Two Weeks in Florida.

To see Florida is pleasure; to visit it is
a privilege but to spend fortnight within
its borders is an epoch. There is great
satisfaction in witnessing the ripeniDg Of
tropical fruits 10 their own native land,
and peculiar joy in wrestling with old
oceans waves when lakes and rivers at
home are all ice-bound. One appreciates
the wonders of modern invention and rail-
road Development upon leaving the neigh
borhood of good skating one day and find
ing himself in the vicinity of good bathing
the next. Yet this can be done, and the
man who prefers hunting or fishing will
take his accoutrements along with him, for
Florida extends q cordial invitation to all
sportsmen.
Whoever would exchange for two weeks
the uncertain climate of the North for the
delightful and Spring-like sunshine Of
Florida should take the personally CON
