Tho Fountain of Youth.

What joy may como to Il married pair,
even with tho first dawning of Il new life, if
only their hearts arc attuncd to mutual in
tercst, mutual affection, mutual aspiration.
Tho orange blossom is made tho symbol of
married love for no other reason that | know
of but because it puts forth its stainless pet
ais anew for each new fruit. So in married
life the setting of each new germ should lie
attended with IL new towering of tho first
love tho love CT youth. "A little
of tho old love- was tho mcssag, with
which Il husband l once knew always
closed his letters to his wife. y little
of that same old love made now and
fresh for the occasion ought to accompany
tho wife through every stage of each mater
nal experience. Tho thoughtful attentions,
the tender cndcarmcnts Of the wooing tillc,
should bc renewed, and they will have a
deeper meaning and servca grander purpose
than was possible to them before, for lovin.,
children are not born into unloving homes.
The wife, too, who is thus tendcrly cared for
will keep her pristine charms of soul, if not
of body. Her youthfulncss will be renewed
by q perpetual miracle, for that dear sold
love- is the true and only fountain of per
petual youth, and it is the privilege Of mar
ricd lovers to battle III it at will.-Carolinc T.
