The moon, in the tette mime imp looks on many brooks, the break sea no moon but the one above biro to the heavens. la one sense his Merit to winning her affection for him- self from the hundreds of men she Mew, was the greater; in maay years 4 had only seen tale one woman. Naturally she should be everything to him Sbe represented to him not °lily the woman bat womankind. Hs hale, been a boy practically when be had buried himself in those eboantains, sad in all that time he had seen ace' body like Enid Mattlaad. Seery ar- gamest which had been exploited two show why she should love him could' be turned about to account for his paaslon for ber. They are not aeceas- Ury, they are all supererogatory, Idle words. To him also love bad been, thorn !n an hour. It had flashed Into existence as U from the flat of the Divine. Oh, he had fought against tt. Like ere eremites of old be had been scourged into the desert by remoras ,sad another passion, but time had done Its work. The woman he first loved had ministered Dot to the spir- itual side of the man. tar if she had so ministered in any degree it was be- cause be had looked at her with a glamour of inexperience and youth. During those five years of solitude, of study and of reflection, the truth bad gradually 'unrolled itself before him.' Conclusions vastlyat variance with what he had ever believed possible as to the woman upon whom he had drat bestowed his heart, had got into his being and were in solution there; this present woman was the precipitant' which brought them to life. He knew mow .what the old appeal of kis wife had been. He 'knew now what the new appeal of this woman was. In humanity two things in 1W are Inextricably intermingled, body and soul. Where the _function. of one be- gins and the function of the other ends no one is able to say. In all human passions are admixtures or the earth earthy. We are born the• sons of old Adam as we are reborn' the sons of the New. Passions are, complex. As in harvest wbeat aiadl tares grow together until the end, fes' fa love earth and heaven mingle ever. He remembered a clause from an aa- cleat sscleat 1parriage service he had read y body I ties wonbip," sad with every fibre Of his pbyslcal being, be loved this woman. It t would be idle to deny that, possible to disguise the facts, but in the melting pot d passion the pre- ponderant ingredient was mental and spiritual; and just because higher and holler things predominated. be held her in his heart a sacred thing. Love la like a rose: the material part is the beautiful blossom; the spiritual Lehr, Is the fragrance which abides in the tese jar even after ever7 leaf has fad- ed away, or which may be expressed from the soft petals by the bard cr- gamstanosa of pain and sorrow until there is left nothing but the lingering perfume of the flower.
