Comparative Love.

It dees not make any difference how much a smoker loves his wife, he loves his tobacco almost as well. —Donahue's Magazine. What, Brother Donahoe? What’s that':* But don't say it again. It shocks us. It is not in goed taste. It will make many a woman angry. It is too absurd to compare a man's liking for a pipe or a cigar to his love for the wife of his choice, the darling of his soul, the mother of his children. We cannot argue the matter. The quoted words are neither sense nor logic, neither poetry nor tolerable prose. They are wild. They must have been uttered by somo poor mi eiablo {devotee of tobacco, who has no appreciation of true love. It is known that some women like to wear feathers in their hats: but suppose ycu said of som> wifq that she loved the /eathors in her hat almost as well a.i she loved her husband! Whjj, sho wt Uhl feel insulted. Yet she would bo guilty of nothing meaner than tho husband is who loves the smoke of tobacco almost as well as his wife. Away with all stuff of the kind!—New York Sun.
