(Gainesville Eagle)
This is the season when Cupid
forecloses his mortgages; the ses
j son whetf issues are pooled and
and matrimonial trusts are form
| ed; when the soft talk l and p%ie
|crust vows of the summer picnics
have to march up to the matri
monial lick-log and toe the mark.
Why is it —why is it that au
tumn should be pre-eminently the
time for the consoldiatirn of the
sweet and loyal yearling of lov
ing hearts, and the consummation
of all tliat is hoped for and wish
ed for by two souls With but a
single thought and two hearts
that beat in unison?
Apparently there is nothing in
autumn that inspires love or eon
spires to matrimony ,for when the
maple leaves are turning to gold
and the scarlet vines are running
like sad regrets from the heart of
the earth it seems a fit time for
sadness and repentance, when
the mind should take an invoice
ofi its assets and think of the
many able-bodied lies you’ve told
your sweetheart during the sun
inert
It seems tliat all this should
be so, but it isn’t, for autumn is
the season of the festive hymen
eal knot.
June, the “month of flowers,”
is called the month of matrimony,
and it was so away back among
the ancients, for its name is de
rived from jungo, to join. But
it isn’t so any more ,and for good
reasons, which we will state fur
ther on.
The old poet hath said,“Spring
is the time when the maiden's
mind gently turns to thoughts of
love.” Tliis is natural. Every
rthlihg then is poerie. The met

icy embrace of winter to the in

all these awaken very gentle sent:
meat of beauty in her throbbing
bosom. And why, should not her
mind ‘‘gefotlyi turn to thoughts of
love**? What else could she
think of with these surrounding?
What would it be proper to think
about? Certainly not the prosy
’details of practical life-.
Woman is sentimental. Man is
''practical. It has been said that
with man love is.an episode? with
woman, a history.
A man (never falls in love in
