''In the spring young mans fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of love. | If there is one time more than an other when men are inclined to yield Ito the little god of love it is in the i tender springtime. Man is a thinking being, whether he will or no, and no matter which way he turns he sees the suggestion everywhere that spring time is mating time. ~
 l. If he hasn't a sweetheart, what's the | reason? He sees bird and bee shake rthe drowsiness of winter from them and go forth in search of a kindred heart. The same desire animates all species endowed with ilife-to answer to the trumpet call of spring. Few men like to change their mode of living in the cold of winter They are. costly housed and comfortable and are not averse to letting it go at that In the springt3me, mixed with the joy of living a certain twinge, of loneh- ness creeps in. He longs to be in the open, to have some one near who en- joys the sunshine as much as he does Aye, and when the balnny evenings come, heraIding the delights of, sum mer, the human nature in him cries out unnecessarily for some ones dear little hands to hold, some one to make Hove to, not lightly with no further
  en hour, but with the earnest 1nten- ton of wooing in the spring and we'd ding while the glorious summer is still here. That is why so many matches are made in summer.

If he, has not quite arrived at the pro posing time, for one reason or an- other. by that mystical month, any other month of the dear old summer time will do, but the earlier the better. A happy man is he who has taken time by the forelock, has passed through the courtship state and is awaiting glorious spring day to have the wedding Solemnized.
 Why not make your vacation a, we'd ding trip? Many rich man has set tied the question in that happy man ner and afterward has cause to bless the hour that the thought occurred to him. Women delight in spring be- trotha1s, weddings and bridal trips
 
 most delightful season of the entire year? They, too, take their little les sons from the blithesome robins of spring. \
 Unfortunate is the man who sees balmy months approaching with no sweetheart to aid him to greet it. Wise is he who repairs the lack of foresight by remedying the unfortunate situa- ton at the earliest day possible. No energetic man who realizes the re- sponsibility placed upon him by all. lowing him entrance to this world and the privilege of living here should shirk his duty of going forth to find the mate the Lord has created for, him.
 is father Adam and mother Eve mated in the springtime, supposedly. At lealst, I have always beheId them, in all the pictures I have seen, wan dering through the early blossoms, holding hands. Therefore what more natural than that their descendants should likewise choose the early spring to woo and mate?
 t"The charms of youth at once are seen and past;
 And nature says; They are too sweet to last
 So blooms the rose, and so the blush
 ing maid. Loiter not; too soon the flowers of
