Shelley, the lofty, pure minded idealist, in
plain prose, thus speaks of Love:
"What is love /? Ask him who lives, what is life
Ask him who adores, what's God? Thou demandest
what is love 1t is that powerful attraction toward
all we conceive, or fear, or hope, beyond ourselves
when we find within our own thoughts the chasm
of an insufficient void and seek to awaken in all
things that are, q community with what we expo.
rienee within ourselves. If we reasonw we would be
understood; () if we imagine, We would that the
airy children of our brain we're born anew within
another's; If we feel, we would that another's
nerves should vibrate to our own that the beams
of their eyes should kindle at once and melt into
our own that lips Of notionless icesshould not re-
ply to lips quivering ard burning with the hearts
best blood this is love-"
We open the pages Of the immortal Shak-
speare, and there fnds
IF music be the food of love, play on
Give me excess of it that surfeiting,
The appetite may scken, and so die.
That strain again! 1T had a dying fall:
Oh it came Ger my ear like the sweet south,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor."
L. E. Landon, speaking of the pride OF
love says:
IT'S strange with how much power and pride
The softness is Of love allied:
How much Of power to force the breast
To be in outward show at rest.
How much of pride that never eye
May look upon its agony!
Oh! little will the lip reveal
eff all the burning heart can feel.
Oh! why should woman ever love
Trusting to one sole star above
And fling her little chance away
Of sunshine for its doubtful ray 2"
We must confess that we arostupid enoug
as to be hardly able to understand the las
four lines of the above, although we scarcel
hold with the Irishman who tried to prov
that love was s-pontanGcious. There is n
rhetoric by which we can reason o~urselve
into love, and there is no logic by which W
can reason ourselves out of it; we love W
a scarcely know why" we cannot choose bI
love- Again, we have our dislike, we scare
ly know how. Love obeys not the will
: is too potent we become slaves to it's spe
willingly, though bitterness and sorrow
the fruit. Brown, in the Murderess, says
Loves birth is not of earth, it comes from heaYe
is a foreigner
To all the mercenary customs of the world.
Love lives in smiles or tears,
And is a thing that fashion ne'er can shape,
Gold buy, nor titled rank monopolize.
Within the peasants breast it burns as pure
As in the titled monarch's."
We will here close tie case we could a

Satan in Council.o

We call attention to the article on our first
page bearing this caption. It appeared in
our columns some years since, but we see it
has been published in the Richmond (Va.)
Dispatch recently, as original. The literary
pilferer has copied it, word for word, and
sent it forth to earn for himself a fame that
belongs to another. 1t is well worthy repub-
l~ication. For nervousness and force of style,
for thrilling, impressive language, as we'll as
for truthful forcefulness, we nave never seen
it excelled. Let every one read it, and then
answer if the horrible power which the Fiend
ALCOHOL has claimed for himself is not fear
fully, startlingly true.

A CHEAP BARoMETER-A correspondent
ofthe Country Gentlemsh' urges that hence
forth farmers, instead of Watching the locusts
and crlckets for signs # weather, devote
their meteorological DISSERTATIONS exclusive
~ to their wives camphofbottles. He says:
For some years l have been in the habit
Of watching the conditionYf the gum in my
wlte's cauphor bottle, whhh stands in our
bed room, and when not disturbed makes a
capital weather glass. It answers nay purpose
as well as a barometer that would cost me
from S25 to $50. When there is to be a
change of weather from fair to windy or wet,
the thin flakes of gum will rise up, and some
times when there was to be a great storm l
have seen them at the top. When they set
tie down at the bottom then we are sure of
grand weather.

"Here in our souls we treasure up the wealth

LOVE.

Glove rules the Court, tho Camp, the Grove,
And men below, and saints above."-ScOTF
Love is a universal passion, or sympathy OF
soul, which binds us nystically to each 9TH
err. Since, yea, and before the days of Ho-
mer, it has been a theme for every poets pen,
and widely have they differed in describing
its effects and dominion over us. Lord By
ron speaks Of its fatality in the following
beautiful lines:
ooh, Love! what is it in this world Of ours,
Which makes it fatal to be loved All why,
With cypress branches hast thou wreathed thy
bowers,
And made thy best interpreter a sigh2
As those who doat on odors. pluck the flowers,
And place them on their breast-but place to die,
Thus the frail beings we would fondly cherish,
Are laid within our bosoms but to perish"
This is certainly melancholy enough, and
must have been penned by the noble poet in
one of his : SOULS dark moments we. pre-
sumo. he. had himself in his eye when he
wrote as follows in the Giour:'
"The cola in cline are cold in blood,
Their love can scarce deseryethe name
But mine was like the lava's food,
That boils in Etna's breath of fame"
What must have been his sad condition
with such boiling love? we are rather cold
blooded, and therefore cannot venture the
slightest remark. We turn to Samuel Dan
iel, an old English poet, who in an elemosy-
nary strain speaks of Love as a disease
Glove is a sickness full of woes,
All remedies refusing ~
A plant that with most cutting grows;
Host barren with best using:
Why so?
More we enjoy it, more it dies
If not enjoyed, it signing cries
Hey no!
Love is a torrent of the mind,
A tempest everlasting;
And Love hath made it of a kind
Not we'll, norfull, nor fasting:
Why so?
More we enjoy it more it dies
If not enjoyed, it signing cries
Hey ho?"
We say hey ho' to the above, and turn t
the pages of a living poetwho thus speak
of the gro0DM of Love:
Glove is a thing of frail and delicate groutA
Soon checked, soon fOstered feeble ana yet stron
1t will endure much, suffer long, and bear
What would weigh down an angels wing to cart
And when it dies--
1t leaves behind reproaches and regrets,
+ And bitterness within affections well,
. For which there is no healing"
Alas that such groDtA, feeble and y
6 strong should, when it dies, leave such i
durable reproaches, regrets and bitternesse
