81. VoIcnfinc's Death.

February IA, known to all Americans
as st. Valentines day. is the anniver-
sary OF the death OF the saint and
martyr. 1t is not clear why the pecu-
liar character of the day observances
in the nineteenth century had origin
as a mark of respect to him. 1t is
more likely that some such observance
obtained long before the advent Of the
saint and became known by his name
merely from the fact that he was put
to death on that day. He was first
cruelty beaten with clubs by order OF
Claudius, emperor of Rome. and was
then beheaded. His real name was
Valentinus, and it was several hundred
years after his death that the College
of Cardinals at Rome canonized him
as saint. There are also two other
saints of the same name. Valentinus
of Interamna, bishop and martyr; and
Valentinus, bishop of Passau. The lat
ter hourished in the fifth century.

Still winter stars are shining,
Still winter sunsets glow.
And still the brooks repining
In crystal confines flow.
But somewhere In the starlight
The vernal beams are met,
And somewhere in the far light
The hope of spring is set.
From winter gloom the glory
OF springtime shall unfold,
The marvellous, sweet story,
The ever new and old;
What time the heart Of maid,
What time the heart of lover.
What time the heart of maid.
Turn lightly to each other.
And happy vows are paid.
And must 1 still be only
The beggar at your gate.
To lie forgotten. lonely,
And 'vainly for you wait?

This longing heart to cheer,
Now winters spell is broken,
Now springtime's grace is near!
So hear me now confessing
The love you long have known.

And speed the message duly,

A FAMOUS MASSACHUSETTS MANOR
Indian Hill and It's Proprietors.

Among famous persons born in New
buryport was Maj. Ben. Berley Poore, who
possessed the largest collection of an
tiques in the United States. Maj. Ben:
Perley Poore was born in Newbqryport,
Nov. 2, 1920. From his grandfather,
BENZ. Poore, and his aunts, Abigail and
Judith Poore, he inherited Indian Hill
farm, which had been in the family
through seven generations.
This fine estate comprises 400 acres.
1t is situated just beyond the River Par
ker, and is one of the most beautiful
spots i'll New England. In the early days
this was a favorite rendezvous of the In
dians, and was their last reserve in West
Newbury, being sold to the town in 1850
by Great Tom who was presumably
''Saganam of Agawam,' for the sum of
three pounds.
This land was then granted to Mr..
Samuel PoOre, and has been in the pos
session of his descendants ever since. Mr..
Ben: PerIey Poore Moseley, grandson of
the late Major, and owner of this estate
represents the ninth generation of Poores.
He has in his possession the original deed
of the land.
The homestead was altered and en-
larged by the Major into an English
manor. 1t stands upon the crest of
hill. Passing through the gateway one
sees OH the left an lndian-can it be
Great Tom?-standing with uplifted
hand to shade his eyes that he may look,
alas, in vain, for his lost comrades. On
the right is the mansion, with its pic,

windows. Here have come famous men
and women from every cline to greet the
genial host, sure of warm and cordial
welcome.
