THE TABLES TURNED. “ Keep Your Seat, Horace, I’il Git You Thar on Time.” Written for the Timks-News. 7 111 the eaily days ol ..... Calitoima,be fore the iron horse crossed the prari- ries and climbed the mountains of the .ar West, Mr. Horace Greeley, at that time the greatest of living editors, had an engagement to lec- tIir(i pi arerville ('al -»c »•<>«« tin* ' *>*“»».«"* y , lh , f ,r - 'P " as ™ de , '» hu / e C « ncord stagecoach start- * 1011 5 U arson Cio , -N e\ ugu.w it h the celebrated Ilank Monk, the greatest of living stage drivers, on the box behind a team of six wild and fiery Bronchos. The older readers of the Times- Xews will remember, that while Mr _ Greeley was a great editor—a big hearted man, of noble and gen- eroUS impulses— he could, on OCCU- si°n, “ out-cuss the army m Flan- tiers.” High strung and nervous, he could brook no delay. Ilank Monk was a . . character, ? 5 a seemingly reckless man, absolute¬ ly fearless, with muscles of iron and nerves ot c steel, ^ I but, withal, • , 1 a man of quiet and reserved demeanor. Ilis coach had been repeatedly at- tacked by highwaymen, but Hank usually managed to give them the worst of it; and he was held in the highest esteem by the proprietors of the stage hne and the Welk-Far- K° Express company, whose strong box f s ’ containing hundreds of thou- safety «£ KrTs^^wkh to their destina.ion, notwith- standing the desperate onslaughts of the banditti who infested tne ii\. Li., to the s.Oi > . In ascending the long, steep grade “P ‘ he mountain side, the progress of the coach was necessarily slow and tedious, and Mr Greeley be- can ‘® mieasy, leani'g lie "'.oulii tan to reach Placerville m time to meet his appointnlent . Ever and anon, he would poke his hcttd out of t he coach window, and insist that Mr. yf onk should get him thdre on time, and Hank’s invariable answer was : “ K “P > our ri ! «i‘ you thar on time. Mr. Greeley s importunities grew more numerous and vehement as the oig coach c y" Ied 5l °"'b, «P •'» mountain side ; but Hank v, as and his old, stereotyped answer eep y our seat, lloiact, . \ gw you thar on time," drawled in slow and measured tones, nettled the great editor to a degree almost yond endurance. cmaliy the top or the grade was reached, and the road down grade was >teep, crooked, strewn with hu S e boulders, and for miles it ran paging-with towering, snow- capped moantam peaks overhang- mg it on the one hand, and a abyss tailing thousands ol feet "°^n that the wheels ran within few inches of ‘ precipice.

Rolling, bouncing, bobbing 1 up and down ; Air. Greeley became somewhat agitated, and Hank only caught a glimpse of the great edi¬ tor’s old white hat,when he offered a gentle but firm protest against go¬ ing so fast. “ Keep your seat, Hor¬ ace,” drawled Ilank, “ I’ll git you thar on time!” But for Mr. Gree¬ ley to keep his seat in that coach, bounded was an utter impossibility, for he from side to side and from door to ceiling like a huge rubber ball.

A voice under the old white hat at the window where its owner had managed to struggle after many vain attempts, again at¬ tracted Hank’s attention and, tho’ he looked back instantly, he only caught sight of the great editor’s feet jammed through the window. A sudden lurch of the coach had re¬ versed his position. As he scram¬ bled to an upright position, the tan¬ talizing words of'Hank Monk smote his ears : “ Keep your seat, Horace, I'll git you thar on time!” At this point, in turning a sharp curve, the wheels encountered an- Other boulder and the coach was whizzing at a fearful rate down the niounta i n side on only two wheels within four or five inches of the edge of the precipice!
