THE ROMANCE OF LOVE,

BY REV. E. J. HARDY,

We talk of the romance of war and of the romance of love, and certainly without romance war and love would be anything but postioal What indeed would they be bub alaughter and Just more or less legalised.

1That can scarcely be called a natural uniod, where the imagination has never been kindled, or the heart touched on either side, where in n word thoro has been no romance. Surely there ought to be enthusisama in the happy months that preosde marriage.

A man said that he never despatched a love- letter without first submitting it to a lawyer. One so cautions as this is almost incapable of falling in love at first sight, which is, I take it, the healthy natural way of falling in love. It is a different thing when a man wants to settle. The one man wishes to marry because he has fallen in love; the other wishes to fall in love because he wants to marry.

matters,

A real man does not argue with himself on thesa

He does not ask himself, "How much will this girl's father stump up! "or" If I marry now shall I spoil my prospecta? No, he feels and acta. Ho mates like the birds, because he cannot help himself.

"And Jacob served seven years fox. Rachel, and they seemed unto him he a few days, for the love he had to her, What romanoe there is in these words from the narrative of an old Biblical love! Work that is done for love's rake seems short and seems sweet,

THE POPULARITY OF THE LOVER.. Here is a modern instance of a man working for love and being inspired by love when doing so. At an examination for a Civil Service appointment a candidate was observed to take a picre of card from his pocket. Whenever etiff piece of work was reached out mysterions card, and after gaming at it earnestly for some moments the youth would put it away and go on writing with redoubled energy. The examiner thought that he had caught him copying, and douanded to see the card. The man blushed, but handed it to the examiner. It was the photograph of the girl whom he hoped to marry if the appointment were obtained. He had been gaining inspiration. from her dear, sweet face.

When Queen Victoria was going to be married, her subjects were delighted because it was a love match. It is this which makes your Majesty's marriage so popular," said Lorti Melbourne. The same foot explains the popularity of the union of the King of Spain and Princesa Ena.

Even those who to outsiders seem to be hardened bachelors are seldom as fres from romance as they pretend to be. When alone in his lodgings looking at figures in the fre such an one sometimes fancies that a figure will take bodily shape, and that for him a day will come when he will be able to say,

"And one dear home-one saving ark, Where love's true light at last I've found Shining within when ail is dark And comfortless, and stormy road,"

▲ BACKED TALENT.

Nor are backeler maids always tras to their ideals. Two of them shared a flat for nearly three years. Each had a latok-key and did what she liked. Every day they told each other that they would never surrender to the tyranny of man, until one of them, who was pretty, did at leat fall into the arms of a husband The other abased bar, and was thus answered-Women may grow newer and newer, but they will never be-no new as really to despise the old, old story revealed to them in love's young dream;

Is much truth is this aboteris, thaiforovsky man į - there in que--woman-somewhere in the world,.. and for every women one man. They seldom msettin tima, i though they may perhaps in eternity,

Certainly there are those who expect too much from life in general, and from married life in particular. When castle-building before matri- age they imagine a condition never experienced on this side of Heaven; and when real ife comes with its troubles and ears, the tower of romance falls with a crash, leaving them in the mud hut of everyday really. Women way wish, but they will wish in vain, to be married to a Poem, and given away by a Noval.

A man who had been married three times gave his experience as follows. He said, "My first wife cured me of romance, my Recond taught me humility, and my third made me a philosopher."

More fortunate people are not cured of romance after their marriage, but become even more romantio. Tras, mere passion subidos and gives place to a more tranquil feeling, but. passion is not romanse and it is not love of the highest kind. At the mume time to be always beloved one must be always agreeable, so it is a great mistake for lovers to ose courting when they get married. "My husband," said a lady the other day to her confidante, nover goes away, even for a few hours, without kissing me, and returning two or three times to bid me good-bye.":

THE GHOST OF LOVE.

Lu

Shakespeare says that mon are" April when they woo, and December when they wed." If this be a rule it is one to which there are many exceptions. Not a few women can way of their husbands what the wife of the celebrated autor Garrick said of hers: "He never was a husband to me; he was always a lover."

"There is real love just as there are real ghosts. Every person speaks of it; few persons have seen it." This cynical romark of Roche- foucauld is certainly not true in reference to love before marriage, and the existence of lovo after it rests on far better evidence than the axiatonon of ghosts. I have never seen a ghost, but I have often seen love sarriving matrimony. I have seen many a husband-lover and sweetheart wife.

Writing to his wife from the side, where he had gone in search of health, Charles Kings ley said: This place is perfect; bat it seeras People a dream and imperfect without you. talk of love ending at the altar-Fools'

Young married people often think that who have been in the holy state of mathony twenty or thirty years longer than themselves are very presy, unromantic, and by no means perfect examples of what married people ought to be To such persons we would quote words which an old minister of the Charch of Scotland cere said to a young Scotch Dissenter who was finding many faults "When your lam (shimney) has renked as lang as ours perhaps it will have as much soot,."""

For forty-six years the love for his wife of that great pan of science, Faraday, remained

A. BAD THOUGHT.

Doctor Arnold, the press school-master, often dwelt upen the rare, the unbroken, the almost awful happiness of his domestic life. Yes, the married happiness of some of us does seem strange when we think how little we deserve it, at almost awaful when wo reflect that in this world at least it will soon come to an end.

Spare all hard words, refrain from all unkind deals, for a day will come when you will be will- ing to give red coin of your heart's blood to say those words, and undo those deeds;

OVOE

Foolish people think of love as a modern fair one jest, as a subject for fau and banter wise people, however, know that it is a gift of Cod, and that to fall in love is for good or bad the most serious and important thing that a person can do.

To thoughtful, pare and healthy-minded Think of the young people, we would say: mysterious beautiful feeling of first love, when it rises in your heart, as a sacred talent given not merely for your own happiness, but for the good of the world. You need not keep it to yourself as a guilty secret, for it is natural and right, but still less ought you to put it on your sleeve to be peoked at by daws.

THE NAVY LEAGUE.

After a luncheon held 'of the Westminster Palace Hotel, last month, an extraordinary the Navy Lengue general meeting of was held at Caxton Hall, Westminster, at which the resolution for winding up the league voluntarily with a view to its recon- stitution on the orignal busis, anfettered by the limitations of company law-which recently gave rise to litigation in the Chancery Division

was unanimously passed.

*** THE LUNCHEON,

This was love's young dream indeed. Alas! that it shortd be sometimes so misшanaged that it becomes a hideous nightmare.

On the other hand when courtship is carried on not merely purely, for this we take for granted, but in a noble, chivalrous spirit, it is the most important period of life. When taking delightful walks on summer evenings lovers build castles in the air and some of these muy reach to Heaven, for they may be the beginning of mutual work and mutual improvement that will fit the fair, after a happy life bare, for a more perfect one beyond..

Unsympathetic people often wonder what lovers find to say during the many hours they spend together. Consider, however, that they have to tell the history of their past lives, their present feelings and their future hopes, and the more candid they are towards seok other the better. Love does not depend apan wisele. But the silence of love is not lees enchanting than its sperck.

"Who hath not felt that breath in the air. A perfume and freshness strange and rare, A warmth in the light, and a diss everywbare, When two hearts yearn together? D All sweels below, and all sunny above, Oh, there's nothing in life like making love,”

FOR EVERY MAN ONE WOMAN.

The CHAIRMAN, in the course of a brief speech omphasized the fact that the Navy League was an absolutely non-party organization, though it wes political in a sense, because it desired to infuegos the action of the Government.
