WHAT TRUE LOVE is.

MANY women suppose that they
love their husbands, when, uufortun-
ately, they have not the beginning of
an idea what love is. Let me explain
it to you, my dear lady. Loving to
be admired by man, loving to be
petted by him, and loving to be praised
by him, is not loving a man. All
these may be when a woman has no
power of loving at all,-they may all
be simply because she loves herself,
and loves to be Hattered, praised,
caressed, coaxed, as a cat likes to be
coaxed and strokcd, and fed with
cream, and have warm corner.
But all this is not lore. 1t may exist,
to be sure, where there is love; it
generally does. But it may also exist
where there is no love. Love my dear
ladies, is selfsacryice;: it is a life out of
self and in another. It's very essence
is the preferring of the comfort, the
case, the wishes of another to ones
own, for the love we bear them. Love
is giving and not receiving. Love is
not a sheet of blotting-paper or a
sponge, sucking in everything to itself
it is an outspringing fountain, giving
from itself. Loves motto has been
dropped in this world as a chance gem
of great price by the loveliest, the fair
est, the purest, the strongest of lovers
that ever trod this mortal earth, of
whom it is recorded that He said, cit
is more blessed to give than to receive. .
Now in love, there are ten receivers
to one giver. There are ten persons
in this world who like to be loved and
love, where there is one who knows
hon. to lore. That, oh my dear ladies,
is more noble attainment than all your
French and music and dancing. You
may lose the very power of it under a
load of early self-indulgence. BY liv-
ing just as you are all wanting to
live,-living to be petted, to be tlatter-
ed, to be admired, to be praised, to
have your own way, and to do only
that which is easy and agreeable
you may lose the power of self-denial,
and self-sacrifice; you may lose the
power of loving nobly and worthily,
and become mere sheet of blotting-
paper all your life.-Harriet Beecher
Sto,Ue

dsnt.-The title which heads this arti'
Gle has Of lare been greatly hackneyed,
but in the connection in which we now
pse il we believe it to he novel and un-
common.
Without further delay we may state
that we are in receipt Of a communica-
ton from New York, signed BY the
Victoria League" calling upon US to
espouse the cause of Mrs. Victoria c.
Woodruff, of New York, for the
coming Presidency OF the United
States
We had been disposed to grumble
about. the mercurial attitude OF the
thermometer, but this invitation was
like a snow storm, and we have been
cool ever since. A woman for Presi-
dent was an announcement which we
were not altogether prepared TO receive,
and it's surprising Goddess rendered
the atmosphere remarkably frigid.
The circular says that it has the
honor to announce that the Victoria
League" is an association now organ
lied, equipped, and in working order
having its headquarters in New York,
and cooperative agency in st. Louis
and other large cities. .
We acknowledge profound ignorance
as to the whereabouts Of its agency
here, not denying that such q bureau
may exist, but from the tenor of the
communication we are inclined to be-
lieve that the aspiring lady is confident
of success, and that, Victoria being her
name, victory will be the consequence OF
her ambition.
The circular says that the mission OF
the Victoria League" is to unite the
progressive portion Of the American
people into a new political organiza.
ton, or body Of voters, called the Equal
Rights party, consisting OF both sexes
and founded on the constitutional right
of suffrage which the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments vest in women
as well as men.
1t demands from Congress, at It's next
session, a d:claratory act, setting forth,
definitely, this Interpretation Of these
amendments, together with immediate
legislation to insure the free exercise by
women. as by other citizens, OF the
elective franchise in the several States
