St. Valentine's Day.
Monday, 14th inst., being this venerable
saint's anniversary, we cannot do better
than insert the following '-True- Legend of
St. Valentine,'' who was a lady,—the inas^
online word being Valentin :
In the cold court of Saint Louis the cold-
est maid, I ween,
Was t!ie noblest and ,the loveliest, the
Lady Valentine, '
In vain love breathed about her, from
hearts, and lips, and eyes;
She was blind to lovers' gazings, and deaf
to lovers' sighs.
The quantity of billets dovx she got quite
drove her ild ;
Her toilet every morning With the horrid
things was piled;
They were on iter plate at dinner; they
way hud her on the stairs ;
She found them in her mass-book when
she knelt to eay her prayers.
TtieiP were twenty Knights adventurers,
that ever rode in arms,
To maintain against all comers this cruel
lady's charms;
And scarce a day but one of them was
brought home 011 a bier:
the duel Lady Valentine, she never
shed a tear.
. • - '' ' * ' v > .. .i 1 '
TiiU# loved, but all unloving, Master Cu-
pid she defied.
(She fancied it was piety, but it was only
pride.)
Till tired of court and courtiers, she sought
the cloister's pale.
And calmly had her hair cut off, and calm-
ly took the veil.
' And now," she thought, "I've found the
life that fits a-maiden pure."
Ami she tried hard to look humble, but
she only looked demure ; ,
She was sure of all the sisters to be ear-
liest at Matin#,
And wore her sackcloth with more pride
than e'er she wore her satins.
•j> • • '*\tv ; . •; : v ' j i
But still, somehow or other, she never
went to bed, _
Butthethoughtofthose sail billets dovx
would come into her head ;
She missed them on her table, and un-
wittingly she sighed,
When, on opening her mass-book, she
ne'er found oiio inside.
" Slit; put on ..er hair shuts. euar-^r than
weiceeVer worn be.hire:
-VI11 eh as she'd always Hogged herself,
.she Hogged herself still more :
Fasting and penance she essayed, but it
was all in vain;
Love wouid keep burning in her heart,
and boiling in her biain.
The Convent and the Country round were
tilled with adtniratiofi
Of her fastings, and her Hoggings, and her
self-moi tifieati.m :
They chose her for their Abbess, ere a
year and a day :
But the struggle was too much for her—
she slowly pined away.
Ohe rugiit Uor prtHet side she called
tiie nuns, and said,
'•Nt* doubt they'll make a saint of me, as
soon as 1 am dead.
Remember, sisters, if they do, the patron
saint I'll be
Of lovers and of ladies—who shall warn-
ing take by me."
At this the holy sisters looked perfectly
aghast; •
Of all things in het sainted head they
fancied love the last;
But sadly smiled Saint Valentine—and
smiling so she died,
For well she knew how sore they rue
who battle love with pride.

The Alexandria (La) Republican, of the

departure of the sheiiff of Rapides parish
for California.
Our community was thrown into ;i state
of great excitement on Thursday last, by
the report that the sheriff of Rapides, Chas.
S. Leckie, had left and gone California.
Upon inquiry, the report proved, to the
extreme mortification and regret of numer
dreamed thai he was standing near a great
city, among thousands of people, and that
he saw the same person he had seen seized
in the wood brought out and suspended on a
gallows. When Andre and Miss Seward ar-

his new acquaintance was the antetype of
the man in the dream."

Thjj Iv^st Case of G keen ness.—The
Washington Republic tells"the following
queer gipsey story. The person swindled
is Capt. Robert Perry, of Anne Arundel coun-
ty, Virginia—'a man who, it is said, has al-
ways had sense enough heretofore gut out
...of the rain :
Oue of the gipseys, an old woman, told
him th%t a treasure of enormous value was
secietcdon his farm, but refused to disclose
its location unless lie gave her $1;000. This
sum was procured, placed in a trunk, and
locked, the key being given to Capt. Perry.
In three days the gipsey returned, and she
and Perry had an interview alone. The
trunk was opened, and the bundle was found
exactly as it had been placed. He was re-
quired then to go upon his knees, in order
that her incantations performed over the
trunk and money might have their effect —
While so engaged, her cloak fell upon the
trunk, but she qu'ckly replaced, it on her
shoulders. The mysterious proceeding be-
ing over, Perry was called to examine the
"T?uuk, and fouud"it all right; re-locked it
and pocketed the key. He was now told
that the work was done, and that ori the
ninth day she would returu. and il the mon-
ey, &e., in the trunk were all right, she
would be at liberty to point out to him tne
- exact location of the treasure on his farm.
The ninth day came, but the gipsey did not
appear, and, after waiting a day or two lon-
ger, the trank was opened, but the bundle
in which the $1,000 was placed was found
to centain only some two hundred coppeis
and a few leaves of tobacco! The gipsej
J.ad substituted this bundle for the one con-
taining his money. Capt. Perry followed
fcsit the gipseys to Washington, and had several
:•'. thtiia arrested, but was unable to identit)
