the fifth to the middle; and then, II

sure, boiled an egg hard, and took
out the youk and filled 1t with salt;
and when ! went to bed, eat 1t shell
and all, without speaking or drinking
after 1t. We also wrote our lovers
names upon bits of paper, and rolled
them up in clay, and put them into
water, and the first that rose up was
to be our Valentine. Would you think

twentieth century thus far seems to be
conservative as well as progressive.
Not very lorg ago 1t was thought
that st. Valentines day was given over
almost absolutely to the sorry wits

anonymous libel. But even then the
pretty sentiment belonging to It had
not been altogether lost, and since

tines day that any article upon il
must necessarily be only a reminder
OF that which is already known. 1t
has been the theme of numberless
poets and antiquarians. After all
nothing better expresses the spirit of
this festival, since, upon the extension
OF Christianity, 1t assumed its modern
character, than the lines of that fresh
voiced English poet, the Rev. John
Dome, who was contemporaneous with
Shakespeare:
Hail Bishop Valentine! whose day this is:
All the air Is thy diocese,
And all the chirplng chorlsters
And other birds are thy parishioners:
Thou marryest every year
The sparrow that neglects his life for
The household bird with the red stom-
acher;
Thou makest the blackbird speed as soon
AZ doth the gold finch or the halcyon-
This day more cheerfully than ever shine.

The germ of the celebration of ST.
Valentines day is found In nature it.
self. It was first a pagan tribute to
the fecundlty of the earth and of man,
personifed in Pan and Juno, and there
is reason to believe that its origin
was Identical with that OF q Pelasglan
festival, observed in Latium before the
time Of Romulus and Remus, and
brought thither by Evander from Ar
cadia. This was festival of seven
days, beginning in the ides Of Feb
ruary, or on the 18th or 18th Of that
month. It was called Lupercnlia after
the wolf, lupus, which is supposed to
be associated in some way with Pan,
and was often represented by the an.
clients as smybol of light and the
course Of the seasons. Pan was the
killer of wolves and the protector of
the shepherds who dwet upon Nount
Palatine before Romulus and Remus
built their city there. BY some, the
name Of the festival is supposed also

The writer oftenest quoted for a
characteristic description OF the old
manner of observing the right of st.
Valentine is Nilsson, French travel
er. IAN equal number of maids and
men get together" he says: each
wrtos their true or some felgned
name upon separate billets, which
they roll up and draw by way of lots,
the maids taking the mems billets and
the men the maids so that each of
the young men lights upon the girl
that he calls his valentine, and each
OF the girls upon young man that
she calls hers. By this means each
has two valentines-but the man
sticks faster to the valentine that is
fallen to him than the valentine to
whom he is fallen"

A poetic picture OF this custom Is
found in Poor Robins Almanack for
the year 1857:

1t would not have raid to lay wires
