BY POLLY PENN.

There are many kinds of love,
AS many kinds of light,
And every kind of love II
Makes a glory in the night,
There is love that 5stirs the heart,
And love that gives it. rest
But the love that leads life upward
Is the noblest and the best r,
So sings the. poet. Yet all these
kinds of love may be resolved into
just two. ~~....
. There is the kind of love which gives
itself up in utter self-abandon;. which
cries weakly, II cannot help it. - This
kind would sell it's soul for what it
calls the grand passion, and consider
itself admirable in so doing. =
. Then there is the other kind, which
can help loving, if it chooses, but
which deliberately chooses to love,
be worthy. -. ..'
=. Between these two there is all the
difference between well-manned ship,
steering steadfastly over high seas and
low toward definite haven, and an
unnamed vessel, careening wildly
around with no fixed course, at the
mercy, of every .gale-and doomed to
almost certain destruction.
There may be times when we cry,
e"All for love, and the world we'll
lost and when it seems a glorious
thing even to go under, for the sake
it is not really love of the highest
and noblest sort. It is a gigantic self
ishness, passion and lack of seif-con-
trol-that is all. And in our wise, clear
moments. we understand how infinitely
less noble a feeling it is than that
other kind Of emotion which loves
deeply and truly because it believes it's
affection to be Justified,
Justification does not always mean
return; the highest love is often given
without any return in kind. But it
means that there are reasonable quail
ties in the loved one which call forth
affection. 1t is possible to pity and
yearn over drunkard or a criminal:
but it is not possible to love them with
this higher type of affection which has
it's very foundation on sincere admira.
ton and respect.
Women are peculiarly susceptible to
emotion Of this lesser sort. The femi-
nine craving for affection, tie mater
nal pity for the wrongdoer, often lead
them to bestow love where they can
neither respect nor trust. In nine cases
out of ten the result is misery. In the
