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. MOKNINCi NEWS LIBRARY NO, 8.

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.” iTO ms CONTINUED.] LEMON ELIXIR. A Pleasant Lomon Drink.

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 nent relief until after I took the first bottle. Yours truly, J. W. HANLON. One dollar will get a bottle of this great remedy. P. P. P. It is a sure cure for Rheu matism. For sale by all medicine dealers.
