Desultory Thoughts on Love.

"Marry for love alone, but see that
thou love that which is lovely" was the
pure, wise and tender precept, of the
broad brimmed founder of Pennsyva-
MIA.
1t is in vain to dispute, resist, or to re-
solve, we are all obnoxious 10 this ire
slstible power, whose sway every man,
unless he be more or less than man, must
acknowledge, at some period of his HE.
be he soldier or scholar, ambitious poll
,iclan, votary of pleasure, or slave OF
business, il matters not--sooner or later
ms heart is touched--his spirits moved
within him--and he loses the mastery Of
his affections. And when this eventlul
period has arrived, how altered are the
thoughts of his mind and The sentiments
OF his heart! Perhaps he does not sus-
pect what it is that possesses hlm--per-
maps he resists with efforts which but
entangle him the more. He wanders
about, restless, uneasy, dissatisfied lie
feels himself under a power when ne
can neither disIodge nor control Lake
Tue stricken deer, he rushes Oh with 'he
nerd, or pIungos in the deepest recesses

THE VISIT.

In one of the freezing days OF our
young physician, recently
married, invited his wife to accompany
him on Il visit to one of his patients.
"You arc romancing, James; what =!
visit family without an introduction, or
an invitation, or an exchange of cardsi'
"Inthis family, my dear Amanda, there
is no ceremony OF cards." said james,
"but they will not be less pleased 10 see
you"
81 never used to go to see poor poo
ple," said Amanda thoughtfully, "bul"
continued she, after a short deliberation,
| will 60 with you any where"
They passed from the handsome street
of their residence, to small public
square, and crossing over, entered a small
alley, in which Amanda saw row Of
houses built in manner that showed
they we're for the luborng class. Cross
ing the whole range they entered the last
house, and at the first door Dr. Ledson
gave a gentle rap. A plain dressed wo-
man opened it and welcomed them.
Two chairs were Immediately set out,
one with the back broken off, the other
rckety and unstable.
Before the fire were two little children
seated on the hearth, making a noise
which the attendant female in vain en-.
deayored 10 quel A girl about ten
I years cf age came out Of small bed

Ina large rude chair sat thin female

her teeth chartered with the vain endea

some nourishment at the hands Of hel
companion, she seemed revived.

She did not weep; she was past tia

she could have acquired from volumes
