OUR DRAG NET. 
UNSATISFACTORY. 
“ Have other lovers—say, my love,— 
Loved thus before to-day?” 
“They may have, yes, they may, my love; 
Not long ago they may.” 
“ But though they worshipped thee, my love, 
Thy maiden heart was free ?” 
“Don't ask too much of me, my love ; 
Don’t ask too much of me.” 
“Yet now ’tis you and I, my love, 
Love’s wings no more will fly !” 
“If love could never die, my love, 
Our love should never die,” 
‘ ‘ For shame ! and is this so, my love, 
And love and I must go?” 
“ Indeed I do not know, my love ; 
My life, I do not know.” 
“ You will, you must be true, my love, 
Nor look and love anew !” 
“ I’ll see what I can do, my love ; 
I’ll see what I can do ” 
The Love of a Big Boy for His Mother, 
Of all the love affairs in the world, none can 
surpass the true love of a big boy for his mother. 
It is a love pure and noble, honorable in the 
highest degree to both. I do not mean merely 
a dutiful affection, I paean a foye which makesj 
a boy gallant to his mother, saying plainly to 
everybody that he is fairly in love with her. 
Next to the love of her husband, nothing so 
crowns a woman’s life with honor as this second 
love—this devotion of the son to her. And I 
never yet.knew a boy to “turn out” badly who 
began by falling in love with his mother. Any 
man may fall in love with a fresh-faced girl, and 
the man who is gallant to the girl may cruelly 
neglect the worn and weary wife. But the big 
boy who is a Jover of his mother at middle age 
is a true knight, who will love his wife as much 
in the sere-leaf Autumn as he did in the daisied 
Spring. There is nothing so beautifully chival¬ 
rous as the love of a big boy for his mother._
