Schoolboys have a very uncomplimentary way of presenting each other with these poetical memorials—
"Peep, fool, peep,
What do you think to see?
Every one has a Valentine,
And here's one for thee!"
Far different from these is a stanza which is a great favorite with young girls on this day, offered indiscriminately, and, of course, quite innocently, to most of their acquaintances—
"The rose is red,
The violet's blue;
Pinks are sweet,
And so are you!"
