been making sad havoc with the hearts
OF the residents of this, the fairest city
OF the South, during these last autumna1
days. He has been up as early as in
the morning, and in his sport. becoming
sucn a good archer as TO leave his marks

try her fortune. No end Of plans are in
her mind, and even now she is anx-
ious to know her fate. in this her first
glimpse Of the world. She has dec-~>u to
roast chestnuts in the glowing embers.
Lighting her candles, she will eagerly
watch to see how ey burn. Throwing
her dignity to the winds she will endeav-

Sitting with her cavalier of the evening
on the sofa. she will save each precious
orange seed, and last but not least she
will, after much forethought, cut a slice 4
from the lucky Gaze, hoping against hope. (

IS sure sign Of happiness in the flu
