When Clarence asked Mrs. Hendkezon’s 
consent, she. at first, refused to listen. Tie 
pressed his suit, however: one refusal did not 
discourage him. Mrs. Livy Henderson at 
length deigned to think of the matter more 
seriously. Cassia had said nothing, hut spent 
her time weeping softly iu her own room. Mrs. 
Henderson reflected. Cassia was not hand¬ 
some ; her eyes were beautiful, but tears made 
them look red, dim, and insignifieent. Perhaps, 
after all, she would never do better; perhaps 
she had better let her marry the fellow. So, 
when Clarence called again, she met. him 
graciously, ami gracefully gave her consent to 
the marriage. 
They were married then, and Clarence 
took his bride to his owu home. They were 
very happy; care seemed to shun their pleasant 
home. But “ no rose without its thorn." 
Cassia went to visit her mother, sometime 
after her nuptials. She was to stay a week. 
There was a cousin of her mother there, when 
she arrived—a cynical old bachelor, with sharp, 
gray eyes, wiry form, and crooked features. A 
hard visaged man was he, with gray hairs 
She had never met him

He was very rich, Mrs. Henderson told her; 
hut that interested her very little; Cassia 
cared nothing for wealth. The week passed, 
rather 'lowly, perhaps, but it went by, at last, 
aud Cassia returned to her own home. Iler

Clarence wanted h> \ that was enough. For 
once, if only iu sue! a little matter, she set 
aside her mother’s w -ties for her own. Pity 
she did not the same in matters of more vital 
importance! 
Hammond Green said little that day, or the 
next: the next looming, he said:—“ Cousin 
Lucy, that daughter of yours is a very nice 
woman.’’ 
“ She is a good child. Hammond.” 
“ I dare say. But I am sorry she is married.” 
Mrs. Henderson looked up from her muffin, 
in surprise. Green continued“ I am a poor, 
louely, old bachelor, you know, cousin. (Not. so 
“poor” either, ha, ha, ha!) I have never met a 
woman who came nearer my ideal of a wife 
than Cassia. I am sorry — very sorry she is 
married.” 
Mrs. Henderson looked thoughtful. “Do 
you mean that, had she been unmarried, you 
would have proposed ?”

Mrs. Henderson wa» a woman of tact. The

science rebelled at first. But she was poor; she 
loved gold; Green had plenty.

she was not well; no one could nurse her like 
Cassia. Wouldn’t she come? Cassia was 
melted to tears j of course she would go to her 
mother, her beautiful, proud mother! Lint then 
Clarence was not at home: Clarence had 
gone to the 1 Vest—was to stay a mouth, perhaps 
more. His sister and aunt were both with her, 
would stay till CLARENCE returned from his 
business tour. But then it was her mother who 
was sick —her mother / she need not consult 
Clarence. She would go. 
Her mother was not so ill as Cassia expected 
to find her. She had thought to find her writh¬ 
ing and moaning on a bed of pain. How many 
things .die would do to ease that pain! Instead, 
ghe found her sitting on a sofa, laughing and 
talking to Hammond Green. 
Cassia was rather surprised; gladly surprised 
that her mother was go well; half-angrilv sur¬ 
prised to see her with Hammond Green. She 
had not thought of meeting him there. She 
disliked the man, nay, almost hated him. Her 
mother straitened her face, smiled sadly, sighed 
softly, as she bent to kiss Cassia’s upturned 
lips, and murmured:—“ Poor Cassia !” 
Cassia’s hazel eyes dilated with astonish¬ 
ment; she wondered in what manner or how it 
happened that she was poor. 
itself on one object. Cassia loved her mother 
dearly; had such unbounded faith in her, so 
much confidence! Her mother, in her eyes, was 
the wisest of wise women; almost a saint in 
fact. She sometimes wondered if the saints in 
Heaven could he very much better than her 
mother. That was, if, when the saints were on 
earth, they had been very much better. Per¬ 
haps they had. Somehow she couldn't think 
so. Confiding, trusting Cassia! 
Mrs. Henderson did not want Cassia to 
many Clarence Cool. He was a worthy 
young man enough, industrious and all that, 
and likely to bo a person of wealt h some day. 
Likelihoods did not suit Mrs. Henderson. She 
preferred something more certain than expecta¬ 
tions. Clarence Cool was not rich enough 
to please her. To be sure, he was well-to-do; 
but “ well-to-do” did not mean “ wealthy.” 
Cassia and Clarence were deeply attached; 
but. the girl would have given him up, even then, 
had her mother bade her do so. It had been 
better, had she done so; three-fold better than 
to have the burden of the greater sin aftemvard 
committed.
