Love Letters.

Political economists, says an ex-
chang, do not approve of love letters
M.lthus and such like grumpy old
characters condemn lovers and all thei,
doings in the lump. and love letters are
na urslIy iucluded in this sweeping
disepproval. But things areevened ND
by The fact that the lovers, on their
part, when they happen to stop in their
love making long enough to remember
that such thirgs exist, are Just as
decided in their condemnation of
political economists. Aud the lovers,
under ali circumstances, are ready to
sG m uohesita in9iy that next to talk
log about love to each other. writing
about love to each other is altogether
the most perfect joy that earth affords.
While the love letters are fresh and new,
last off the fire. as it were, even othe.
than political economists are prone to
regard them rs lack-wit utterances
which are instructive only in that they
show how abstract of reason the head
OF man may become when the heart OF
man is oveffali of love. The billings
and cooings being set down upon paper
are viewed by an unpr. JUDGED third
party with contempt that may be ligh
and good humored, or that may be
culd and cynical. Yet let these same
love letters be kept for while, and
how changed does their condition
becoms-how different is the feeling
that reading them will srousel The
lsp,e OF five, ten. fifteen years will Bot
affect their meaning, hut when they
have besn laid away for half . century
or more the ballowing influence of time
will have done its work-will have
made What once was commonplace,
even ridiculous, sacred. There is
such pathetic contrast between the
pale Ink, the frayed and faded paper.
and tie flesh, tumuitnous heart beats
which tremble in the written words;
between the promises of eternGl Con-
stsncy Of u love that never shall glow
cold. and these dry wisps Of paper
which have yet left in them more of
warmth and life than survive in the
eternal love that has grown temporal
in death and is chilled forever in the
gravel And even when not sanctified
BY years, love letters take on them u
new aid serious complexion when one
OF the lovers is dead and gone. There
is such an excess of vitality in what is
written that death seems utterly unrea
sonsblt q fact that has asserted itself
10 the face of an impossibility, and this
is staggering bccAuse it is so utterly
unexpected and incomprehsAsible. And
yet the love letters VII cI are thus
reverenced in no wise differ from those
which political economists condemn
and the rank and ile of humanity make
ir,e to scof at. The change in the
tenor of the criticism is not the result
of any change in the facts; it comes
beoaose those who criticise are swaye ed
by Q certain tenderness of heart that
cannot come out te meet living love,
but that q dead love rarely fails to
inspire. And in that this feeling exists
universally there is ground for beiev-
iDg that the political economists are all
wrong-that even the humblest love
letter, when ennobled by the SORROW
that comes nith death, is a holy thing.
since it Is the outpouring Of the pro.
foundest Instinct known to the human
heart.

ably reached as high as they will 60 this
