Love Letters.
[Chicago Herald.l

[Chicago Hetald.l
All the world dearly loves lover,
but It loves love letters quite as well.
Macaulay, in his essay on Sir william
Temple grows very enthusiastic over
the letters OF Dorothy Osborn, who be-
came Lady Temple, and says he would
willingly learn more about the loves
of Sir William and his mistress, and
would gladly purchase more OF the love
letters with ten times their weight In
state papers taken at random. He says:
"Hts style is very agreeable; nor are
her letters at all the worse for some pas
saees in which railing and tenderness
are mixed IN a very engaging namby-
pamby."
There are some other love letters
that one would like to see, even Mt The
cost of state papers. Those were the
letters written by Washington to his
wife both before and after their lnarri-
age. Just before Mrs. Washington's
death che destroyed them all. The IA
Their Of his country was said to have
been most ardent wooer of the Widow
Gusts, and there can be but little doubt
that his letters to her would be very
interesting.
Napoleon's letters to Josephine were
remarkable for their ardor, and for a
man who was said to have no heart he
expressed an extraordinary degree of
love and devotion.
Marlborough was another great gen.
eral and devoted lover, and his love
letters to that imperious termagant,
his wife, better known in history as
0Old Sarah" are marvels of affection.
To the end of his life he worshiped her
as few women are ever worshiped. by
husbands, though her sharp tongue and
rasping temper gave him but little
peace.
Swift's letters to Stella are his com.
plete autobiography, and at the time
when he possessed his greatest power
when he was courted by the rich anC
great, when ministers of state consult
ed him on every question, he yet tool
time to write to her almost daily. Ant
he no sooner sent off one letter than h
commenced another, thus, says Thack
cray, never letting go her dear hand
He told her everything that was goins
on In the great world and what Wa
said and done by every person wortl
knowing, from the queen down. Blu
there was a curse connected with every
thing that Swift did After wooiug hi
Stella for years and years, aud breaking
the heart of Miss Vanhormrign as well
he finally married Stella, but refuse,
to live with her. They parted at tn
alter never to meet again. But his lei
tiers to her are to-day the best OF hi
writings, and OF far more interest tha
