loves perennial spring.
Our FIRST love il unlike all Other love it lis
ho!ier and more di,in.oros,cd. Then the
heart is uncontaminatcd with the influences
Of those scenes which steal upon Us in after
life TO harden us, and we drink because i. is
natural drink because it is 30 sweet and
the effect is at once impressive and lasting.
The influence which such love excrts, if
its secret workings are rightly regarded,
must often be beneficial in its results. Where
that holy affection really and truly exists,
there can be but little room for any of those
storms of fury which sometimes rise up to
take possession Of tn, soul. 1t drives away
the malignan. passions, aud makes the ha
man breast, through its benign influence, a
filter place for q holy and pure spirit to dwell
in.
Our first lova l, is subject upon which
we love to ponder, although its many VOICES
may make US sad they are memories we
would not exchange for anything on earth,
They serve as swce, balm when the object
which produced them il no longer with US
to give US consolation.
