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.

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."

The May New Lippincott
Paul Laurence Dunbar's new novel, "The
Sport of the Gods," is published entire in
the May '-New Lippincott Magazine." 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

Poetry takes a forward'place in the Mav
