Love in man is an ennobling pluton ; it is as dew upon the flowers, as purple drawn upon the sky, as the quiet anaemic% in the valley, as an orchard re. splendent with duly blossoms; it is a morning prayer; it is an evening hymn it is a child asleep and dreaming of heaven. It may be as a deluge that spreads around a viewless waste, with out a dove, olive.branch or rainbow . It may be as a fruitful field withered with a poisoned wind; it may be WS a delectable mountain thrown asun der by the inward fire; it may be as the home ' sickness of the exile; &may be despair; it may be insanity that 'sings long and low its melan- chap airs; it may be insanity that laughs aloud and then expire& - Loire while its object lives in purity makes a poet of him with whom it dwells —the ploughboy in the field—the sailor in the shrouds, has his dreams and glories, he has in his own way the most passionate imaginings— it kindles up the dormant fecultles.iei; rouse, fancy in the stupid—it loosens the tongued the stammerer—it lends to the moat illiterate speech and • e k, qu ene..—eepresses sensualitynied tames even the savage—it gives Joy and fear and hap piness—it renders even the mean hernia.' and fills th e m with self-respect.
