Glove is like a hunter, who cares not for
the game once caught which he may have
pursued with the most intense and breath
less eagerness. Love is the strongest in pur-
suit-friendship in Observation-Disclosures
This for the text and for the argument this
Either Emerson did not know what love
was or he did not write the word with the
full significance Of its meaning. Probably
the latter. For many of the most bitter dis
cussions arise from a different understand
ing OF the same word. Thus in horticulture,
"hybrid and cross' are used by some as
Synonymous and hence arise misunderstand-
ings and debates; so in Theology with the
words ''belief and faith - and so love is of
ten written when the meaning would be
better expressed by feeling, desire or pas
sion.
1t is no more sad than true that this mis-
conception goes further than mere words
and that people often believe themselves pos
sessed bysone of these when, in fact, it is an
other that has. control of them and we often
find those united in marriage who learn too
late that they have been mistaken in regard
to their own feelings. Many believe their
emotions and actions %engendered by far diff
terent causes than is really the case.
Nature has implanted in the sexes a de-
sire to mate and all that nature does is to
urge on the mating without regard to pro-
priety or fitness. Natures end and aim in
all life, whether vegetable or animal, is Re
production; and reason, judgment and the
whole intellect which should be brought to
bear on the question of the choice of a part
ner for life, is often overborne. by this natu-
raj desire. When this is done, the result can
but be evil for IN a proper direction and

NO NAME IN THE HAT.

Witnesses are known to lawyers as Z" Slow
and "swift. The "slow" swear to too lit
tie; the $ swift " testify too much. O'Con-
nell, the great Irish lawyer, once had a deal
with a sswift" witness. The incident is
thus told:
O'Connell defended a man who was tried
at the Cork assiZes for murder. The case
for the prosecution was exceedingly strong.
The principal witness had picked up the hat
Of the man on trial, near the body of the
murdered man. The prisoners name was
Fat Hogan. The hat was produced in court.
O'Connell asked to see it, and it was handed
to him. "Now ,"O'Connell to the witness,
syou are quite sure that this is the hat you
tound?'
eyes your honor counselor"
"And the hat is in the same state now it
was then?'
30, yes; just the same"
O'Connell looked inside and spelled Pat
Hogan. "Do you mean to say that the
name was in the hat when you found it.
"Ido-onmy oath, said the witness, con-
fdently.
"You are certain of that ?"
"Quite certain"
"Now you may go down. cried O'Con-
nell. "My Lord" he said, +" there must be
an acquittal there Is no name at allin the hat!,'
The jury at once, under the judges direc-
ton, found the prisoner ''not guilty"

control OF this desire depends more than the
happiness of those mating. 1t be-
them then, to understand, if posi-
BILE, what love is" Love that annihilates
all time and space, all doctrines and creeds,
all forms and prejudices love that is full
and complete-and they will come to know
that it is not strongest in pursuit.
1t is often and truly said that the firstyear
of married life is The most trying. II is in
this year that the parties first become really
acquainted with each others faults and fol-
bles and, if they truly love, to look leniently
upon them for marriage does not always
bring out the bright side of character. Lecky
says,-'Th beautiful affections which had
before been latent are evoked in some par
ticular forms of union, while others are par
ticularly fitted to deaden the affections and
preserve the character.
One seldom finds a welded mate the same
as imagination has pictured. The desire to
mate blinds one to defects of character OBJ
vious to others, while regard, esteem and
affection magnify virtues to such an extent
that the chosen one appears as near perfec-
ton as possible. When this glamour is re-
moved by the knowledge gained from the
experience of everyday life and the parties
appear to each other in their true %colors, it
is sometimes the case that the steps taken
are regretted and it is found that desire and
not love has fostered the union.
That an object for the possession of which
we nave striven earnestly often proves val
u%eless, is true. We grasp at an apparent re-
ality and find only a shadow; and when we
awaken to a knowledge of the truth and fine
that what we have is not that which was
sought, love can find there no resting place
1t is an utter impossibility. But the pos
session of that which is worthy of love in
creases its intensity until, at last, it comes t.
reach that completeness that can be attaine'
only in the marriage relation.
:. A true and abiding friendship is worth,
!, Of u highest encomiums. Whereverit ea
lists it should, if possible, be cherished an
attained. But it is less than love which owe
shadows and embraces 1t. There can be n
! love without friendship, but friends are M
necessarily lovers. With friendship abidet
faith and hope; but a greater than these
: Love, which " beareth all things, believet
> all things, hopeth all things, endureth a

HOW OUR ANCESTORS DRESSED

The following extract is taken from an
article in the Portland Transcript, headed
1.-The Ways Our Fathers Trod."
There was surely more "method in mad
ness +" then, if only they who could afford
the waste might squander money in dress
lawfully:
In these Centennial days when Lady
Washington tea. parties are in such high IA
vor. and there IS a general resuscitation of
ancient wardrobes, we are apt to jump at
the conclusion that our grandinothers were
very extravagant. What costly brocades
and damasks come forth from their hiding
places, what beautiful shell combs, what
rich old laccs meet our envious eyes! And
what gay colors, what brilliant contrasts,
both men and women wore in those early
times! During the occupation of New York
by the British, the sole editor and publisher
in the city advertised for sale scarlet riding
dresses. made to suit the uniforms of hus-
bands and lovers. Looking at these we'll
preserved treasures, we recall the quaint
lamentations of the Puritan ministers, and
find it easy to believe that there was then a
great striving to outdo each other in luxu-
~ and gay apparel" The Simple Cobbler
of Agawam wrote in 1647, of Massachusetts
" it is no marvel they wear drailes
on the hinder part Of their heads, having
nothing, as it seems, in the fore-part, but a
few squirrill's brains, to help them frisk
from one ill-favored fashion to another"
But even the sterner sex were not devoid of
vanity, for we are told that New York gen
tlemen, on their way to the theatre, carried
their cooked hats in their hands for fear OF
disturbing their nicely-arranged curls. Sure
ly appearances are against our respected
ancestors. But if we remember that Flora
McFlimsey, with her five hundred dresses,
was then unknown, that a new calico dress
once a year was a luxury, and that one silk
brocade dress lasted a lifetime, being only
worn on great occasions, we shall see reasons
to modify our opinions. Moreover, it was
against the law in the principal colonies fol
any enc to indulge in personal finery wht
could not afford it. An old Virginia statute
ran thus: 1T is permitted to none but the
Council and Heads of Hundreds to wear
gold in their clothes, or to wear silk till the,
make it themselves And the law of Mas
sachusetts declared: "all persons not wortl
two hundred pounds wearing gold or silve
lace, or button or blue lace above two shil
fings per yard, or silk hoods or scarfs, ma.
be presented by the grand jury, and sha]
pay ten shillings for every offense. Ever
person who dresses above his rank may b
assessed at two hundred pounds If thes
laws were. enforced now. what a stripping

appeal, De Kalb led the charge on foot.
Wound followed wound, but he held his
ground desperately. At last, concentrating
his strength in a final charge, CORVALLIS

from the ground, and leaning him against a
wagon began to strip him. At this moment
CORVALLIS and his suite rode up. They
found him already stripped to his shirt, and
