m DAILY ENQUIRED-SUN, COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 21, lfififi. LOVli AND FANTASY. BV C. MILNE. Bc8 lden clear ntnl liuiirliing stream Young Love sat pensively. And long be gazed into the brook, And many a sigh sighed he. “\lone. alas! am I,” sighed Love, '••And love alone is dree; Oh who will hither c«me,” cried Love, “And keep me company?” The zephyrs came with light caress, goH humming came the bee. And sweet. Uu birds above him samr, “Oh, Love, we’ll bide with thee.” And all the rustling grasses sighed, how murmured every tree, The rippling waters tuneful asked, “Are we not company?” Rut Love, impatient, turned away; “Ah. no! ah, no!” said he; Not such, not such, my heart droth crave * To keep it company. ••Yet know I not what it would have, Ah. me! what can it be? If only it would come,” sighed Love, And looked up wearily. just then a maid—ye gods, how lair! What grace, what charm had she! Came slowly through theswaying trees; Love straightway bent the knee. As winsomelv the maiden paused Upon the daisied lea; “Art come, fair maid,” Love eager said, “To keep me company!” fio sod her voice, Love quivered through With new-born ecstasy; “Yes. I am come,” she gently said, “And pledge my fealty.” Then Love he vowed—as young Love’s wont- With oaths and rhapsody; Put all the while the damsel’s eyes Did twinkle menily. “And now, thy name, fair one?” saith Love, “My name: ah, soon,” quoth she, “Its meaning thou wilt truly learn; But I am called • Fantasy.” “Which means delight and changeless joy!” The youthened rapturously. She smiled upon the deep-moved boy; “ TiB even so,” quoth she. Then knelt he by the winsome maid Beneath a spreading tree; Oh, ne’er before on summer air Was heard such witchery 4 As tuned the lips of that bright pair, Whose words melodiously Were borne upon the murmuring breeze Along tlie daisied lea. “Oh, ne’er before, dear maid!” cried Love, “Such bliss was known to me As now doth thrill my heart aud brain;. This bliss, it comes from thee. “Now, swear, my own, my best beloved,” His voice shook tremulously, “That never thou wilt leave me, dear, My hope, my Fantasy. To which the maid, but laughing low, “Oh, that most willingly, For leal am I to Love and true, ’Tis he leaves Fantasy. To which the youth, all pale with pain, “Thou art unkind to me; As soon this «t re a m might leave its course. As I should stray from thee.” Both maid and stream, one morn were there, But Love - ah, where was he? And blithe the damsel laughed and said, “Love ne’er keeps faith with me.” Then through the wood labels green she sang, With arcli and merry glee, “When Love first meets you, maids, beware, Lest it be Fautasv.” A DETESTABLE OLD HEN. “Bab!” There was no reply to the sharp call, and the woman standing lu the doorway of the Browns’ furm-houso shaded her eyes with her hand as she looked despair ingly up and down the road. "That child will be I lie death of me if she stays long,” she murmured, stepping out on the broad stone step. "Never since the first day she came has she been within sight or sonnd when I wanted her! Ex actly like her mother for all the world, always a dancin’and laughin’aud happy, when so far as I could make out. there was nothin’ to be so cav about.” Perhaps the sharp gray eyes had never looked for the. bright tilings of life that made her niece so happy. It is hard to judge others' thoughts and feelings just ly without a glimpse into their hearts, and few ever try to look deeper than the sur face to form their judgments. Again the shrill voice called impatiently. “Barbara! Barbara Gray! On, you’re cornin’, are you? Well, jest run round the corner of the house and drive that pester ing Guinea hen out of the yard! It’s ever lasting pot-rack, pot-rack, is enough to drive one wild.” “But where shall I alive it, Aunt Bess?” queried the sweet voice breathlessly, as the girl paused at the gate, swinging her big calico suu-bonaet on her arm by the strings. “Land’s sake, Barbara, haven’t you drove it out often enough to know it be longs to Hr. Berry at the next farm?” “Berry,” repeated the girl, laughing, “is he the old man with the horrible temper of whom you speak so often? Is he home from Europe? Suppose he should see me and come after me, Aunt Bess?” “Don’t be a fool, Barbara Gray!” said her aunt, sharply. “Go along and do as I tell you. These are my grounds and I ain’t goin’ to have anybody's Guinea hens a squawkin’ round lit to ivake the dead!” “I thought the grounds belonged to Un cle Torn,” the girl said mischievously, as she disappeared around the corner of the house in pursuit of their next neighbor’s noisy hen. “3auee-box!” exclaimed Mrs. Tom Brown, as she turned back into the big kitchen and went on kneading oread, but there was a suspicious twitching around her stern lips as she said half aloud, bury ing her hands deep in the dough: “If the old bear meets her, she won t get the worst of it!” . Barbara Gray was a city girl of sixteen summers, with plenty of money to do as she pleased, and being the only child of in dulgent parents she had much her own way. She was a dear little girl, however, with a warm, generous heart and an im pulsive but sweet disposition. Having grown tired of fashionable summer resorts she decided to spend the summer and tall with her mother’s sister, Elizabeth Brown who lived on a large farm among toe Con necticut hills, where she tormented the good-natured farmer and bothered his wife until she often declared she would be the death of her. With light feet Barbara hastened alter the speckled hen, waving the big sun-oon- net to frighten it away. Such a screaming as the creature set up. It seemed hardly* possible that one small hen could raise such a commotion. With flapping wings and ungainly gait it rushed back aud forth, to and fro, blindly, wddly, most provokingly, while breathless Bab mad frantic endeavors to induce her to go out the wide open gate. But that little bit of flesh and blood, a Guinea ben. is the most, aggravating creature in existence. Go out that gate it would not, and all Bab’s chasing and racing and “shooing could not make it see the sensible side of the argument. “You hateful, detestable old hen! I wish yourowner’d keep his chickens at home, where they belong! Oh, you horrid biped! Wait till 1 catch you; won’t you get a shaking!” Evidently the hen intended to wait, and Miss Bab grew frantic. “I’ll pull all your feathers out, see tf I don’t! I’ll cut your wings off, I’ll choke y°t'’yon detestable old hen!’’ dtill the hen did not take kindly- to these promises. Perhaps she did not be- pursuit’ f ° r SU ° stiU drew Bab 1,1 hot . ^t'ed out and panting, she ran blindly into the blackberry hedge, and tHM.T’- thin u kin $- ‘I s the Proverbial os- rich does, when its head is hidden no one can see it, the lion paused; and with a la t desperate gathering of her remaining strength Barbara clutched it and flung it over the hedge straight in the face of the next neighbor! “There, you detestable old hen I” “Confound you!” A pause. V ith wide frightened eyes Barbara Gray stood, suubonnet in hand, staring into the hedge thR ten ' ihle neighbor beyond the fled U* 1 ’ miaS ’ 1 suppose you are satis- The voice was as cold as ice. and the blue eyes flashed straight down into her soul. Bab thought. Bui siie neither fai tered nor fled, but stood bravely in the broad sunlight, motionless, breathless. 1 Are you avenged? Have the sins of •“^detestable hen been \\ iped out in my Bab flushed and paled, but her brown eyes met him steadily. “I beg your pardon,” she said gravely, suppressing her inclination to laugh, “bid the noise nf the hen troubled Aunt Bess and I tried to drive it away. Were you there all the while?” “I was reading in the garden when I caught the sound of battle and could not help witnessing the encounter, novel as it was.” He wns laughing at her? Barbara drew herself up proudly. “At least the hen didn't know any bet ter,” she said. ‘And you did!” queried her tormentor. y c,|1 > lot me congratulate the victor, mu- rate.” She gave the extended hand a freezing look and turned away toward the house. “I don’t wonder your hens act so detest ably!” she flashed. “Neither do I, with such a pretty neigh bor!” was the reply. “It is a wonder you don’t eat them up, you're such a bear!” called Bab, vanishing around t lie corner and bounding into the sunny kitchen. “I’ve seen him, Aunt Bess, I've seen him!” she exclaimed, breathlessly, drop ping into a chair and fanning herself vig orously. “Seen who? What’s the matter, child?” and Mrs. Brown actually dropped several specks of flour in her astonishment. And Bab told her. They saw no more of the “horrid neigh bor” for a whole week, but never a Guinea hen found its way over the garden hedge. And one day a grinning black servant de livered at the farmhouse door a basket of excellent fruit. “For the young lady with the big eyes,” he announced. And buried among tbe luscious grapes and white peaches was a note of apology “for the rudeness offered to her that day' when she s!u? was so tormented by that detestable hen of his.” After a while that neighbor of the Browns got into the habit of going over to the big farmhouse very often; and one day Barbara told he, aunt confidently: “He isn't old a! all, Aunt Bess! He lo_ me last night, he was only 29. And he is real nice looking when he doesn’t frown and frighten one half to death. ” And before she went home, late that fall she promised to return ere another year passed, and see that Aunt Bess was never again bothered by her husband’s “detesti- ble old hens.” Mexican Palace* The palace is one of the most interesting buildings iu Mexico, because of its dimen sions, th,.- curiosities it contains, its history and ihe knowledge we have of the schemes of tyranny and bloodshed de vised within its walls. Each of its six patios is entered through ponderous outer doors, that might he relied upon to resist ; tic blows of a catapult, and these courts are surrounded by walls of enormous thickness. The building occupies the ex act limits of Montezuma’s palace aud con tains the official apartments ol the presi dent. and of the senate, the world-fumed ambassadors' hall, the offices of the gov ernment, the post office, museum and a military barracks. President Diaz has leased a residence near to the western side of the plaza, and his private dwelling on Humboldt street, is now the residence of the American minister, Gen. Henry R. Jackson. The starry banner of the Amer ican legation floats in the soft breezes above tne high walls and shady gardens of tne private dwelling of the president of the republic of Mexico. After a" call upon the premier, Senior Rubio,and an audience with the president, a visit to the hall of the ambassadors and a glauce at tbe well-arranged general post office you are close by the entrance ol the patio of the museum. Tnis court is WELL SHADED, and to the left of the entrance you are per mitted to enter a small apartment,in which is exhibted the state carriage of the em pire, the gift of Napoleon 111, to Carlotta, and said to he handsomer than the impe rial coach of Russia. Opposite the street entrance to this pa tio is the door of the Aztec hall; entering this long, narrow chamber, but receutly appropriated to its present uses, I found a few workmen erecting pedestals for the gods, and the sacrificial and calendar stones'removed thither from thecathedal walls and the patio inelosurtq, and the gods themselves lying around in the most undignified postures. The idols exhibited at New Orleans were arriving, and lay scattered about the completed pedestals of the “Divinity of Death,” or, as Banda- lier insists, the Hutzilopotehtil war god: of Tenochtitian. A few feet distant, and directly in front of this bloody idol, is placed the sacrificial stone, on wnieh 60,- 000 hearts were cut out to his honor. The extraordinary carvings on top and sides of this stone of sacrifice attract un limited attention until the bowl in the centre recalls its bloody uses. Into it the heart’s blood of the victim ran, and thence along the trench to the side, where it was often drank by the sinister priests, with their “matted black locks flowing down their backs;’’ and then, horror of horrors! to remember that the body of the victim was served by his captor in a ban quet to friends, with the most delicate of wines and toothsome viands.
