YE GOOD ST. VALENTINE.

Wv NNN@SAN bN@A ~
SwWYW WYWWWWWWO
Many years ago a Frenchman who
Waited London wrote this passage con-
cerning the English girl on the four
.eenth of February:
"St. Valentines day is the carnival
Of the young people here. English girls
await the arrival Of the postman with
the utmost impotence. They open
their letters in a state of delighted ex-
element, and instantly give vent to
their feelings in cries Of rapture or
bursts Of laughter. The girl who re-
ceives no valentine has reason to feel
mortified, as 1t is a proof positive that
she Will braid the tresses of st. Gather
ine."
The same condition of things exists
to-day, as the postman whose work is
doubled and trebled at that period will
surely testify. In city and village, and
In homes remote, the time is one of joy
GUS expectancy, and often there is more
than the trivial following of a tradition
In the exchange of those lace bordered
and decorated missives with their
saucy, mischievous cupids, their hearts
transfixed by arrows and their senti-
mental verses.
Hearts are broken, heads are turned
BY castles in the air."
Tharn n Potu uthn FOL aJyo NJ
of the time to send hateful comic val
entines which illustrate some peculiar
ity Of the ones to whom they are ad-
dressed, but no one will envy the I'M
kind spirit that could dictate such a
proceeding. But there are comic valen-
tines that are employed as a pastime
by persons who are not over-sensitive
or refined.
In the olden days when the world was
mostly under pagan rule, the 18th day
Of February was one of carnival, and
often misrule. The valentine lottery
was one of the favorite amusements in
England, when the lads and lasses had
rot the gilded opportunity of the pres
ent time. They wrote billets with
their names inscribed thereon, an
equal number of each, and drew by lot
the men taking the billets from the
maids, and vice versa. The company
being thus divided into couples who
were each others valentines, many
happy marriages grew out of this lot
terry.
Writing was not then cultivated, even
In court circles, and the first written
valentine Of which sentimental history
has kept any account, is the famous one
VI the Duke OF Orleans. This noble
man, being prisoner Of the battle of
Agincourt, could not draw his valentine
30 he wrote quaint and chiyalrous adj
dress to an unknown divinity. Being
poet and writer of songs, his verse
had merit and Is distinguished for it's
graceful simplicity, A stanza will give
an idea Of the poem:
wilt thou be mine, dear love? Reply
Sweetly consent, or else deny;
Whisper softly, none shall know;
wilt thou be mine, love?-aye or no.
"Spite Of fortune we may be
Happy by one word from thee;
Life flies swiftly-ere it so.
Wilt thou be my love?-aye or no."

Ger and many others Of the old writer's
