e seen a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."--BASELEY. The light in the world comes principally from two sources,--the sun, and the student's lamp.--BOVEE. LOVE.--Love is the purification of the heart from self; it strengthens and ennobles the character, gives higher motives and a nobler aim to every action of life, and makes both man and woman strong, noble, and courageous.--MISS JEWSBURY. We never can willingly offend where we sincerely love.--ROWLAND HILL. It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know it has begun. A thousand heralds proclaim it to the listening air, a thousand messengers betray it to the eye. Tone, act, attitude and look, the signals upon the countenance, the electric telegraph of touch,--all these betray the yielding citadel before the word itself is uttered, which, like the key surrendered, opens every avenue and gate of entrance, and renders retreat impossible.--LONGFELLOW. Love and you shall be loved. All love is mathematically just, as much as the two sides of an algebraic equation.--EMERSON.

Let those love now who never loved before, Let those that always loved now love the more. --PARNELL. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above; For love is heaven, and heaven is love. --SCOTT. If thou neglectest thy love to thy neighbor, in vain thou professest thy love to God; for by thy love to God the love to thy neighbor is begotten, and by the love to thy neighbor, thy love to God is nourished.--QUARLES. Love's like the measles--all the wors
