Valentine, For Whom lt Wan Named, Recame a Martyr_Ho Was Renten mid Beheaded, St. Valentine Day bas como and gone. How many know the origin of tho observance of it? The day bears tho name of St. Val entine, tbe most popular of saints. It is his day, hut it can scarcely be said (hal h.. is responsible for the manner of Ks observance. St. Valentine was horn about Ibo year 270, in the reign of tbe [loman emperor, Marcus Aurelius Claudius. Ile was a gentle, charitable bishop, famous for bis deeds of kindness, his benignity and his powers of poi s ua sion in converting pagans t?. "ho Christ lon belief. His fate was it of many of the old Christian bis; ps and churchmen. Ile became a mar tyr, was first beaten With clubs nd then beheaded. His body now rest* in tho (burch of SI. Prbxodos in Home. After his death, as a recompenso for his suffering, ho was canonised. Popo Julius honored him slili fur ther by erecting a church to his memory near the Ponto Molo, in Koine. The saint's name was also given to tho gato now known as the Porta del Pop?la, Hun known as Porta Valentino. Thia is a brief sketch of his life, just what connection lhere is between the saint and thc cupid-coVorcd cards KO Inseporably associated with the celebration of his birthday, ii is bard to discover, ooo theory Is that ii was au effort ol' tho church, (ben shagging with tho problem of con verting all tho Latin world lo Chrls tanity, to multo Ibis concession, in order lo provo to the pagans thal the Christian religion was not harsh and ugly. More probably tho observance has come down through tho centuries from the days of Hu? early Romans, when the 10th of February was ob served with tho feast of the Luper calia. This ceremony was originally for purification and atonement, but by tho ? volution of changing customs and conditions, the day has come to be what it now is a time for the exchange of sentiment, As in the Knight, in more subtle, modern man ner, offers to bis lady love Iiis heart, and "never (banging love." ll is ft curious incident if nothing more' that tho birthday of tho old saint, comos ut tho time when the birds begin their mating. Chaucer makes Nature say: Ye know well how on St; Valen tine's Day Hy my statute and my goverance Ve lo choose your mates."
