Love.-In q recent volume ofpoems
Ernest Jones thus defines the master pass
ion of the human soul;
"Wiat is love? 1t is the striving
Oftwo spirits 10 be one;
Sweetness lingering after sweetness
Want that tiiirsteth for completeness;
Planets twain dccreed TO be
Each others dear necessity,
Each from each its light deriving
Till they melt into sun.

The best way TO endure Mat

q
rimony.-I suppose there Is modi-
cum of romance il most natures, and if
it ever gathers about any event, it is
that Of marriage. Most people marry
their ideals. There is more or less ficti-
tious and faiacious glory resting upon
the head of every bride, which the incho-
ate husband believes in. Most men and
women manufacture perfection in their
mates by u happy process of their mag
nations, and then marry them. This,
of course, wears away. BY tho time the
husband has seen his wife eat heartily Of
pork and beans, and with her hair frizzl-
ed, and her oldest dress on, full of tho~en-
terprise of overhauling things, he sees
that she belongs to the same race as him
self. And she, when her husband gets up
cross in the morning, and undertakes to
shave b mself with cold water and dull
razor, bile his suspenders danglo at his
heels, begins to see that man is very pro-
sale animal. In other words, there is
such thing as honeymoon, oflongor or
shorter duration; and while the moon
shine lasts the radiance of the seventh
heaven cannot compare with it. 1t is
very delicious little delirium,-a febrile
mental disease, which like measles, never
returns.
When the honeymoon passes away,
setting behind dull mountains, or dipping
silently into the stormy sea of life, the try
ing hour of marriage life has come. Be-
tween the parties there are no more illu-
sions. The feyePish desire of possession
is gone--yanished into gratification-and
all excitement has receded. Then begins,
or should begin, the business of adaptation.
If they find that they do not love one an
other, as they thought they did, they
should double their assiduous attentions
to each other, and be jealous of every
thing which tends in the slightest degree
to separate them. Life is too precious to
be thrown away in secret regrets or open
differences. And let me say to every one
to whom the romance of life has fed and
whe are discontinued in the slightest de-
gree with their condition and relations,
begin this work of reconciliation before
you are day Older.
Renew the attentions of earlier days.
Draw your hearts close together. Talk
the thing all over. Acknowledge your
faults to one another, and detegmino that
henceforth you will be all in all to one an
other; aud my word for it, you'll find in
your relation the sweetest Joy earth has
for you. There is no other way for you
to do. If you are happy at home you
must be happy abroad; the man or wo-
man who has settled down upon the con-
7iction that no or she is attached for life
to an uncongeniel yoke-fellow, and that
there is no way of escape, has lost life +;
there is no effort too costly to make which
can restore to its setting upon the bosom
/! the missing pearl Timothy 7Tteou5.

A Coon APPEARANcE.-The best
possible style of dress and manners, Is
that which pleases without attracting any
particular attention. The highest com
pliment you car pay the dress of a lady
or gentleman is, not to remember what it
that they were well and ap-
dressed. Even elegance be-
comes offensive the moment it is in excess.

remarkable size matter of wonderm snt,

SHADOWS ON THE WALL.

Beneath the hearth there Is an hour Of dreaming,
A calm and pensive solitude of soul,
When life and death have each another seeming,
And thoughts are with us owning no control.
These are the spirits, memory's revealing
In deep s%olcmnity they rise and fall,
Shrouding the living present, aud concealing.
The world around us-shadows on the wall.
Hopes, ike the loaves and blossoms, rudely shaken
BY cruel winds of winter, from the tree
OF our existence; phantoins that awaken
Wild passing CLEANS Of JOYS young ecstacy;
And love. once kind aud tcnderly outpouring
Her wine into or souls, we may recall,
And find them dear and ever hcavcnwayd soaring,
Though only now rs shadows on the wall.
Old %clasping hands. old friendships and affections
Once bodied forms beside us on the earth,
Come back to haunt us, ghOstlv rccollections
With mystic converse by the silent hearth,
Yet these are kindly spirits, and retiring
Draw their long shadows slowly from the wall,
And visit us in peace and gcntleness. inspiring
A hope that brings the sunshine after all.

| called upon an afflicted family the past
week, where the light was put out Of the dwell
ling. The wife and mother of four little chill
dren. had been borne to Greenwood. While
'few and short were the words we said," as we
mingled our tears with the sorrowing ones, lit
tie Susy, two years old, climbed into our lap,
and laughingly told how her mamma left her
bedroom last week and lay down in the parlor
with her lap full of flowers, and how the next
day SO many people came in carriages to see
her and how mamma rode away in the pretti-
est cdr1idge; but she had not come back vet
The next day | called again and Susy was
now a mourner. She could not persuade the
nurse to Ego with her and bring mamma home -
Poor child Her mother was already "Home.'

was visiting with an aunt in New Jersey, who
wished to have her little niece call the place her
home. ayes, aun'y," said she, an call this

Home is in New York" Isn't this decidedly a
new version of the common phrase?
Our little Ida got offa good joke on her moth
err the other day. She wanted to go to the
party in the evening, but a ''press of business
prevented my attending her, which led her to
throw herself upon the sofa in rather a diSdp-
pointed mood. In child-like simplicity the lit
tie one climbed upon its mothers Ian, put its
arms around her neck, and said: What's the
matter, mamma? Are you sick" 'No," said
the mother. care you hurted p "No," Them
said the child, you're 'punLy.' She knew
what "spunky" meant!
Let me tell you an adventure of a little seven
year-old friend of mine, Ike H, who is
sufficiently mischievous to claim a cousinShip,
at least, with Ike Darlington. Ike strayed away
to the 'raging canal one day last week, and
of course, fell in. A benevolent boatman fshed
him out. Ike dared not to go home so he
