aud May trying To become as one. The
sacrament Of marriage is the hottest of all
liod'S Saoramcnts, and when such old age and
youth seek to be mated an infractiou of
one Of natures diyiuest laws is made. Jan
nary, with the frosts of the winter hoary
with age dccrepid, and with limbs and fac
ultiesal benumbed, can be no fitting mate
for young and ,prightly and joyous May, the
blood OF youth leaping madly, gladly
through her veins; roses and daisies tvined
all about her brow, gladncSs, like unto
that of birds, singing in her heart, cannot
he tied down to the side of tho frigd and
hobbllng January. Let young March, with
his robustness, with the freshness Of his
heart, the zost of his being, woo and win
young May and then nature is not outraged
The ceremonials at her affairs, the chrism
Of rich wine, the wine of the soul baptizing
all, and the freshness of youth breathing
its spirit over the offerings thereon laid,
will Of the divncst from her inncrmost ar
canum. In the remote chambers of her
temple are the affairs for the prisons of the
middlc-agcd with subducd lights shining
above; and still further back in more dis
tant chambers are the affairs for January and
February, who once were March and
May, for their sober and sedatc
devotions, but pickering flame
shedding its feeble light around he
natural in all things, is the divincst law
given for mans govcrnancc 1t is the af-
fiction, the assumption of things that are
not that make people ridiculous that lower
them in the scale of humanity. The false
with its glare and its glitter, alone, brings
unhappiness, misery, discomfort and woe.
The true, the honest, the natural generate
only happiness and content, and blessed he
the man who 10 honest and contcnted.
What cares has he? What thoughts of the
present or of the future disturb him? What
waves from any sea disturb the cQuipoise,
tho perfect happiness Of his soul. 1--WE are
all poor critters says the Widow Bedott,
but only those are ''poor critters
who are unnatural, who fardcls
bear who build mountains before they come
to them, whose imagination is stronger
| than their common sense 1t may he true
it is true that honesty is tho best policy,
hut tho man who is honest only because it
is tho best policy is the greatest knavc Of
all BE honest be natural, because it is
right to he honest, and let policy take care
ofitsef Sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof" but why should there he any evil?
liza man is true to his nature, educated and
curbcd and restrained by the requirements
Of society, the dictates of morality,
of course, the honcstcr he is and
therefore the happier. Dishonesty is
an abnormal condition, Purity lives
inherent in the hearts of all
men and women and II adj
herring to the teachings received at the
knees Of their mothers, remembering the
lessons instiled in their minds in childhood
and in youth at the homo hearth-stonc,
they will, ifthcv be but natural if they fight
with right the temptations of the earth
earthly, they will be in the end, at least,
happy and will be Of Gods olect The
| lIottentot in his hot climate wears hi,
breech-clout, while tho EsQuimauX, amid his
eternal SHOWS and ice, cannot live without
his fIrr and skins. This is nature. Nature
says January belongs TO the winter seasons
with its chills and freezes, and May, to the
bright spring time when the sap is rising
when nature is all in its bud and bloom, and
it is folly to try to join the two,
