WHO BIDES HIS TIME.
Who bides his lime. and day by day
E.oas J,.fao+Pfull aattenfly


Who bides his iime and day by day
Faces defeatTfull patiently
And lifts u mirthful round delay
However poor his fortunes be-
He will not fail in any qualm
OF poverty-the Paltry dime
1t will grow golden in his palm.
Who bidcs his time.
Who bides his time-he tastes the sweet
OF honey in the saltest tear;
And though he fares with slowest feet
Joy runs to meet him, drawing near I;
The birds are heralds of his cause,

The roadsides bloom in hsarplauso-
Who bides his time,
Who bides his time, and fevers not
In the hot race that mono achieves,
Shall wear cool wreathen laurel, wrought
With crimson berries in the leaves,
And be shall reign a goodly king,
Aud sway his hand DER every cline,
With peace writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.

Who He Was and Is.

John Ward, OF the Winoua
, Times a school fellow of Gov. Low
rs in the o!ilen time, and who fro.
quently stole his lunch while he
was studying, speaks thus famil.
Iary of Gov. Lowry:
Bob Lowry-we call him Bob BE-
cause we know him so we'll, you
know born in the State of
South Carolina; date OF birth not
given because he is wi1OwerI
you know, and he looks a blamed
sight younger than be is. His par
ents tried to raise him. in Smith
county, but Bob kicked and moved
into Brandon, which was then put
ting on SOME style. He knew that
it he remained in Smith he could
never get hey ond fall-fap breeches
aud homespun gallOwses - and he
shook Smith as sOon as store shirts
were introduced. 1t didn't take
the Smith county boy long to show
Rahkinites that he was too peaTt for
tue blue.back spelling book. He
was raised Whig; and if old man
Lowry had caught him whoOping
up Democratic procession in his
day, he would have lifted young
Robert out of his homespun pauta-
loons, you bet. He wasn't long in
Brandon before he went into law
with Spanish hidlagO named
AlonzU whom as Governor lie has
made Judge. That is, the Lord
and hard study made him Judge,
but Bro. Lowry gave him the Office,
Governor Lowry married young
and his crop Of children was large.
He was raising man when the war
came on, and he laid aside his law
books aud went IN aud tit like a
wolf to the end and he came out
dead broke. He didn't have moth.
ing but glory, and he cOnldn't dis
count that with the banks. But he
flung open his office and clients
came in, aud be was climbing to
the top OF the tree, when the Dem.
OcratS caught him aud made him
Governor. That settled his hash
pecunidrly, and closed his bank ac.
count. Having abused and cursed
bin through four years term, the
dear people with one accord rose
up and shouted to shove him in
again. Gen. Lowry has made u
rattliBg good Governor, and every
body knows it, aud will fling him
back into The Executive chamber
such rouSing vote that il will
make his head swim.

just tnen Il Suuuen turn around
sharp corner showed them, high
on the rocky ridge beyond, the fort
for which they were making. But
between them and it yawnpd hid
eOus chasm several hundred feet in
depth, spanned by one of those
I peIilous bridges which one sees also
in South America, consisting mere
~ Of two ropes, one above anot her,
the lower for the feet and the upper
for the bands. Hanging above that
dreadful gulf, the two cords looked
no bigger than spiders threads +;
but this was their only chance.
Suatching off his scarf, Ismail
hlindfOlded Mrs. Harcourt with it.
and bidding Minnie shut her eyes
and clink tightly to his neck, he
led the mother forward to the ropes,
placed her hand on the upper one
and her foot on the lower, and told
her 10 go forward aud fear nothing
until she felt herself on firm ground.
Then he stepped in front OF her,
and holding the child in one arm,
went fearlessly along the terrible
passage.
At that moment the Afghans
came over tue brow of the hill be-
hind, and raised howl of fury AS
they saw their prey about to es-
cape. Que man leveled bis rifle at
the fugltivps, but instantly lowered
it again, for they could not fire at
ISuail without the risk of hitting
Mrs. Harcourt or Minnie, whose
ransom would make them rich for
life. If it was possible TO take the
pair alive the Afghans were deter
mined to do it.
And now the excitement of this
race for life and death rose to a
height. Down came the pursuers
with trightful yells, plugging head
long through the SNOW, while the
lugitives crawled foot by foot along
the perilOuS bridge. Now they were
halfway across, now thrPe.quarterS,
and now, with long deep breath
OF relief, the brave Beloochi set
down Minnie upon the opposite
bank, aud placed Mrs. HarcOurt
beside her But as he rose to his
feet again, three rifles cracked at
Ouce, aud poor Ismail fell heavily
upon his face among the stones.
"SAavash y (wpll dOne) rOared
the Afghan leader. Forward, com-
rades, there is no one to stop us
nOw.1
Shouting wildly, the cruel gang
darfcd toward the bridge, and were
already some distance along il,
when Ismail Beg, mOrtally wound
ed though he was, raised himself
on his knees with a last effort, aud
with one furious slash OF his dag
ger cnt the upper rope right
through. One wild cry rang through
the aIr as the fierce pursuers tell
headlOng down the black unfath-
depth below, aud then all
was still.
That very evening Colonel Har-
court, bavIng seeu his wife and
child safely established in the fort,
salieG forth at the head of Il party
lf his best men, aud brought in the
body of poor ISmail, which was
buried the next day with military |
IOnOrs under tree in u corner OF |
he great court, with a simple
wooden cross over it, upon which
he ColoUel engraved with his own
Iand:
"Greater love hath no man than
his, that Il man lay down his lie
