There is nothing on esnh worthy of being
compared for a moment with Love. - No other
thing that can givs, by itself, unalloyed happi
ness. A loveless lifs is worthless, though pssssd
in luxury and crowned witb ths proudest Isurels
of suocessful ambition, A life well set about
with love ia blessed, though haunted by that
relentlesa fate which seems to deny to soma men
sod' women what tha world ealla euooese. ' To
have been without a parent'a love ia childhood,
without the love of brothen and sisters; to have
passed youth without that more romaoUe love
which makes heaven of earth ; and to live oa ia
maturity, ' neither feeling nor , inspiring that
strong, enduring love which makes any sacrifice
eaaytaod toil pleasant, any burden light, eo' that
it benefita the well-beloved, 1a to be poor indeed,
so poor that uvea the pitying angles have no
alma to give that eaa do any good. And yet,
bow many know nothing . of love - or . only
understand the word la its coarsest eanse,
so that one . bluabea to have altered it ia such
presence. How many, more pore than these,
soser at it ss a delusion and absurdity, not un
derstanding thst pure love ia not a thias: of the
souses, but of the soul j aot a flams, flickering
snd flashing ever the passionate time at life, but
a soft, steady glow, lighting it from the cradle to
the grave, and one may even hope, burning on
