LOVE LETTERS

You would think that that of itself
would be enough to stay any feminine
pen. II 1t isn't, the knowledge that
even when mel are not cads enough to
deliberately show letters they are care
less about them, should give every. girl
pen paralysis, for even the Sir Gala
hads among men regard love letters
az mere scraps Of paper, They leave
them about In the drawers of their bu-
reaus and desks. and In old scat pockets

II any girl believes that the man to
whom she addressed a red hot love
letter destroys 1t on the spot, or locks
Il up in his safety deposit box, she had
just as well disabuse her mind OF that
fancy, The chances are that even II
the man doesn't share Il with his mas
! culine friends, the curious eye Of the
office boy or the chambermaid at the

and opine that she has got II bad.

In my opinion there is no other place

Perhaps there is no power in the
world which is not wholly Of the world
that is so magical in its effects as
sympathy; and II is something which
should call for our especial study as

not only upon a suggestion Of this
feeling, but upon its absolute and UNI
tians we must love our fellow man,
we must feel with him, enter into his
~trials-rejoice with them who rejoice
and weep with them who weep. And
He who showed the most abundant fell
low feeling, who .wept with the sisters
for the sinner and the o%utcast, puts 1t
to US plainly that a want of true SYM

power OF true worship, or OF any APP
proach to God. III a man loveth not

He who would sympathize must be
content to be tried and tempted. There
is a hard and boisterous rudenesa in our
hearts by nature which requires to be
softened down, We pass by suffering
gaily, carelessly, not in cruelty, but
u%nfeelingly, Just because we do not
know what suffering is. There is a
naughty feeling OF uprightness which
has never been on the verge of fall
