81. Valentine

4. l.. c.. Cullen.-Nalentine is a lit
tle-known saint and martyr of the
third century. whose day is kept on
February Is. He is said 10 have cured
the blind daughter OF a certain Aster-
ius who had hcen charged by the En-
peror Claudius to win him back to
paGanism. but Who was thus convert
ed to Christianity. Valentine was ac-
cnrdngly imprisoned. tortured. and
finally bcheaded. Ut is Impossible to
trace any connection between his story
and the celebration afterwards con-
nected with his day. 1t has been sua-
gcSted that this may bc a survival /.
with Christian sanction, of tho an
cicnt Roman festival of the I1ipcrcalia.
celebrated in the month of February.
at which IL was customary to put the
names of young women into Il box,
from which they were drawn ny tho

that IN the reign of Charles II. married
