PECULIAR INFATUATION
DIFFERENT METHODS OF FOLLOWING THE INJUNCTION "LOVE ONE ANOTHER."
Do men ever fall in love with each other? Women do. Not long ago a young woman in New Jersey was married to a youthful labourer on her father's farm. Some time afterwards it was discovered that the husband was a female. The young wife reijsen, however, though earnestly entreated by her friends, to give up her chosen consort. The strangest part of the discovery was the fact that the bride knew her husband was a woman before she was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange infatuation for one of their own sex, they at least oftentimes give evidence of the fact that they love one another. There are many instances on record where one man has given his life for another,
It is a proud possession—the knowledge that one has saved a precious human life. Dimboola, Victoria, is the home of such a happy man. Mr S. Hughes, cordial manufacturer, of that town, August 22, 1890, writes :—" b'our yean ago, when practising for the local sports, I became prostrated i.i health, I was under the impression that heart disease would cut short my life. My liver was enlarged, and my doctor ordered me complete rest from business as well as training. My kidneys became disordered, and my water was filled with brick dust and gravel. Finding my complaint, instead of being checked, assumed a more serious form, I took a friend's advice and started upon a course of Warner's safe cure. Almost instantly relief followed, and after the third or fourth bottle, felt convinced that my disease, though far advauced, would soon be cured. The pains in the heart ceased entirely, the urine became clearer, and the enlargement of the liver disappeared, and the medicines have wrought an unexpected change in my condition. I always recommend Warner's Safe cure."
Friendship expresses itself in very peculiar ways sometimes; but the true friend is the friend in need.
