of young girl in 1854:
Last Friday was st Valentines

bay leaves, and pinned four on the
corners of my pillow and the fifth to
the middle. and then IL I dreamt of
my sweetheart, Betty said we should
be married before the year was out.
But to make IL more sure, boiled an
egg hard. and took out the yolk and
filled 1t with salt; and when l went
to bed ate 1t, shell and all. without
speaking or drinking after It. We also
wrote our lovers names upor bits Of
paper, and rolled them up In clay. and
put them into water; and the first that
rose was to be our valentine. Would

FROM PAGAN Times.
Celebration of st. Valentines Day
Is One of the Oldest of
Our Customs.

St Valentines day is the outgrowth
OF pagan custom. The feast of Lu.
percalia, which was held on February
is in honor Of the great god Pan, was
undoubtedly its origin. AT this feast
the names o. the virgin daughters Of
Rome were put in box and drawn
therefrom by the young men and
each youth was bound to offer gift
to the maiden who fell to his lot and
to make her his partner during the
time of the feast.
This custom became allied with the
name of st. Valentine, probably only
through a coincidence in dates. st. Val.
entine was bishop of Rome during
the third century. He was martyred
on February IA. A, ID. go. When the
saint came to be placed in the calen-
dar his name was given to the day
of his death, and this was made a
festival.
In the days of quill pens and dear
postage the transmission of valentines
through the post was an expensive
luxury. The amorous SWANS of that
period had to content themselves and
their idolized fair ones with thick
sheets of gilt-edged letter paper, the
first page of each being adorned with
gift Cupid, carefully. gummed.
With the reduction of the heavy
postal charges printed valentines
gradually came into use. They gem
orally consisted of gaudily colored
