WHAT is LOVE!

4 thousand ages have asked this qnes>
A thousand poets have tasked imagina.
ton to answer it. Uncounted thousands
Of mortaIs have declared it unanswerabIe
Philosophers have anaIyzed Love
Mystics have mystified it. Materialists
have materiaIized it. Spiritualists have
spiritualizedit. Sensualis:s have ignored
it. Sioics have avoidedit it. The Wise have
sought for it. The Happy have found it
For my part, have believed in it.
What is Love?
TO become one flesh. says the Scrip.
ture. 10 become one spirit, says the Po
ct. 1t is union, says Matteroof fact. Ii
is harmony, says Love-ottrulh 1t is
God. says |, as others have said before
me.
God is Love. But what is God?
God is the ideal of perfection, the most
intimate Inward self, the utmost possibil
ity we can conceive-nay, the cUncep.
ton of the inconceiVable.
In many ways we imagine God, or the
Ideal, as Infinite Force, as Infinite Space,
lime. Knowledge and Happiness
In one form only we knOw--lhat is
Love gives form. substance, an ex,
ternal reality to our inward omnipitence
To know God, We must be God: Love
makes US gods. ~.
1t is this Infinite God, or Love, which
animates every individual living atom o
the inhnlte living Cosmos, which is
the cause Of attraction, of Conference, ol
motion, and Of all things.
Let US consider the phenomena OF
Love.
A man and woman meet. They are
beautiful 10 one another.
What does that mean?
1t means that each recognizes in the
other its own highest self. The sleeping
god awakens. The invisible dream be
comes visible. The Infinite is not com.
pretended, butt is felt
Love is concentrated force. 1t is uni,
versal enjoyment. Ii is the concentration
of every faculty upon one point. 1t i,
life in the most intense insigniicance
Love is absolute attraction. Each is
to the other perfect body and soul
Each desires to possess and be possessed
by the other. bodily and mentally. with.
out reserve. Love is faith, law, principle
and paradise to the lovers.
No man ever loved who hesitated to
sacrifice every earthly consideration to
his love. No woman ever loved Who re.
fused to give herself to The lover at every
possible sacrifice. Love Is desire with.
Cooper's Clarksburg register. [volume] (Clarksburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1851-1861, 1855-02-28

out limit. The whole universe beyond
grows pale before its glory. Love is
necessarily irresistible. II is The su-
preme force of nature. Self-denial in love
is mere proof that love did not exist.
What understand by.love is the passion
Of passions, as little TO be tempered by
moral zing, or modified by reason. as the
flash UfheaYeu's lightning,
To mark the terrible majesty of love
utter love-more clear, will lay down
this proposition:
That, were two lovers Of the supreme
order separated by a thousand possible
crimes, they would OF necessity commit
them, rather than endure separation.
Nay, assert that, were the lives of
all the rest of mankind between their
love and its realization, they would u0-
questionabIy could they do it by an
act of will, depopulate the globe in order
to possess one another.
go farther : maintain that supreme
passion juslifes all possible enormities OF
crime conceivable by the mind ; Tor
hold it better that whole universe Of
living beings should perish, than that
one. consequently two, perfect lovers
should fail TO enjoy the perfection of de-
light.
So great would be that delight, that it
would immeasurably counterbalance all
the pleasures Of the rest of The universe !
Is it an exaggeration No. it is an ab-
straction. 1t is a mere formula OF an impos-
Sible infinite and unattainabe perfection.
1t is evident that Love is in proportion
to organization.
Organization is the precise outward
symbol and expression Of spiritual force.
Let neither man nor woman with dwarf
ed, deformed. or homely bodies dare to
plead moral or intellectual superiority in
extenuation.
Nature writes with the pen of infallible
truth. The soul is the bndy's mould ;
the body is the image of the soul.
hate an ugly man or woman rs do
the devil. They are the devils in truth.
Yet what is hidcous to Inc may be
beautiful TO others.
But what is true beauty?
1t is the outward mantle of a great, a
noble. and generous soul.
The higher the Judge the higher the
standard. Wo to those who love above
them wo to those who love below them !
The essence Of true love is equality !!
Alas alas how little love there has ev-
er been upon this earth Is it not better
to die young than outlive hope ? Let US
sleep! WM. NORTH.

81 was going to say that it did not end
there. The lady gave him her card with
the money, and he slipped them both in>
to his pocket together, After resolving
firmly that he would go to work and earn
an honest living, the next difficulty. that
rose in his way was the want OF decent
suit Of clothes, for he had learned enough
of the world to know that a man is respec-
ted according to the cut of his coat. Re-
membering the lady's kind offer to assist
him again, he made bold to search out
her place of residence, and state his case
to her in full. To make the story short,
the result was, that he obtained a good
suit of clothes, which were the means of
securing him situation in store, where
he was entrusted with the care of great
dea! Of money" .soe
''Aud he did not pocket any?" said the
old man, sarcaslically.
"No, sir. He would have scorned the
idea of STOPPING so low. He had learned
to respect himself BY being respected

The old man started from his seat.
"Jam'es Dolby, did you say?'
"That was his name, SIR"
"And where from?''

me, and have never heard from him. l

he? Tell me what became of him?"
calculated the old man, in a tremor Of
excitement.
In his earnestness he had taken off his
broad-brimmed hat and spectacles, expo
sing peculiarly marked head. which to
Mr.. Dolby bore traces Of remembrance
Looking earnestly in the old mans face.
-'' Your name, SIR! said he. .

WHAT FAM1rX GOVERNMENT IS.

II is not TO watch children with a sus
pcous eye; to GrOwn ut their merry out,
bursts Of innocent hIarity; to suppress
their joyous laughter, and to mould them
into little models of octOgenarinn gravity.
And when they have been in fault it is not
to punish them simplyOn sccoInt Of the
personal injury thatyou may have chan,
ced to suffer in consequence OF their fault; ;
while disobedience: unattended by incon.
venience TO yourself, passes without rebuke
Nor is it TO OVerwhelm the little culpriL
with a food Of angry words; to stun him
with deHfening noise; to call him by hard
numcs, which do not express his misdeeds;
to load him with epithets which would be
extravaganc" if applied to fault Of ten
fold enOrmity; or, TO declare with passion
ate vehemence, that he is the worst child
in the world, aud destined TO the gallows.
But it is 10 watch anxiOuSly for the FIRST
rising Of sin. and TO reprcss ii; 10 counter.
act the earliest workings Of Sc tiShness; TO
suppress the beginning Of rebellion against
rlyhtful authority; 10 teach an implicit
and unqueStiOning and cheerful obedience
to the will Of the parent, rs the best prep
aratiOn for future allegiance to the &C
quirements Of the civil magistrate, and 10
the laws Of the great Ruler and Father in
Heaven.
1t is TO punish fault because it is n
fault; because it is sinful and contrary to
the commands Of God, without reference
to whether it may or may not have been
productive Of immediate injury to the pa
rent or 10 others.
1t is to reprove with calmness and COM
Posure, and not with angry irritation; 10
few words fitly chosen. and not with tor.
rent of abuse; TO punish as often as you
threaten, and threaten only when you in
tend md can remember them; to say what
you mean, and infsIIibly to do what you
say.
1t is to govern your family as in the
sight Of Him who gave you your authori-
ty, who will reward your strict fidelity
with such blessings as he bestowed on
Abraham. or punish your criminal neglect
wi h curses as he visited on Eli.-Reli-
gious Herald.
