Ihe Lore OF the Stranger, of Man for Woman!
-Hoiy bond! When tho union Of hearts, souls
and hands, Of gentle friendship Of passionate feel-
ing, is formed at once. When two beings, under
stronger than magnetic influence, become ono in
sentiment one in feeling. one in all heir wishes.
Strongest passion of the mind, which when once
excited, overcomcs all obstacles, laughs ut all
dangers, and moves on increasingly to the attain
ment OF its object. In following its Dictates we
but obey the voice of nature, OF power irresist-
BILE; and implanted IN the breast for naught save
good purposes. Its not interest, the acquisition
principle CT our nature, that speaks, but passion,
admiration, lore. and if we obey any other voice,
we but create the bitterness and unhappiness Of
after days. Unhappy, indeed is his condition,
whom we cannot love. We have heard it said,
''Let poverty come in at the door and love will fly
out OF the window" 1t is good saying. and doubt
less worthy Of all acception ; but we believe that
lore, true lore. was never there. Have not seen
two loving partners stripped Of all that tho world
esteems worthy of value, exposed to "thc oppres-
sor's wrong, the proud mans contumey,'' and
yet happy, aye happy in the midst of want and
prIvation! for they loved each other and that love
the world could not take from them. Tho lam
guage of Scripture is moro full of TRUTH ..B.,ter
is dinner Of horbs, where lore is, than stalled
OK and hatred therewith."-Saint Louis Ariel.

pleasure to quote the following from the Baltimore
Sun, in relation to this affair.
Iho decided stand taken by the Hon. Sc.
cretary OF War is said to havc had its share of
influence IN ending this matter. He has said hero

direct violation Of law and must be suppressed.

approved by the head Of the department" 1t is
understood that he issued an ofdor on Sunday last,

that hair on mans face is not only an index of

those fellows whose luxurnnce Of head is confined
altogether to what is visible on the outside, will
agree with Mr.. Willis in his estimate of the value
