HOT LOVE.

One of the queerest and funniest things to
think of in after life is Boys Love" No soon
er does a boy acquire a tolerabe stature, than he
begins to imagine himself man; and to are
manish ways. He casts sidelong gances at ey-
cry tall girl he happens to meet, becomes a reg
uar attendant at church, or meeting, sports q
cane carries his head erect. and struts little in
his walk. Presently he falls in love; yes falls
is the proper word because it indicates his hap
py, delirious establishment. He lives now in
fairy region, somewhere collateral to the world,
and yet, somehow blended neXtricably with it.
He perfumes his hair with fragrant oils seat
tiers essences over his handkerchief, and dcspc-
rately shayes and anuonts for a beard. He
quotes poetry in which love- and dove" and
"heart and dart" peculiarly predominant ; and
as he plungeS deeper in the delicious labyrinth,
tancies himself filled with the divine Gtllatus, and
suddenly breaks out into the scarlet rash--ot
rhyme. lie feeds uIon the looks of his beloved;
is raised to the seventh heaven if She speaks a
pleasant word is BETRAYED into the most aston
ishing ecstaceS by a smile and is plunged in
to the gloomost region Of misauthropy ly

He believes himself the most devoted lover in
the world. There was never such another -
There never vii! be. He is the one great idola-
tor lie is the very type OF magnanimiIy and
yelling thought. Poverty, with the adorable be-
loved, he rapturousy aposrophises as the first
of ali earthly blessings; and Love in a cottage
with water and crust, is his beau-iLeal para
disc of dainty delights
lie declares to himself, with the most solemn
emphasis, that he would 20 through fire and

AWFUL EFFECTS OF THE LIQUoR-LAw IN
MAINE The Portsmouth Journal says:-"The
operation of this law, in some of its bearings, IS
decidedly against some of the old usages. The
city of Portland is now suffering in consequence
of the operation Of the law, being driven to the
necessity of hiring workmen to pctorm the du-
ties which have heretofore been done Ivy the in
mates of the aim house, without pay. 1t the law
continues it is questionable whether aims house
establishments will be worth sustaining. 1t Is
said that their patronage is dwndcd one half al
ready This onslaught on paupcrlsm, disease
and crime is a serious thing to think Of! The
interest of doctors are seriously affected off
GERS in criminal courts are in losing their bus
mess, and the prisons in most Counties will soon
be to let. VIII the people uphold this state o f
things All men OF spirit will of course cry
out against it but they will and must submit to
the mandate of the people"
