We watch together; bat In shade and shine Ton see the golden future of your ways, And I the light that shone on vanished days: No; though together eyes and hearts com bine, I cannot see your pictures, nor you mine. Yet, as the fire burns low, and sinks the blaze, From the cold hearth I turn-a moment gaze- And read our union in those looks of thine When on the hearth of life the fire burns low. Wherein our lonely dreams 1 and visions * shone— When the last picture sinks with all the rest— Dear, may we turn as trustfully as now, May we as gladly quit the cold hearth stone, And know that Love’s Reality is best « * * Where will women wear their watches next? The latest and most up to date fad is to wear them tucked away in the folds of the collar band, or tie. Here, at least, they are burglar proof. They have been worn attached to long chains and stuck in between two upper buttons of the shirtwaist. It has been the fashion to tuck them into the belt, with charms and mascots dangling from a fob chain. They have even been pinned from jeweled clasps high up on the bodice, in full view, and almost with a 'written invitation to a passing thief; and there were dainty little enameled affairs which would make any shoplifter green with envy. Then, again, watches have been hung from chatelaines, worn in leather bracelets on the arm, in miniatures set in precious stones, and en fingers, as rings. Card cases, with tiny watches inserted in one corner of the leather , cover, have been a recent Parisian novelty, but never before has it been the society fad to wear a waich >t the nock. To be carried in this later way, the watch must, of necessity, be a tiny thing, and not too thick. It is sus pended, as before, from a long chain which, when it falls to the waist line, and is then taken up again to the col lar, gives a pretty and graceful effect. Theo, in the folds of velvet, ribbons or silk, in between the collar band and the collar itself, the watch is placed. * * * Miss Harriot Cope Mills, who has just spent several days with her par ents, Col. and Mrs, Thomas Mills, was the recipient of much delightful atten tion during her stay. One of the pret tiest courtesies shown her was the tea with which Capt. Louis Girrard com plimented Miss Mills Monday evening. The elaborate menu was served on a table, handsomely decorated with chrysanthemums and nasturtiums, af ter which the hours were delightfully epent around glowing camp fires. Capt. Girrard is one of the handsomest and most intelligent officers of the Third regiment, and entertains very pleasantly. Miss Mills is a beautiful girl, with charming manners, and is considered one of the brightest stu dents at Gainesville College. Capt- Girrard’s guests were Miss Mills, Miss Girrard, Miss Ethel Watt, Miss Jack sonia Mills, Miss Harriot Cope Mills, Lieut. Lee Branch, Lieut. Chas. Cater, Bergt. Wilson, Lieut. Harris. The Dorcas Society held the usual fortnightly business meeting Monday afternoon, at the residence of Mrs. T. R. Mills. » » * Who believes in mascots? Our sol diers do, hence our fashionable young women do also Charms have been worn on watch chains, on bracelets, and on cbatelaires, and four leafed clovers in crystal lockets have been very popular all the summer. But now you must do away with alJL>your inan imate mascots, and have live ones. White mice, aligators, pigs, goats and monkeys are affected by some young women. So to be thoroughly up to date, one is expected to take about for gooo luek, a rial, live mascot. see Mrs. Baldwin g Pavia entertained the Social Circle very charmingly on Wednesday afternoon at her Tenth street homo. This home is beautiful, with very handsome furnishings, and jo presided over by one Grin’s brightest and most attractive young matrons.

Davis and Mies Leila Price, of Eufaula, Ala, received the guests, and together made a charming trio. The young hostess wore a lovely reception gown of blue-grey cloth, elaborately braided in black. Mrs William pavis wore an elegant gown of black net over black taffetas, with the bodice finished in a most becoming garmiture of pink vel vet. Miss Price's gown was of white grenadine, showing a delicate Dresden pattern of pink roses with soft green foliage. The bodice was finished with green chiffon and ribbons, with touch of pink at the throat Mrs. Davis, as usual, proved herself a most charming hostess, and the afternoon will be pleasantly remembered by the large number of guests present. * * ♦ Mies Annie Girrard, who has been the.guest of the Misses Mills for the past fortnight, will return to her home in Columbus Tuesday.

Should some one say to me one day, “Your love is false; she is but clay 1 ” I’d but reply, “Look in her eyes.” And he would start in glad surprise To see the pureness mirrored thertt; And in her face, so freshly fair, He would behold the rose’s blush Os modesty. f Nor could the thrush, Nor could the lark, trill notes more sweet Than her clear voice. So, at her feet, He who scorned would lay his love, And crown her queer. To Him above A prayer would rise, and be enrolled " In God’s own book—a prayer that told Os purity and sweetness rare— Found in woman’s face so fair! • • * The Dorcas Society will have a bus iness meeting tomorrow afternoon at the usual place. * • • Owing to illness in the family,-of the regent, Mrs. R.

BUIS. The Spanish Cruiser Goes to Pieces ia a Terrific Storm Charleston, Nov. s—The Ocean tug Merritt put into Charleston this morning for supplies. She reported the loe* of the cruiser Maria Terese, raised by Constructor Hobson recently off San Salvador, Bahamas, November 1, in the midst of a furious stofm The cruiser left Calmenera, Cuba, on the morning of Oct. 30, in low A for New York. She bad already passed Cape Mayai and started northeast around the Bahamas A furious storm, warning of which had already been sent out, overtook her and in her condition she was unable to weather • the gale. The strain opened rents in her hull which had been patched to enable her to make the journey and , she began to fill'rapidly. The Merritt took off Captain Harris i and the crew from the sinking ship ( and she went down. The Merritt , brought the one hundred aud thirty-six men who will proceed north by rail. No lives were lost as far as known. Bobbed, the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortun ately, a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters;’ and to my great joy and sur prise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50cts per bottle at J. N. Harris A Son’s and Carlisle & Ward’s drug store. Proud of Himself. Pulpit orators in San Francisco are not unlike the shifting sand, says the News Letter. They change rapidly and occasionally become soggy. At present the most prominent preacher in the city is the Rev. Charles Edward Locke, a bright and shining ornament of Methodism, who bolds forth in the Central church. A week or two ago Dr. Locke was being shown through Grace church by an Episcopalian admirer. Gazing in terestedly at the stars painted on the ceiling, the visitor inquired if they bad any special significance. “Ob,” was the reply, “you know what the Bible says: ‘He made the stars also.” "Ah,” commented the Methodist parson. “Do you know Che difference between your church and ours?” "Ob, I don’t know,” said the Epis copal adherent, doubtfully. “What is it?” “You put your stars in the ceiling. We put ours in the pulpit,” was the enigmatical answer.

A.A-LdJSB TheCoetoflht V*r- Th< treasury department in its stotemvnt for October, estimates khat the war with Spain thus far has co*t the fUnited Stales one hubdred and |ixty million dollars in net cash, f This enormous etlm is in addi tion th the amount appropriated for ths a|my and navy to put them on a footing rendered necessary by the ap proach of hostilities. The expendi tures on account of the war up to the end of August were one hundred and fifteen million dollars Another forty five' trillion dollars was spent in the months of September and October. When the expense of maintaining the garrisons in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines is added, the experts fig ure that by the close of the present year the war will have cost this gov ernment irr round numbers two hun dred wnd forty million dollars. Spain demands that we pay her a large sum for the Philippines. Now if the Spanish government insists on res jecting our offer, the thing for ns to do is to make out a bill against Spain for 1240,000,000, and demand a cash pay ment, backing up the demand with our army and navy. If the United States should take this action, the Philippines would not be a drop in the bucket toward liquidating the claim of the United State*, and this claim is a just one. No European power provofi 1 . ed heto war with another country would think of agreeing to terms of peace without incorporating their bill of expenses in the proceedings and exacting every dollar of it from the vauquiabed foe.—Columbus Enquirer.
