LAFAGAN'S LOGIC.
LOVE.

Love is cheap, and l enjoy it.
1t is another name for godliness.
1t is the only modern swindle easily
forgiven.
1t is the ingredient that greases the
saw of life.
1t is nice cross between religion and
happiness.
Like the olive tree, it furtilizes the
surrounding soil.
Self-loveis selfish. It won't wash
and hold its color.
1t lifts fifteen ounces off from every
pound of sorrow.
1t is the first virtue weaned, and be-
gins to root early in life.
Like the smallpox in bad cases, the
only way to cure it is to die.
Some natures never succeed in loving
anything but new cider.
The love that comes from heaven is
that of a son for his mother.
1t is just as natural for humanity to
love as it is for frog to jump.
"Unspoken love" is a good deal like
sea-sickness-pretty sick, but can't
vomit.
1t is charity's best substitute, as love
is charity, with pedigree from heaven.
1t is the second law of nature, and
plays second fiddle only to the law of
self-preservation.
Love dates from the beginning of
the world, and is therefore the grand
mother of creation.
Next to hot whisky, it has proba-
bly, done more to make fool of man
than any other one thing.
When pure love is the traces to which
husband and wife are hitched they make
a bully team.
To many love is like measles. 1t nev-
er catches either but once, and that
seems to satisfy them.
1t has never been truthfully defined.
Like the smell of limberger cheese it is
hard to describe.
"Love thy neighbor as thyself'' is a
divine injunction, but it isn't every fool
that can follow it.
have read somewhere that whisky
is mans only enemy that he ever sue
ceeds in loving to any extent. and be-
lieve it.
Some people are not constituted to
love anything, and I pity them as much
as do spoilt child. They were made
in vain.
If constitutional, love would not be
any more of virture than the itch, but
that's just tit requires more or less
self-denial and some charity to succeed.
There is the common sense love; the
kind that, when it's lavished affections
are not reciprocated, apparently,
throws up the claim and makes love to
the younger sister.
Love at first sight" is gener ally
about as long-lived as bottle of gin,
ger-pop with the cork out: 1t is all
right enough for poets, but when We
get down to common life 1 advise a sec
ond look.
There is a species of love that never
comes out of its hole, and is of no more
use in adversely than a pump handle in
the Sahara Desert For relieving the
pain of the unfortunate it is about as
much account as weak poultice.
Transient love, when the object of ad.
Grafton is away, is like bottle of co.
logne water-pull the cork and in a few
days the best part of it is gone. Such
natures love for the time being just as
pullet hens lay small eggs-because
they can't help it.
Young love lives at least twenty-four
months each year; but as it is natural
for young people, if the object is worthy
of love, loving it a good deal won't hurt
either of them, for in youth love is gen.
orally as harmless as spruce gum, and
has no more care for the future than a
last years grasshopper. AndI never
yet knew young lovers to care for the
substantials of life. Bonbons and
oranges are generally good enough for
them. The pork and beans of every.
day life knocks all the romance out o1
the affair. Chicago Ledger.
