ORIGIN OF cHRYsANTHEMum.
Pretty and Interesting Legend Con-

Pretty and Interesting Legend Con-
corning That Flower.
The japanese have an interesting leg
end In connection with the origin of the
chrysanthemum, the London Globe
says. In a garden, bathed In the soft
moonlight, ayoung girl plucked flow
er and commenced to strip the petals to
see IL her fiance loved her truly. OF a
sudden little god appeared before her
and assured her that her fance loved
her passionately. Your husband will
live, he added as many years as the
flower, which l will let you choose, has
petals, With these words he disappear
Ell. The young girl FASTENED to search
have an abundance of petals, but each
one appeared to promise but brief fu-
ture for her beloved.
At length she picked Persian carna-
ton, and, with the aid Of a gold pin,
taken from her hair, she separated each
of the petals of the flower, so as to In
crease the number of folioles and of
the number of years accorded by the
girl to her fiance. Soon, under her
deft fingers, one, two, three hundred
petals, thin, plant and beautifully curv-
ed, had been evolved, and the young
girl cried for Joy to think of the happy
future which her rlse had assured her
fiance. SO, runs the legend, was the
chrysanthemum created one moonlight
night in a japanese garden, where sill
very brooks murmur softly as they run
beneath the little bamboo bridges

II was a custom In Scotland to
choose ones valentine, If Sir Walter
Scott is to be trusted in his account
of the wooing of the Fair Maid OF
Perth and Hal of the Wynd in the nov
81. The always amusing and ubiqui-
tous Pepys, in his diary, which neglects
nothing under the sun apparently,
mentions st. Valentines day and its
customs In several places, and gives an
amusing account of his wife, fearing
TO open her eyes on st. Valentines
day while the painters and decorators
were at work in her room, lest she
should see che of these unsuitable per-
sons first instead of more comedy val
entine. The genial Pepys himself, of
course. had to call upon one of his
friends on February IA and entreat
her to become his valentine, ani we
will hope that he sent suitable gift
to the lady chosen.
Whatever the origin of the custom, 1t
has given rise TO many quaint and
pretty fancies. and both poets and low
efs have employed the legend and the
saint to good purpose The sending OF
letters and the more or less tawdry
cut paper valentines, which the chill
dren Of the last generation were so IA
miliar with, undoubtedly gave rise to
the modern fashion of Christmas cards
In this country and in England, which
has grown to such astonishing, not to
say alarming. proportions, and the
comic valentine, that hideous and
dreadful creation. Is presumably one

At first 1t appeared more like a

hands, people stayed to chat With one
another. Not far from Mr.. Lincoln n
prominent Senator, whom we mag call

remarked: II believe that II we could
only do right as people, the Lord
would help us and we should have

o:s the Senator, with his clear, shriil
