We are glad the association has been with us. It has encouraged ns. We will try harder for the' future. ' II. T. W. Lore. Love is tbe connecting Sink of the u Diverse. It unites the moral and spiritual universe, and binds it to the throne1 of God. It is the vital force or attraction, which unites or binds the air and "in all.' It is tbe root of creation, the essence of God, the rudi mental elements of tbe soul. It is, therefore, a divine gift, -a blessing which the Creater did not withdraw from his erring chil dren, when they were 'driven from Paradise into a world of desolation and strife. He left it as an insepar able cord, by which to draw the hu man heart ever upward to a brighter home, a heavenly Eden. liove is the very essence of Divine Law. To its presence we are indebted for all that is good and true in art and na- ture. It endows humanity with countless virtues, and throws a mys tic veil over our many faults. Literalur-owes,to love its choicest gems. Without that, it would be as a floating mass of immaterial sub stance. It is true, love Iras been degraded to some extent, but true love never seeks to degrade its' object. On the contrari', it magnifies every virtue, endows it with the divinest attri butes, and guards its chastity or bo nor at the sacrifice of its own life. It heightens spirituality, awakens hope, strengthens faith, and enhances devotion. It quickens the percep tions, intensifies the sensibilities,and redoubles the memory. As bone nnd reason js to our physical and intel lectual beings so is love to our mor. al and, spiritual existence. Love is to the moral and spiritual universe what gravitation is to the natural world, it brings all things to a common center; yet it must be exercised Judiciously. The normal exercise of love insures the richest blessings of life, while the abnormal unkindles God's wrath, and brings us down to poverty and shame. The heart demands an object upon which to lavish the largeness of its affec tion. In the absence of all else, some4 object,' either animate or in animate,' willreceive'this homage.-.

Our homes are bowers in it; our roads are walks in it- and always within reach", b.-xng forbid den fruits, though now they are such as are often their owo punishment in eating apples of Sodom, golden in the rind and ashes inside. There! is in the garden still the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and this we may eat of now, for it is foil grown, and the frail has become ripe. MARG AUETTSVI LLE ITEMS.
