LAFAGAH'S LOGIC.
LOVE.

LOVE,
Love Is cheap, and lenioy H.
Ii is another name for go,llncss.
II is the only modcrn Swindlc easily
forgiven.
1t is the ingredient that grcases the
saw of life.
1t is n nice cross between religion and
happiness.
Like the olive tree, IL furllllzcs tho
surrounding SOL,
Solf-loycs selfish II won't wash
and hold its color.
II lifts fifteen ounces of from every
pound of sorrow.
II Is the first virtue weaned, and be-
gins to root early in lfc
Like the smallpox IN bad cases, the
only way to cure II is to die.
Some natures never succeed in loving
anything but new cider.
The love that comes from heaven is
that of u sou for his mother
1t is just as natural for humanity TO
love as IL is for frog to jump.
"unspoken love" is good deal like
sca-sckness pretty sick, but can't
yomit.
1t Is charity's best substitute. as love
is charity, with n pedigree from heaven.
II is tho rconl law of nature, and
plays second fiddle only to the law of
sclf-prcseryation.
Love dates from the beginning of
the world, and is therefore the GRAND
mother of creation.
Next to hot whisky, 1t has proba-
bly, done more to make fool of man
than any othcr one thing,
When pure love is the traces TO which
| husband and wife are hitched they make
bully team,
To many love is Ike measles. II new
or catches either but once, and that
seems 10 satisfy them.
IL has never been truthfully defined.
Like the smell OF imbcrgor cheese 1t Is
hard TO describe
"Loye thy noighbor MS myself Is u
divine injunction, but it isn't every fool
that can follow 1t.
| + | have read somewhere that whisky
Is mans only enemy that he ever sue
ceeds in loving TO any extent, and be-
llovo it,
Some people are not constituted to
love anything, and pity them as much
as do n spoIlt child, Thoy were made
in vain.
Ii constitutional, love would not be
any more Of virturc than the itch, but
that's just tilt requires moro or less
sclf-donial and some charity TO succeed,
There Is the common sense love; tho
kind that, when It's lavished affections
are not rcoiprocated. apparently,
throws up the claim and makes love to
the younger sister ....
love at first sight" Is gonera ally
about rs long-liyed asa bottle of gin
ger.pop with the cork out; II is all
right enough, for poets, but when we
get down to common life advise Soc
ond look.
There Isl species OF love that never
comes out Of It's hole, and is of no more
use in adversely thana pump handle in
the Sahara Desert For relieving the
pain Of the unfortunate it Is about rs
much account as weak poultce.
Transient love, when the object Of adj
Grafton Is away, is like bottle Of CO.
lognc water pull the cork and in n few
days tho best part of 1t is gone. Such
natures love for the time being just rs
pullot hens lay small eggs because
they can't help IL.
Young love lives at least twenty-four
months each year; but MS il is natural
for young people, II the object is worthy
of love, loving 1t good deal won't hurt
either of them, for in youth love is gem
orally rs harmless as spruce gum, and
has no more care for the future than
last years grasshopper And 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 Of
the affair - Chicago Ledger.
