thn most vli1ilv nnpimlfwl
of all tho truisms by which wo Hvo. Tho
Dlble states it, not onco, but runny
times, nnd Ulblo nnrnttivo sots forth n
great innny pretty lovo stories, liOKlnnlnK
wi h that of Adam, who preferred ox
commnnlcntlon with Evo to full intra
dlslcal privileges without hor. Jncob
courted Rachel for 14 yenrs, nnd thoy
seemed but n fow days "for tho lovo ho
had unto hor." All history indeed, both
profano and sacred, nbounds in stories
of lovo its might, its endurnnco, its ef
fect upon tho world nnd upon ench per
on in it.
But, after nil, is it not rnthor renmrk
able that tho consensus of tho world's
opinion is that lovo is good? Should wo
not rather say that lovo is tho enemy of
man and tho fnvorito deputy of tho nrch
enemy?
Adam loved Evo and lost pnrndlso;
Paris loved Helen, nnd thousands of lives
vroro offered ns n hecatomb to her
charms; Cleopatra loved Antony nnd
lost both Egypt nnd hor own llfoj Henry
VIU loved n good innny wives and cut
-off their heads so that ho might lovo yet
.anothor ono bettor, nnd to on.
"Chorchez la femrao," commanded tho
srabtlo diplomat when a puzzling crimo
or complicated mystery wns brought be
fore him. And ho was wise, but in rath
er a ono sided fashion, for if women havo
often incited men to crimo or conspiracy
thoy havo also very ofton committed
Crimea themselves for tho sake of somo
man, and havo also allowed thomsolves
to be used as tools that tho man thoy
loved might attain tho succoss of a crimo
in which thoy did not sympathize In
fact, I do not know whothor tho disas
trous effecti of lovo havo fallen most
heavily upon tho mascullno or tho feml
filne majority of mankind, but It is safo
to say that 90 per cent of tho results of
love have been disastrous to tho race.
And yot, and yet! Do wo wish to do
way with lovo? Had we tho remodel
ing of a world, of which wo so loudly
oomplaln at times, should wo modify
xisting conditions very essentially? I
.fancy not, especially in this matter of
Jovo with its disastrous results. It is, in
fact, our "dearest foe," and surely good
Christians nro bound to lovo their eno
mica and cherish thoso who dospitefully
ose them.
Cupid is not a benevolent deity, quite
the reverse. In fact, ho far more nearly
resembles Puck and Ariol, thoso "tricksy
sprites" whose chief delight seems to bo
in tormenting and teasing tho very mor
tals they prefer to servo. Out yet, and
yetl We cannot do without Cupid. Wo
could far "better spare a bettor man,"
And those whom ho kindly refrains from
-tormenting are always vainly coaxing
Jilm to visit thorn.
Let us say, then, that lovo, ltkoflro and
water and air. is a irood servant, but a
ad master. But here again our own
'words mock ns. for are wo not alwnva i
declaring that lovo is lord of all, and, if
sk, how dare we speak of him as a bad
natter?
Wa can in a measure control conflagra
tions and floods and avoid cyclones,
while adapting fire and water and air to
our own uses, but who has got out a pat
ent for a love escape, or a love embank
ment, or a beneficent love trade w.'nd, or
safety latitude for lovers?
So love is inevitable, lovo is dangerous;
love is essential to happiness, love is dan
aprons to peace; love is a bad master,
lore is lord of all; lovo should be kept in
abjection, love laughs at locksmiths;
love, in a word, is a necessary evil, a
most beloved torment, an idol at whoeo
feet we throw ourselves oven while
knowing that under those feet yawns the
golf of despair.
Love is with us and has como to stay
came to stay, in fact , before we were born,
before the worlds were inado, for love
is the origin of all things and the end
to which all things are tending. Know
ing all this, it certainly is the part of
discretion to try to defend ourselves as
well as we can from the tyrannous ex
actions of this servant, who is lord of
all, and, even while eagerly welcoming
film to our hearts and beseeching him to
sake therein bis home, to set np such
defenses and provido ourselves with such
retreats and hiding nooks that we may
At least save a remnant of our souls to
tall oar own.
First of all, I would say to women
having their happiness more at heart in
4hk matter than that of men don't love
too much!
Most women foel, if they don't exactly
my, that they can't love too much; they
tncoarage themselves to fancy that their
trhoto lives, their happiness here and
jMreafter, their every chance of even
Moderate content, is bound up in tho love
of the moment.
Believe me, my friend, this is n great
sslsiake. In fact, it is a series of mis
, iakss, for yon of course begin by assur
lag yowself and the object of your do
otioa that ye am loving aim with the
4M laws year Hfe. All that has goae

after will But no, thoro is nothing to
como nftor; this love, this lovo of loves,
la to endure for life nnd lroyond death.
Acting ntmti this theory, tho patient (for
truly "lovo in n short inndncss") fools
that nho cannot lovo too much or too
loudly, nnd rather pntH herself tiK)n the
back that ho it nhlo to do tho thing no
thoroughly.
Now, tho first part of this couiomid
mlstnko Is in thinking of your present
lovo affair ns Immortal. Lovo in liu
ioortal, I grant you, but tho lovo of nny
rno mortal for nnothor ioor mortal Is
naturally ns mortal ns thoy nro; more no,
for nny mortal of nverngo longevity out
lives quite n number of so called Immor
tal passions. Lovo In Itself Is certainly
Immortal, nnd tho human heart forever
longs to 1h illled with tho divine Ichor
of its presenco; but this very desire is
deceitful, nnd tho heart is cotiHtnntly
crying out: "I havo Itl Behold tho pearl
of great price I" when It only possesses a
Roman pearl of very insignificant prlco.
Tho lover is nlwnys nn Idealist, espo
dally the fotnlnlno lover, nnd ndores not
tho actual object of hor nffoction, but
what sho fancies him to bo.
Then comes tho day when tho Roman
pearl crncks or tnrnishes or in weighed
In tho balanco nnd found wanting, nnd
tho idenl Is destroyed nnd tho Idealist
heartbroken for tho tlmo being!
But If lovo laughs nt locksmiths fate
laughs nt lovers nnd knows very well
that tho broken heart will heal, pomo
times without oven n senr, nnd bo nil
ready pretty soon for nnothor attempt to
fit tho Impossible idenl head iton too
narrow or too crooked human shoulders.
A groat mistako is to consider lovo ns
a concreto condition; it is ntistrnct. Wo
lovo bocauso lovo is Immortal nnd wo nro
mado with ns much necessity of loving
as wo havo of breathing. Both nro laws
of our being nnd must bo fulllUod. But
wo do not say, "I will brentho this pnr
ticnlnr region of ntr nnd nover nny
othor," for, howoverngroonbloor howovcr
treclous this ostwcinl air may bo, wo
now very well that If fnto removes us
from It wo shall find nil around tho
globo ntr as woll fitted to sustain life,
and that, moreover, wo shall go on
breathing, bo tho nlr mora or loss con
genial, simply bocnuso it is our nat tiro to
brentho.
Now, probnbly this sounds very cold
blooded nnd very commonplace, cspo
clnlly to persons just now satisfied thnt
thoy havo found tho ono great good nnd
unchangeable gift of this llfo nnd nn
othor ; but, howovcr chilling to senti
ment, it is tho truth, nnd, nftor nil, tho
coldest nnd hardest truth is better than
tho rosiest delusion, for tho ono mellows
with ago nnd tho othor simply decays
nnd becomes repulsive Lovo in tho ab
stract is immortnl; lovo in tho concreto
is very transitory, nnd when, ns in a fow
cases, tho semblanco of lovo endures
tlirough llfo, it is bocnuso it has chnngod
from lovo to friendship, which is in good
earnest an eternal tio between two souls.
Two dear, deluded, blind lovers mar
ry, each supposing ho or sho has found
tho ideal being of an exalted fancy. Tho
love and tho delusion last for a certain
tlmo and then vanish ns gradually and
imperceptibly as cthor out of an imper
fectly stoptwred bottlo; but if, during
this process of disillusionment, tho open
ing eyes of man and woman discover in
tho soul laid open to thoir inspection
thoso congenial and admirablo qualities
thnt counterpart of itself which tho
soul at onco nccopts ns a friend then
theso two gradually oxchnngo tho folly
of lovo for tho reality of friendship.
Tho two becomo tenderly attached to
each othor in a perfectly rational and
tangiblo fashion. Thoy nro good com
rades, sympnthotlo confidents, stanch and
faithful allies. Very likely they still
faucy themselves in love, but they are
not a bit in lovo. They ore far better off
than lovers; thoy are dovoted and truo
friends.
Now, thon, having traveled round tho
circle, wo como back to our first consid
eration, and that is tho great mistako of
loving too much, or rather of loving too
much at once.
A few days ago I saw somo versos in
ono of tho newspapers, by whom or what
about I havo forgotten, but tho refrain
of each was
Evan this will pass awayl
and tho next morning I awoke finding
thoso words upon my lips and their bit
tersweet flavor upon my tongue. "Even
this will pass away" is the label that
Destiny, with her inscrutablo smilo and
pitying eyes, indelibly writes across every
treasure she vouchsafes to us, and love
is of these tho greatest So, while ho is
ours; while tho shining wings are folded
so closo that they disappear; while he,
with adoring eyes and caressing lips,
swears that his stay shall be eternal, let
us not forget to whisper to ourselves (but
by no means to him), "Even this will
pass away."
Of course I know that nobody will
heed my advice or turn aside in tho
smallest dogreo for my warning. From
the timo of Cassandra down the pooplo
who raise their voices in tho attempt to
warn their fellow mortals of the danger
of their courso receive cither tndlffcrouco
or ridiculo as their meed, and if they
persist too vehemently are set down as
mad and in those days carried to Bloom
ingdalo. Nevertheless I run tho risk
and onco again whisper in tho ear of
every lovor, or rather of every lovorcea:
Don't lovo too muchl Don't morgo your
wholo existence; don't set all your hopes;
don't cast asido all other joys and hopes
for the sake of this love of today which
you fondly believe to bo eternal, but
which, in point of fact, is no more eternal
than the sunshine which is bound to fail
you after a few hours, leaving only night
behind. The sun will rise again, no
doubt, and its sweetness and light may
be even more charming tomorrow than
today, but it will be another day; this
one will have passed away for ever.
Ten, fifteen, twenty years from now
you will, if you are a truo woman, lovo
something or somebody with all your
loving heart, but it won't bo thU some
body unless, as I said before, your and
his love changes into a noblo friend
ship. Look back, if you have already
reached middle age, and recall honestly
and reasonably tho Taaractar.'theintel
lect, the'sumaers of year isavUetVlors
and consider whether, if you were to
meet him today just ns ho wns then, yon
could lovo him.
I niu sura you would not, for tho man
you could now lovo would not then havo
loved you, nnd tho mnn you loved then
has very tiosslbly riovolopcd Into n mnn
you could by no mentis lovo, Just ns very
possibly you havo quite changed from
tho woman of his present idenl,
And yot, iiotwlbly enough, when fate
or cruel parents or his own fickleness
divided you from that early lovor, you
vowed to yourself nnd him thnt yon never
would change, you never would censo tc
bo his In heart if not In body; that you
would go through llfo cherishing nn un
dying devotion to him, nnd that in that
mysterious beyond whither wo trans
plant the hopes too bright to bloom on
enrth you would bo his nnd only his.

A vory pretty progrnmmo, In which n

events In Honolulu. Tho young lndy in

official titlo Is Princess Knlulnnl, nnd sho it
or wns heir nppnrcnt to tho Hawaiian
throno. Sho is a comely mniden of 17,
with dnrk eyes nnd complexion, nnd pos
sesses tho accomplishments usually ac
quired by girls of her ago in English
boarding schools. Her father, Archibald
Scott Cleghorn, Is a Scotchman who hat
long been a resident of Honolulu, and
attained prominence there by marrying
Lilinoknlani's sister, who bears tho rath'

It was Mr. Cleghoro's expressed pur
pose to journey to England in May of this
year to deliver his daughter from th
bondage of tho boarding school and bring
hor to tho United States, presenting hei
to the president at Washington and show
ing her tho wonders of tho World's fail
at Chicago, thon continuing the journey
to Honolulu, where tho princess would
ascend tho throno on Oct 16, 1803, hei
18th birthday.
The failure of this schemo is perhapt
fraught with mora interest to tho Prin

consideration of chief interest to intelli

that with the expiration of Queen Liliu

of woman in tho government of Hawaii

writing. Lawrenco Barrett read and

tho Madison Square theator, Now York,
with distinguished success. But a wavo
of ill luck, which often pursues people
obstinately, followed her for years. Dur

Wabiiinoton, Fob. 10. A good denl
of tho gossip wo henr nt tho enpitnl now
ndnys concerns tho men who nro tp lie
prominent In tho now regime. For In
stance, there is much tnlk nbout Judgo
Greshnm, who Is to bo secretary of stato
under President Clovoland. My readers
JVDOR W. Q. onKflHAM.
will rcmomticr that I told thorn a few
weeks ago this wns not nn improbnblo
selection. Wo know now Mr. Cleveland
has for threo weeks been trying to In
dnco Judgo Gresham to accept nnd has
finally succeeded.
What a quoer man this Clovoland isl
You may search tho history of our coun
try in vain for nnothor liko him. Ho is
self willed, indocndcnt nnd ns coura
geous ns n lion. In this neloction of Gresh
nm, for Instnnco, ho knew ho would be
sure to offend mnnyof tho "old lino"
Democrats, whoso traditions toach them
thnt nono but n party mnn of long stand
ing should bo put on guard. Ho know
the choice of Greshnm would bo savagely
criticised, not on ncconnt of lack of con
fidence or admiration for Greshnm him
self, but on nccount of political consid
erations. He know thoro would bo a
howl of Indignation from tho straight
outs, and yet ho wont ahoad pleasing
himself and doing what he thought was
right.
Now, whether Mr. Cleveland acts the
part of wisdom or of foolishness in this
I am not prepared to say. That Is not
my affair. But I am sure the people
irrespective of politics like a man who
has this fearless style of paddling hia
own canoo. They admire courage, inde
pendence and boldness wherever dis
played. I should fall to give you an accurate
reflection of tho gossip of tho capital if 1
did not tell you that In tho opinion of
many keen observers Mr. Cleveland's ad
ministration is to bo stormy ono that
he is to havo a heap of trouble with his
friends tho enomy, nnd nonrly if not
quito as much with tho enomy hia party
friends.
It is tho partisan writer who tells you
all is lovely within tho camp to which
he belongs, and that all is wrong in the
camp of the opposition. The independ
ent writer, tho mere gossipcr who love
gossip for its own sako and not for it
bearing or effect, tells you tho truth
And therefore I tell you there will be
some high jinks in the senate chamber
and particularly In tho oxocutive ses
sions of our house of lords during the
noxt few months.
Among the pleasant little rows which
Mr. Cleveland is to have on his hands is
a quarrel with the Democratic senators
from his own state. Here in Washing
ton, where wo are all very liko the street
gamins who help to get up a fight for
the mere pleasure of watching it after it
is started, we are looking forward with
great Interest to the Ides of March.
While waiting for the bugle blast, we
talk over the last great contest seen here
between a president and senators of his
own party. Wo have been remindod of
tho Garfiold-Conkling-Platt quarrel, first
by the death of Mr. Blalno, who was ono
of the actors in that tragedy, and anain
i by the legal inquiry into the sanity of a
murderer wmen nas been going on here
for several weeks.
A young man named Schneider, broth
er of a man 1 once wrote you a lettor
about, telling you how he hud built in
Washington nearly 8,000 houses and made
for himself in doing so a fortuno of a
round million, shot and killed his wife
and her brothor. Ho was convicted and
denied a new trial. Now thoy are in
quiring into his sanity, and tho odd thing
about it is that his cano is a good deal
liko that of Guiteau, and that two of tho
chief actors in tho Guitenu trial tho
judge who presided and tho government
expert who testlflod are filling tho same
roles in this caso,
Liko Guiteau, young Schnoider's In
sanity has developed since tho commis
sion of his crimo. Liko Guiteau, ho
comes of a family in which there was a
strain of Insanity. Liko Guiteau, ho has
played queer pranks in tho courtroom,
attempting to assault tho court ofticero,
seemingly knowing nothing at times of
what is going on before him. Like
Guiteau, too, ho is accused of shamming,
of malingering playing a rolo of tragic
grotesquorie with his lifo for tho stako.
To come back to Judgo Gresham
what queer pranks fato plays; how the
wmrugtg or time and politics brinars out
the unoxpectodl Only oight years ago
juugo uresnam wus a Hopublican cabi
net officer. Four years ago ho was a for

presidential nomination. La-t summer

came out for Clovoland. Now ho is to bo

Washington who think ho will bo tho
Democrat io candidate for presidout four
years hence.
Judgo Gra'ham is ono of tho most lov
able mm in nil tho world, and I am not
surprised that Mr. Cleveland should havo.
becomo infatuated with him. Out iu
Chicago men of nil parties look up to
nun ns tno tlrst citizen, though his lcgnl
resldenco Is In Indinnn. Ho is a big,
brnvo, sincere, genorous, manly mnn.
Ho hns two kinds of conrngo physical,
and moral, Ho wns drendfully wounded
In tho samo lmttlo in which Benjnmin
Harrison, afterward his political rival In
Indinnn, won his spurs.
In civic lifo ho would sacrifico his best
friend nnd everything olso In tho world
In dofonso of his conception of right nnd
duty. Ho hns honesty nnd uprightness
so thoroughly woven In with every fiber
of his being thnt if ho thinks n mnn is a
rascal or has dono a scoundrelly thing
ho likes to sond for him nnd tell him so.
Ho Is tho kind of n mnn too honest to bo
comfortable, particularly in such a post
as head of a big department of the gov
ernment, and when ho was postmaster
general ho rattled tho dry bones nnd
showed schomcrs, jobbers nnd lobbyists
tho door In a fashion thnt mado him a
fow hntors nnd n host of admirers.
How In tho world Judgo Greshnm is
to mnko both onds moot financially as
secretary of stnto is more thnn I enn un
derstand. Ho is a poor man, as an hon
est mnn is likely to bo. Ho has a homo
in Chicago, recently built, but not all
paid for. Ho has a littlo farm down in
Indinnn, nnd ho has his salary. That Is
all.
Now, it costs monoy to bo secretary of
stato in Washington. Tho 8,000 a year
compensation allowed by Undo Sam
won't pay tho bills. Still, tho new secre
tary of stato will worry nlong somehow,
though I venture tho prediction that ho
will show us how simply and inexpen
sively, nnd yet fittingly, an American
poor-man gentleman can livo oven while
occupying tho proud post of premier.
But why don't our lawmakers mnk
ono effort to renlizo that this Is no longer
a nation of a few coastwise settlements,
nnd to raiso tho salaries of cabinet offi
cers to a figure that suits their station
nnd at least meets thodomands mado
upon thoir purse?
With his simplo, sincere, frank mnn
ncrs, his common hoiibo, his fino eyes and
commanding presenco, I am sure Secre
tary Gresham will pleaso tho diplomats,
though it doesn't much matter whothor
ho does or not. And Mrs. Gresham, ono
of the finest types of American woman
hood, with much sympathy and littlo
pretenso, tho soul of simplicity and sin--cerity,
liko her husband, will mako a
hostess of which the new administration
will be proud. It is a rather odd coin
cidence that Mrs. Gresham and Mrs.
John W. Foster, wife of the presont sec
rotary of state, were schoolgirls together
and have boon near friends ever since.
As I have already said, politics makes
strango bedfellows. Now, there is
Bourko Oockran, tho gifted orator of
Tammany Hall. Was there ever a finer
oration in tho annals of our political
campaigns than that which Mr. Cockran
delivered in tho Chicago convention Inst
summer? It wns Grover Clovoland whom
ho attacked, playod, tortured, diagnosed
and finally vivisected in a style that bo
spoko tho master hand ho is. Yet this
samo Bourke Cockran is likely to bo tho
parliamentary leader of tho noxt houso
of representatives, and it is with Mr.
Cleveland's consent, almost at his insti
gation, that tho Tammany orator is to
be thus promoted.
'Tis queer, but true, that not only has
Clevoland forgivon Cockran for tho Chi
cago philippio, but likes him, and truo,
moreover, that so far from being eager
to destroy tho monster Clovelaud Mr.
Cockran is vory fond of tho president
elect and thinks him ono of tho finest
and greatest mon ho ever met
Bocauso Bourko Cockran is tho spokes
man of Tammany Hall people who do
not know him think he must necessarily
be a big, coarse, low grained follow, a
frequenter of bars and an associate of
toughs. Far from it. Mr. Cockran is
big, and that is tho only port of tho in
dictment which stands. Ho is a studont
who spends nearly all his spare timo in
his library, which is ono of the best pri
vate libraries in Washington. He is a
lover of art, and his home is full of choice
articles of virtu. He is fond of society
and moves in the best circles, being a
favorite at teas and dinners.
Mr. Cockran Is making statesmanship
his profession. He is studying govern
ments and history, and all that sort of
thing. He has dedicated his magnificent
abilities to tho public service. He aims
to excel. I proposo that we keep an eye
on this big, sliver tongued Irishman.
Next to Tom Reed ho is now tho best de
bater in congress. Ho will bo parlia
mentary leader of the next house in all
probability. Ho will bo senator from
Now York. But ho will nover bo presi
dent. Speaking of Tom Rood reminds mo oi
still another caso of queer political bed
fellowship. It is a remarkablo thing that
during tho last few months Rood has been
drifting away from his own sido of the
houso and taking upmoround more with
Democrats. Many of the Democrats who
a couplo of years ago were howling at
him and talking of pulling him out of
the speaker's chair are now numbered
among his best friends and warmest ad
mirers. Rood and Cockran are great cronies,
and scores of othor Democrats are dis
covering that the ox-speaker is one of tho
finest follows in Christendom. More
over, Reed and one-half tho Democratic
members were on tho samo side in the
silver fight lost week. It is an open se
cret that Mr, Burrows of Michigan, an
other able debater, is aspiring to wrest
tho leadership from Mr. Reed, with a
riow to making himself speaker should
tho Republicans again control the houso.

Caused by
Catarrh In the Head
Catarrh is a Constitutional disease,
and requires a Constitutional Remedy
like Hood's Sarsaparllla to cure It. Read i
"Three years ago, as a result ot catarrh, I
entirely lost my hearing and was deaf for mors
than a year. I tried various things to cure It,
and had several physicians attempt it, but no
Improvement was apparent. I caul dlatia.
gaUh ao aouuri. I was Intending puttlni
myself under the caro of a specialist whea
some one suggested that possibly Hood's 8ar
sa par 1 1 la would do me some good. I began
taking It without the expectation of any lastliif
help. To my earprlae aad area! jay I found
whin I had taken three bottles that my hear
las was returning. I kept on till I had
taken three more. It Is now orer a year and I
can hear perfectly well. I am troubled but
very little with the catarrh. I consider this t
rcoarkable cae, and cordially recommend
Hood's Sarsaparilla
to all who have catarrh." Herman Hicks, 80
