Love is experienced by young girls for
their foreign teachers. 90 '''
A very ugly and very sedate old exile
will set twenty young misses in neigh
borhood crazy after course Of ten lessons
in music, Italian. or the proper pronuncia-
ten of the termination 'oiHi' (Fr.)
~ Compassion, no doubt is at the bottom
Of this infatuation, but it ends in down
right solid love. .s,s..
Nothing will cure it--not even the fact
that the exile wears straps under his in
stepess feet, and uses a brown silk pock-
ct handkerchief. tsestl 1stH

But the purest all Loves is that Of the
boy for his gentle womanly teacher
Let a cross pedagogue be displaced by a
stern young woman who can thrash the
boys all around one minute and laugh
with them the next. and the epoch marks
a eourso of genuine enthusiasm in the
educational sphere.

Next TO this-always seek TO know n
family the father of which loves to study
his children's dispositions.
But never to fail TO smile when you see
A man who prefers to take his blooming
daughter to the theatre, or ball, instead

That man made a mistake when he
married n woman who had reasonable
chance Of n living ten years.

The most solemn Of all Affections is that
which the generations passing away feel
for those to como.
Ii is singular thing that Love follows
the descending aud never tho ascending.

hear tho names Of my great'grapd-parents
mentioned. but could they rise from their
graves they would clasp me in their arms
aud kiss me.
In like manner | feel that | could love
surprisingly the children of my ehildren's
children!-yet unborn, aud that / even
seen.
This Of course Is in tho nature which
impels us to love those to whom We have
not so difficult an Office to perform. To
bear with children whom we are to care
for, suffer for-die for-rcquires the supc
rior force!
In its prcttiest application this love may
be instanced in the Grandmother's for the
boy child Of her son or daughter
Let her neglect her own children she
will wrap up all her love in theirs.
Indulgence can so no further than she
grants IL.

Bachelors at forty feel the last tbroes
Of love that Heaven permits them, for girls
of seventeen.
After years OF. wine, cigars, fast life,
late breakfasts and later suppers, and in.
Vulnerable escapades, the poor wretches
