DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN, COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER U, 1886. For the Enquirer Sun. THE SIUIIIXJ PIKES. BY MBS. II. E. MABCUS. With listless steps and thoughts distrait As through “God’s acre” wandering, 1 chaneed beside a wee, wee mound to wait The presence of a friend then coming. Across my ear there came a sound Like tlie lullaby a mother sings whose arms entwine Her infant, hushing it to sleep profound— So soft, so sweet this sigh among the pines. Again my loitering steps are stayed, and, stoop ing. read The name and nge; yfs, sire was young, beau tiful, beloved; Hers the caressing hand, whose tender touch re lieved Tt c aching brow, her’s the sweet lips whose soft Pressure soothed and com Co ted, but the pale reaper With his chill finger touched lire beautiful flower; It drooped and died, over this sweet sleeper The pines waft a mournful sigh of tender sor. row. What aileth these pines that they sigh so? Does (lie spirit of melancholy brood among Tlielr sombre shadows, sending that sound to and fro? Now a shriek, a sob, a moan, yet its grief still unsung? Ah! yes; this young man he may have been ihe Eldest son; nay, an only child, the idol of those Who knew him best. Alas! these pines whisper only the sad refrain “Dust to dust! ashes to ashes!” of human life the close. Athwart my pathway streams the setting sun, Lighting, in quiet beauty, the resting place of the aged One. Nay, nay, together here they lie side by side; floating Upon the breeze conies the song of the “Sweet by-and-by. Lo! that beautiful shore, the husband and wife again join hands; Those they loved are nigh; into my soul sinks that “Peace, be still!” Hushing the mournful heart with the hope ol a better land. The pines have ceased their sighing, all is peace, beautiful peace. Oh! pines, so tall, so straight and sombre, Ne’er cease their weird sounds to breathe; Tho* within your sheltering shadow is heard the Shout of happy childhood’s noisy glee. Take these living sounds, blend with your Sad refrain; send circling round, nor cease To greet the coming wave or sound, waft to and fro Over tile l*vcd ones sleeping here and sink to rest in peace. THE TWELVE MONTHS In tile Year— Why Same Mouths have Fewer Days than Others—An Allegory. Thousands of young readers, and old ones, too, if asked why there is a difference in the number of days in some of the mouths of the year could not answer; a few would give the intellectual answer that we must have three short years and one long year—leap year—when February is given twenty-nine days. As it is we still lose, by onr measurement of time, two hours and a quarter in 100 years, or one day in 4000 years. At one time February was the lust month in tlie year, and in the reorganization decided liberties were taken with it. giving it but twenty-eight days for three years and twenty-nine day every fourth year. But the Celtic allegory explains the di vision in such a pretty way that it ought to be generally known, and a kindergarten lesson to the young would take Ihe place of the old time rhyme of “Thirty days hath September, April, June and Novembe ; All tlie rest have thirty-one; February twenty-eight alone, Except in leap-year, I opine When that month’s days are twenty nine.’’ But to tlie allegory: A long time ago an old patriarchal father was pressed by his twelve sons to retire from business and divide his stock between them. Bo when he had yielded to their persistent clamors be assembled Ids neigh bors, along with his sons, s.> tli.it the former should aid him in a just and wise division, and that his paternal regard shouid not blind him to an equal division if it were not merited. The sons came forward, each anxious to secure as large a portion as he could for himself, and stated their claims. First came March. He was a burly, blustering fellow—a soldier all over. He had not many words to waste. The father and the neighbors feared him. He said: “I am the oldest son; I am entitled to a goodly share; if you do not give it to me, why, then, I shall take it. ’’ Tlie father, Annus, feared to dispute, and, knowing that March wou.d make good his threat, allowed him his claim and gave him thirty-one days. April name next. He was a silly, incon- ; Btant fellow; he was no favorite with his j father, his brethren or his neighbors. ! Sometimes he cried like a baby for a share equal to that of March; then he would cringe and flatter and smile upon the old man, but with all his pleas and persuasion the rather could not be prevailed upon to give him more than thirty days. Next came May. lie said not a word, j but smiling and pleasant, beloved by father, brothers and the people, Annus ! held out his band in blessing and said: “Take you as large a share as March,” and all clapped their hands and rejoiced over | the fitness of the bequest. Then came June. He expected to fare ; as well. He was garlanded with flowers, ! and was vain and exalted. He demanded [ an equal share with May, but the people protested, and lodged heavy complaints ] against him, which surprised the father, j for he loved June, and would have given him thirty-one days. But the people com plained that he sent the gad-fly to worry ' their cattle; the milkmaids came weeping | to Annus and charged that June had sour ed the milk in their pails, while the little lambs left their dams and cried out that lie scared them with thunder. The father looked very grave and sad, and said; “I am afraid I must decide against you. I should have liked to give you .1 larger share. Justice must lie done, and I can not give you more than thirty days.” Next came forth July and August. They were twin brothers, and they bore in their hands heavy cornucopias of plenty, and around their heads were garlands of wheat and barley and ma:ze, and before they could speak to or address their father he saw the happy faces of the assembly, and he smiled upon his twin sons, and said: “Take thirty-one apiece,” and his speech was applauded. When September came a few murmur ing of complaints came from the people, and the earth groaned, and before he could speak accusations were made against him of the most fearful kind; that he scattered malaria and colds and agues and fevers upon the earth, and sent destructive gales upon the sea, and as he was so ehopfallen and taken back that he could make no de fense, he was glad to get off 1 with thirty days and get out of sight. But October came up to the chair with proud step and proud bearing. All stood still to hear his pica. He said; “Father, I enable the farmer to gather in the late grains and fruits of the earth, ami to make all comfortable and prepared for winter. | I give the new-shorn flocks time to renew j tbelr fleeces to protect them from the ap- j proachlng cold, nmf I paint the woods in gold and silver and Vermillion and purple ana carmine, so that the earth is clothed with a r cher and more gorgeous beauty than even our lovoa and smiling May/’ He was awarded one and thirty days, November was less fortunate. A chill came over the assembly as ho approached, and a shadow dark and gloomy went be- tore him. He was the impersonifloation of darkness and gloom, an unloving, un lovable, cheerless fellow, mid when lie was about to speak old Annus cut him short and said: “Take a thirty day's share, and be thankful for if, for l believe it is more than you deserve.” Next came December and January to gether, lor 1 hey, too, were twin brothers. I uey were crowned with bright liollv leaves, and the red berries looked like gems. They came singing blit he Christ mas carols, so that a thrill of joy went through the heart of the father and ex tended to those around him. The father shook hands heartily with them, and he awarded each one oi them thirty-one days. Lnst of all came February; and there arose a loud complaint against him, that he was a monster of deceit and cruelty; that, by flattery and smiles, he often seduced the pretty little flowers out of their beds in the earth too soon, and the delicate and fragile leaf buds from their’s in the branches, mid then sprang upon them ajul devoured them, and February could not deny it, for he was shame-faced. Then Annus looked sternly upon him, and told him he could tolerate anything rather than deceit and hypocrisy. He therefore declared that lie should cut off this unworthy son with two shares less than the least of these that his brothers had received. “Be thankful,” said the father, “t hat you get even twenty- eight days, and consider yourself far better used than you deserve.” Just then a little spring flower, the snowdrop, who had been herself ono of the victims of February’s deceit, interceded for him so earnestly that the stern judge relented, and was prevailed upon to give him an additional quarter of a day, after which three hearty cheers were given and the assembly broke up. So, every leap-year, or four years, Febru ary gets his four-quarters together. Whisky and opium habits can be cured by taking Moxie Nerve Food. Tho Merry Hell.
