What is love, that all the world
| Talks so much about it?
What is love, that neither you
Nor can do without it,"
i Sod pity those who affect to sheer
and ridieule sentiment-that pure,
tender emotion which is the pivot of
the worlds happiness.
If the parents o. those who SCOT
at love had not looked and been at
tracted to each other, courted and
wed, the scoffer would not have been
here to cast his slurs upon affection.
That there should be magnetic force
to bring together hearts intended for
each other should not be disputed.
The most profound thinkers in every
age have recognized the worth of sen.
timent and voiced their conviction in
words that ring true and find an echo
in uncalloused hearts.
s. The following are pearls Of thought
which make sentiment divine. 1.-THE
most precious possession that ever
comes to man in this world is a
woman's heart; "The gate Of heaven
is Love, there is none other; ''It is
possible that man can be so changed
by love that one could not recognize
him to be the same person; Love
does not spring up and grow great
and perfect all at once, but requires
time and nourishment of thought:
As in friendship, SO in love; we are
often happier from ignorance than
from knowledge; There comes a
time when the souls Of human beings
women more even than men, begin to
faint for the atmosphere Of the af-
feetions they are made to breathe:
Let US love so well our work shall be
the sweeter for our love-: "A happi-
ness that is quite undisturbed becomes
tlresome. We must have ups and
downs. The difficulties which are
mingled with love awaken passion and
inspire heart pleasures; "Life to-
gether, death apart, two bodies, one
heart, that is love-"
Two hearts are made, the angels say,
To suit each other dearly;
But each one takes different way.
A way not found so clearly.
Yet, though we seek and seek for
years
The pains are worth the taking;
For what the love Of home endears
Like hearts angel making?
Then haste and guard the treasure
now
When fcndly you've changed it,
For there's a heart for every one
If everyone could find it."
It would seem that love brings to
some hearts what is felt as a tinge
of sorrow and to others constant glad |
ness, Betrothal time is perhaps one
Ct the happiest periods &C two hearts. |
The course of true love runs smoothly |
then, with but few exceptions. while |
a sighted sweetheart is a ,nortifvinp |
happening, subjecting her to ridicule /
instead of undying love. The wonder |
IS that love can ever change within /
two hearts which seem only to heat
for each other while life lasts.
Life is sweet and love too precious /
to waste or lose. No grief equals /
parting from one-time devotion: no
pain is harder to undergo; for It lie a /
complaint that seemingly has no cure.
All girls should beware Of incon.
slant lovers, who break the bonds of
loyal love ruthlessly, unpardonablv.
without regard to heartaches or cruel /
after memories Men who have the
sterling qualities of honor, honesty IN
their hearts and reverence for women
win deserved confidence, friendship
which ripens into pure love and un.
broken hapqpiness for hearts.
