The affair came off about as ordered by

The Astronomer
z. c. FULLER


They had lived and loved and married.
But in taste they did not agree;
While still together they ,arried
Each was longing to be free.
And at last loves bands were riven.
For they fought with equal zest;
Half his wealth to her was given,
And the lawyers took the rest.
F.om their severed ways depression
He had hoped to settle down
To attend to his profession
And b. working gain renown.
But fame's meteoric brightness
Asagreat astronomer,
Seemed to quickly lose its brightness
When he missed the smiles OF her.
And he had that tired feeling,
That his labor was In vain
And the chains were round him stealing
That draw down to sims domain.
For the dipper's charms no longer
Did his glowing passion yearn,
But for something that was stronger
Now taste began to burn.
Never even did he ponder
On the signals just from Mars;
To the opera he would wander
There to hear the singing stars.
And one night he became enamored
OF a singers voice so sweet.
For her love his spirit amored
To retard his downward feet
Costly flowers he 1T would send her,
Laden with the gardens breath.
And a score OF notes he penned her
That to lose her would be death.
Soon a meeting was appointed,
He prepared him for the strife,
And with loves true grace anointed,
He soon met his former wl.el
For her hand with ardor plead he,
AS in earlier, brighter yea 5;
All those horrid. dark spots. said he,
Twill wash away with tears
Now again they are united
In the bands of truest love,
And their lives will move on plighteG
While the stars shall shine above.

$.0226 % to carry the letter for whose

A WEEK AT ST. MARTINS.
A Place Where Any One Can
Have a Good Time.

returned to the house and enjoyed
a good square meal, and then, after
pleasant evening chat, retired
again to our bed.
Friday morning was beautiful
morning. With the cool breeze
from the gulf blowing briskly, one
could walk out enjoying himself
hugely.
With our fishing tackle and
plenty of bait we repaired to the
dock and proceeded to get ac-
quainted with the fnny tribe.
The first fish we hung we
thought was a whale from the'waY
our pole bent and the line whizzed
through the water like skY-rocket.
We halloaed and pulled for some
time before we knew what we had
hung. When we got him close to
the bank we saw his mouth was
underneath and he had teeth, and
then we were certain we had a
whale or some other sort of a sea
animal. But we were soon told
it was a shark, and then you can
imagine how we shuddered, not
moving but that he was a man.
eater (tor you know we came from
Missouri, and there are no sharks
there) But we got him ashore all
right, and I tell you we enjoyed
fishing that morning.
In the afternoon we were taken
to the timber and shown a gator S
nest, which contained something
over one hundred and fifty eggs,
and while there we thought, now,
if all those eggs should hatch at
once, what would become of US?
However, we got back to the
house all right, and spent the
evening in fishing and talking and
boat riding.
Saturday morning we went fish
ing again for little while, for you
arc we'll aware a newsp aper man
never gets tired getting hold of
things that are good to eat.
About 10 o'clock we were taken
by DuPree, one of those good
natured boys who knows how to
entertain people and make them
enjoy themselves, in a skiff and
shown around over the different
islands, introduced to neighbors
and made to enjoy general good
time. He procured a beautiful
sail boat, "Sharpy," of the P1att
boys, their own being a little out
of repair, and gave us a delightful
sail around over the bay and up
the river to the house.
After supper We were taken in a
skif some distance down St. Mar
tins River, where we surrounded
a school of mullet with net and
made splendid haul. This was
our first experience of this sort,
and it was quite treat.
Sunday was another beautiful
day, and day on those islands
when neighborS meet and have
good time.
Mr.. Walter Burt and sister, Miss
Beulah, had been escorted fromH Ho-
to the residence of Mr..
Wheeler in a skiff on Saturday
night by Fred, and were there to
enjoy the day, while Mrs. Briggs
and family, Miss Clara Pratt and
Prof. Walker and wife were guests
