Man's Inconstancy.
A man falls in love because he cannot help it ; but the oft.repeated process seldom does him any permanent injury. The shape of a nose, the sweep of an eye, or the wave' of a cuvl tripa him up and settles his case without an instant of warning, and there he is, the bluest kind of a captive, until marriage or pome'new faecination breaks the charm that binds him. He is pretty sure to love like a burning brush-heap while he is about it ; but the trouble,,is, t his flame.is top ardent to be durable. He will Bwear to a blue-eyed sprite that he loves her for all eternity,, and within three months he will slide up tosbtne other lady in total i;£orge£fulnees that lie ever lost a wink of sleep by being jn love before.
