SONG TO THE EBB TIDE.
While sit here softly musing,
On the rocky pebbly shorc,
Thoughts of future am losing
In the waters sullen roar.
Thoughts that shine amid my day dreams
And with daylight ne'er depart,
But return with three-fold lustre
And carve themselves upon my heart
Thoughts of past too, are endearing,
Yet the Futures seem more bright;
Brighter than the stars of Heaven
Shining upon clear cold night.
Oh, We gentle, murmlring waves,
Flowing onward to the sea-
TO sailor, true and brave,
Wit thou bear q message for met
'Tis message from his true love.
True and faithful she'll ever be
10 the sailor she loves so dearly,
Sailing DER the dark blue sea.
Years ago my lover left me,
Lett me with solemn vow;
With VOW and fond caresses:
oh! long to see him now.
some say he has we'd maiden
On the shores of fair Italy,
But know my true loves faithful,
And forever will be TO me,
Take these words that have spoken,
Roll then DER the deep for me,
Give them to the winds, unbroken.
Tell my story to the sea.
Oh, ye gentle, nurmuring waves,
Flowing onward 10 the sea,
Take this message implore theo
And bring my lover back TO me.
PART II.
RETURN OF THE TIDE.
lis bright and sunny morning,
IT'S morn 30 bright aud fair.
Seagulls swoop and touch the waters,
Now they're circling high in air;
Now the Nor'west wind is blowing,
Dashing the surges against the shore;
Now it bloweth, now il listeth,
Then blows harder than before,
See the big, blue pillows playing,
Rollicking in their highest glee,
Tossing up their snowy foam caps,
Sinking back into the sea.
On the distant sparkling waters
Flutters mass of snow white sails
Hiding from view the big dark vessel
That proudly and bravely stems the
gales.
Nearer and nearer approaches the vessel.
Louder and louder her huge sails flap.
More plainly now we see her motions.
Gentler by her sides the waters lap.
Cast of anchor" cries the captain;
shift over the>line," hear the mate
say;
Port your helm," the captains calling;
The crew is hasteningto to obey.
On the shore there stands a maiden
She has mass OF glossy hair
DARK blue eye and ear like sea she'll
Was there ever maid more fair9
Now the stalwart captain clasps her;
Folds her tenderly to his breast:
My story Is told, need not linger,
Well, / know, you'll guess the rest.
When we have put all confidence
In any beloved friend;
Unless their faithlessness be proven
Let us trust them TO the end

GOOD NEWS FROM THE
VALLEY OF VIRGINIA.
DEAR CITIZEN:

DEAR CITIZEN:
This scribe will again endeavor to
inform the readers of the CITIZEN
how times are in the Valley of Vir-
gina, which is said to be the garden
spot of the state.
The main topic Of the day here is
bryan and Mckinley. While it is
true that McKinleyism prevaileth in
the town of Dayton, yet the sterling
Democrats of Rockingham county
are alive and up to their duty. Hon.
James Hay delivered an excellent
democratic address here on the 18th.
1t is the religious influences of this
town that has attracted the atten-
ton of this scribe more than all the
political affairs, There are six
churches of vrrious denominations
here; and the majority of its inhabi-
tants seem to lead a pious life. There
are no saloons or any evil influences
in this town.
The public schools here run seven
months each year, and have a re-
markably good attendance through
out the session.
New students are arriving at Shen.
andoah Institute almost every day.
There are about sixty students en-
rolled in the music department and
there are about eight music profes-
sors residing in this town. The In b..
stitute's Orchestra renders excellent
music.
This scribe, in company with a
goodly number of other students
Qadies and gentlemen), made trip
into the Alleghaney mountains on a
chincapin hunt on the afternoon of
Saturday Goth inst. Prof. and Mrs.
w. s. Beazley accompanied the party.
The trip was very delightful one.
Weare looking forward with pleas
ure to the occurrence of two impor-
tant events, i. e., the celebration of
Thanksgiving and the election of
W. j. Bryan as President of the
United States.
Many good wishes to the dear CIT
IzEN, its correspondents and readers,

A NORTHERN VIEW

There may be no legal means of
preventing the introduction of the
black labor of the South in the an
thracite coal mines in Pennsylvania,
but 1T is more than doubtful whether
such an addition to the permanent
population of the State would be de-
sirable. The negro vote is already a
source of grave political danger. An
incursion of negro convicts would be
lntolerable. Negro labor might be
cheap, but all experience indicates
that the cheapest labor, by reason of
its inefficiency, is always the most
costly. ly.-Philadelphia Record.

ment.
Look at the army of statesmen anC
saleswomen in our stores. There i,
not, l believe, as capable or honest 8
corps of workers in the world. Yet
a French or English shopgirl will
sell twice as many goods in the same
time, and the customer will come
again and again tc be served by the
same woman. Why? Because she is
civil and courteous.
There is something pitifal as well
as ridiculous in the indifference, the
hauteur, the actual rudeness Of
many Of the intelligent young men
and women behind our counters.
Yet, civility is their capital. By
selling gloves or tinware they earn
their living, and the more civil they
are, the more they sell.
Most of my readers know a few
saleswomen who have remained in
some of the old business houses until
an honored old age, and, by their
ability and courtesy, have made for
themselves hosts Of friends. 1t is a
pity that these foolish young people
could not learn their business from
them.-"AR American Mother" IN

ASSASSINATION, NOT WAR.

/
Brighten. Edward B. Williston
United States army, who, for more
than year, acted as Mayor of Manils
and Provost Marshall of the city, il
at the Hotel Rennert, and will be in
Baltimore for some time. General
Williston left the Philippines on
July is, and has recently been retired.
In speaking of conditions in the
islands and the status OF the Ameri-
oan arms there, General Williston
said,
cit is not war that Is going on
over there now-it is assassination.
We are now fighting one tribe con-
sisting OF a million and half of
people, the fighting force of whom
are mostly brigands and thieves.
"They resemble aoovey of quail in
their fighting tactics. When, with
alarge force, they come upon small
detachment of our troops they sail in
and kill few and then run away,
disappear in the grass aud hide
themselves.
"They are very hostile to Us, and
most heartily distrust our motives.
The 800 years Of Spanish rule, born
In sin and continued in corruption,
mas made them distrust everything,
and they have absolutely no conf
dence IN Americana,
fWhst they would like us to do
would be to protect them while they
formed their own government and
governed themselves, but they do not
want Us to meddle. We must alb
solutely keep hands off and simply
protect them from outside interfer-
enoe. There is practically no morality
among the people, either men or
women, and therefore / do not think
the American soldier has tended to
brutalize the people,
AMERICAN soLnIERs GET DRUNK.
"Upon the whole the American
soldiers have behaved well, with the
exception that they have set very
bad example to the people in the
matter of drunkenness. The Filipino
does not care for liquor, and during
the whole time l was on the island
l did not see drunken native. But
our boys will get drunk. 1t is true
that many of the soldiers now out
there are very bad lot. These new
volunteers who have crept into even
the regular army are very much in
ferior as class to the volunteers of
the Spanish War. They are made
up of the toughs from different cities
and towns, who have practically been
forced to enlist. Some of the men
have behaved badly, and while was
there l shipped back 700 men dis
honorabIy discharged. Wherever we
find them breaking out we punish
them.
WE CONTROL WHAT GUNS COVER.
"As for the climate it is undoubt-
edly not fitted to the American con-
stitution and Americans could never
colonize there. OF course our soldiers
sicken and die and if we are to hold
the islands it is simply question of
continually sending more men out
from this country to take the places
of those who have to be sent home
because of the climate.
ave need more men now. We
merely have a nominal hold on the
islands, nothing more than is covered
by our rifle range. If one man dies
or is removed, we lose the ground
that one man guarded. There is much
to contend with and the problem is
