men of the regiment resented that it
should be given frame through Mrs. CLAN
vile. And the women feared and hated
her; but they also admired Popular su-
perstition to the contrary notwithstand-
ing most women see the charms of 2
rival. Envy is as keen-sighted as love
is blind. And the clever ones admit
them.
Being isolated from the small circle of
feminine wit, Mrs. Granville added to her
attractions much masculine clear-sighted-
ness and wide range of interests. She was
as good to talk to as to look upon. She
spoke with the tongue of a wisdom that
was more-not less-than womanly, and
she sang with the voice of siren, and
men fell down before her and WOrshiped
her, and, throwing the cloak of their in
fatuation over the clay feet of their idol
came finally to forget them and believe it
all spOtless alabaster. They held her up
they would have disowned for following
III her path. And they ruined the peace
of their lives and of their homes for her
all, too, without the hope of even a ca
PRECIOUS fancy for reward. She brought
them low and laughed at them, but they
still had faith as had her husband, al
though the heavens should fall. She was
known to the borders Of the service, and
beyond, as creature of no heart who had
caused disaster and even death, and had
shown neither remorse nor pity.
Yet when she was free once more. Ray
mOnd went to her. Her old faith was
unmoyed. 1t was a hotter SOFT of faith
than any other she had inspired. Years
had gone since she had seen him. She sat
once again before the ire-this time in
her fathers home. And Raymond stood
looking down at her. The face, above
the black dress of her mourning, was as
saint-like as of old, and seemed as young
and unsecured. The long, gray eyes were
as placid, but more deep. He did not
ask now why she had done those things.
Perhaps he knew. But he said to her,
as though the time between had never
been:
''Cicely, do you love me still?'
And the sweet lips parted TO say the
words that they had never framed save
for him: Il love you still"
He reached out his hand and took hers.
She tried to draw it away.
But you do not want me-noW?" she
said.
He held her fast and answered: Il
want you now" There was no doubt in
his firm voice.
You do not know" she tried to tell
him.
Yes, I know" he said. ''and yet-and
yet [ want the Cicely who was my hon
est little playmate years ago; who was my
trusted love in the past: who will be my
faithful wife in the time to come. For
old sake's sake l want her, dear
She laid her tired head upon his shout
der and closed her tear-flled eyes. And
for old sakes sake she said, you shall
have her."-San Francisco Argonaut.

THE FIRST VIOLETS.

l found them by the dusty road
One sunny April day,
When all the air was full of peace
And prophecies Of May.
y careless wanderer, I stopped
And plucked each purple gem,
Breathing the fragrance. rare and sweet,
OF springs first diadem.
/ plucked them. while within my heart
The scenes of other years
Came f0cking back and filed my eyes
With happiness and tears.
l thought Of one whose eyes were just
The violet's purple hue;
Dear heart | know she has found rest
Among the good and true.
L know her little hands no more
On earth Will seek my own
Or pluck the springtime's sweetest flowers,
In grief l so alone;
Yet happy in the thought that she
Who had the yiOlet's eyes
Is waiting now to welcome me
Beyond earth's changing skies.
Where grief and sorrow never come,
And pain and darkness flee,
Amid the asphOdelS of heaven,
She waits to welcome me.

The Misery of Fifth Avenue.

There is misery on the east side, of
course, because there are a great many
more people there than should be, and
because there are sickness and extreme
poverty there, as well as evil passions
and sin, and all the painful things one
cred in considerable groups. But there
is unquestionably unhappiness also on
Fifth avenue. Among all the wretched
people in New York it would be hard to
match the apparent wretchedness of
some persons whom one sees driving in
closed carriages in Central park in win
ter. They look as if they never had had
any fun, or known any emotion of real
happiness. They look stunted and coma
tose. No doubt many of them, too, are
overfed and overcoddled citizens who
have missed the JOY of living from too
great solicitude to retain the comforts of
lIfe.-E. S. Martin in Harper's Magazine.
