SECOND THOUGHT

oCSONO FOOG1 When l am walking round my flow CTS
 And see their happy faces, long to share their quiet hours By sometimes changing places. It must be jolly, don't you think, To sit there is a border, With someone else to bring you drink
 And keep your home in order? And yet l could not bear to see A rose go to the City, And so they shall not change with me.
 Although it seems a pity.

HAD ORIGIN IN
PAGAN FESTIVAL
CUSTOM OF CHOOSING A VALEN-
TINE is ANCIENT.
Fathers of Christianity Modified the
Practices, Which They Were Un-
able Entirely to Eradicate.

ST. Valentines day is the f4th of
February, and %singuiarly ominous to
lovers. st. Valentine is said to have
been IA bishop who suffered martyrdom
under the Roman emperor, Claudius,
or else under Aurelian in 271.
Like many another semi Christian
custom, the day set apart to the mem
DRY Of St. Valentine in the Christian
calendar is an old pagan festival upon
which our ancestors believed that the
birds chose their mates for the coming
year. This, at least, is the commonly
received version of our modern custom
of Choosing a valentine on the 18th
doux or a fancy valentine through the
mail to some favored one
In old Rome, the 18th of February
wa the festival of Juno Februata
(Juno the fructifyer), and the Roman
church substituted st. Valentine for
the heather goddess. AT that festival,
called "Lupercalia,' 1t was there
customary, among other ceremonies,
to put the names of young women into
a box, from which they were drawn
by the men as chance directed.
The Christian clergy, finding ii diff
ficult or impossible to extirpate the
pagan practice, and in accordance
with their general principle to eradi-
cate the vestiges of pagan superstition
by retaining the ceremonies but modi-
flying their significance, gave it a re-
Iigious aspect by substituting the
names of particular saints for those

Though the clergy repeatedly forbade
the custom of valentines and ordered
the use of cards with saints names,
the old pagan custom could not be
abolished. The boys and girls tri-
umphed over the saints, and in the
end the girls triumphed over the boys,
wrestling from them their exclusive
privilege of choosing mates.
The old custom of drawing names is
to this day observed in many parts Of
England and Scotland in the following
manner: A number of clips of paper
with the names Of an equal number
of men and women are shuilled and
drawn, so each young man has a val
entine in the person of a young
maiden, and each maiden draws a
young man whom she calls hers. The
valentines give each other gifts, and
often this little sport ends in love and
marriage.
