BOY.IOvE,

One OF the queerest and funniest things TO
think of in after life, is "boy-love." No SOON
ef does boy acquire ,oerable stature, than
he begins 10 imagine himself man, and 10
ape maLnish ways. He casts sidelong glau-
css at the tall girls he may meet, becomes a
regular attendant at church, or meeting car
ries cane, holds his head erect, and struts a
little in his walk. Presently, and how very
soon, he falls in love; yes, falls is the proper
word; because il best indicates his happy,
dilerious selfabasement. He lives now In a
fairy region, somewhat colaletalt 10 the world,
and yet, blended somehow extfcably with 1t.
He perfumes bis hair with fragrant oils, scat
tiers essences over bis handkerchief, and des-
perately shaves and aunoints for beard. He
quotes poe,y, III which Glove" and "dove''
and "hearl" and 'dart" peculiarly predomi-
nate; and, as he plunges deeper in the
delicious labyrinth, fancies himself filed with
the divine afflatus, and suddenly breaks into
scarlet rash--of rhyme. He feeds upon the
looks of his beloved; is raised 10 the seventh
heaven if she speaks pleasant word and is
BETRAYED into the most astonishing ecsiaoies
by a smile and is plunged iEio the gloomi-
est regions of m,santhropy BY frown.
He believes himself the most devoled lov-
er in the world. There never was such an
other. There never will be-. He is the one
great idola,er! He is the very type of mag
nanirniiy and selfabnegaiion. Wealth. he
despises The groveIling thought Poverty,
with the adorable beloved, he fapturously
aposirophizes as the first of all earthly bles-
sings and "lovein a cottage, with water and
a cfust," is his beau ideal paradise of dainty
delights. ,st....
He declares to himself, with The mos. SOL
emn emphasis, that he would go througe fire
and water, undertake pilgrimage to China
or Kamschatka; swim estofm-tossed oceans;
scale impossible mountains and face le.
gions of bayonets, but for one sweet smile
| from her dear lips. He doa,s upon flower
she has cast away He cherishes her glove
"a little worn in the fngers-nexthi his heart
He sighs like locomotive letting off eteam
He scrawls her dear name over quires oi
foolscap- -fiiting medium Of his insanity. He
scornfuily deprecates the attention Of other
boys, of his own age; cuts Peter Tibbets,
dead, because he said that the adorable An
aelna had cafroty hair; and passes Harvey
Bell contemptuonsly, for daring to compare
athat gawky Mary Jane" with bis incompar-
able Angelina. ~ .

prize their lives highly on account Of the
capacities they feel 20 be within them, are
capable of acts of great bravery, provided
an. aim oi high ambition is before them; but
they will not encounter the chance of de-

Soon afterthe allied armies had taken up
