SONG.
by MhTIILDE BLIND.

Oh. haste while roses bloom below.
Oh, haste while pale and bright above
Ne sun and moon alternate glow,
To pluck the rose of love.
Yea, give the morning to the lark.
The nightingale its glimmering grove,
Give moonlight to the hungry dark.
But to mans heart give love!
Then haste while still the roses blow,
And pale and bright in heaven above
The sun and moon alternate glow.
Pluck, pluck the rose of love.

Has modern authorship lost its temper are
we fallen upon bitter days in letters! On an
other page we quote some recent retorts viva
cious from Mr. Swinburne and Nine Sarah
Grand the latter has descended upon more
than one English reviewer with fury, and MISS
Corelli has venturcd TO say in print things more
incisivc than urbane about some one VINO had
titilaied her nerves. II these angry authors
were witty we could observe their divagations
with some patience. As they happen to be
merely shr abusive and dull. 1t Is odds that
public sympathy will go to the victims OF their
reckless castigation. The best Of all good coun-
sells for an author Is TO hold his tongue under
provocati0n. Jowctt used TO urge Tennyson not
to mind the flea Li,eS' of his journalistic CON
temporlrics. Though he never got accustomed
to the stings, he at least refrained from carry
Ing his grievance into print, except upon one
occasion, when he was sure OF emerging from
the transaction with dignity. Even the apoc-
alyptic Mr. Swnburnc might probably consider
the late laureate's example. 1t would cost him
little effort if he really has that scorn Of the
Offender which he processes TO hold and il would
keep him from making himself ridiculous.

be shown by his letter to the Minister for For

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue.
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of I'll e remedy as II medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene.
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact.
uring, figs are USED, as they arc
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most bcnehcially.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

Railroad Collision.
Pay Train Collides with the
GcKees Stage Saturday
Afternoon
Three Persons rithin a Moment of
Death. Miraculous Intervention
o. a Moment Surcs them.

One second more and the pendu-
lum of coincidence, ON Saturday
afternoon, would have repeated the
awful tragedy of Jan. 25, 1895.
The pay train of the Sunbury &
lewistown Division going west at
the rate of 5miles an hour, collided
with the McKccs stage near Mrs.
Catharine Bowers in Swineford.
The engine struck the horse on the
near side, in the region of the front
legs cutting him up pretty badly and
throwing it's heart out on the bank.
The other horse, strange to say, re-
ceived but a few scratches and is in
no danger. The stage was a cover
ed wagon carrying three persons,
Fisher of Mckees, the stage driver,
Lizzie Musser of franklin township
on her way to visit her mother at
Fremont and Geo. r. G. Harper of
Shamokin, semi.mute, bound also
for Fremont to see a mute friend.
How these peopleescaped withtheir
lives is as much a mystery asshow
the mules escaped injury in the
Kreamer collision. In 80 many re-
spects n this collision similar to the
awful fate at Kreamer that is still
SO fresh in our memory. 'Tis true,
in this no human lives were hurled
into eternity, but the way It all hap
ped is so similar that we can not
help alluding to it.
None of the persons were very
much injured considering that they
were withina moment of death. The
driver received few bruises and
scratches. MIR. Harper was also
bruised considerably, having been
under one of the horses. Miss Mus
ser, too, sustained some injuries and
and perhaps more than she is aware.
Her clothing was badly torn, and
she is suffering considerably from
bruises.
The officers otthe company were
here on Monday and effected set
tlemcnt with all the parties they
could. They have shown every evi-
dcn" to deal fairly with those who
were so unfortunate as to bc in the
accident.
