Filled With shrnes thu heart hath builded
Home-so wa'ch the faithful dove
Sailing through the heaven above us.

] have but little respect for the man
who is not 1t is the soul of religion
and patriotism: it is the lifeblood of all
society: it is the essence of love. Every
soul that ever found its way from earth
to heaven was waited there on the
wings of sentiment; every brave spirit
who ever faced death for his country
was led by sentiment to the battlefield;
every beautiful picture is sentiment
reflected from the heart on the canvas;
and every creation of the sculptor's
chiSel is the silent image of a senti-
ment. What power is it which leads
the bride and groom to the altar 10 seal
their vows? 1t is the pure sentiment of
love. What is it which makes home
and life and the world beautiful? 1t is
sentiment. What are the flowers but
the fragrant sentiments of God? What
are the brawling brooks and ripping
rivers but the laughter and song of the
waters? What are laughter an song
but sentiment?
My wifeless friend, somewhere in thy
heart there is an angel sentiment
sleeping. appeal to you in the name
of religion, and patriotism, and society,
and love to wake it, and let it fly out in
in search of its kindred sentiment; and
it will not be long until broadcloth and
white swiss shall float down the aisle
of the crowded church together, and
new book of thy destiny shall be
opened, revealing mysteries which
thou hast never dreamed of before.
Loneliness will quit thee there, and
thou shalt walk in sentiment and new
ness o: life.
Behold the widower, with his pink
bald head, his wrinkles, aud his rheu-
matism.
He wi IS in AMI wires out,
And leaves the ladies all in doubt
As to what is his age and what he is worth,
And whether or not he owns the earth.
He is the most popular man OF any
age who moves in society. Always
light-hearted and gay. he knows all
the nigh cuts to the hearts of the fair.
He is the beautifulest ant in the suga-
bowl, and always gets his share of the
sugar; he is the swiftest old colt on the
turf of love; he leaves you at the first
quarter post; he passes the swellest of
the swell in the first half mile, and
comes in on the home stretch with his
nozzle over the moon and his tail over
the stars, winner in a walk. His
power lies in sentiment.
You are as good-lookinG as he, and
are end owed with as much good Sc n Sc.
Why don you study him and learn the
art of courting? | do not know
whether it is true or not that ma.ches
are made in heaven, but do know that
they ought to be made on earth. 1t Is
the law of nature that all life shall
mate; Their fore you are disobeying the
law of nature. think nature is wiser
than you. and yOu ought to think so,
too; and now that the beautiful spring
time has come, follow the example OF
Bob White" and begin to whistle for
your mate. 1t will soon be time for
the billing and cooling of the doves.

Longfellow was not only poet, but
a philosopher, when he said:
Asu unto the bow the cord il.
SO unto the man Is woman;
Though she bends him. she obeys him;
Though she draws him. yet she follows;
Useless each without the other
am sure you need little bending,
as well as somebody to follow you, es-
pecially when you are out late at night.
am equally sure that you are useless
without the other.
Couple up, get your mate, claim your
bride, and begin to live. In the de-
lightful cotillion of married life, give
your partner your right hand and
swing halfway round. Swing, swing,
swing. Yours in the swing,
