Here is a Sermon, Of the patent
lind, which we heard ..once upon a
tine, and reproduce from our phono-
4lapic notes. The subject is Love:
~ new commandment give unto you, chat
Fe love one another.
Nv brethering, Love is an ancient
theme, and began III the Garden of
eden. but whether the love affairs ala OF
Mr.. and Mrs Adam were carried on
IA the same way as love is now in our
generation, we are not prepared to decide
Indeed we do nor read of Mr.. Adam be
me able to accoutre himself in The cos
fume Of q Spanish cavalier, nor do we
believe that guitars were known in those
days. Neither also does history inform
rs that the dwelling Of Mrs. Adam had
I balcony, where she could appear to
Ter lover Of 4 moonlight night still,
NY hrethering, they followed the gen
sral order, namely: y new command
saent give unto You. that We love one
mother.
Indeed, history informs lis that in all
periods of the world woman has held
such sway over mankind that she has
Fought kings, philosophers, aud even
5he seyerest anchorites. to her feet, and
who have been content to leave their
thrones, their affairs and their caves, to
become her subjects. This may be said
TO be love in general way, but we
wish to particularize and see if we can
make out what individual love in reali-
ty is-and first, my brethering, all this
may appear an irreconcilable mystery
to us. Still, love is universal flame
pervading the whole of our mundane
system, and we might as well think of
avoiding the sensation caused by a look
from a pair of dark eyes with long lash
es, as to avoid our manifest destiny
9ese9es we should be deserving of many
lssha- were We sosteical as to withstand
a t.s;,21e that plainly say3--s'A new coln-
@aaament give unto you, that ye love
me another
Under what a variety Of phases has
love been set forth, while every nation
appears to have peculiarities in making
love, adapted to the constitution Of it's
people and it's cline. When we think
OF the Lapland lady in her snow hut,
with small hole sufficient to allow her
TO crawl in and out, and there commence
feast ON seal flesh or whale blubber,
we are almost inclined to blubber our
selves at the.notion that love could dwell
IN Lapland! The sslanguage of the
eyes has been set forth as one of Loves
best mediums.
heres a language that's mute, there's 81
lence can speak,
There's a something cannot be tod
here are words that can only be read on the
cheek,
And thoughts but the eyes can unfold.
But when we view some savage tribes !
whose eyes, like the Chinese, are clip
