The ancient English custom of giving love tokens on the twentieth of August was a very wise and far seeing plan for settling yoiinjr ladies in life, and would, if revived, enable a minima with a large family of girls to get rid of them as quick ly as pineapples at a penny; a slice. It was the custom in England, a lung time ago, for "enamored tnaydes and ger.til wo men" to give their favorita swains, as to kens of their love, little handkerchiefs, about three or four inches square, wMujht round about, olten in embroidery, with a lassell at each corner and a small one in the centre. The finest of these favors were edged with narrow gold lace or twist; and then, being folded up in fmr cross folds, o that the middle mitrht bo seen, they -ere worn by lha accepted lovers in their hats or on the breast. These favors became, at last, so much in voiroe, that they were sold ready made in the shops, in Q.ueen Elizabeih's lime, from sixpence to sixteen p-nee a piece. A nice yong Udy of Early County.
