the seven ages of woman.
From the Boston Dally Advertiser.
All the world's a wardrobe,
And all the girls and women merely wearers.
'Thev have their fashions and fantasies,
And one she in her time wears many garments
•Throughout her seven stages. First, the baby,
Befrilled and broidered, in her nurse’s arms.
And then the trim-hosed school girl, with her
flounces . . ... .
And small bov scorning face, tripping skirt
waggingly,
Coauettishly to school. And then the flirt,
OeUng like Circe, with a business selllade
Kept on he- low-cut corset. Then a bride,
Full of strange finery, vestured like an angel,
Veiled vaporously, yet vigilant at glance,
Seeking tne woman's heaven, admiration,
Even at the altar steps. And then the matron,
In fair rich velvet, with suave satin lined.
With eyes severe and skirts of youthful cut,
Full of dress-saws and modish instances.
To teach her girls their part. The sixth age
shifts
Into the gray, yet gorgeous grandmamma,
With gold pince-nez on nose and fan at side,
Her youthful taste still strong, and worldly
wise
In sumptuary law, her quavering voice,
Prosing of fashion and Le Follet, pipes
Of robes and bargains rare. Last scene of all,
That ends the sea's mode-swayed history,
In second childishness and sheer oblivion
Of youth, taste, mission. all e'en love of dress.

“Rather a feeble comparison, Milton, 11
said his brother, greatly amused. “Do you
not know that one-half the world think the
sunflower the grandest, the most beautiful
flower that grows. In all ages and in all
countries it has ever been held in great ven
eration.”
“Well, those who see any beauty in a sun
flower, I think, have little taste. It is the
ugliest, coarsest flower that blooms. It
ought to lie the emblem of boldness—self-ini
porttflioe!’ 1
“Is that why you compare Miss Florine
Morriss to a sunflower?”
“Yes; she acts as if she thought every
body was admiring her,” and here the little
fellow leaped to. the floor and mimicked
Florine to perfection, greatly to Virg.l's
amusement.
“Some people may think her beautiful,”
continued the boy, “but she can't come any
where.near Miss Pauline, who is asgoodatid
beautiful as an angel, and yet she acts just
as if she didn’t know she was so good and
beautiful. I don’t see how a man who
knows her can love any other lady. It
seems so strange I think she doesn’t get
married. But I know it is not because she
can’t.”
“She loves you, brother mine, and is pa
tiently waiting until you have reached man
hood and acquired a profession.”
“Do you reckon she is sure enough?” ex
claimed Milton, sei iousiy.
“Of course,” and Virgil laughed heartily
at the lad’s earnestness.
* * * * * * *
Late in the afternoon the young lawyer
and his little brother, hand in hand, direct
ed their steps to Hollywood. Ever since
their mother’s death they had never neg
lected, except when out of the city, to visit
her grave once a week. The sun was
throwing his parting beams over the ceme
tery as they entered the hallowed grounds
and made tlieir way around a circuitous
route to the resting place of their dead.
Until a year ago Mrs. Paine's body had
lain in Mr. Morriss’ section. Since then it hail
been resting in a lot Virgil had purchased.
Over the beloved remains the young law
yer had erected a marble monument, 5 feet
in height, bearing the following inscrip
tion;
Sacred to the Memory
of
Our Mother,
MARY HAMMER PAINE,
Wife of
Frank Randolph Paine,
Deceased.
Born in Bedford county. Va., JuueSl, 18—.
Died in Richmond, Va., June 27, 18—.
“And Her Best Shall be Glorious.”
On either side of the monument stood a
marble urn, in which were growing bright
hued verbenas and sweet-scented gerani
ums.
Virgil had purchased a bouquet on his
way to the cemetery. On entering the sec
tion he reverently placed the little tribute at
the base of the monument, and then seated
himself on the curbing.
Milton presently sat down beside him, and
looking up in his face, said:
“Brother, as soon as you become able,
you are going to buy Fern Springs and have
mamma's remains removed ihitber and
buried beside papa’s and sister Beulah’s, are
you not?”
“That is my intention, Milton; but I am
sure mother could not rest in a more se
cluded or beautiful spot than this. Do you
think so?”
Virgil wound his arm around his little
brother’s neck as he asked the question, and
impressed with the solemn beauty of their
surroundings, the two sat together in silence
for five minutes or more. Tnen rising, they
wended their way around the path leading
to the main avenue. Just around the curve
in the path was situated Mr. Morriss 1 sec
tion, and as they turned the curve they
saw the tobacconist’s carriage standing in
the road below.
Milton clapped his hands together in de
light.
“Miss Paulie and Mrs. Morriss are out
here,” he exclaimed. “Ain’t I glad? Come,
brother, walk faster.”
Just here a low, sweet laugh rang out on
the still, solemn, air—a laugh that sent a
strange feeling through the being of our
hero.
“That was Miss Florine who laughed,”
said Milton, frowning with vexation. “I
reckon she’ll be eternally stuck at Miss Pau
lie’s side everywhere she goes. I don’t reckon
I’ll ever have Miss Paulie all to myself
again. I just wish Miss Florine had stayed
in Europe!”
“I will retrace my steps and reach the
main road by some other direction,” thought
Virgil, as he paused suddenly in his walk.
“But that would be silly, unmanly. Why
should Ibe afraid to pass that girl? No, 1
will not go one step out of my way on her
account! I will go right by Mr. Morriss’
section, and if we should be introduced to
each other, I will acknowledge the intro
duction as coldly as good breeding will per
mit.”
And, acting upon this resolution, he took
his brother by the hand and boldly walked
on until he reached the tobacconist’s lot.
Glancing therein, he beheld Charlie stand
ing against an urn and the Misses Morriss
sitting directly in front of the young minis
ter on an iron bench.
“Good eve dug, Virgil,” said Charlie.
“Good evening, Charlie. How are you,
Paulie?" said the young lawyer, grasping
the young lady’s hand.
Thank you, lam well. How are vou?”
“I, too, am well, thank you,” was the dig
nified reply.
“And" here is my little Romeo,” ex
claimed Pauline, leaving Florine’s side and
taking a seat on the curbing beside Milton.
An embarrassing silence ensued. Char
lie, at length, in great contusion, stam
mered :
“Mr. —Mr. Paine, allow me to introduce
you to my sister. Miss Morriss.”
Tremblingly Florine arose as Virgil ad
vanced toward her. His imposing stature,
his graceful majestic bearing, his fair, clas
sic face, with its large eloquent brown eyes,
his magnificent head with its profusion of
raven hair, at once filled her with an unut
terable awe.
“Good —good evening, Mr. Paine,” she
stammered, with her eyes fixed upon the
ground and her face as crimson as a rose.
“Good evening, Miss Morriss.” he said,
coldly, as his eyes sparkled with triumph.
“I think we have met before, have we not t”
His eyes dwelt a moment uiion the beauti
ful face of the girl, and, then, without
waiting for a reply, to his question, he de
liberately turned and left her side. He
paused beside Pauline, and as the two en
tered into conversation about some book ho
had sent her a few days before, Florine saw
a gentle and winning expression take the
place of the haughty one with which he had
regardod her. That she—“the beautiful
and queenly Miss Morriss,” as she had been
called abroad—that she who had won and
flung aside the hearts of several English no
blemen and other wealthy and distinguished
men—should be treated with such silent con
tempt by this poor young lawyer—this “un
titled aristocrat”—stung her vanity deeply.
Indeed, for the first t ime in her life she was
brought to a realization of her shallowness.
Instantly she lost all desire to flirt with our
hero. She felt that he had triumphed. The
voice which had disgusted her in girlhood
toll upon her ears now in tones of marvel
ous sweetness. Oh, that he would only
speak to me I Oh, that he would even be
stow upou me a single smile—a single friend
ly glance!
"He hates me so much he will not even
look at me,” she thought. “But if he be so
good and noble us Charlie and Pauline say
he is, will he not forgive mo if 1 ask his
pardon for that error of my girlhood; 1
will test his manliness."
.Summoning all her courage to her aid,
she arose, and, with a wildly-beating heart,
approached the young lawyer.
“Mr. Paine,” she faltered, and hero her
tongue seemed to cleave to the roof of her
mouth.
All eyes turned instantly toward her,
thereby increasing her confusion.
“Did you address me, Miss Morriss?”
asked Virgil, the cold expression coming
back to bis face.
‘Mdid, sir,” she replied, with downcast eyes.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1887.
“Mr. Paine, can you forgive that rude act
of my girlhood? Can we from this time
forth lie friends?”
As she thus stood lief ore him in the role
of penitent, Virgil thought he had never be
held so beautiful a creature. The sorrowful
look upon the lovely brunette face touched
his manly heart. He reproached himself
for his coldness toward her. He took her
hand, and, pressing it warmly within his
own, said:
“I freely forgive you, Miss Morriss.
Nothing would give me more pleasure than
that we should become friends,” and while he
was speaking Florine saw an expression of
joy light up his face.
“I trust, sir, you will not. think me un
womanly for approaching you thus after
your haughty conduct toward me.”
“Unwomanly to ask the forgiveness of
one you have wronged i” demanded our hero,
quickly. “If 1 had wounded your feelings
by an act of rudeness, and desired now to
win your friendship, would you think me
unmanly if 1 were to ask your pardon for
the pain my rudeness had inflicted? 1 dare
say you would not. Then why should 1
think you unwomanly for what you have
done? I assure you, Miss Morriss, that you
pursued the only course by which you and
I could ever have become friends' I am not
one of those pitiable, weak-minded men,
who, having been repulsed by a woman,
will afterward fawn meekly at her feet.
Your conduct this afternoon proves you to
be a woman of noble impulse—a woman
not too proud to ask the forgiveness of one
she has insulted.”
Virgil, after a pause, continued:
“1 repeat, Miss Morriss, you have my full
forgiveness. I am willing we should be
come friends—warm, lasting friends. It
is my desire to live in friendship with all my
fellow-creatures. ”
As he finished sjieaking he again pressed
her hand. At the sound of the musical,
masculine voice and the touch of the soft
white hand, a thrill of delight traversed the
firl’s soul. Then and there the truth
awned upon her mind —she was no longer
mistress of her own heart. That heart,
which so many men bad vainly sought to
win, lay, figuratively speaking, at the feet of
Virgil Paine, whom she had once so bitterly
despised, and whose heart she had planned
to win only to fling aside as remorselessly as
she had done with the hearts of other men.
Charlie watched the two with a delight
ed countenance; but a look of unmistaka
ble vexation was stamped upon Pauline’s
face. The pure-hearted girl doubted her
cousin’s sincerity. Only two hours ago she
had heard Florine laugtiingiy boast of the
various methods to which sue resorted in
order to win the affections of men.
“And her feigned repentance is the
method to which the designing creature has
resorted in order to make him fall a victim
to her charms.” said Pauline to herself, and
her tender heart became pained as she
thought of the danger to which Virgil was
exposed. “But Virgil is too noble and
strong-minded to ever be caught in her
trap! The idea of his loving so frivolous
and unscrupulous a woman! It is positively
absurd 1”
But what followed convinced her that she
had erred in her opinion of Virgil.
The young lawyer no longer ignored the
presence of her cousin. He accompanied
Florine to a seat and sat down by her side,
and in a few minutes the two were laugh
ing and chatting gaily together. The rich,
clear voice of the girl, her graceful flow of
language, and the low, sweet peals of
laughter that broke at intervals from her
lips, together with her dark, dazzling
beauty, moved the young lawyer’s heart as
it had never been moved before.
“Each seems to be equally infatuated
with the other!” mused Charlie, as he stood
intently regarding Virgil and Florine. “Oh,
if it could be so—if they could only love
each other! lam sure the influence of such
a man as Virgil would have a most enno
bling effect upon Florine’s character.”
“Isn’t it time we were going, Charlie? It
is almost dark,” said Pauline, breaking upon
her cousin’s reverie. ,
“I should say it was time you all was
aguying home,” said Mr. Morriss’ coach
man, who at this moment appeared upon
the scene. “If you all young folks ain’t
afraid yourselves, you mought at least
have some pity on an ole man like me. If I
stays in dis here place much longer I’ll drop
dead with fright, with de white tombstones
agleaming all around me, de frogs acrack
ing bones down yonder in de grass, de lo
cuses asingiug in de trees, and de river
amoaning like one adying. For God’s
sake, come along! lam in a trimble all
over! ’Sides, if Vou don’t hurry up, Mr.
’Keefe will have de carriage gates closed on
us.”
“Go on, Uncle Hiram. We are coming,”
said Pauline, linking her arm in Charlie's.
“Come, Virgil and Florine,” said the
young minister, touching our hero on the
shoulder. “We are going home now.”
Saying which, Charlie, accompanied by
Pauline and Miiton, descended the path
leading to the road
“They have left us, Miss Florine,” said
Virgil, rising a minute later. “I had no
idea it was so late. It is five minutes after
8 o’clock.”
“Is it really as late as that?” she cried, as
she arose and placed her arm in his. “We
have have spent a delightful half an hour
together.”
“Indeed we have,” answered the infat
uated young lawyer, gazing in that beauti
ful face raised to his in the summer twi
light.
“Oh, Mi'. Paine, isn’t it frightfully ghostly
in this place now,” exclaimed Florine.
“Listen at the dismal roar of the rivers and
the chirping of those horrid katy-didsl”
On reaching the carriage, they found
Charlie, Pauline and Miiton seated in the
vehicle.
“Brother, are you going to ride?” in
quired Milton, looking out of the carriage.
“Of course he is going to ride,” said
Florine, as Virgil handed her in the vehi
cle. '‘Can’t you, my dear, jump out and
ride beside Uncle Hiram. You are only a
little boy, and it doesn’t matter where you
sit. If you remain inside, you will subject
us to discomfort.”
“He shall remain where he is, Florine,”
cried Pauline, with considerable spirit. “If
he is only a little boy, I do not wish him to
ride outside. I prefer to have him remain
inside; but I’ll see he does not subject you
or Mr. Paine to the least discomfort. Come,
Milton, dear, and sit in Miss Paulie’s lap.”
“He can sit in my lap,” said Charlie,
promptly, as he drew the hoy toward him.
“Get in, Virgil. There is room enough for
aii inside:”
“No, I thank you, Charlie. Milton may
ride if he wishes to do so, but I prefer to
walk.”
“Aren’t you going to ride, Mr. Paine?”
cried Florine, in a tone of disappointment.
“I hope you took no offense at what I said
to Milton. If he had been my own brother.
I should have spoken in the same manner.”
“You said nothing that could have of
fended me, Miss Florine. But I decline to
ride. I much prefer to walk. Milton, are
you going to lido or walk? Decide now!”
The boy hesitated a second, and then
hastily kissing Pauline and shaking hands
with Charlie, leaped to the ground, after
which the carriage rolled on swiftly toward
the gate.
The young lawyer and his little brother
walked on in silence until they reached the
cemetery spring, the former wrapt in bliss
ful reverie; the latter trying hard to stifle
his indignation and heartily wishing Florine
had remained in Europe.
“The idea of her wanting me to ride by
the side of an old nigger!” exclaimed the
lad, at length, as he picked up a jiebble and
hurled it spitefully at the trunk of a holly
tree on the other side of the road.
Virgil was in the act of raising the huge
iron dipper to his lips when Milton spoke.
Turning upon the lad, he said sternly:
“What on earth are Pauline and you put
ting on such all’s about nothing for? How
many times when we lived in Culpeper have
you and I rode to and from church by the
side of a negro driver when we had com
pany, to whom, as a matter of courtesy,
we had to surrender our scats inside the car
riage? Something must have occurred to
day to ruffio your angel’s feathers! Bhe
certainly bus not been at all agreeable.”

TORTURE.
A Victim of Inflammatory Rheumatism
Cured by the Use of Prickly Ash,
Poke Root and Potassium.
Office Alapaha Star, I
Ala pah a. Ga., June 9, 1886. f
P. P. P. M'fg. Cos.:
Gentlemen— About nine months ago I
was attacked with Inflammatory Rheu
matism in my feet, back, shoulders and
breast. The pains were excruciating
and continuous. For six weeks I was
confined to my bed. and part of the time
had to be assisted to turn over. At times
I could not sit up, if to do so would have
secured a fortune. My feet were swollen
and the bottoms of them so tender that
walking was a constant source of the
liveliest misery. It would be impossible
to express in words the agony 1 endured.
1 tried a number of remedies, so-called,
and some of them afforded temporary
relief, but it was only temporary, and I
lieganto despair of finding a cure. I had
had heard several gentlemen speak of a
new Rheumatism cure manufactured at
Waycross.and while I listened I doubted.
Finally I met two or three parties who
had tried this new medicine and had
been cured, and I decided to procure a
pint of it and test its virtues. This I did,
and was satisfied 1 had l>een benefited.
Well, to make a long story short, I con
tinued to take the medicine until I had
used three and a halt quart bottles, im
proving all the while in my general
health, and noticing a steady decrease
in the Rheumatism. When the half of
the fourth quart was finished, I felt as
well as I ever did in iny life, with only
an occasional touch of Rheumatism,
and since taking the first quart 1 have
been able to attend to my duties in the
office, not having lost a moment since
on account of iny former enemy.
I shall take two or three quarts more
of P. P. P , beginning al>out two mouths
from the time I left off taking it; and I
am confident that the last vestige of the
dreadful malady will be driven from my
system.
I do not say that P. P. P. wrought this
wonderful cure, but I do assert., most
emphatically, that I derived no perma
