Sunshine and Love.
is hard telling (says the Knickerbocker) which
of these uxues does the most good Sunshine brings
and carries off melancholy, but love stocks
us with fresh eggs, young chickens, veal sghs, and
rule boso!ned shirts. 1t is 20 love that Nature has
ntrused the charge of future generations, and the
peopIing OF the great valley of the Mississippi. Talk
about the power of machnery-all the locomotives
and steamboats, in Gods world could not add single
soul to Oregon in century. if the Lord should stop
the supply of' billing and cooing' for a season.
Without this fertlIizing passion, London would be-
come deserted Thebes, for virtuous celibacy
peoples country faster than either war, pesence,
or famine. While other passions concentrate man in
himself, love makes bin live in another. No one
loves who does not prefer somebody else to himself.
When we speak of love- we hope will con.
found it with debauche1y, for they are the very anti
podes of each other One begets fruit and the other
does not. Love springs from the heart, dehauchery
from our ungod,iness. One is the offspring of vr-
tue and good health, and the other of vice and de-
praved appetite for novelty and crime,
Love makes people moral-debauchery makes them
vile. One stocks the world, and the other State pris-
ons. The former weakens pride and softens ferocy-|
the latter is made up of egotism and brutality Love
spreads sunshine and happiness through the world
Debauchery darkness, disease. and lock hospitals
The lover becomes parent, husband, citizen. In
short true love the base and the selfish into
the generous and the good, while its counterfeit
verts manlness and honor into baseness and
rupon. For all of which, again say, three cheers
for the inventor of courting Whoever he may be,
he has done towards spreading morality through
the world than all the preachers that born.
