The occa,s.on of that descent is the 14t1.i of February, which is known perhaps better wherever the Anglo- Saxon lingo asserts its precloniinance, as Valentine's Day. There are per- haps three reasons for sending valen- tines. Once a year the day affords an opportune and. harmless medium of portraying the weaknesses of triends and the many little vagaries of fellow - beings. Then again, there are those who take advantage of the day to show a little yindictiveness, masking under anonymity, Still again, it offers an opportunity to the love-sick swain, otherwise without the neces- sary courage, to declare &little senti- ment, basking under the radiance of the ridiculous, but which is really meant to be the heartfelt sentiment. Of late years, however, the use of val- entines has depreciated to some ex- tent. LENT. -The season of lent opened yesterday. The season of social gay- ety will be interrupted for forty- days, and in its place will come a season of quiet and religious observance. Lent, observed to commemorate the forty days' fast of our Lord in the wilder- ness, began this year on February 12 (Ash Wednesday). It ends with Eas- ter Sunday, the day of spring cos- tumes. The period of fasting is forty days, with all the churches that ob- serve Lent,except the Greek churches, which have lengthened it to forty- eight days. Sundays are not counted in the fast. Pope Gregory, the Great, in 590, directed that the season should begin on the sixth Sunday before Easter, and that on all the interven- ing week days, fasting should be prac- ticed. Afterwards, either by him or by Gregory II., four days were added, to make the whole fast forty days. The Sundays included in the Lenten period are observed as festivals, never as fasts, and are, therefore, called Sundays in Lent and not Sundays of Lent. The last, or passion week, is considered the most solemn portion of the season and is generally known as "Holy week." HEYEMIornDT-:_E. Vim.- Last Wednesday the ofthe Ladies' G ottheTriv4terorial church,. to the number of about twenty, rang- ing in avoirdupois from one hundred to two hundred and fifty pounds, en- gaged a pleasure sleigh to be driven to the home. of Mr. P.A. Mrs. Wm. Dearing, 3rd con. of btephen, to spend the afternoon. All went well* until within a quarter ot a mile of their destination, when a huge snow bank which crossed the road. and. extended the remaining distance was encount- ered. The driver being anxious to de- liver his load plunged his horses into the snow. The horses went down, the sleigh capsized and the harness broke: It seemed as though the journ- ney was ended. Womanlike, the ladies were not to be baffled, and after shaking themselves of the snow, and bolding a short conference, they as. cended the snowbank and set on foot for Mr. Dearings. They did not foot it far, and none of them can tell ex- actly how they got there. A weighty member would sink with one foot and go down, It wouldtake several of the more nimble to rescue her, while a little farther another heavy -weight would be undergoing a similar experi- ence. Those who did not act as yes:. Meta were prostrated at the amusing spectacle. Too slow progress was being miide, and after making a standing place for those who were unfortunate endugh to be too heavy for snowbanks. the one hundred pounders set out to beat a path. Finally they reached Mr.Dearing's,very tired and worn out, •and under the kind hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Dearing,the remainder of the evening wag so pleasantly wiled away' they almost forgot their sad experi- ence, The Aeeeeeer is on his yearly rounds and will call on yota Mise Hattie White, of Niagara, is visiting friends in town, Arthur Kemp, of the IVIolsons bank, Ottawa, is home on e, visit.
