Dictionary Of love.

ApsEHes.-Abscnce is considered tb.s
great bane and torment of lovers. Every
lover writes to his beloved that, when ab
sent from her, the time lags on leade1
wings; minutes are tortured into hours,
hours into days, days into weeks, weeks in
| to months months into years, and years in
to interminable ages. Existence has be.
come burden, and he is kept alive only
by the sweet hope Of meeting the dear OBJ
jeot again.
ATTACK "A brisk attack is a fayorite
phrase of the experienced at the business
of love making. They have probably taken
hint from the play, '"Faint Heart never
won Fair Lady" Machiavel gives. the
lover cue, in bis lessonto politicians: "It
is BETTER" says he, "to sin through toe
much vivacity than too much timidity.-
Fortune is woman, and requires brisk
attack. She grants victory oftsner to rash.
impetnous characters than to the cold and
circumspeet."
CoNsTHNcY.-There is scarcely virtue
in the whole code OF love which is moro
admirable than constsncy and conjdgal de.
votion. Without this, all the other charms,
ever. female loveiiness, seem worthless
Whatever beauty she may possess, even
though shc may have tie tinge Of Hebe on
her cheeks, and the grace of an Ariel in
her ateps, will 60 for 'nought, if she is des.
titate Of thia chief excellence Of lovely wo'
mep.
CooUErTE.-A coquette has been de-
fined woman who wants to engage the
men without engaging herself. Sac is q
composition of levity aud vanity, whose
chief aim is ia be thought agreeable, hand
some, and aniable, whether she really 80
or not A witty author compared such a
woman to 6re.eater, Who makes show Of
handling, and even chewing live Goals, with
cut receiving any danger from the fro
She is always plaHieg the part Of love;
without realizing It's passion. 4! =.
HANDs.-The hands are the tongues of
tinid lo7ara. Macy bastfal swain who
could never find courage 10 open his mouth,
has, By gentle pressure OF the hand, be-
trayed tho secrets Of bis heart to the be-
loved object. When tie hands of two'such
lovers arc locked together, their hearts start
into their fingers epds, and every inger is
transformed into tongue, which disccurses
most eloquently of the ,Dliss which is burn
ing within. . e.
Love AT FIRST sIaHT.-All the poets
aho have written on love, have admitted a
fact which is apt to be disputed BY prosaio
natures-I mean tho possibility of instantly
falling il love at the first sight of charm
ing woman. If the poets are good author
ity, man mag fell in love as suddenly as
he may lose bis balance and fall from a
precipioo, or from the steerle Of a meeting
house. -
No.-For a little word, this is tremen.
dous one in love. When it is really neg
ative, it is funeral bell ruug with one
ruthless blow over the departure of the last
hope in lovers breast. But no often
means yes in love. A refusal may so De
spoken as to amount to a promise. 4 chas-
,tisement may be so administered as to be
really oaress.

informed the good lady that he was an Im'

I tried various "rermin poisons," traps,

r9 We copy from the Biblical Recorder
the following account of an. affecting inter
view between mother and her son who
was condemned to be shot for desertiop, q
crime which he had been led to commit BY
that mother. The account is from. the
Rev. R. e.. Marsh, Of Granville county,
who witnessed the interview /:
81 witnessed very affecting scene the
other day. It,was in prison where some
forty or more prisoners were confined, some
half dozen under sentence Of death for de.
sertion. After services, two women entered
under the influence Of strong emotion. One
of them was,I learned; the mother of q
young soldier under sentence Of death for
deserving his comrades in arms. In an
evil hour she had persuaded her son to Cd
home, giving him many promises Of pro:
tectionl he listened to her tempting ad-
vice, deserted, and threw himself under
her motherly protection. Sometime there
after he MAS captured, brought before q
.court-martials and condemned to be shot
In this sad condition it was her painful
duty to visit, and take leave of q son who
attributed bis fate to her evil counsel. .
81 wish the many mothers and wives who
are giving like counsel could have witnessed
this scene. It would have impressed their
hearts. With the deplorable result Of being
instrumental in shedning the blood and
blasting the memory Of those who would
otherwise have remained true and faithful
soldiefs." -.

night and day for the good Of bis country
He was often found in prayer to the God

found in prayer, we then could assure our
selves of success in our struggle for South

In the summer Of 177s, Washington, ex'
ploring alone, one day, the position Of the
British forces on the banks of the Hudson,
ventured too far from his camp, and was
compelled, by a sudden storm and the ia
tigue Of his horse, to seek shelter in the
cottage of pious American peasant, who,
greatly struck with the manner and Ian
guago Of his guest, listened at the door Of
his chamber, and overheard the following
prayer from the Father Of his Country
"And now, Almighty Father, if it is Thy
holy will that we shall obtain name and
place among the nations Of the earth, grant
that we may be enabled to show our graft,
