NEW YORK 8ST. VALENTINE’S DAY. ‘St, Valentine ts not the saint he was by any means. From the saint of sentiment, of pathos, of wit, and of the youngest kind of young love, he has descended by slow degress to be the patron of the commonest cemicalities, to wink ina jolly way at caricatures and oddities that ought to put a respect- able satnt upon bis dignity, St. Valentine has de- teriorated with the times, Once he would accept notuing from his devotees but gilding and tinting, and cupids and hearts, and trae love knots and rings, typical of the love that hath no end. He had @ fondness for delicious bits of rhyme, where sharp and relentless darts Were sent straight into tender and unsuspecting hearts, and, rankling there in cruel fashion, awoke no end of tender passion, He had a sentimental way ef talking of deep blue eyes and anxious sighs, and was spooney over affinities that would last through the eternities, and always love more as the cycles passed o'er them, It would be something to see the loads of poetry (?) that this saint has inspired. Plump matrons who, surrounded by their beioved olive branches, read this résumé of the doings of said saint, wil go back m fond memory of their salad days. They have not forgotten how their hearts palpitated as the important day drew near, Would they get & valentine from Fred, and what would he say? The post- man was never s0 important @ personage as on the 14th of February, Then he was a veritable Fate, buttoned up to the chin inashaggy overcoat, and tramping from house to house in monstrous boots that fell directly upon the heart er every maiden whom he passed unnoticed. These same sober matrons have their old-fashioned valen- tines put away in a private drawer now. The em- bossed and tinted paper is yellow and the scent of roses and violets has long ago evaporated; the Cuplas have changed to commonplace fat boys, just as the dear, dainty maidens to whom years ago the valen- tine Wassent have changed to commonplace fat Yet there isa sort of serio-cemic pleasure in opening these oid iove tokens and reading, aiter the lapse of thirty years perhaps, such words as these:— ‘With all my soul, love, P11 be thine, Is thou wilt be my valentine, or— ‘Time may crease thy brow with cn: Avs bleach thy locks of auburn hal: ‘Yet naught can change this heart of Li thou wilt be my vaientine. The mother of a family goes dreamily back over the heads of Bobby and Sammy and Angelina to tie days when she was a ‘young thing” and read with a thrlli— A!l the roses in all the gardens ‘Vannot equal thy cheeks, my love; All the violets in all the meadows ‘Are not as blue as thine ej dove; Sunshine sleeps tu thy hair, my darling ; ‘ny breath 1 as sweet as'the breath of Kine; ‘All the world were well lost, my darling, If thou wert my own dear valentine. Alas! the writer 1s a prosperous pork merchant, and woulan’t give one promising pig tor all tne “roses 10 all the gardens” or for all the valenunes im ail tue snops; and as for the heart that thrilled at the reception of the loving words, it wonders how it could have been ‘30 foolish’? in those days, St. Valentine bas always been a mischief maker, aud bas lent himself to further the ends of malicious people in @& very reprehen- sible way. If anybody had a spite against his neighbor it wes through this oid saint that he took his revenge. A gossip would re- ceive @ valenlne representing a horrid crove with her ear at tke keyboie; and all the fuivles of human uatare were iilustrated by pictures too hideous to be called comic, A faithtul chronicler says:—‘‘The true, proper cere- mony of st. Valentine’s Day was the drawing of a kind of lottery, followed by ceremonies not much unlike what is generaily calied the game of forfeits.” Another says:—‘On the eve oi St. Valentine's Day the young folks in England, by a very ancient cus- tom, cesebrate a little tesilval. An equal humber of maids and bachelors get together; each writes his or her une or feigned name upon a separate billet, the billets are all rolied together and drawn by way of lots, the men drawing irom the maidens’ billets and the maidens fiom the men’s, The name that is drawn is the valentine of tle drawer. Fortuue having divided the company thus tuto couples, the valenunes give balis and treats to their Mistresses, Wear Uneir billets ior several days upon tueir bosois or sleeves, and Ubis little sport after ends in love.”? In those old days married and single were alike liabie to be chesen a4 @ vaientine, and a present Was invariably given to the cleosing party. Pepys says in his viary on Valentine's Day, 1607:—“This wworning, came up to my wile’s bedside little Will Mercer, to be her valentine, and brought her name written upon biue paper, in gold letters, done by himself, Very pretty, aud we were both well pleased with it. But, Lam also this year my wile’s valen- tune, and it will cost ine £5.’ In 1663 he writes:— “Tois evening my wife did with great pleasure William G. Temple, I speak of him from personal experience as being one of the best and most efficient commanders in the navy. During the late war J served under him as a watch and navigating j oMcer, and on our way to jotn in the attack on Fert Fisher our ship (the Pontoosuc) encountered one of | the most terrible gales that ever swept across the | Atlantic.

Serenade. Adagio... Valse, A Mino1 Consolation ‘La Rapudite. Brindisi—“Lucrezia Borgia’ brag iss Marie Krebs. Passing over Mendelssohn and Beethoven, on both of whom in connection with Miss Krebs we have spoken before at length, we come to the three little morceauz ot Chopin, Liszt and Wallace. The first was played, simple ay ft 18, much better than ever we thought the planist was capable of rendering the poet of the plano, Liszt's beautiful mejody 1s manifestly plagiarized from the second movement of the celebrated Hensell con- certs, which Pattison has introduced into this coun- try. The Wallace impromptu is too weil known to need special comment. Suflice it to say that Miss Krebs played all three perfectly. We have heard the “Rigolette’’ fantasie played over one hundred times, and it is one of our own favorite studies. Miss Krebs played it better than ever we heard 1t before. Regarding her assistants we must say that Mr. Bergner’s violoncello playing 1s “linked sweet- ness, long drawn art,’? without a bit of power or vigor, and Mile. Hallier is a very good artiste as far as one can judge from two ballads like those on the rogramme. ‘Tbe lady vocalist 1s a very estimabie lady, and, judging from the splendid style in which she rendered her selections yesterday, she must make a decided hit in a more ambitions sphere, Miss Krebs gives another recital on Saturday mght.

The shyster 1s defictent in brains as he ts fa- vored with brass—which latter metal he exchanges im large quantities for greenbacks. His llle game is interviewing the prisoners ‘down stairs” propiaimbi to them his influence with the court, king all he can get—c’est a dive, all they’ve got— and walking up stairs again jubilant and jovial. Possibly he sings, “Shoo fly, don’t bodder me,’’ and as @ general ri ait “Shoo fly”? does not bother hi any more, if a very bad defence can send his unfortunate victim to Sing Sing more quickly taan he would otherwise go, The following cases will give some idea of the way these lights (’) of an honorable professioum ake their money:—About three months ago an English sea captain was found lying insensibly drank near the Metrepolitan Hotel. @ was taken up by an oMice, and lodged for the night in the station house. The next morning he was taken to Jefferson Market and put in the box” to await the opening ef the cow Acertain shyster learned from the officer who the prisoner was and for what he was arrested, At once the shyster went to the box and told the unlucky sailor that he had been under arrest for assaulting a young girl, breaking into a bank and snooting a policeman. And the shyster declared his ability and willingness to free the sailor from each and every charge on conditien of receiving a handsome fee. The sailor gave asa fee all the money he had—$150 in gold, and his watch and chain, worth $250.. The shyster went to the desk, paid a fine of ten dollars—for the charge was only ‘being drunk’—and the sallor went to his ship chuckling ever his lucky release. Should any one, by accident or mishap, be locked up at the Market, there is avery civil messenger attached to the court, who wil! get him a capital cup of muddy coffee, a buffalo steak and a brickbat roll for a trifling five dollar pill. The king of the bummers who frequents this court is in prison, and his foliowers are unworthy of SHIPPING NEWS. | Moon rises,.morn 12 25 5 31 | High water...eve 1 49 OCEAN STEAMERS. 7 Bowling Green 129 Broadway. +/88 Broad street. +|7 Bewling Green +|15 Broadway. -|69 Broadway. 15 Broadway. ‘IT Rowling Green :|7Bowhng Green + /29 Broadway.
