LITERATURE.

A NOBLE WOMAN.

This girl was half reclining in a rustic |

seat behind the arbor. She was in a half dreamy state. The bees buzzed in and around the flowers near by, but she did not hear them, ona bush and poured forth his loveliest strain, but she did not pote the sound.

The song of the laborer and lowing of |

cattle that echod from the fields did not reach her senses. At that moment she

was unconscious of all the beauties of na. |

ture, of all harmonies or pleasant sounds, of all the fragrance of the country.

But she was not unconscious of a pain |

Lately

that was knawing at her heart,

the deepest sleep that she could get could |

not cause her to lose realization of that. It was ever present with her.

And what was this?

The girl’s name was Ellice Burke.

She had a lover whose name was Char- les Vane.

months. Two weeks before this morning

she had come down to this pleasant place,

Heatheote Farm, as a guest of her friend.

Virginia Heathcote, and had feund Char- |

> \ane already here. And almost im-

mediately she became aware of that which |

Charles Vane, her lover about another deeply fascinated by that

caused her pain. was hovering ey idently other. Her name was Maud Danforth. She was a very beautiful woman, and beyond all doubt, had been a very decided flirt. Ellice had heard of her frequently and had met her occasionally before she had

fennd here, like herself, a guest of the |

Heathcotes.

The last two weeks had been miserable ones to Ellice. She understood fully how -matters were, but she had beea compelled to hide her pain under a calm and even gay exterior. What a bitter fact stared her in the face! The man she loved no longer loved her, as it seemed,

Charles Vane had been trying all these days to keep up the semblance of his re- gard for her, and had asked for no release f-om his engagement. There were several other guests with the Heathcotes, but none of them knew of the bond between her and Charles. They ksew, however, of his affair with Maud Danforth, but

what else could they call it but a flirtation ? |

Nothing, truly, in view of her reputaticn.

And the realization of all this was what Was present with Ellice as she sat behind tue arbor, causing the pain at her heart.

Presently two people came down the garden walk together and entered the «bor ; Ellice did not hear their steps. But when a man spoke she heard that. +t was Charles Vane’s voice that sounding in ber ears, and be called the nume of Maud Danforth. These two Were conversing about no common-place matter. No! and if Miss Danforth was Oily flirting with Vane, she had secured ner victim firmly; and if it was wore than a flirtation on her part she had ac- hieved a victory, for he was pouring forth passionate words.

was

‘Oh, Maud!’ he was saying, ‘T love | you with a/lmy heart, madly, better than |

my life.’

An ! if he eouldthave beheld the deathly white face of the girl outside, a pang of remorse as keen as he

toucked his Seart. Ellice Burke was hearing those words, words that aroused

her fully from all dreams, yet at the same |

time took away her powers of volition, that numbed her heart, that bound her in

. . the chains of despair.

‘Maud, Maud, my darling,’ Vane econ- tinued, ‘ Is there any hope forme? Do you love me ?’

There was a moment’s silence.

Then

the answer came—an auswer that showed

that Maud Dauforth was not flirting this time, that showed that however much she may have trified in the past, she was not trifling now. Her very voice was full of triumpbant happiness.

‘Oh, Charlie, i do love you.’

Then bush and sky and flowers faded from the sight of Ellice Burke, and all beeame dark to her. She heard no more, and in unconsciousness she found a tem- porary relief. She never koew how long

r short the time was in which she lay in

iat condition. When she came to her- self and rose, mechanically listened for the voices in the arbor. When several mo- ments had passed and she had heard no sound, she knew that they had left it. Then with a sigh her head fell back upou her arm again.

Oh, the bitter pain at her heart. She knew not that heretofore hope had not quite fled, that she had still cherished the thought that perhaps Charles Vane might love her best, that ouly a temporary fasci- nation might be drawing him to Maud Danforth. But now the whole miserable truth that she was nothing to him was apparent.

At last she was able to rise to her feet, She managed to reach her room unob- served by any one. She locked the door and sank down vpona sofa. It seemed as if despair was consuming her heart.

Would this blow kill her?

* Aw | dyiog ? Am I dying?’ she ask- ed herself.

that seemed too much.

Cireumstances assisted her, however. She was sitting behind the arbor again, not dreaming this time, but wide awake

to the bitter reality, when she heard the | |

voices of some persons coming down the

path to the arbor. Very soon she knew | that the persons were Charles Vane and | ‘iiud Danforth. They entered the arbor, Charles making a commonplace remark as ‘they did so. Then there seemed to be a pause in the conversation. : Ellice rose to go. She did not wish to i hear any more of their love-making’ No! She could not bear that now. Then she | heard words that caused her to stay. | «Does Ellice know yet ?? asked Maud. ‘No,’ replied Vane, ‘I dread to tell her . Ellice’s hands clasped tightly together. So Maud knew ali then.

‘Poor Ellice!’ Maud continued, pity her. But ob! Charlie, I love | | you!’ " Kllice koew that there was a great

quiver of pain in Maud’s voice. She knew | that these two were suffering for the wrong that they were doing her. Should she | hide her pain and helpthem? She took ‘counsel with her heart and decided that _she would. A second later she stood in | the arbor with them.

‘ T Know that you love each other,’ she | said quietly,feeling that they would under- ‘stand her. ‘I have known it fer seme | time.’

Probably Maud and Vane expected burst of wrath to fall on their beads the next moment. But it was not so. It was a noble heart that they had wrong- ed. reached out her hand to

HOW TO BEGIN.

Girls, you can learn how to be thorough- ly neat and clean by attending properly to your own rooms, if your sphere of useful- ness is confined to a simall space. Keep everything in perfect order, in the first | place, neatness is one great principle of | beauty. Cherish your instinct of taste | and fitness in every little thing that you have about you. Let it grow impossible to you to put down so much as a pin-box | where it will disturb the orderly grouping | upon your dressing table. Take upon | yourself gradually —for the sake of getting | them in hand in like manner, if for no

your small territory at home. Get together | things for use in such eases. Have your | little cloths and your sponges for bite of | cleaning; your furniture brush and your | feather duster, and your light broom and |

oil and spirits of turpentine, and a piece ot flannel to preserve the polish or restore the gloss where dark wood grows dim or

‘ Day after to-morrow.’

And as Ellice had no reasonable excuse for hastening off sooner than that, she had to remain.

The afternoon of the excursion came, | anda gay purty of young people left Heath-

cote Farmy The Glen was four miles distant.

They reached their destination. It was

& picturesque place. Shaded and_ cool.

The time sped merrily away to a portion of the party. At length some one pro- posed that they should search along the river bank fora boat with which te amuse themselves. The proposition was hailed with delight, and soon some eight or ten ,of them found themselves at the river shore. Among them, it chanced, were Ellice Burke, Maud Danforth and Charles Vane.

Two boats were found tied to the shore. Oue was large enough to hald several per- |} sons; the other was a mere shell that could only accommodate two. It was light und dry, however. Nearly all clambered into the large boat.

‘ Ellice and I will go in the small boot,’ said Maud Danforth to Charles Vane, the three been yet upon the shore. ‘I can seul] splendidly and we wil] get along first rate.’

Maud felt that she would like this girl. She cherished nothing but gratitude and friendship toward her, and wanted a chance to express something of her feel- ings. Of course Vane consented to the arrangement. | You must be careful,’ he said.

‘Oh, there is no danger,’ eried Maud.

A place was given to Uharles in the larger boat, and with merry shouts they flashed away from the shore.

For some time kept together. Maud and Ellice drifted behiod.

A silence tell between them. glanced at Ellice with wistful eyes.

‘Eliice,’ she commenced.

But that sentence was never completed for,—

‘Hallo!’ came ‘sounding across the water, ‘ Hurry, Maud!’ cried some one from the other boat.

Maud rose to her feet and waved her | handkerchief. Her signal was returned | with shouts‘and laughter.

Theu, some way or other, how she could never tell, she lost her balance and fell over the side of the boat. She had only time to scream, and then there was a rush of water about her ears. Ellice Burke rushed toward her and managed to seize her as she rose to the surface.

But alas! the weight of the two upon the side of the shell was too much. Ina moment it overturned and Ellice was | struggling in the water too, She kept her preseace of mind and managed to grasp the boat.

‘Mand, Maud,’ she cried, ‘ seize the boat and you are safe!

And with her assistance, Maud, half drowned as she was, succecded in getting a hold beside her.

But a fearful fact became apparent. The overturned shell would not sustain the weight of both of them. It was slow. ly, slowly sinking.

‘Oh, heaven!’ gasped Maud. we die?’

Ellice Burke glanced over the water.

The other boat was coming swifthy to- wards them, but could never reach them in time. In an instant her resolution was formed.

‘Maud,’ she said ‘cling fast to the boat, and you shall be saved. He loves you, and for his sake you shall live.’

Then, before Mand understood ber in- tention. she released her hold of the boat. Maud had one glance at her face before she disappeared. Then, with a great light | shining in her eyes, the noble woman

** THANK YOU.”

These two words do not appear hard to say, yet many people have an invineible opjection to say them. ‘John,’ said a mother to her liulle boy, ‘ did you thank the lady who gave you the orange?’ ‘ Yes, mother,’ was the There are too many ‘Johns’ among older people.

She looked giad-

We doubt not there was plenty of ‘ thank you" in her heart, but its expression in words would bave been eminently proper. A great many folks take favors as though they had aright tothem. Weoncs heard it said of a young lady, ‘ She receives a favor as if it was aright to which she was entitled by

ization, and of which she is not under the least obligation, either for deed, or the kind feeling which actuates it.’ An intimate ac- quawutance with the lady enables us to know how far from fact this seeming 1s; still, we can but feel that this Jack of proper recog. nition of friendly acts is a fault in her char- acter that should be concealed. Indeed, sauvily, agreeableness, politeness, can be sprinkled along our daily walks with great advantage. It is astonishing how mucha little oii of politeness lubricates the wheels or society. No matter whether at home, in business or in social intercourse with those in our service, friends and acquainlances,the result is the same. And when such good results are obtained with so little expendis ture of thought or labor, it is not strange that their attainment is not more often made tre object of our attention ? A kind look or word often makes it a pleasure for us to do that which, otherwise, would be a@ task or duty performed with the feeling of must rest- ing heavily upon us.

DIDN'T OWE HIM A CENT.

John Randolph, of Roanake, a celebrated Virginia statesman, of a haughty temper and addicted lo swearing, was once travelling through a part of Virginia with’ which he was unacquainted, and’ in the meantime stopped during the night at an inn near the forks of the road. The inn-keeper was a genial, good hearted old gentleman, ani per- haps one of the first families of the O}| Dominton. He knew who -his distinguished gues! was, and made every mental endeavor to entertain him during the evening, but madea signal faiijure. Ono the morrow’ when Mr. Randolph was prepared to leave, he call- ed for bis bill which being presented, was paid.

Ihe old gentleman, still anxious to have some conversation with the great stete-man interrogated him thus :—

‘ Which way are you travelling, Mr. Ran- dolph ?

‘Sir? said Randolph, with a look of dis- pleasure.

‘ L asked,’ said the landlord, + which way are you travelling.’

* Have I paid you my bill?’ said Mr. Ran- dolph.

‘ Yea,’

‘Do Lowe you anything more ?’

‘ Nr,

‘Weil, Lam going just where I please; do you understand ?

7

The landlord was by this time somewhat ex- cited, and Mr. Randolph drove off, but to the landlord’s surprise, ina few minutes sent one of his servants to enquire which of the forks of the road to take.

Mr. Randolph not being out of hearing distance, the landlord spoke at the top of his voice, ‘ Mr. Randolph, you don’t owe me one cent; just take which read you please.’ It is said that the air turned blue with the curses of Randolph.

Courace, Man.—A great deal of talent is lost in the world for a hittle courage. Every day sends to the grave a number of obscure men, who have only remained in obscurity because their timidity has prevented them from making a first effort, and who, if they could have been induced to begin, would in all probability have gone great lengths in fame. The fact is, to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.
