Pnrtuire.THIliiK. Two sisters, with their arms entwined, there stand Before a fortune-teller, bowed witli age -Who slowly turns with feeble, faltering hand The cards prophetic, like a mystic page. 'One dark, one fair. and both fresh as the morn; One like the flower which blooms in autumn late, The other like the spring’s pale, and first born Together there they wait to learn their fate.' “In life, alas! 1 see no joy for thee,” The gipsy said to her, the dark-eyed maid; J'K-MLY ENQUIRER • SUN: OOUJMBU8, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, ()(TUBER IS8G. - D .p*y . - ....

HOW THEY FIRST MET. “A letter for ine, eh? Well, give it to me, Jack, and then close the door, and replenish the lire; this November weather is rather chilly.” And Mr. Robert Burton settled himself In his office chair, lit a cigar, elevated his feet, and proceeded to read his letter, which ran thus: “My Dear Brother: “Of course you are coming home for Thanksgiving. We are all expecting you, and if you should take it into your head to disappoint us, we Bhould never forgive you; so be a good boy and drop us a card, telling us when to expect you. Sue Lang- don and Nellie Cole will be here—and Bob, i 'ust think of it. Ivy Blondette has premi sed to come. She Is the charming little widow I spoke of in my last letter—aw fully rich, and as sweet as a June rose. She is just the girl for you, Bob, and I have set my heart on calling her sister, but 1 can trust her to captivate you, if you will only bring yourself within range of her wonderful eyes. Please write-immediately, aud say you will come “Your loving sister, Jennie.” “Oh, pshaw!” ejaculated Bob. as he im patiently tossed the letter aside. “When will that precious sister of mine learn that there is no use in exercising her match making proclivities for my benefit? A widow, indeed! No, thank you, Miss Jen nie, not any ‘relicts’ for me.” And the next evening poor Jennie Bur ton sat in her room and cried over the fol lowing curt little note from her idolized but perverse and willful brother: “Dear Jen: “Glad to hear you are going to have the charming widow’ to help you demolish the Thanksgiving turkey but regret to say that my turkey is already spoken for in another direction. I have received an ur gent letter from Aunt Martha asking me to come to her house for Thanksgiving, and I have written her to expect me—because, you see, Jen, there will not be any widows running around in her house to bother a fellow. Yours gratefully, Bob.” It was 11 p. m., on the night before moment at a little station ana a solitary passenger alighted and started off through the trees at a brisk pace. It was our friend Bob, and at the end of fifteen minutes he emerged from the shadow of the trees and walked lightly across the smooth lawn that lay in front of Auut Martha’s quaint, old-fashioned country home. It was a long, low, one- story farm house, covering a liberal allow ance of ground, and with a wide veranda running around two sides of it. Bob paused as he approached the house, and scanned the windows for some sign of light, but there was none. Had the sky been clear the moon would have been shining brightly, but a mass of clouds hid her smiling face, aud a damp, gray mist seemed settling down over the house and lawn. “Of course Aunt Martha is not expect ing me to-night, soliloquized Bob. ‘‘She has been in bed and sound asleep for the hay loft. But let me see; the second win dow from the corner is tue one that opens out of my old room. I ought to know that, for I’ve climbed iu and out of it a thousand times. Now if it isn’t fastened too securely I’ll climb in once more, take possession of the high-posted old bed, and astonish auntie by walking into the break fast room in the morning.” Suiting the action to the word, he step ped lightly upon the veranda, and ap proached the designated window. The shutters were not closed, and a broken pain of glass rendered it easy for him to undo the time worn fastenings. “How careless Aunt Martha is; it is a wonder that she has not been robbed long ago,” was his mental comment, as he gen tly raised the window and stepped over the still. The window was small and heavily cur tained, and so little light penetrated through it that a full minute elapsed be fore his eyes were sufficeintly accustomed to the darkness to enable him to distin guish the familiar outlines of the old-fash ioned bedstead and the huge bureau that had stood close to the foot of the bed ever since he could remember. To this latter article of furniture he first groped his way, and began searching for the match box that was always kept there. “No matches, but the whole bureau strewn with hair pins! What can it mean. I never knew auntie to keep her hairpins in this room!” , , Then, as he could find no matches, he Went round to the head of the bed aud put out his hand to turn down the coverR, but surely, it was neither quilts nor pil lows upon which his hand rested. No, it was a King, thick, soft braid of hair, and as poor Bob realized this fact it seemed to him that his heart had suddenly taken up its abode in his throat, while cold chilis and hot flushes seemed chasing each other up aud down his spinal column. A wo man’s hair on his pillow! Now Bob was naturally quick at forming conclusions,and It took him scarcely three seconds to de cide that there was doubtless a feminine head at one end of that long, soft braid; and, as he was not in France, and the “Reign of Terror” was a thing of the past, why, naturally, concluded that the beau | and the hair were not there alone. It was this startling conclusion that caused him to take a quick step backward, With the intention of evacuating the premises as hastily and softly as possible, but, unfortunately for this wise resolve, his feet suddenly became entangled in some voluminous garments that were thrown across a chair in front of the bed, and in his clumBy efforts to extricate his pedal extremities from the mysterious net into Which they had strayed, he somehow lost his balance, and went over backward, coming down with the unfortunate ehiur upon the carpet with crash that bespoke ruin for the chair, and filled the breast ot our midnight intruder with the most un pleasant sensations imaginable. “Surely,” he thought, as he lay for a moment listening, with breath suspended, “unless she be one of the ‘Seven Sleepers she must have heard that.” . Evidently she had heard it; for at tnat moment a little white robed figure sprang lightly from tb room, and disap window, just as a perpendicular attitude. With but an instant’s hesitation he sprang after her, determined to overtake her, and try to explain matters, before she succeeded in arousing the neighborhood. He overtook her much sooner than be expected. Right at the foot of the veranda steps lay a little white figure, moaning as though in pain. Rob bent down and asked ffflnt.fr. von hurt?” And as he spoke^ lirostrnte tU Shed hCT f ul1 li S ,lt bp”” the O h lf 6 ' revealing to him not, us 7 S1,e f le l of his mint’s ' fairv that hn ,<0 a° e S u, den haired besnoke* cl .never seen before.

First, I ilre doubtless a guest of my aunt’s, i tell me, please, have you not heard her say j that she is expecting a visit from her | nephew, Robert Burton?” I A startled glance from the dark eyes, a I wave of crimson across the white face and | a slight inclination of the head were all the reply he received. “Well, 1 am Robert Burton. I came on the night train, but my aunt, not cxpect- '“g me till morning, had retired, and, disliking to awaken her, I thought I would take possession of my old room, and give my auntie a surprise in the morn ing. Why, my • poor little girl, you are hurt; your forehead is bleeding. Oh, dear, I feel like I hud acted the viilaiu, nnd I know you can never forgive me! You are hurt and half frozen, and I think the only thing for me to do now is to call my aunt and make a full confession.” But even as he spoke, his companion sprang up aud exclaimed, vehemently: “Oh, no, no, Mr. Burton! If you want me ever to forgive you for this night’s work, give me your word right here that no liv ing soul shall ever know what has occur red.” She stood on the step beside him as she spoke, her long, flowing night-dress trail ing behind her, and one little white bare foot peeping out from beneath the snowy ruffles, and the thought flashed across Rob’s mind that, after all, heaven was not the only abode of angels. But he gave the required promise with alacrity, and the next moment his angel had vanished, he heard his room window let down with a bang and found himself standing alone upon the veranda steps, with the damp fog of the morning hours settling around him. Slowly like one in a dream, he mode his way round to the back of the house, aroused the cook, and in duced her to smuggle him to an unoccu pied room, where he lay awake till dawn, thinking and dreaming of the lovely little lady that had so suddenly and unexpect edly crossed his path. "Soft, black eyes, and hair like burn ished gold,” he murmured, and then, Just as the first faint light of dawn came steal ing in through the window, lie fell asleep, and dreamed that his sister Jennie, with a E riest’s robe on, and a prayer book in her and, was marrying him to a short, fat, dumpy little widow, with cheeks as red as a peony’s and a little wisp of sandy hair, twisted tightly at the back of her head, who, ere the ceremony was half com pleted, threw her arms aronnd him and began kissing him with so much ardor that he gasped for breath and flung her from him. Whereupon he suddenly awoke, and found that he had flung the covers nearly off the bed, that he was sitting bolt upright, and that the kisses had doubtless come from Aunt Martha, who open away bille. Half an hour later he entered the breakfast room, and Aunt Martha, after giving him a warm welcome, said. “Oh, Rob, I’ve got the sweetest little woman here visiting me that you ever saw; sh—here she comes now.” The door swung open, and his golden haired dusky-eyed angel swept gracefully in, and, like one in a dream, he heard his aunt say: “Mrs. Bloudette, allow me to present to you my nephew, Mr. Burton.” **»**♦ A budding spring, a long, warm summer and a golden autumn have glided by. Once again Thanksgiving day is at hand, and this time there is a merry wedding party assembled in Aunt Martha’s cozy, old-tashioned parlor. Ail the Burtons aud all the Blondettes have gathered together from far and near to see Rob and Ivy married; but the face that is brightest and fullest of fun is Jennie's, ;as she comes in, and going up to Rob, whispers: “The widow is ready, my boy, and awaits the bridegroom’s coming.” And then she led him to the room, where he found Ivy standing before the glass, and Aunt Martha arranging the Folds of the long, billowy veil that fell around her. “Now, isn’t she lovely, Rob, and isn’t her dress perfection?” queries Aunt Martha. , “Yes, she is very lovely, and her dress is very beautiful,” assented Rob, as he drew her to him. and kissed the sweet red lips. “But, auntie,” he added, a moment later, “I saw her once when she looked even lovelier than she does to-day.” “Oh, you wretch! When was that?” ex claimed the impulsive Jennie. “It was the first time that I ever saw ht “Oh, Rob!” murmured Ivy, imploringly, while a soft, crimson flush mounted to hor cheeks aud brow, and the sweet, sparkling and dusky eyes sank beneath his ardent Stt “The first time you ever saw her?” chimed in Aunt Martha. “Why, let me aee; you had on a plain blue merino morn ing dress that time, didn’t you, Ivy? Well, upon my soul, if that isn’t a fine specimen of your taste in dress.” And Ivy stole a little shy glance at her lover, and then they both laughed, but to this day they have never told any one how they first met. t Ml tie While. If I iwalfl see thee once again A little while, once mure, Thy tender heart I might regain And my mat peace restore; You would forget the scorn you felt— So penitent l\l be; You would forgive while low I knelt. If I might on!) see Thy bright eyes smile on me: Only a little while, Only once more. If I should see thee once again And find thee stern and cold; And ever dead -uh, hitter pain— Thu bright, strong love ofoJd; You, even while i felt your scorn, All bitter though it be - And my sad heart with grief were torn I’d welcome misery. If I thy fuue could see; Only a little while, Only once more. -W. A. Hunt. A Torch'd Our Last Sunday's Advertisement. LOTS AND CORDS The « urlii’s I.unrest Yamal. Somebody is comparing the size and cost of the Great Eastern and Noah’s ark. The [ cost of building and launching tiie Great i Eastern was $3,850,000, and this broke the original company. A now company was formed which spent $1100,000 in filling and furnishing her. Then this company failed and a new eouumny was organized with a capital of <*300,000. At the close of 1880 this company sunk £88,715 upon the ves sel, thus making £4,703,575. Nothing ever built can stand comparison withlthe Great Eastern excepting Noah’s ark, and oven this vessel could not match her. The length of the ark was 300 cubits, her breadth 50 cubits, and her height 30 cubits. The cubit of the Scriptures, according to Bishop Wilkins, was ‘21 05-100 inches, and computed into English measurement the ark was 517 lent long, 01 feet beam, 54 7-10 feet denth and 21,702 tons. The Groat Eastern is 080 feet long, S3 feet beam, 68 depth and 28,003 tons measurement. So Noah’s ark is quite overshadowed by the Great Eastern. Advice to Mothers.—-Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It re lievos the little sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu lates the bowels and is the best known remedy for diarrhoia, whether arising from teething or other causos.
