THE HOWE ITS PROBLEMS AND ITS INTERESTS
The Origin of Valentines

a fact IN natural history, to-wit, that
birds In Southern Europe pair about the
middle OF February. is said 10 have in
spired a custom OF the ancient Romans.
10 which the origin OF the modern val
entine can be traced At the feast OF
Lupercalia, held In honor of the greta
god Pan, the names of the virgin daugh-
ters OF Rome were put in a box, and
drawn therefr0m by the young men.
Each youth was bound TO offer gift TO
the maj len who fell 10 his lot. and 10
make Ter his partner during the time OF
the feast. How this secular custom be-
came allied TO the name Of a saint is
altogether a different matter. St. Val
entine was a bishop OF Rome during the
third century. He Is said 10 have been a
man OF very amiable nature, and most
eloquent OF speech, wherefore lac was
very successful IN converting the pagan
Romans 10 Christianity. Marcus Au-
relius was then emperor. a relentless
prosecutor OF the Christians. and by his
order the bishop was beheaded. The
date of his death was February Il, 40
A. ID. We md The statement IA Arch
bishop Wheaucy's illustrations OF the
Book OF Common Prayer" that st.
Valentine was man OF admirable parts
and so famous for his love and charity
that the custom of choosing valentines
upon his festival took its rise from
thence" But probably the connection Of
name Is wholly sue 20 "A coincidence Of
date. When tie saints name was
placed in the church calendar, tae day
Of his death was made a festival, 20 or
set that OF the LupeTcalia. on the 18th.
In Allen Buffers Lives of the Saints
We read that the Jealous Christian
fathers tried 10 substitute the names OF
saints for those Of girls in the lottery
game but without success. So the
valentine" custom spread from Rome
through Europe 10 Great Britain, al
ways ga high favor, and later, Ia the
form or sending tender missiVes. came
60 America, and down 20 the present
time.-Ihe February HOusekeeper.
