It s an oli superstition;' that the birds choose their niites.on Valentine day. Oi course this is not true, for. away!' up north it is still midwinter; and aray down south the spring is over. It is only a narrow belt of country tha- Las the vernal equinox in March. Whether! it is eummer or wiuterdoeaj uot depend uppfi- the months j"3ut where we aire located.' The old world was first settled in iur latitude north of the equaior, and go all the names and si mis and traditions and siipersti.. tions have come dosvn to us aloni; the same parallels;! but they, don't fit some ether coun tries at all. It is hard for tn to realize that away down below the equator December is hot and July is cold. St. Valentine never li;ed down where; the birds began Ato mate in Septem ber and the March winds do not blow nor the dogwood bloom in April, nor the child ren have their picnics in May. The whole course of nature's seasons is reversed and we would hardly know ourselves were we suddenly traurplanted there. I was reading thevother day in a northern p ipor about the terrible blizzards in that ragion;-where the thrrmoineter was 50 degrees below z-;rtt, jimd in auother column ': wa-the. for eign news that told aborit 1 the awful heat in 'south Am-tralia where the thermometer was 120 , degrees above .to on tire loth of January., This was a differ ence of only 170 degrees, j s.ud the people in both , countries were suffering about alike, though in one it w.is heat ana iu' the other cold. The good St. VaUritine was beheaded about 25y years alter Christ. He was a man of great learning and pb;ty- and charity, and everybody btved him I but the wicked Kinperor Claudius, and so the people 'commemora ted his virtues by making hihe day of his death 1i nulaba jay. As he loved evervlrxly !iind everything, ttiey i:ot up pretty supc'rotitioit about birds mating. Afterwards boys and girls took it' up said it was a ;good time of bad July put in to get even with Augustus; and so King Niima had February put :in in honor of the; festival of Luper cus Februus, one of their myth ical gods. The festival was held annually on;the 15th of February, and some people say that the observance of the 14th day, came from i the festival, jraybe it did. -. ; Maybe it didn't, 'the good saint had the'' credit i of it, and the best right to it, so we will let mmKeep it. lhere is n use in undermining i any thing that has been pleasant to us in the past. They have blot ted out William Tell and are "after Shakespeare, and the oth er day I saw an article headed "Santa Claus must go." jSome men would assassinate Joan of Arc and Aladdin and Sancho Pan za and Cinderella and Jack apd the Bean Stalk and Uncle toby and Tam O'Shanter and Christmas and the Fourth of July. What is the good of dry ing up all the imagination of our natures? Here are the very names of the days of the week t hat came down to us from Scandinavian mythology, and another mythology gave us the names of the planets and con stellations. So let St. Valentine and St., Patrick have their days, and St. Paul and St. Peter) their churches, and St. James his NUM15ER-5 Li UM.OM l1rti . , I V" CHmMcmkIi ( ' M"-" '. i-f Sis " ( .?., were afraid of them but one day I heard an awful squealing in the strip of wods- back of my house, aud I thought I heard a man say 'Bite him Tramp ! seize him Tramp! So I hnrried down tfcere and found a big, brindle, Strang dog: just tearing a big hog all to peices, but I couldn't find anybody sicking him on, and I didn't feel like sicking him off. The next day the owner cam pool ing around with a gun, I and said he saw a big Vrlndb dog run under Nabor Freeman's house, and he was gwio to kllL him and sue for damages' be sides. Nabor Freeman straight ened up with indignation aad said, "he is not my dor sir. I don't know anything about him If he is at my hovse' he dont belong thre; he just tuck up there. My opinion Is that that dog is a tramp. I jcan't keep these stray dogs from eat ing nog meat wnen mey! are hungry." . j Well those hogs never troub led us any mor and my re spect for stray dogs has greatly increased. J Bill Akp.
