SOWING AGAINST THE TIDE.
: j t j. ; easy to crlide wilh tlic ripples
Adon n the stream of time,
To flow with the course of the river,
LiKe music to some old rhyme;
! But ah ! it takes courage aiul paticuce
| Against, its .current to ride;
1 And , , we must have strength , from .. Heaven „
When rowing 1 against the tide.
We may float on the river’s surface
While our oar's scarce touch the
And visions of early glory
On our dazzling sight may gleam;
We forget that on before us
The dashing torrents roar,
And, while we are idly dreaming,
Its waters will carry us o’er.
But a few—ah, would there were many!—
llow up the “stream of life; ’
They struggle against its surges,
And mind neither toil nor strife,
Though weary and faint with labor,
Singing, triumphant they ride;
For Crist is the hero’s Captain
When rowing against the tide.
Far on through the hazy distance,
Like a mist on a distant shore,
They sec the walls of a city,
With its banner floating o’er.
Seen through a glass so dandy
They almost mistake their way;
But faith throws light on their labor,
When daiKuess shuts out their day.
Ami shall we be one of that number
Who mind no toil nor pain !
Shall we mourn the loss of earthly joys
When we have a crown to gain ?
Or shall we glide on with the river,
With death at the end of our ride,
While ourbrother,with heaven before him
Is rowing against, the tide ?
Her First Sorrow.
Jennie Moore was the prettiest gild
in Groveland. “None knew her but
to love her,” as the poet says, and old
Farmer Moore was prouded of 1 1 is one

This summer Jen.uio bad come home
from boniVliii o school for good, and
<>1 1 farm rang with her clear bird-like

leaving t-'kens Of her dainty womanly
pia Sellce every where.
1’iiung Dr. Lowell had been a b mrd-
er at the farm iOr three years. When
he had fiiSt seen Ji-aiiie she had been a
little winning girl, quite willing to be
tak' n cm the grave young man’s knee<

father talked
Bat, ivwv rliings were quite different.
nidus Howard Lowell Watched tlie
eraeeful fi nil clowned by the lovely
ilower-liki' face, and e.icli day saw th
p.,unselfish Latnre more and more,
he grew to look upon lier in another
light, and to think it would be very
sweet to have that blooming face grow
more bright at his approach than at
any otlu r.
Ho the days went by, an.] although

shy, blushing sjinol girl iufo a b*anti-
{n j self-possessed maiden, c mscious
i )er nin)0st ht ,a,-t of lieug loved, and
of retiming that love.
One evening, as they all aat around
ti le cozy tea table, lu tie Fred, Jennie's
biother, hound into the room, full of
news which evidently seemed very im-
port-ant to him.
“Ob, father, the big house has been
bought.’’ Now the “big house’’
p re rj ca n e( ] jt, was the house of Grove
land. High up on a hill it towered iu
i{s gl , iy 8tolie stateliness above nil the
rest of the village. It had been unoc-
enpied for many years.
“Well, I’m glad of Unit,” benrlily
exclaimed Farmer Moore. ‘‘It’s a
shame so much fine property should
have gone to wreck and ruin so long,
meet to “if'rifiWT 'C n z;
ubo has bought it Freddy?”
“Yes sir, it is a widow lady
ed Aimer, and she has two duught-
ers.’’
Dr. Lowell here gave a sudden start,
which Caused Jeanie to glance over ut
him. and to her surprise she saw he was
violently agitated. His face was
' vl| ite as death, and with his lips parted
he looked fixedly at Freddy, as if wait-
iag to hear more.
S eiog his emotion attracted atten-
rion, he hastily arose and without
'-peeking, .. left . ,. f) the loom.
Jennie’s interest in Freddy’s news
was entirely lost in her wonderment
over Dr. Lowell’s strange demeanor.—
ARLINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL i, i88x.
It wasquite 1 *t« iu the evening
he l< join.d them; hut when lie came

[ as ever, yet there w s something pe-
j j miliar in his manner, a ml Jennie

and her to daughti l's were pleasant
| and unaffect>d and it was not long be¬
fore the new comers In came well ac¬
quainted in the village.
After a time Jeanie called to wel¬
come them and extend the hospitably
of the farm, and she returned home
delighted with her v.sif. Mrs. Aimer
was so kind, and the girls, Ella and
Ruth co charming and friendly.—
Jeanie tti'kgd enthusiastically for some
time about her new friends, and Dr.
Lowell listened to all she said eager-
ly.
After a few weeks, invitation came to
the farm for a party to bo held at the
“Hall.”
“Shall you go,“little one?” question¬
ed her father.
Jennie looked tip at Dr. Lowell and
was surprised again by the odd pal¬
lor of his face.
It was decided they should go, and
the eventful evening arrived. The
•‘Hall” was ablaze with light, and
flagrant with the aromatic perfume of
llo were, and as Jeanie entered the ball
room on the doctor’s arm, her
heart gave a great bound. Rho had
been to bnt few parties, and youth
loves life and gaiety.
Bnt her pleasure time evening was
not what she expected, and ns she lay
in her own little bed at, home that
niulit and thought over her lover’s be-
wildering conduct, the pretty head
buried itself in the pillows, and any
one listening might have heard smoth-
ered sobfi.
Shortly after their arrival her escort
ft ltd', irnvl de 'rur-- , ,.i rrimWcK 'to
Ella Aimer. Not that Jeanie was neg-
lected—that her beauty and populari¬
ty never allow 7 ' d her to bo—but she
had walched with a keen pain her
lover's manner toward NXis b Aimer. ’
From their first meeting, the reserve
wliicli he generally held towaid stiau-
K e,s ^ l!| d been wanting, and lie seemed
to become more and more engrossed in
her society.
The long walk home that evening
had been almost in silence, and Jennie’s
lu ait, all nntisi d to trouble, sank very
ow, as she thought she had been
maidenly in giving her love so freely,
and now her punishment had come.—
YRt a h-ait once out of one’s keeping
cannot 1 e called back suddenly with-
out pain.
Anil this was only the commence-
sorrow. Day after day I)r.
Lowell was «i guest at ^ VVabaD Hall, „
and Jeanie often Saw him and Lila
AJmer riding or walking
Farmer Moore never noticed how grave
’he wearisome face was growing, for
"itli the pride of womanhood
Jeanie k-pt her grief to her.-eif. She
made up hei mind bitteily, that
wlii!e alie hftd be ea lovir.gf with all the
-
fervor of hei warm, impulsive heart,
he, whom she bail thought so noble,
had only been trifling with her—testing
his powers of pleasing.
bbe avoid'd meeting him as much as
possible, and so the time passed, until
one morning as she arose from the
breakfast table, Dr. Lowell said-
“Can you speak with me a little
while, Jeaniti? It is almost impossible
Ln-me to s-e yeu alone lately.
Never bud tins voice pronounced her
name mor tcndeily. Was lie about to
make a confidence of his new-found

She seated herself and he standing
before, her after a slight pause, he-
8 rtU -
“Jeanie, the time bus come for this
mystery to be explained, and I can tell
you who I am.”
The girl’s large dark eyes opened
widely.
“Who you are?”
“Yes,” ho sai l laughingly, “I know
I am Dr. Howard Lowell, practicing
physician of Groveland; but that is not
all. Listen, and I will tell yon the
whole story.”
1 My father died when I was ten
years old, leaving my mother a widow
with throe chi ilrcn. B- twom tins
oldest of tlu; two girls and myself tlleie
was the most, passionate attachment - ■
indeed we weic all an unusually united
family. Butin tlireo'earstnymotli-
er married again. Then my miser*'
eoniinunoed. , 1 T cannot desenoo the
persecutions my step-father inflicted
upon the, whom alone of all the child-
ion lie seemed to hale. 1 erluips it
was because'of my then headstrong,
impu’sive nature. • I was passionate
bay, and at last driven desperate, I ran
away from home and from my d-ar y
loved mother and sisters.’’
' Th ui for years I was driven where
fate willed, working boro and there at
anything, no matter liov; menial, until
at last ioitune in the shape of a kiml
old physician interposed.”
“Dr. Lowell saw me and became in-
tcrent*d in uie, and when lie died lie
left me his adopted son, on coudili >n
I took his name and never returned to
the influence of my st.epfntliei. And
now, Jeaiii<\ comes the most wonder-
fui part of my story 7 .
I have loaud my mother and sis-
tern at last, five from the one who
made my boyhood so wretched.—
Shortly af.er I left home my stepfather
had taken hi» family abroad, ami from
then until now we have never met."
‘ Now I haye 1 mge 1 to speak iind de-
clare myself. Rut, Jeanie, I leared that
the prodigal sou who sellidily bit all
he held dear coul l in-ver be forgiven ;
until last night iny sister Ella spoke so
tenderly an 1 regretfully of the brother
3ho hud lost. I coll d keep silence no
longer. I shall keep my dear adopted
father’s name, but Mrs. Aimer, whom
y°u ’‘heady like so much, is my
mother, and Ella and Ruth are my sis-
tors.
Then with an abrupt change in his
voice, Dr. Lowell stopped, an 1 raising
f1 1 e 8 °ft, li tie li nuf which lay listless,
ly in |je girl’s lap, clasping it flimly
iu his'own as lie said.-
* ,u ©'fritfca ! y rf.ndbig wonder that mT
inaiin'i-r has been so stra'iigOiuid unlike

The expression in his loving, eyes
made Jeanie flush and tiemble, and us
she was g ithered to his manly heart
she.knew that she had conic to the end
of lier great sorrow.
It was a 1 nippy evening that follow¬
ed, when , in the “Hall'’ parlor, the
new,v-fonnd ilm1 M) "

so dear to his heart.

A Galveston ru m deposited several

drew on it ns he needed it. Yesterday
he liappi ned to meet his hanker, and
that g.-utlemau stopped and Said l-utli-

“You have overdrawn your account
by several him died dollars ”
“Well, what of it ? It is my account

my own account. This is a free
country.”
“Yes, but y,.u owe me several linn-
dred dollars,’
“Well, suppose I do. Yon owed me
ten times as much for ever so long,
and didn’t make a fuss about it.”
The depositor passed on, leaving the

Pearls of Thought.
Youth looks at the possible; age at

Charms strike the sight, but merit
wins the soul,
Nothing can constitute good breed

It is more honorable to acknowledge

It is easierto suppress the fi-st d. sire

Much charity which begins at home
is too feeble to get out of doo -s, and
much that begins outdoors never gets
