LOVE.

They sin who tell us love can die
With lite all other passions fly
All others are but vanity.
In heaven ambition cannot dwell,
Nor avarice in the vaults Of hell:
Earthly these passions as of earth--
They perish when they draw their breath.
But love is ndcStruetihlc
Its holy flame forever buructh--
From heaven il came, TO heaven returneth
-SoururY.

cried Joe, from the parlor; " it's ten

Go set the table," growled George.
1t was unique in its arrangements, that
table, as the gentlemen sat down to din

dish. with an ocean Of white china sur
rounding its shrunken proportions. The
potatoes. in little Jumps, unskinned, were
piled in "A fruit dish; the green mass
which Minnie had with infinite difficulty
tished from the big meat pot, was served
on red earthen plate, and the stalks Of
asparagus were in the salad The
tabe-cloth was awry, and napkins were
omitted altogether.

question.

into the pile of peas.

to eat some asparagus.

bread and butter, and pickles, George"
No, not pickles, preserves, said
Charley.
"susy locked both up cried Harry,
laughing l." She declared a woman put
them up, and that if we wanted them We
must prepare them for ourselves
Minnie produced the Strawberries, and
some sugar, and the gentlemen declared
they had dincl supcrbly.

Monday morning rose fair and clear.
Six o'clock stw Susy drive away from the
door in carriage, the trunk strapped be-
hind, the lady's pretty travelling-dress,
and the shawl of her cousin and cavalier
all bespeaking travel. Seven saw the
servant depart, to spend a month with her
mother in the country.
Nine O'Clock witnessed the meeting OF
the merry young bachelors.
" Now then" said George, after the
first greetings were over, " |, as the eld-
est host, will take the charge to-day
As Susy says, when are you going down
town -
" have nothing to do to-day, 50 I'll
stay to assist YOU said Minnie.
Thank you -
" What's for dinncr?' said Joe, trying
to look like the head Of respectable
family, and failing most deplorably iu the
attempt

room, and leaving the pile Of dust in the
entry. Excelsior !"
Three days experience convinced them
that bachelors cookery was slow starva-
ton. Steaks and coffee for breakfast
were followed by coffee and steaks for
dinner, and both for tea. Charley sug-
gested that they should have their meals
sent from a restaurant,
"AIl men cooks, so we stick to the
contract" was his final observation.
The motion was seconded, and carried
by unanimous vote.
BY this time every dish, plate, napkin,
pot, anl pan in the house was dirty, and

1t is impossible not to bo struck with
the extraordinary concurrence of fircs in
Southern cities of late. Here is a ten
days record. l. Fire in Chnrleston-the

2. Montgomery "lircd in six different pIo-

These Yisitntions are part of the train of
consequences, direct and indirect, which
that infatuated people set in motion when
