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. or;: o'nn sku nox \\i: labor m. its adv wcemhnt.

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 | tnond stars. j ‘Mies Thayer, allow mo to present yon to Mr. Norton.’ ; Flossy bowed as to an utter stranger. ! An instant her lip curled, and then sho | hid it io an alluring s-oiio. I ‘As he has made mo suffer, so shall I his suffering be.’ ‘She loves me still,’ thought Mark | Norton, proudly, an, later, ho went out i into starlit night. T feared I had lost I her, but I shall win her yet. How love | lv she is. the stake! I believe tnis timo my heart j will be With proud confidence Mark but j waited the best time fined for him to j speak opportunity the fateful was his. woiyls. Sho smiled, At last the ho j 1 thought, with joy as he asked her as now ! to give him his reward. Then the 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. '.Mr. Norton,' she said,‘your repentance has come too late. As I ouce ioved, I now despise you.' flushed j * Mark Noitons face before tho contempt in her voice. He feit. that sh i ! read aright the selfish motive of t his IVso Inert. Not long nf; Mr. Norton received a letter and ; a sai l 11 packet containing two cards tied tils (Tether by a knot of bridal ribbon Upon one was the name • Flossy Thayer, up"t) the oilier, ‘Air. and Mrs. A ubrey .Merritt.’ 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.
