LovE-lTs TREATHENT.--Strangc it is
that the relation between the seXeS-thy
passion of love, IN short should NOT b,
taken into deeper consideration by our
teachers and legislators. People e,ura.e
and legislate as if there were no such th,ng
in tAe world but ask the priest, ask the
physician, let them reveal the amount OF
moral and physical results from this one
cause. Must lore be ever treated with pro.
fnencss, IS : mere Illusion? Or with
coarseness, as a ,nero impulse? Or with
fear. Is \ mere disease? Or with shame,
as mere weakness? Or with lcvity, as
mere accident? Whereas, it is great
mystery and a great necessity, lying at tho
foundation Of human existence, morality
and happiness -irrstercus, universal, ina-
vitable as death. Why. then, should love
oe treated less seriously than death? II
is serious thing! Death must come, aud
love must come: but the state in which
they find us-whether blinded, aston>hei,
frightened and ignorant, or, liks reasonable
creatures, guarded, prepared and fit to
manage our own feeing-this depends on
ourselves; and for want of selfmanagc.
ment and self knowledge, look 4; the evils

ble marriages, repininC, disease, or vicious
celibacy, irretrevabie infamy. cureless in-
sanity, the death that comes early, and
the love that comes late, reversing the
primal laws % our nature.

A War. Democrat.

A War Democrat.
A lively debate sprang up in the Assem-.
bly, Of the Wisconsin Legislature on Thurs.
day last, upon the resolution to send dele.
gates from Wisconsin to . peace conven-
ton at Nashville, on which occasion Mr..
Sharpstein, for many years editor Of the
Milwaukee Nf,cs, and one Of the most in.
fluential Democrats in Wisconsin, is re.
ported to have said:
'Thc war was brough. on by secession.
lists, who struck the first blow, and who
were responsible for the conflict. With his
views Of secession, he regards the proposal
for an armistice or peace negotiation with
the rebels as put forth in the face of their
determination to be independent, and show
ing no desire for peace, as casting pearls
before swine. When the rebels asked for
terms it would be time enough to consider
them. The Government could not protfer
anything but unconditional submission
without disgrace.
"Mr. Sharpstein gave some account of
his experience in the Charleston Conven-
ton, when the Northern delegates refused,
| on point Of honor, to yield to the demand
for abandoning Senator Douglas. While
he was opposed to the emancipation ard
! contiscation measures, and thought their
repeal would bring peace and reunion down
| to the borders of the cotton states, yet he
was for carrying on the war. He would
oppose leaving New England out. He
would never consent to any line of separa.
| ton, come what might. Let war last one
year or ten, he would accedc to no propo.
sal for dissolution Of the Union. Rather
than it should be broken up, true Demo.

there aeas man or a cent left."
The resolutions were very properly re-.
jccted, by 25 ayes, to G5 noes

9T Laugh and grow fat" is an old
adage; and Sterne tells Us that every time
a man laughs he adds something to his
life. An eccentric philosopher Of the last
century used to say that he liked not only
to laugh himself, but to see laughter, and
to hear laughter. Laughter is good for the
health; is a provocative to the appetite,
and q friend to digestion. DR.. Sydenham
said the arrival Of merry andrew in town
was more beneficial to the health of the
inhabitants than twenty horses loaded with

BY MRS. MARY ". ALEXANDER.
I left my early home
Where snow-clad mountains stand,
To battle in the strife that rsnds
My own beloved land -
My father, trembling with ...
The weight si threescors years;
My mother, with breaking heart
Ny sister, In her tears;
And one, . maiden fair,
hoped to call my own,
When from the ringing tramp OF war
Sweet peace eur steps had won.
What dreams my boyish heart ..
In secret long had nursed
How in my feverish tho ughts had stirred
Ambitions raging thirst. a. ..
I'd hoped my life to yield .'
Upon her altsrs gray,
Or on my country's battle Geld
To glory light the way.
I'd dreamed my breas. to bare
To charge and sabre shock
To meet the foeman's fiery hail
Firm as the rooted rock.
But, Oh where clarion cries
Call men to deaths alarms,
And thousands sleep unburried
Amid the clash OF arms,
Shall my life-blood give!
No! l am dying now, ....
No fame from CORY battles won--
No laurels on my brow.
Beyond the camp fires glow
Unnoticed and unknown,
My broken heart with griof shall lay
Its weary burden down
That must tamely die,
Before one feeble blow,
Against tho traitorous hands that sought
TO lay my country low. .-
