I saw her in the orchard;
she sang her song of love.
Her bright eyes seemed to borrow
Light from the stars above.
But only for a moment,
I saw her as she sat,
I threw at her a poker—
It was my neighbor's ca!

Language Conference,
The Language Conference met in spec-ial session at Mr. Woodward's last Thursday day and enjoyed the rare treat of listening to a paper on "The New Motive in Fiction" by Mrs. Anna B. McMahon, of Quincy, Illinois. The great reputation Mrs. McMahon has made as a literary worker in the "Friends in Council," of which she is the leader, aroused more than usual expectations among the members of the Conference, and certainly no one was disappointed.
Love has always been the one great and only motive force in fiction and will always remain so. It is then not so much a new motive that we are to look for in latter day novels as it is a new treatment of the old—or rather, ever new motive, love. This new treatment of love is seen in the fact that the latest novel takes up the story where former ones left it. Marriage was "formerly the goal of the story; now it is the beginning. The center of interest has been transferred from romance to life, which is a step in advance. Woman, who will always remain the center of attraction in fiction, has improved much with the education of the race. The modern heroine is a very different person from the sweet, tender, nice little nobody so popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. She is now more of a woman, more intellectual, but not less sweet. We love, not the face, but the meaning we see behind it.
As excellent examples showing the new motive in fiction, we have Anna Carinna, Roger Hunt, a Human Document, and many others of like character. These stories deal with the real trials of life—those which come after marriage. In an ideal married life comes the best, the brightest, the noblest education of life, and second to this only is the discipline of bearing nobly the trials of an unhappy union. A disappointing marriage is infinitely superior to the greatest happiness of illicit love. We have admired rebellious love too long. It is time for us to learn that patience and endurance which makes life a real preparation.
The new motive is, then, love in its varying course after marriage, not illicit love, but love in spite of the strict conventionalities which modern society has thrown around it.
Easter Sunrise Service.
The Enworth League will hold a sunrise service on Easter Sunday at 6 a. m. All the young peoples' societies in town have been invited, and a general good time is expected. There will be a special chorus to lead the singing. The majority of the bells in the city will be rung at a few minutes before the meeting opens, and the city will hear a chime such as has not been heard for years. The meeting will be in the nature of a praise service. All students are invited to attend and make the meeting a memorable one.
