Boy Love-.

One of the quecrest and funniest
things to think Of in after life is boy
love. No sooner does IA boy acquire
a tolerablc stature than he begins to
imagine himself man, and to ape
mannish ways. lie casts side glances
at the tall girls he may meet, becomes
a regular attendant at church or meet
ing; carries a cane, holds his head
erect, and struts a little in his walk
Presently, and how very soon, he falls
in love yes, }alls is proper word,
because it best indicates his happy,
deliriOus establishment. He lives now
in a fairy region, somewhat collateral
to the world and yet blended some
how incxtricably with it. He per-
fumes his hair with fragrant oils, scat
tiers essence over his handkerchief,
and desperately shavcs and annonts
for a beard. He quotes poetry in
which Glove" and "dove," ''heart" and
"dart" peculiarly predominant; and he
plungcs deeper in the delicious laby-
rinth, fancies himself filled with the
divine alllatus, and suddenly breaks
into a scarlet rash--of rhyme. He
feeds upon the looks of his beloved;
is betrayed into the most astounding
ecstacies by smile :; and is plunged
into the gloomicst regions of misan-
thropy by frown. He believes him
self the most devoted lover in the
world. There never was such another.
There never will be. He is the one
great idolater lie is the very type
Of magnanimity and selt-abnegation.
Wealth he dcspiscs the grovcllng
thought. Poverty, with his adorable
beloved, he rapturously apostrophizes
as the first of all earthly blessings !;
and "lovc in cottage, with water
and crust" is his beau ideal paradise
of dainty delights. He declares to
himself, with the most solemn cmpha-
sis, that he would go through fire and
water; undertake pilgrimage to
China or Kamschatka; swim storm
tossed oceans; scale impossible noun
tains, and face legions of bayonets. for
but one sweet smile from her dear lips.
He doats upon a flower she has cast
away. lie cherishes her glovc--a
little worn in the fingers--next. his
heart. lie signs like locomotive let
ting of stcam--he scrawls her mans
over quires of loolscap--a fitting me-
dunn for his insanity. He scornfully
dcpreciates the attention of other boys
of his own age; cuts Peter Tibbets
dead, because he said the adorable
Angelina had carroty hair; and passes
Harry Bcllcontemptuously for daring
to compare that gawky Mary Jane
with his Incompatible Angelina
Happy happy! foolish boy love! with
its joys, and its fears: its sorrows, its
jealousies, and its delights; its rapturcs
and its fortunes it. ccstatic fervors
and terrible hearth Il 'nings; its solemn
righteousness, and its intensely prosaic
termination.

HINTS TO THE GIRLS.

Did you never see lady
Look into strangers face,
In an omnibus or a rail car,
As if saying, "Sir, your place"
Did you ever sec lady
Walk up to the church pew door,
Lace and ribbons all demanding,
"Yield your pew" and nothing more?
Did you never see lady
Flirt into an old mans chair,
And unhecding age or honor,
Let him stand-no matter where ?
Ncversoc tho stagc,coach empticd
For some fdget in her pride,
And the weary men of business
Tumbled out to ride inside?
Never 60 10 hear a lecture,
Whom some fashionable dear
Would come in and make hustle,
When you most desired 10 hearl*
Routing half the congregation,
And disturbing all the rest,
As if she was all creation,
Being lashionabIy dressed ?
Now. dear girls, if you're 30 thank less,
SO exacting and so free.
Time will come when gents will answer,
"Ma'a am, this seat belongs to me-"
Never, girls, disturb lecture,
Church or hall, whcre'er you CO.
Still respect the rights Of others,
This is "Woman's rights" you know?
Never ask a man abruptly
To resign his chosen place
Il tits offered, thank him kindly,
With smile upon your face.
If the way is long and weary,
And he cannot find another.
Bid him share the comfort with you,
AS you'd share it with brother.
Thus may you receive forever,
Given with spirit free,
True respect, and love and kindness,
Better far than gallantry.
sour devil, who is responsible for
the above selection, says he has quite
