I phend. He is certain, of your tyustworthi-
ness, or he would not have sent you here.
Please, as favor, take charge of my ac-
counts, and, if you do not mind, 60 to the
expressman's, and order the baggage sent
for"
Miss Clayton, this kindness is unde-
served" replied George, humbly. "But
| can appreciate it. 1 know not what your
troubles are, but you have clear conscience
Il have guilt upon mine, and when Too
late see the evils have fallen into-when
too late to be anything in this world"
"Dont think that! Let your motto be,
Nil desperandumr / myself am sorely dis
appointed because l have failed in a great
undertaking, yet will not give up hope till
he last. Be cheerful"
"Your case cannot come within the limits
of mine" returned George. Il have lost
fortune, friends, character-all!'
When he had gone, Cecil turned to Clara,
who was gazing thoughtfully at the carpet.
Clara why are you so suddenly dumb2'
al was thinking how love acts on different
natures" replied the girl. "While some
mourn over the loss of the dear one, others
are indifferent. The love l entertained for
my parents did not hinder me from feeling
glad when they were dead
"Gladr exclaimed Cecil, shocked by the
seeming lack of humanity.
eyes glad, for death came as pleasant
relief from suffering. Had l reason to re-
greet their taking oh?'
~ mad rather have my parents with me,
said Cecil, sadly
"Selishness, dear could live happier
knowing those loved were out of pain and
trouble"
Cecil could not account for this melan-
choly humor
why, Clara, how low-spirited you are!
What ais you?"
''No, not low-spirited but more thought
lul than usual Your friend Mr.. Newton
helped to awake long latent memories;
that is all. y
"Not of love, hope"
"Not love for one of the opposite sex, if
that is what you mean. l have not yet
found the man to whom | care TO trust my
hfes happiness. The majority of II en-
sincerely wish l may be wrong in my esti-
mate are not suitable companions for wo-
man"
Now rose the spectre of Philip Eversleigh
| before Cecil Clayton
That it was which caused her to reply:
"You are right, Clara Entrustiug love
| to them, they trample 1t under foot Well
| aud truly does Lne pOet Sln2'
| 'Loto Is OF man 3 life u tnlng apart;
'Iis wORlans whole existence.
| When man thinks he loves, he makes great
| aGo-a new face attracts him-'of with tue
Old, Oh with the new The idol OF his hca-t
is forsaken for another, to be us soon he
elected for the next fair one encountered.
Our happiness is as well in our own hands
as in The hands of the opposite sex-tar bet
ter. II We keep it so, We need not go to our
graves with shattered affections. ON, the
folly of confding the heart to hypocrites"
GLOW bitter!' exclaimed Clara. "Are
there not more false women than mclf
Woman is more to be censured than man
for broken trotnB, pli3hted in good faith.
Coquettiahness and hasty temper are more
frequently the cause of separation than any
thing else-with the lady on the wrong side.
Many MISUNDERSTANDING would be rectlhed
were women to listen to the voice of reason. "
"Iogh-ho!" said Cecil, suddenly, 'hero
we are talking girlish philosophy, totally
| unprepared to receive the company coming
up the stooD"
'yhe Venetian blinds we're partly closed,
but through them she had seen the shadow
OF wonan's dress.
Clara was set in futter.
"And l in MY dressing gown"
'It's too late to change uow," carelossly
laughed Cecil I'm in the same plight
We can't keep them waiting an hour
