ile Learned Too Late.
The summer was like no other sum
mor the world had ever known. Never
was June so sweet: never were mornings
so rosy and radiant! never were lights
so tender.
A young and beautiful girl stood look¬
ing at the sunset as the last farewell
glow hotbed the blue waves in golden
radiance. To look at her face one would
never dream that her position in life
was not among the proudest; but a
glance at her simple dress would dispel
the illusion. Fios.-y Thayer had been
biiiiight up by per gnuidf.uhar in a
quiet, secluded country neighborhood.
The old gentleman was wealthy. Flos
sy was the darling of Ids heart, and
great pains were lavished upon her ed¬
ucation. The grandfather's health was
hot good, and they traveled a great deal,
often spending the winter in the South,
They had been there when tho crash
came; Mr. Thayer lost his money. He
was the most honorable man alive; he
returned home, paid his liabilities to
the last farthing, sold the beautiful
country seat where Flossy had spout
he; childhood and established himself
in an old farmhouse by the sea, with
hardly enough money left to live upon.
So for four years Mr. Thayer and his
granddaughter had lived quietly enough
in their retreat. So far as tho gentle¬
man knew, Flossy had been happy, but
in truth sho was always waiting for
some wonderful change that was to free
her from the humdrum life in which
her life was passing. But it was never¬
theless true that no palace ever
ed a maiden more royally fair than she.
And so thought some one else as he
drew near her with quick, light foot
steps. Tall and straght, with dark,
laugning eyos and mouth shadowed by
a moustache, Mark Norton was iust lit
icd to win the fancy of a young, inex
peiiouced girl,
‘So you have been waiting for me?
Happy man to have ’wou the love of
one so fair and sweet.'
A glow of crimson tingod the girl's
face as tho eves "plainly uplifted to meet her
lover's told what was in her
heart. While tho young people eon
versed Mark took Flossy's hand in his
and told her something which mado the
teardrops quickly start
‘Do nut grieve, dear Flossy. T shall
only be gone a short time, and you
know that if it were not necessary
nothing could take mo from you. You
are not afraid that absence could alter
my love? Flossy, you do not doubt
me?’ •
Sho was young and unused to the
world, and it is no wonder that she
trusted Mark Norton, who, to her. was
the noblest and grandest of men. They
parted, Mark Norton, following
physician s advice had come that sum
mer to the quiet country town by the
sea to regain bis health, which had long
been delicate. In one of his rambles
lie ii d met Flossy, and being shy and
shrinking, it bad been the work of a
long time to establish himself upon
friendly terms w ith the girl, whose beau
ry surpassed anything lie had ever seen.
It was not long before, with a thrill of
vanity, Mark could see the hold he bad
gained in her innocent heart One day,
in answer to his whispered question.
Flossy acknowledged that her heart
was his, and he piaeed a golden band
of betrothal upon her slender linger.
For a time after bis departure letters
from her lover came regularly to Flossy;
but after a while the letters came less
frequently, and then when three months
had passed the !ooked-foc letter came.

Ic read. eh, how coldly, and contained
his farewell.’ ’I am going abroad. I
shall probably be absent several years.
Our immediate marriage is now, of
course, an ioipossibilU). I could not
ask you, nor do 1 feel it right to held
you through an indefinite time, to your
pledge, therefore 1 free you,’
Ouce. twice she read tho letter
through- then, with white face and tear
!e.-s eyes, held it to the match with a
stoady hand, nor let fall until tho llame
crept so close that it blackened the ten-
1 der flesh and tho letter lay singed and
charred under her feet. That day sho
went iuto her grandfather's room and
laid her head ou his. ‘Don’t talk to
mo, grandpa,’ sho said, ‘and don t ask
me any questions, but we will keep
house alone, you and I. and we’ll forget
that we intended to let anybody else in.’
‘The scoundrel? If you had been
rich, my child, this sorrow would not
have come upon you. But, mark my
words, some time you will have your
revenge.’
Four years have swiftly passed.
I .Seated in a room in oue of tho popular
hotels in Now York were two young
•men Suddenly one of them, looking
! out of the window, exclaimed;
‘Look, Aubrey ! See if you know
I who that lady is. What a lovely won
man. Do you know her?'
‘Ishould think that I did, and think
myself honored that 1 do. She is the
i belle of New York and the most beauti
I ful gir I have ever known.’
1 A srai'e curled Mark Norton's lips
; he turned, from tho window.
‘You speak warmly, Aubrey,’ he said
‘You would not blame me for speak"
ing warmly if you know her,’ he an¬
swered. ‘Her history is a romantic
one. If you like 1 will t*-ll it to you.
* 1 lor name is Miss Flossy Thayer.
1 When l first, knew her she was not
1 wealthy, though in my eyes even then
j her had beauty surpassed anything that 1
ever seen. It was uoo long after
you went on your travels that an undo
of tume, who purchased a place by the
sea, invited me to spend the xu miner
with him. It was a very quiet, seclu¬
ded village, and lsoon became acquain¬
ted with Flossy. Not long after that
tho oM grandfather died, and my kind
aunt took tho Borrowing girl ir.to her
house. My uncle had the papers in his
possession ot soma mining shares that
tho old gentleman had long deemed
worthless, which suddenly arose, first to
par, then so widely above as to enable
Flossy to regain her footing in the
world. As before, all that the grand¬
father had crumbled iuto powder, now
all that ho nad loft was converted iuto
gold.’
As mark Norton listened varied ex¬
pressions flitted across his face. He
knew that tho maiden whoso heart he
woh and cast aside for his own
I amusement and this beautiful heiress
j must be one and tho samo person!
j Might it not bo that if he exerted his
| art of fascination to the utmost ho could
j regain the love ho had ouce held ?
j ‘Aubrey,’ ho said, *1 should like to
j meet this Miss Thayer. Could you
manage to present me to her?’.
That night the two friends entered
j tho drawing-room, in which a briliiaut
crowd was assembled. A little later
i Mark Norton stood beside Flossy. She
; had never looked more beautiful than
j »he did then in her creamy costume of
I satin and fleecy laco, looped with din

j ‘Mies Thayer, allow mo to present

; Flossy bowed as to an utter stranger.

I ‘As he has made mo suffer, so shall
I his suffering be.’
‘She loves me still,’ thought Mark

srnilo turned into icy scorn, the look he
had interpreted ot love altered into
coutetnpt, the sweet toues grew harsh
as in a few catting phrases she spoke
| the words that doomed him.
*1 love you, Flossy—believe me, I
j love you for yourself, be replied, aud for
once the man was sincere.
A look of scorn flashed from Flossy's
eyes as she withdrew her arm from his.

has come too late. As I ouce ioved, I
now despise you.' flushed

White Lies.
Not a day passes, probably, in which
wo do not listen to several of th'»so j
polite libs which usage suctions. Bur j
instance; ‘Cigats do not a fleet me in ,
the loast; indeed, l am quite partial to
the aroma,' says tne white liped girl to
her gentleman friend, who smokes con
scantly at her side; her sufferings only
equalled by those of tho other girl who
persists in tiding with her back to the
horses and says that the motion does
not a fleet tier in the least, though know¬
ing that many times before she has j
been reduced to a state of miserable
sea-sickness bv a similar proceeding.
‘Not at homo to day, John,’ and the
footman receives and delivers tho mess¬
age to visitors as unconsciously as
though there were no moral wrong in¬
volved in tho transaction. I recently
hoard an animated conversation con
corning tho propriety and morality of
polite lying. Several, including a
ister, assorted that both ooliteness and
kindness demanded that wo frequently
say that which we do not mean, admire
that wo do not like, assent to that with
which we do not agree, and in many
i ways speak and act lies to avoid wowtt
ding the feelings of other people. One
lady present, who immediately received
the sobriquet of 'puritan,’ maintained
that, while it is not necessary to say all
that we think; while tvo need never
give adverse opinion unless it is posi¬
tively called lor; while we need not
obtrude our likes and dislikes, nor ex¬
press our unfavorable criticism- while,
uuieud, wo should- seel; (bn. something ami
which wo can honestly admire
praise in every one, all shams and sub¬
terfuges, all seoiuings that were not re¬
alities. and especially all words spoken
with intent to deceive are, in plain Six
oM, lies, and no aiU"tinc of kindliness
of purpose can change their moral ch.tr¬
ivet er. A lie is a lie—nothing mure,
nothing lc33 ,—Ex change.
