they have found is a grovelling, cowering’ wretch, hiding in the cave he found to hand, | with barely sutlicient reason to crush bones! with a stone, to make celts, arrow heads, and | fish-hooks, to carve a bow! or a spoon out of a; skull, and with sufficient vanity to string! neckiaces or fiint stones, and even to make a, a comb. The principal charm of these pro- | mising discoveries is that these pitiable crea- | tures cannot be supposed to have had any! idea of God. They can have had no priests, | no churches, no literature, no poets, Of; course it would have to be preved from these} uegative arguments that, if they ever existed, they had no idea of God; for many people} have an idea of God, and very deep sensations | of a just and avenging (rod, aud yet have little; tosiow for it. A man can be religious after

a fashion and make very little show of it—! too little indeed. A few hours will take an, earnest ethnological inquirer to districts where | human beings will, of choice, make commom) homes aud common tables with pigs, and; forcibly resist any attempt to present them | with a human habitation in place of a sty. | But he will not find these people destitute oi | religious ideas and duties because they lack

the special characteristics of clvilisation. Qa | the contrary, he wil! find them peopling earth,

air, and sky, more thickly and vividly than) those who, after lives of research, have not! yet lit upon a belief they can close with.” j

Here is another effective piece of writing) directed against the same school:

‘« There is much free talk about nature, as! if its study must lead to all goodness and truth. Whatis meant by nature? Does it’ include man? If not, then it stands tor the, physical creation and nothing more, But na- | ture in this sense wants personality. The hu-: man svul cannot held spiritual communication with matier or with forces and laws, You! cannot breath out your sorrows or your aspir-. ations to the law of gravitation, or to the laws | of electricity, or to the laws of Zchemical com: | bination; nor can you to a telescope and all you can see through it, or ta a rainbow, or to an oak tree, or toa bed of tulips, or to a prize orchid. You may be deeply interested in the weather, but your devotional feelings find | neither scope nor rest there. The young lady) of the period will call it * beastly,’ and her} male friend will curse it outright hey may, both be somewhat in advance of yourseif, bat even very good Christians do not treat their native sky as respectfully as the Romans did | their arbiter of atmospheric differences, Father | Jupiter,”

* *

The peculiar customs observed on St Valeaiine’s Day have little to do with the,

Saint beyond the fact that the day) is selected tor their observance. In’!

ancient Rume 1s was the practice during | February to celebrate feasts in honor of | Pan and Juno. On this occasion the names of young women were put into a_ box, whence they were drawn by the men as chance directed. To abolish this heathen custom, several of the eariy Christian pas- tors substituted the names of saints in bil- lets given on this day. St. Valentine’s Day was chosen for this custom because it occurred at nearly the same day. 1t seems, however, that it was not possible altogether to eradicate the old custom, and it has come down tous so modified by Christ aa influences as to be a vast improvement on the heathen observances. * + *

According to Chambers, the true proper ceremony of St. Valentine’s Day was the drawing of a kind of lottery, followed by ceremonies not much unlike what is gener- ally called the game of forfeits. *‘On the eve of St. Valentine’s Day,” says Misson, a learned traveller of the early part of the last century, ‘the yonng folks in Eogland and Scotland by a very ancient custom

celebrate a little festival, An equal nuwher

; i j ;

of maids and bachelors get together, each writes their true or some feigned name upon

separate billets, which they roll up and draw by way of lots, the maids taking the men’s billets and the men the maid’s, so that each of the young men lights upon a gir) that he calls his Valentine, and each of

the girls upon a young man whom she calls

hers, By this means each has two valentines; but the man sticks faster to the valentine that has fallen to him than to the valentine to whom he is fallen. Fortune having thus divided the company into so many coupies, the valentines give balls and treats to their mistresses, wear the billets several days

upon their bosoms or s!eeves, and the little |

sport often ends in love.”

* *

Among the common pe ople of England it was a popular belief that on St. Valentine’s Day the birds chose their mates :

‘Hail, Bishop? Valentine! whose day this is,

| All the air is thy diocese,

And all the chirping choristers

And other birds are thy parishioners :

Thou marryest every year

The lyric larks, and the giave, whispering duve ;

The sparrow that neglects his life for love,

The household bird with the red stomacher;

Thou mak’st the bleckbird speed as soon

As doth the goldtinch or the halycon—

This day more cheerfully than ever shine,

This day which might inflame thyself, old Valentine !”

News Notes.

It is reported that Mexico will establish) diplomatic relations with Brazil. ;

France has refused Germany’s invitations to a labor congress, having already accepted one from Switzerland. i

The despatch sent by Lord Salisbury to®) the Portuguese Government on Jan, 28th, 3) said that the Poriuguese had invaded® the disputed terirory in Africa, in-e: sultee the British flag, killed England's ® allies before asking for mediation accord-a ing to th. erms of the Berlin treaty. Por-@ tugal, thedespatch said, had no right to® (claiia such mediation. The reply of the! | Portuguese government to this despatch ex- ¥ | plained that pi parations for war were being ‘made by Portugal. E

| It wasa matter of general remark last | year tnat the German Emperor was highly © flattered by his appointment to be an ‘Ad. @ /miral of the British fleet, and his recent @ telegram to the Duke of Cambridge, com- §

\inander-in-chief of the army, upon the 9 death of Lord Napier of Magdala, shows an w= interest which is something warmer than & that of a foreign potentate.

I deeply grieve for the Fy, |loss of the excellent Lord Napier of Mag- Bi dala, and I hasten to express my sympathy es jto you and the whole British forces, His © noble character, fiue gentlemanly bearing, © |his simplicity, and splendid soldiering @ \for which my grandpapa and papa always 4% ‘held him in high esteem.

stew I’m about referring to is of an entirely different nature, we will not, for the present, | take up your time in anything foreign from 9 the point. Take three or four stalks of celery, cut into small pieces, boil in wa er until tender, add milk, butter and pepper, same quantity as for an oyster stew, serve hot with oyster crackers. This is ove of the most toothsome, as well as health-promoting dishes A significant fact about celery is that mos every doctor uses it, and the significetion of it iis this, in their practice, in direct contact iwith most every form of disease, some such preventive and nerve rostorer is needed, It has been said that celery and lemons should be treely used as a preventative of la grippe, ‘and also the best medicine to take for it. As Gay & Son have some celery left yet. it would be an actual sin of omission (if in feed of it) not to procure some. A few weeks more and celery will be a thing of the past. **A word to the wise is sufficient.” Our best celer will be 50 cents per dozen for this mont only.
