6 DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 12, 1886, R« TI1K FOR IUTIRU. Begone with feud! away with strife! Our human hcarU un mating; Let us l>e friends again! This life Is all too short, for hating! So dull the day, so dim the way, So rough the road we’re faring— Far better wend, with fuithftil friend Than stalk alone, uncaring! The barren fig, the withered vine, Are types of selfish living; But souls that give, like thine and mine, Renew their life by giving. While cypress waves o’er early graves, On all the w ay were going, For belter plant where seed Is scant, Than tread on fruit that’s growing. Away with scorn 1 Sfnae die we must— And rest on one low pillow; There are no rivals in the dust— No foes beneath the willow. So dry the bowers, so few the flowers, Our earthly way discloses, Far better stoop, w here daises droop, Thun tramp o’er broken roses! FLORENCE 8 FATE. A pretty blonde sat in the sumptuously furnished parlor of a mansion on a fash ionable street in Washington. She was that night it was to dream ;of blonde hair and deep bluo eyes. After that evening they met repeatedly, and the gentleman called frequently at her brother’s house. One day when he came Florence was alone. She was playing the piano when he was shown in, but turned quickly with a welcoming smile at the sound of his voice. They talked of that evening at Mrs. Drummond’s party, and somehow, Florence could not tell exactly, how, the gentleman brought forward the subject of (lowers. She looked up sud denly right into his eyes with her clear, direct gaze: ‘‘Yon sent them?” she said. ‘‘Yes, I sent them,” he returned. Then, suddenly: “Florence,* I had seen yon at the opera. I fell in love with you at first sight, and I love you now!” Hho did not blush and drop her eyes af- tcrlhe manner of ordinary young women, but looked directly at him. “And I fell in love with you the first time I saw you,” she announced calmly. Whut if her friends—her envious lady friends— had heard her! Would they not have voted her more strong minded than ever? I fear so. The weddidfc was celebrated with gveat magnificence, and the bride was lovely if she was excentric. mark ivoir Or Black Leprosy, is a disease which is considered incurable, but it has yielded to the curative properties of Swift’s Specific— now known all over the world as H.

The two lmlios were soon ready, and Mr. Bradly conducted them to their carriage. The drive was a silent one, and Florence leaned back with bright eyes, trembling a little with excitement and holding her flowers, the sweet perfume of which filled the carriagely closely. When they readied the Drummonds’ splendid mansion, brillinub with light that streamed cheerfully from the plate glass windows, tiie street for a whole block was lined wit li carriages. “Wo are a trifle late,” whispered Mrs. Bradly to Florence. “Yes,” nodded the girl. She made her way over to where the the youngest daughter of her hosters sat. Mai garni Drummond was a silent girl, without beauty, and was consequently overlooked and snubbed by her elder sis ters. And for this very reason Florence always was friendly with the lonely girl, and an intimacy had sprung up between the two so widely uulike in appearance. They sat together discussing the differ ent guests. At lost Margaret said: “There eonieB ninmiua with Mr. Saun ders. Look, Flora, now don’t you think him as handsome us an Apollo? I think he is tiie very handsomest man I ever law," she concluded, enthusiastically, in alow tone. Florence looked up and saw in truth a handsome man, tail and straight, with a handsome Saxon face, and eyes as blue rb her own. And wouder of wonders! Could It be? In his coat he wore a small japoni- oa and a spray of heliotrope. She had not time to answer Margaret before Mrs. Drummond and the gentleman came up. She dropped her eyes in trembling confu sion and did not raise them again until she heard her hostess’ voice saying, as in a dream: “Miss Bradly, let me introduce to you Mr. Saunders. He is one of my friends. J want you two to like each other,” and without further ado the lady sailed away again, taking her youngest daughter with her. and left the two people alone. Florence glanced up then. The two pairs of blue eyes met; Mr. Saunders’ were smiling; then,'as they both realized the unceremonious introduction given by Mrs. Drummond, they both burst out laughing, which took away Florence’s embarrass ment. They were soon upon friendly terms. Auu directly the gentleman, in a casual way, said: , “How well your flowers become you, Miss Bradly! They match your dress to perfection.” | Florence looked up, saw a smile lurking in his eyes, and dropped hers in confusion. There was no doubt now, she told her- •elf. The sender ol the bouquet was be fore her. “How well they look together!” com mented Mrs. Drummond to Mrs. Bradly. “They are of the same complexion and a splendid match for each other. He is enor mously rich, my dear. My girls admire him immensely; but theu, you know, they are all engaged—except Margaret, who is too young.” When Florence lay down upon her couch Wiggs—“Well, if you have no money you can’t pay; so that settles it.” Higgs—“Settles it! I am glad that you are so kind as io cuil it settled, as 1 was afraid 1 would never be able to pay it.” Hrare l u.
