The Fading Flower.

If there is any part Of mans conduct
which proves more conelusivelY than another
the baseness Of his ingratitude, it is his in-
difference to the fading flower. Woman may
well wonder at the charm which prostrAtes
the heavy euardsmen at the feet of the belle
of the season.
There is certain melancholy in tracing
further the career Of the Fading Flower. We
long to arrest it at each of these picturesque
stages, as We long 10 arrest the sunset 10 its
lovelier moments Of violet and gold. But
the sunset dies into the gray Of eye-lhe
woman sets with the same fatal persistency.
The evanescenI tints fade into the gray. Wo
man becomes hard, angular, colorless. Her
floating sentiment, so graceful in its mobili>
ty, curdles into opinions! Her conversation,
SO charmingly impalpable, solidifes into dis
cussion.
Her character, like her face, becomes rigid
and osseous. She intrenches herself in the
'olOgies. She works pinafores for New Zea>
landers in the May meetings, and appears in
wondrous bonnets at the Church Congress
She adOres Mr.. Kingsley because he is ear
nest, and groans over the triviality of the
literature of the day. She takes up the grie>
vances of her sex and badgers the puzzled
overseer who has omitted to place her name
on the register. She pronounces old men TO-
gies, and young men intolerable. She throws
out dark hints of her intention to compose
great work which shall settle everything.
Then she bursts into poetry, and pens poems
of SO fiery passion that her family are in
CONSERVATION lest she should elope with the
half pay officer who meets her by moonlight
on the pier. Then she plunges into science
and cuts her hair short to be in proper trim
for Professor Huxley's lectures. For awhile
she starlles her next neighbor at dinner with
speculations on mollusks, and questions as
to the precise names of the twelve hundred
new species of fish that Professor Agassiz
has caught in the river Ornoco.
There is a more terrible stage when she
becomes heretical, subscribes to the support
of Mr.. Tonneson, aud pities the poor Bishop
of Natal. But from this she is commonly
saved by the deepening of eve. Little by
little all this restless striving against the
monotony of her existence dies down into
calm. The grey of life bushes the Fading
Flower into the kindly aunt the patient nurse,
the gentle friend of the poor. 1t is hard to
recognize the proud beauty, the vivacious
hirt, the sentimental poetess of days gone by
in the practical little woman who watches by
Harry's sick bed, or hurries off with blAn-
kets and broth down the lane. In some such
peace the Fading Flower commonly finds her
rest-a peace unromantic, utiitarian, and
yet not perhaps unbeautiful. She has found
as she tells usher work at last and yet
in the life that seems so proftless she has
been doing a work after all-Lond ReUie,O
