: TRUE LOVE- think the average novel
is making sad mischief in the aver age mind
in its pictures of true love. It makes the
tender glow and glamour which related
natures feel when they meet, true love. It
is no such thing; it is true passion, that is
all, a blessed power, purely and rightly
used, but no more true love than those lit
tie hooks and tendrils we see in June, on
a shooting vine, are the ripe clusters of
October. For true love grows out of rev.
erence and Difference, loyalty and cour-
tesy, good service given and taken, dark
days and bright days, sorrow and joy. 1t
is the fine essence of all we are together.
and all we do. True passion comes first
true love last.-Robsrt Collyer.

AN INDEPENDENT RELIC.-A Virgin
ia correspondent of the New York Church
Journal says that Mr.. Med. Smith, of Big
Lick, Roanoke county, Va, has in his pos
session the remains Of a small writing
desk which formerly belonged to MI. JEFF.
ferson, and upon which the Declaration of
Independence was drafted. Mr.. Jefferson
presented the desk to his friend, Bishop
Madison, the first Bishop o. Virginia,
with the remark that he wrote the Declar-
alton of Independence upon it, and Bishop
Madison's son, the late DR.. Madison, who
died at Big Lick some years ago, gave it to
the present owner. 1t was originally
folding desk of mahogany, sixteen inches
in length, nine in width, and six in height.
Mr.. Smith intends to send this relic to the
centennial exposition.

INFORMAL PEOPLE.-Preserve us from
men who 'never stand on CEREMONY
who are always perfectly at home in other
peoples houses! Society has many pests,
but few so intolerable as they. "Free and
easy' visitors are most thoroughly disa-
greeable. They will inflict themselves upon
you at any time, and expect to be al" avs
cordially welcomed because they are SO
free and easy, and so 10th to put anybody
to trouble. They will come before break
fast, OF just as you are sitting down, and
draw up their chairs quite like one of the
family. Early in the morning they de-
light to srun in," and they will come right
up to your chamber to save you the trouble
Of coming down, and there they will sit
and watch you make your toilet, and COM
ment upon how gray your hair is getting
and wonder if you are not great deal
stouter, and redder in the face than you
used to be. They will hunt over your
writing-desk for note paper; battle their
faces with your cologne-water, and scent
their handkerchiefs with the contents OF
your choicest perfumery bottle. They are
always ready for luncheon-''You know
Pm too much at home in your house to go
hungry, my dear"-and any stray confec-
tionery lying about melts before them as
dew before the sun. They make no scruple
of borrowing your latest magazines and
novels; even your wardrobe does not es-
cape their encroachments; and all this in
science is cloaked by such empty remarks
as this: 81 never stand on ceremony, but
make myself at home everywhere; so don't
put yourself out to entertain me!' Again,
we say, preserve us from unceremonious
people!

THE FATE OF BooKs.-Out of 1000 pub
lished books, 900 meyer pay the cost of
printing, &C., 200 just pay expenses, 100
return slight profit, and only 100 show a
substantial gain. Of these 1000 books,
$50 are forgotten by the end of the year,
and $50 more at the end of three years;
only SO survive seven years publicity. Of
the $4,000 publications put forth in the
seventeenth century, hardly more than SO
have great reputation and are reprinted.
Of the 1000 works published in the eigh-
teenth century, posterity has hardly pre-
served more than were rescued from obliv-
ion in the seventeenth century. Men have
been writing books these three thousand
years, and there are hardly more than 500
writer's throughout the globe who have
survived the outrages of time and forget
fulness of man.

A SINGULAR CASE is reported from
Brooklyn. A woman was badly fright
ened by cat some months previous to the
birth OF her child. That child proved to
be girl, and is now eighteen years of age
and married. During her girlhood she
gave no evidence of being affected by her
mother's fright, excepting, indeed, a pro-
pensity to chase mice and occasionally to
SIT on the back yard fence and yowl a lit
tie on moonlight nights; but, strange to
relate, since the birth of her own baby she
always lift it out of it's crib by the back Of
its neck with her teeth,

LAUGHTER.-How much lies in laugh
ter; the cypher key wherewith we decipher
the whole man! Some men wear an ever
lasting barren shipper; in the smile Of 9TH
ers lies cold glitter as Of ice; the fewest
are able to laugh what can be called laugh
ing, but only sniff and litter and Singer
from the throat outwards; or, at best, pro-
duce some whiting, husky cachination, as
if they were laughing through wool; of
none such comes good. The man who
cannot laugh is not only fit for treason,
stratagem and spoils, but his whole life is
already stratagem and treason
