are inherently wrong. We may admire
the grace with which the clinging ivy

its ruhy•vellied xuriant verdancy, It

woman who decks herself in the attire
of youth and assumes the airs of youth,
after it has passed like a beautiful
dream from her breast and her life to
return no more forever, She cannot
dec . eive those who surround her, and
their contempt for her asau ption of
youth is the guerdon she wins for her
pains. Every age has its advantages,
as well as its ditties. A woman in the
years between thirty and forty has seen
the world, and has measured its evil and
good ; and experience should become at
once a talisman and a safeguard.

that she is Passe, for the age is progres

But even acceding the tact that a wo
man may be fair at lifty—she knows
full well nature at last will" unfasten
the zone, and wrest the sceptre of
comeliness from her reluctant grasp.
How much more beautiful, and how
much wiser to prepare against indubib

sat with a basket of bright.colored

grown stronger, grander, and was en

of her nature. She evidently held in

that cool composure that is requisite
in all serious issues. Like the epoch
in which it was her mission to act,—
she concealed, beneath, a finely-toned
and brilliant exterior, more than one
bitter heart struggle,, more than one
Storm. Like all positive blondes, she,
Nag full of character and tact and
diplomacy—she was determined to
crush the grief of her own soul and to

that there is but one true way of Itlnig

gravely, and yet with a warm light in
her eyes. "And that is with one's

"War to the knife, and the knife to

While she stood thus confront
ing Mrs. Markham, who calmly gazed
upon her flushed face and excited
mein,thet parlor door softly opened and
a tall, graceful man stepped over the
threshold. Mrs. Markham, with an
exclamation of delight,started from her
chair, and advanced with both bands

Mrs. Markham was voluble.
Ethel, in deep ernbarrassment,resumed
her seat, And the large, melancholy
blue eyes of Coloilel Corbeille glanced
from one lady to the other with an cx•
preeaion that was in itself an earnest
inquiry.
" Pardon me, Colonel," said Mrs.
Markham, with 'a deprecating gesture,
and a glance of regret, mingled with
tenderness. "My little Cousielere,

cooler, cutest nod of recognition and
