Till as the passionate morn at last
Clasps all the earth in its embrace.
The gentle serenaders cast
One long last look on Juliet's face,
Then. leaping to the ground, return
To bowers Of russell tipped green fern.
