Love.
by EyANGEI.tNE.

How many persons die who know
but little of love except through their
intellectual powers Love is the
crowning grace Of humanity, and the
golden link which binds one fond
heart to another. When love pre-
sides, the restless fea-s of many
slecplcss nights are forgotten in a
"pcacc which the world can neither
give no: take away" Coleridgc
describes love as an absorption Of telf
in an idea dtarer than self. When
one is disappointed in love, and if tho
disappointment and pain is 30 great
he can shift his own abode ut will,
and taking as it were tho wings Of the
morning and "ny to the uttermost
parts OF the earth and be at rest"
When woman loves tondcrly and
loses the object of her affections, she
never participates in the pleasures of
the world, and her sl,imbGrs arc bro.
ken by melancholy dreams, and econ
he sinks into an untimely grave, mono
knowing the cause which has blighted
her happiness but this should never
be the case, "for it Is better to have
loved and lost than never to have
loved at ALL" Woman was mado to
be loved, and it is nothing moro than
natural that she should expect to be
. in every instance, for she was given
to q man as an be- lpmate, and it is his
duty to protect and provide for her. a
true woman can never love manwhUm
She knows to be idle and lover Of
intoxicating drinks. "Wo should
never marry whom We cannot love,
and, never love whom we cannot hoh-
Or" if We do all our future happiness
will be blasted, and when "poverty
comes in at the door love will fly out
the Window" When tho young meet
together all formality must be thrown
aside, and friendship is kindled into
warmer feeling, and soon love is
generated for under whatever cir
cumstanccs human nature is placed,
it will be human nature still. "Na.
tural love only is blind spiritual
love dwc'ls with wisdom,' and it is
here where love exists, for they only
love truly who love wisely.
Glove is passion so divine,
ccartion makes it less;

The Joint Commission.

ruE rIsHHrY QJE-IIoN-1HI TREATIES.
The appointment of q joint high commits
sion by the United states and British Gov
ernments to adjust the several matters OF
which disarreements exist between the two
governments, is very important measure.
Proposed by the British ministry at first in
reference to the fishery questions, President
. Grant proposed that its object be enlarged to
take in the adjustment Of the Alabama
claims and the British ministry accedcd,
with the further condition that all other
claims between the citizens of the two coun-
tries arising from acts committed during the
late war be included To this President
Grant assents, and dominates an able com
mission on the part Of the United States.
This certainly looks like business; and if
the British commissioners shall be men Of
similar character. the two countries may be
considered as in a fair way to have
reasonable adjustment Of q number OF hith-
erto yexatious subjects. The commission is
to si5 II Washington and from the number
and character of the questions which it Will
have to discuss, the time occupied by it must
be considerable.
The matter Of the fisheries has been one
attended with vezations for long time, and
it Is Of high Importance that the disagree
ments should be brought to an end.

Neither In the treaty Of Client, made in
1914. to restore peace which had been
broken between the two countries by the
war Of 1872, and to adjust sundry matters
of Disagreement, was there any allnsion to
the fisheries. 1t appears, however, that in
formal conversations on the subject were had
the British commissioners taking the
ground that the war had virtually abrogated
the concessions made to the Americans res
pecting the fisheries in 1883; and init mating
that those concessions would not in all res
poets be made thereafter by the British gov
eminent. The American commissioners did
not accede to that view Of the case, but took
the ground that the peculiar character of
the treaty Of 1873, and the nature of the
fishing rights were such as to debar the
British government from taking that posi-
ton. Though the subject Of the fisheries
was not meddled with in the treaty Of 1914,
difficulties soon arose and by the treaty Of
ISIS conditions as to headlands, bays, shore,
distances, etc, were agreed upon which have
been a source Of vexation and dispute ever
since. Fortunate viii it be for the two coun-
triss if by the proposed commission con-
illusions shall be reached which will end all
serious trouble for the time to come.
