EARLY LovEs.-Do we forget our childish
love? think not. The objects change, of
course, but the feeling when it has been true
and unse!fsh, keeps its character still, and is
always pleasant to remember. 1t was very
silly, no doubt, but l question if now could
love anybody in a fonder, humber, faithfuler
way than adored that great MERRY, good ma

sympathy and affection. Do families ever live
in open-hearted union, feeling that blood is
blood, closer than acquaintance, friendship or
any tic in the world, except marriage? That
is, it ought to be. Perhaps it may SO happen
once in century, as true love does, or there
would not be so much TOmanCing about both
