that, compared with it, you are feeble
and apart from it you have none.
During the hours of gloomy employ
ment there come flashes of memory
wherein one particular smile or one ex-
preston OF love brightens your whole
horizon, like lightning on a summers
night. Your senses recall her every
gesture with a sort of ecstacy, that is a
solace to your eager heart until you re-
turn once more to the donor of sweet
hopes and wholesome purposes. AS
evening draws on, if that be your time
for visiting her, supper finds you rest
less to be gone. Remarks addressed to
you by the home-toiks get answered in
monosyllables, OF. you fail altogether to
understand what they are saying to
you. The sounds of the fields, the
highways and even the busy streets,
chime in with the rugged harmony of
your heart. Come the hOarse roar OF
storm or the gentle signing of breezes,
they are both one to you The storm
you defy and the breeze you would
force into strength, for you are man,
walking with head fearlessly erect,
treading the earth like king. You
are nerved to your best because a wom-
an has owned that she loved you she
has bowed down her mightiness to
make you feel that she leans on you,
and it braces up all the best that is
within you.-You are now at the SUI
preme moment OF your life; your days
are big with fate. Love is sublime in
its influences it is awful in its possi-
bilities.

Mile after mile you travel in the
stormiest weather if only you may see
her for a few moments. Without a
uualm OF conscience, you now are apt
to let the ordinary girl shift for herself
where escorts are needed. But your
dear one finds in you one so persistent

At the outset spoke of love as an
oasis. An oasis is exactly the sort of
of place that describes the love of
many. The traveller over dreary des-
ert with its drought and misery, filings
himself with joyous gratitude under re-
freshing shade. The very strength he
gains, too often makes him grow weary
of peace, makes him pine for change,
makes him dream OF more beauteous
spots yet to be found. From the des-
ert he came back to the desert he goes.
Since the desert is place of danger
and detriment and death, I would warn
you from it; 80 next week we will re-
turn to our present subject.
