Through every pulse the Music stole, And held sublime communion with the Soul; VTrun r from the coyest Breast the imprison'd sigh, And kindled rapture in the coldest Eye. Such wa? the effect as the airs of music touche.l the ears of those who gayly danced, on list "Wednesday night under the sway of the sweet power of Bearden'* Band. Whether the murmuring dvinv notes that fell "as soft as the anow ou the sea," or the passionate strains that shook the heart trembling, whether slow or quick, they all alike, in their concord of sweet sounds, sweetened the pleasure, -cjv^kened the b?at of the heart, made the wyes sparkle and flash with delight; and the subtle bloom of youthful checks, never vet ploughed with sorrows, gave their possessors grace and glow, "as the dew-chrism of early dawn graces the lily." Under the well-kept time ?f a b?au tiful march rolling its delightful measures up and down, from corner to-corner, from side to side, from the Boor to the ceiling-of the large armory, until the whole building rererberated and seemed, attuned to its enchanting hofes and echoed back with enraptured dtlight, the merry dancers came forth, two by two, richly and gaudily attired; some dignified, stately and preud; some full of the restlessness and thojj^ of girlhood and its auroral light illuminating them; some with a reckless bearing^ but all filling almost faultlessly their respective personation?. Thuf was begun the much-talked-of fancy ball. . It was a scene brim full of splendor such ae has never keen seen in Winnsboro before. Verily, it did seem to one, beholding that charming troupe ~-c t l 1 U1 ueaiUll U1 1I1U iiaim?uinc rrumcuj that Tennyson spoke the truth, and not without tltought, when he said of woman: No Angel, but* dearer beintr, all dipt. In Angel instincts, breathing Paradise, Interpreter between <iods and men, Who looked all native to her place, and yet On tiptoe secuied to touch upon a sphere Too gross to tjread, and a!i male minds perforce Swayed to her from their orbits as they inoVed 1 And cirdleJ her with music. Y?s, as tnt throng moved to ana fro it was grand, a picture of dazzling glory and unspeakable splendor; and the tendsr lips breaking with the brightness of smile all abaut the scene and the manly bearing of manly men, gallant and brave, were enough to provoke the profoundest admiration. The Maid at the Court of England walked proud and wore ihe stamp of dignity on her brow; JNignt witn ner dewy freshness lilled the air aud through the dark bl*e depths of space her stars loeked the spectacle with their silYery rays; Empress Josephine walked deservedly conscious of her noble blood; Folly verified the words of La Rochefoucauld: "There are follies as catching as contagious disorders," or as Shakespeare lays: "Follyri?r Wisdom hatch'd, hath Wisdom's warrant;" Mercury winged the messages of the gods; the Maid of Honor at the Venetian Court served cliacncingly in that role and her ii-- -J J . il.. grace was universally aauurcu; uic Maid of Sa'ragossa recalled th? thrilling-' tragedy, c# the finking of her lorer and she.-brarelr "filling hit fatal post;" lone was superbly grandiloquent; Butter-cup dispensed taffy in spite of the admonition of her cousins and aunts. "Old Fashion Girl" brought a brooding of. memories long ago; the D?ll Baby made the children glad; th? Blue Birds bluenesi embellished the picture; and Martha AVasbingtonmade hftr sdmlren brood with miser lore over tlie birth of the Republic. 'Ihuswas the Fancy Bail in full progress, and after the German, beginning at 2 o'clock, gracefully led by Mr. J. 11. Tillman, the danccrs, at 4 o'.clock in the morning, weut home for rest at heart, and with pleasant memories of the end of the old and the beginning of the ne x year.

Because it lias proven its absolute merit over ahd over again, because it has an unequalled record of cures, because its business is conducted in a thoroughly honest manner, and because it combines economy and strength being the only medicine of -which "100 Doses Oae Dollar' is true?these strong points have made Hood's Sar aparilla the most ?uccessful medicine of the day. * Be Sure If you have mad? up your mind to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take any other. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar , medicine, possessing, by virtue of Its peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example is worthy imitation, tells her experience below: - To Get " In one store where I went to buy Hood's i Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy | their own instead of Hood's: he told me their's | would last longer; that I might"take it on ten , days' trial; that il I did not like ItXneed not pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail on me to change.
