As our paper makes its appearand litis week on the eve of this day, wt think a few words on the subject wil be of interest to some of our readers. It is a festival celebrated on February 14th, and was established in Eng land, Scotland and France about the fifteenth century, was \ciy popuiai among the upper classes and at mnnj European courts. On St. Valentine's eve spinsters and bachelors were accustomed to meet in a social way, write upon bits of paper the names of a number of spinsters and bachelors of their acquaintance, throw them into a basket. and then draw them mil nne at n time, care being exercised that each should draw one of the opposite ^<6;, the person thus drawn being the drawer's valentine. ? The festival was introduced Into America at an early day, hut its oh seryance has since undergoue material change, and is annually becoming less and less general, at present being limited to fiien Is exchanging anonymous communications with each other, the same being made in verse or verses referring ton variety of topics, the subject being ab-o illustrated by cuts of an amusing or ntimen'al character "KIM) IY011DS."
