The Sweetest Moment in Love-Making.

Periiaps there is no period, says Anthony Trollope, so pleasant among all the pleasant periods of love-making as that in which the intimacy between lovers is so assured, and the coming events so near, as to produce and induce the conversation about the ordinary little matters of life; what can be done with the limited means at their r isposal; how that life shall be begun which they shall lead together, what idea each has of other’s antics; what each can do for the other. There was a true sense of the delight of intimacy in the girl who declared that she never loved her lover so well as when she told him how many pairs of stockings she had got. It is very sweet to gaze at the stars, and it is sweet to sit out among the haycocks. The reading of poetry together, out of the samo book, with brows all close, and arms all mingled, is very sweet; the pouring out of whole hearts in writing words, which the writer knpws would be KelchW be ridiculous by any eyes or cars and sense but those of the dear one to whom they are sent, is very sweet; but for the girl who has made a shirt for the man she loves, there has come a moment in the last stitch of it sweeter than any stars, hayeock, poetry, or superlative epithets have produced.
