In St. Valentine's day, birds, they say, choose their mates. The wooer calling in persuasive note "machere 0 machere" and receiving the answer here, here; be that as it may to the \ observant lover of nature the songs c of birds are more noticeable on St. vv Valentine's day than on any day t( previous. ; Scarce a century agone the first lass met by love sick swain in the n morning was acknowledged as his i Valentine by sending her some sen- h timental memento of the auspicious N event, she in return lending willing ^ ear to his love lorn planit. 0 In ancient times Februarius, (or February) dominated by the God Februius was the month wherein on },. the 15th day was celebrated a festal day called "dies febiuata" from ,, februare, to purify. Then the Luperci or priests of Lupercus, alter certain rites and sac- j rifices ran through the city wearing only a cincture of goatskin striking p with leather thongs all whom they met, this performance was a symbol-1 jj ic purification of the land and the , .lt people. i w The Ltipercalia. were held in hon-j nf or of Lupercus the God of fertility; \ ,r hence seed entrusted to the soil or j St. Valentine's dav make thrifty j) plants and assure abundant fruitage, therefore wide awake gardeners arc ever eager to take advantage of the rc day to begin early gardening. , , m ThF It is an interesting fact that matimony in this clay of high priced :ommodities tends toward economy iccording to the comparative notes ?f bachelordom and Mr. NewlyWed.# Said bache'ordom, "living 'omcs high, the price I pay foi Doard alone is $22.00 ptr month .vithout even extenuating privilege !>f onrppvnrccciiwrmti A .ollt.." iiijr iiiui v ivuiuai}' A.h! complacently smiled Mr. Nevvy Wed the entire outlay for living expenses for both wife and I last month were only $22.80 besides the privileged freedom of individuality snjoyed." ?

But, it remains tor Tillmanism vith its accustomed trail of desecraion to add the crushing weight of Humiliation wherewith impious hand ind cringing mien he essays to invoke the questionable majesty of he law to aid hiin in the cowardly ttempt to wrest from womankind he heaven implied perogative of >ossession without let or limit to he jeweled coronet of children in vhich true womanhood has ever rcoiced since the holy crown of mothtr-hood was placed, a glittering dialem of motherly honor upon her >row when the first woman exclaimid in joyous exultation and triumph, 'I have gotten a child from, the -ord." It being then an edict lrom iod the Creator, woman true to the lighest and holiest impulse ot her lature rebels against unholy intrusion within the temple of happiness ike unto heaven and rather than vrest from man his supremacy since voman is queen in her own realm nd needs not mans strength or pow:i, but by nature rejoices in thetowiring oak to which in vine like fraily she tenaciously clings she would mplore men ? whose infantile heads vcre pillowed on the bosom of josoms of mothers and to whom in irile manhood woman is their crown ng glory worn as an adornment and lot to be treated as their serf, > tt eave her the heritage, heaven imsosed; the only atonement for the >angs of maternity, the travail of vhich leads even into the valley and ihadow of death; her children, Delayed Attention C\ sts Money. 1 Your house wears out if not paintid.

A neat I critter she was. a little too broad iu ( the bows and a bit cranky at beating, i but weatherly, take her all In all, and a good sea boat. 1 never see tlio skipper till after wo left Trinidad, West ( Indies, and if 1 bad, may i be hung ( if I'd ever 'a' shipped with him. A | dead faeo and a living body, mates; the faco of a man that had done soino ' dreadful deed and was fullered by a ( ghost he couldn't lay, nohow. It were ( awful to sco him mates; an old sea . dog, tall and slim, with the breath of the salt sea about him. but that ^ pale, ghastly face, and that look over | his shoulders wliou no sound could < be heard. Tlio ilrst olllcer sent me ' down to ask for u sextant, below ' Martinique, und when I see'd that I fuce I'd have given my chances of { whiskey, slumgulllon. beans and hard . tack for life to he out of that Uaileduc. lie see'd the look in my face ( and snatched up a hammer and made | a stroke at inc. t " 'You are liko the rest, you useless trump!' ho howled. 'What, the deuce ' do you all see in my face that you t must start when you see me, as if ( you had seen a ghost? A ghost?ha!' "He looked over his shoulder again in that quick, startled way, ajid drop- ' ped the hammer. Something I could , not see scared him and drove the lit- ! tie color out of his face. " 'Keep off,' ho hissed. 'Stand by me, ; Prontollot, and I'll he your friend for life. Strike at It; beat It to the ' earth, ami tread It under foot! See ; how ]ialo and hollow lie looks, and i how ghastly that mark is the murk ; of Cain, the slayer. Ha, he's gone! Now, Prontollet, what do you want?' "I told him, and got the sextant, ' hut made up my mind 1 wasn't going , into that cabin aguiu if 1 could help ' it. 1 thought ho had snakes, but it turned out worse than that- a blamed ' sight worse. I didn't see him again ; iiin r uaje, ana me nrst Officer seemed to siill the ship. " 'doing to have a dirty lime soon, ; I*rontoilet,' he said, glancing at the > sky; 'we'll have to take In our kites before three hours.' "Mr. North was a good officer, and ' we respected him as such. 1 give him my manners?I always do when an ' < !li < r uses me as a man, and I said, ( '11 ain't many could make had weath- ' or out i that sky, Mr. North, hut \ you're itght, all the same. We'll have a i lowcmt. It will lie likely to bring the skipper on dock.' "1 went away from him. Hefore the lirst waich was over I heard the first m e at the foroecuttle: 'Hi, you. t imltertoes- Rouse and shake yourselves. Tumble up, tumble up, tie re! All hands on deck, ahoy!' " Away, you sea draft!' roared the mat* *I*uy out there, lively. Sfi.p ( her .fr ;) her, iny soils! She don't ] want a.; much clothes as a South Sea * woman.' ; ' We didn't need much ordering, for ; we >tw *he danger, and in n few tninutci the lkirleduc was ready for busiii( 1 was standing by the rail, holding cm to a line, when 1 heard sin ii a cry as i never want to hear again, and there was the skipper, bedding a lantern in hl6 hand. " 'Hi, there, Mr. North! what are you doing, you lubber? l)o you dare strip the IJarlequc. without askjlng me?" "'Mr. Whitmore?captain,' replied the mate, turning white us a ghost, 'I v ? I did not like to disturb you.' ; "'Cowards!' yelled the skipper, jumping on the Quarter-deck with his . pray hair Hunting in the wind. 'Lay ' her a course; keep hor to it. Do you i hear, there at the wheel?' ^ " 'Aye, aye, sir.' " 'Keep her sou'-sou'eftst.' ^ " 'But, captain,' gasped the mate, ' for the love of heaven, don't cast N iway the ship.' > " 'Mutiny, by ,' screamed the kipper. 'Ha. ita, ha! here Is more . work for me to do. Wait till I lay Iter course, and then I'll make you sweat blood. Aloft there, and shako >ut everything that will draw.' "'Boys.' cried the mate, jumping up ?n the deck, 'this man is mad. Se11 re him and take your orders from ne.' C "Before we could stop hint the raid skipper drew it pistol and llred at he mate, who dropped on the quar- ?. or-ileek. We ran in to seize the mad ' nan, who was making for the wheel, it! lit skipped hy us and jumped on he lea tail. "'11a! eurse your white face. 1 _ uivc done it again,1 lie cried. 'Do | ou think I will live with two such aces on my traelt? Hurrah for a :mve in the sea!' r "He Hung his lantern upon the rater, threw up his hands and plung(1 head lirst into the ltoiling surge, ml we were half a mile away in four nlnutes. At the same time the mate o.-c upon lils elbow and stood up if taggering. So Mr. North was skip- si it * of the Barleduc, and a good one, no. lie told me that the captain truck his third mate with a marlln pike in the Pacific, and the man icil from the blow.
