6 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. THS TURN OF THE TIDE. Mm anay fondle your fame, Ilk a hunted his Rama, Jd exult in the roar and the rattle, TOI the multitude shout and the can non blaze out praise of the victor In battle; the victor will pine when the nbout ngn subside, another will shine at the turn of the tide. i may Rnrner your gain, like a farmer his grain, Ad boast of your bonds and your money ; fsa may gather your wealth by struggle or stealth, , gathers the bee Its honey; But your honey will pall In the heat of your pride, And! turn Into gall at the turn of the tide. Tteu may subjugate men, as swine to the pen By the rod of the tyrant are driven: Tou may flourish the whip with a merci less grip, While force to your Angers Is given; But your fingers will fall, and the men you deride Wni flourish the flail at the turn of the tide. Ten may prosper by wrong, ns tyrants do, long, And rule like a pitiless Nero; And the truculent slave may lustily rave In praise of his maculnte hero: But the tyrant will quail when the Judge shall decide, And the right will prevail, at the turn of tho tide. George Whitman, I. D., In Chicago Standard. The Waiting ol Mr. Horace $ By Sarah Lindsay Coleman. ffi (CopjrlKbt, bj !! Authors' Sjiulk'ita.) A Lt nature seemed joyous and J bright that afternoon, for sprinp bad returned to Carolina, On every hide the iron plowshare had gone deep into the heart of the fields, nnd the earth had a fresh smell that caused n vngrue thrill of pleasure. But Mr. Horace noticed none of these thing's ns he rode slowly past the Bryuon orchard. The sunshine ac centuated the weary lines of his face, the dejected droop of hia shoulders. "Poor Mr. Horace,'" Mrs. Bryson said to her husband, aa he passed her gate, "If ever a man was faithful, he is?. But he will never win, and he knows it. I believe I will ask him for a netting- of turkey eggs."' She sped down the walk aa nimbly as if she bad been 29 instead of 60. Mr. Horace brought hia old gray mare to a halt, and waited for his asighbor to catch her breath. "Turkey egge?" he asked, with old BMshioned politeness, "certainly, sands m." Mrs Bryson drew nearer, sand in her earnestness caught the srt by the bridle rein. "Mr. Horace Mr. Horace," she said, desperately, "Hn not turkey eggs! It's been po sh on no long! You will never win! Why, you are a by-word for courting On the whole settlement, Mr. Horace," ' nleadingly, for he waa looking down at her in sucih a helpless, bewildered (aehion; "Rouse yourself! Marry her ua spite of herself! Good evening, sir. Ska ran back uo the path to her Berne. Mr. Horace jogged on. His face re rsstased its dejection, and his shoulders drooped sympathetically. Twenty-five years is a long look nek. He waa a elira younir fellow, Ball of hope and youth, that first Sun- iay afternoon ne rode up to Mary HiU'e gate, hitched (his horse, and went in to begin the siege of her heart; and 6he was young, and the prettiest girl in all the county. For ten years he had ridden to her house, and then had ridden nway. The visits ended suddenly, and a 'month later Mr. Horace was married, Mr. Horace's little wife never com plained, but at the end of five years "h found the burden of life too heavy, nd laid it down. It was ten years from the time of hJ ife's death, and 26 years from the time of his trst wooing, as he went up the path so Miss Hill's home. Strange thoughts no thronging his brain. As he put one foot behind him for his old-fashioned bow, he felt decidedly bewil iered to hear the words: "Master her Why. you art a by-word for court- He looked up to see if she had hesrd the loud-spoken words. She was Broiling and inviting him into the old-fashioned parlor. "AH alone?" lie questioned. "Yea," with a faint flush at the eagerness of his tone. And then she fold him that the family were away lur the -day. With an impatient mo tion ha pastted his hand across his brow, as though he brushed imaginary eubwebs I'rom his brain. ".Vow's the timet Marry her in spite of herself! Rouse yourself!" now the words rang tin his ears. He asked for some water, and when Sfiae Hill returned she dimly realized that a change had passed over him. Mr. Horace hud pulled himself together, He sat down, and held himself erect, tie spoke with a dignity new to him. "Mary," he said, "it's 25 years since I first hiteihed my horse to your gate ,06t. and, ns I look bnJ, it seems all Sunday nfternoons when I have come to see you." He grew eloquent. He even men tioned the rides through June sunshine iad December snow, and the horse irrown old in his service. She listened quietly her delicate face calm. One would never have dreamed of the tur moil of her henrt. Many a time when she felt that he needed a woman's care the had pitied him. She hud worried .jest his stockings were not darned, his food well prepared. Grieved to the heart she sent him from her. Each Sun day she regarded her pretty faded face anxiously as she removed her hat and looked in the mirror, conscious of the Qresh faces in their radiant youth that hat lad ejecnpiea the pew behind hers. -I m so delicate and nervous." It had always been her cry. "Your children need a strong will to govern them." "Yours is strong enough," he said, grimly. "I could tiot be a burden, although I have money." S he lifted her head iu a proud way. "Try me," he said. "See if I find you a burden." "You don't understand." Her eyes filled with tears. "I will never marry you. I am too delicate!" "You nhall!" His lips took deter mined curves she had never seen be fore. "I have been a patient man, but now " "There's the young minister," she rose, hurriedly. "Kntertain him a few minutes, please." She slipped from the room. ' "Marry her in spite of herself. Now! Now! Where there is a villi" He started as if an electric battery had charged him nt the next thought. "No license needed." He greeted the min ister quietly. The conversation moved idly as they waited for Miss Hill to come in again. After she had spoken to her guest, Mr. Horace crossed the room to where she stood. His shoulders were well back, his head held high, his step that of a conqueror. "Brother Simnis," he said, gravely, "you come at a most opportune time. My courting is the talk of the neighhorhood, and we art going to put an end to the gossip." "Mr. Horace, this is so sudden!" tha minister gasped. "Unlike my courting," grimly, "But the family is away!" "It is Miss Hill I want to marry. Will yon perform the ceremony, Brothel Simms?" "Not without witnesses." The minis ter drew himself up with sudden min isterial pomp. Mr. Horace stepped from the window and swept the landscape with anxious eyes. The clang of a cowbell cut the soft air. Old Ben Mas crossing the yard, his grandson, a boy of 12 or 14 years, following him. He came over to the porch in obedience to the sum moning hand, and his eyes grew large as he entered the house with the boy. The cows were slowing filing through the barn yard gate. The sun had set. and its soft light filled the room. The minister opened a prayer-book. The expression on Miss Hill's face puzzled him. He remembered that she hod said nothing. "Miss Hill," the minister began. "Would I force her to marry me, Brother Simms?" Mr. Horace's eyes were full of entreaty as he turned them on her. "Are you willing, Miss Hill?" "Yes." faintly. Then in clearer tones: "Perfectly willing." There was an exultant ring in the man's voice as he made the responses; the woman's voice was low, but audible. Ben shuffled forward and congratu lated thein; "but she don't act like herself," he muttered as he went out. The minister's departure left them alone. Old Mr. Horace drew his bride to his heart and held her there in si lence. ' A man has wisdom straight from the gods who refrains from speech at such a time. "Horace," Mr. Horace's wife's voice was full of regret. "If you had mar ried me before now I am old." He looked at her fondly, and they kissed each other, these middle-aged lovers. "What will they say?" she asked. "My people and the neigh bors?" A faint rumbling of wheels was heard. "They will say old Horace Stringfield has asserted himself at lust." He pat ted her hand, and chuekled as his horse's impatient neighing grew more frequent. "Old fellow," he called, and his voice rang like a boy's, "be patient, my waiting is over." The girl is the mother of the woman just as "the boy is the father of the man." The period wnen tne womanly functions begin is one to be carefully watched and considered. irregularity and derangement at this time may be promptly met and cured by the use ol Dr. Fierce' favorite Prescription. But neglected at this critical period may entail years ol future suttenng. "favorite Fre scriplion" acts directly upon the womanly organs giving them perfect vigor and abund ant vitality. It removes the obstructions to health and happiness and delivers woman hood from the cruel bondage of "female weakness." "You pay the postage. Or. Pierce gives you the book.

This is by far the strongest and best fiction from a pen noted for its humor and pathos. As "Uncle lom's Cabin" in us day held the reader captive, so does this novel of the new Jxegro, enfranchised but still a charge upon our consciences. Opening with a false ar rest, trial, so-called, and conviction in a Southern town, the tale shifts to New York. Here the writer speaks from the heart when he says of the Southern Negroes who come North seeking their fortunes : "It was better for them to sing to God across the Southern fields." In the cases of Joe Hamilton and his pretty sister Kitty this was undeniably the truth. Towards the end a "yellow" jour- nal reporter discovers the secret of the early arrest. His acumen not only brings glory to his paper, but reunites those with whom the "gods" have been "sporting." In addition to the complete novel there is plenty of good short fiction, varied in theme, in the May "New Lippincott." A story of Mexico, by Edwin Knight Buttoiph, called "The Slavery of Moises," gives a glowing instance of a man's sacrifice for one he loves. "The Supreme Court of Love," by Julia MacNiir Wright, is an amusing prose farce in an apartment house. Jessie Van Zile Belden's little story called "Tony" has to do with the softer side of a United States Sena tor. In this some violets, a lovely woman, and innocent little "Tony" are important factors. The College Tale this month is in honor of Chicago. It is called "The Head Marshal of the University of Chicago, and is written by James Weber Linn, assistant in the department of rhetoric in Chicago. He has written other talcs of undergraduate life, but none 10 excel this lively one. Much has been told about China, but nothing, has been written at once so dramatic and so convincing in regard to missionary life as the two incidents given under the title "In the Dragon's Grip." They are recorded by Frederick Poole, for many years missionary, to whom and his wife they befell. Mr. Poole is now working among the Chinese in tlip country. His signature in Chinese charac ters at the cljse of the article is typical. "Every-day Superstitions," by Charles M. Skinner, deals with some human failings, giving origin and giowth. "Oveiheard in Arcady," by Dr. Charles C. Abbott, is a beautiful little essay on bird life from one whose days are spent in inti mate listening to the wliispercd notes 111 woods and fields. Poetry takes a forward'place in the Mav "New Lippincott:" "Can Such Things lie?" a sonnet of rare felicity, is by Madison Caw ein; "The Loss of the First Born," by Ma bel Thornton Whitmore. Edith M.
