So two or three weary weeks dragged along:, and Clara and Walter met a few times in society, but were as calm -and dignified as strangers.

It was bitter cold, and the rest of the party, tiret out, were doting under their warm wrappings. Only these two hearts silently kept watch over the other.

She just bud hei face on his shoulder and faiutd with joy. He kissed her back to consciousness, and in three months cousiu Eifie was their bridesmaid. What True Love Is. Many women sutpose that they love their hiisban ds, when, unfortunately, they have uot the beginning of an idea what love is. Let me explain it to you, my deirlady Loving to bo admired by a man, loving to be petted by him, and loving to be praised by him, is not loving a man All these may be when a womo has no power of loving at all, they may all be simply because she loves herself, and loyes to be fla ur-Jg priised, catesed, ciaxtdf as a cat lists to be coaxed and stroked, and fed with cream, and have a warm corner. But all this is not love. It msy exist, to be sure, where there is love; it generallv does. But it may also exist where there is no love. Love, my dear ladies, is telf S'tcrijice; it is a Hfe out of self and ir. another. its very essence is the preferring of the comfort, th ease, the wishes of another to one's own, for the love we beir them. L ive is given and not receiving. Love is not a sheet of blotting pa per or a sponge, sucking in everything to itself. Love's motto has been dropped in this world as a chance gem of great price by the loveliest, the lairest,the purest, the strongest of lovers that ever trod this mortal earth, of whom it is recorded that He said, 'It is more blessed to give lhau to receive.' Now in love, there aro ten receivers to one giver There are ten persona in this world who like to be l ve i and love, where there is one who knows hoto to love That, oh my dar ladies, is a nobl.r artainment thaa all your Freno'u and music aud dancing You may lose the very power of it under a lo td of early self indulgence By living ju-t as you art all warning to hya living to be petted, to b' flutered, io ba admired, to be praised, to have your own way. and to do ouly that which is easy aud agreeable, jou may lose the power of self-deuial, and seiT-sacriSee; you may lose the power of loviog nobly and worthily, and become a mete sheet of blot t fug piper all your hie.

And this man sees that the Repub lican cause at once patriotic, and lull ol the glorious traditiotis of the pure devotion and heroism and results of the war, an 1 progressive in the truest American seuse, the ciu?a which is that of all our best principles and of our most legitimate hope is satisfactorily represented to the popular mind by the honest purpose, the sturdy good sense and simplicity of General Grant. It does not deny that it wishes some things might be different in his administration, as, indeed in every administration . It does not defend or praise every measure; but it judges him by the character cf his whole administration, and it declares that it finds him sensible, sincere, upright; a mam who does not believe that the old day of slavery was better than the new day of liberty; who does not wish to try how far he can venture io return toward a policy which the country has r'jected; but who does wish to confirm and strenghten the country in its new and true policy of equal rights for all men. During Mr Lincoln's first term, and in the very cri-i of the war, tlurj wero those who thought that it would be wisa to try a new candidate who had uot been so severely criticised. But those who heard the thrilling shout of unanimity with which he waa renominated in Baltimore knew that it was lha voice of th-U great popular confidence which was only the surer because it was not blinded by idolatry. The good sense of the people renominated Lincoln, as it elected Grant. The same sagacity is now turning to Grant, as a man who has faithfully served the country, and whom the country heartily trus's.

This is a state of sickness when physic may bo thrown to tho dogs, for we will have none of it What shall raise the sleeping Laz.irus?

What shall make the suo kiss the eastern hills again for us, with all his old awakening gladness, and the night overflow with 'moonlight, music, love and llocrr? Love itself is the great stimulant, the most intoxicating of ail, and performs all these miracles; but it is a miracle itself, and is :mt at the drug store, whatever they say.

How he longs for other hearts to j -in in the watching, and praying, and tearful wrestliug,fty which seasons of awakening and ingathering are ushered in! And sometimes he falls under the load, and fails to accomplish a tithe of what would have been accomplished, if there had been evou but a few in his church that , really sympathized with him in his desires and efforts for the revival of God's work among them.
