\ Negro Squatters Home.

Fifteen miles out of Chattanooga
on the Bridgeport road, | came upon
a negro squatter The cabin was a
Istructure of poles, which a man
could have pushed over, and the
roof was simply lot of straw and
weeds and bushes thrown upon the
rafters and held down by limbs.
The one room was not over twelve
feet square, and in this, with no
! floor. but the earth, lived family OF
nine. There were two straw beds,
ore chair. one old table, three plates,
one knife, one fork, two spoons and
bowl. Ii had been raining, and
part of the earthv floor was a
mud-puddle. The family had about
five pounds of meal and three or
tour of bacon, and OF all the patches
one ever saw the greatest snow was
right there. The old man had thir-
teen patches on one leg of his trous-
ers, eleven on the other, seven on
his vest. and his cotton shirt was
patched in dozen places with red,
yellow and white and blue wooden.
The old woman's dress looked like a
crazy quilt and two of the boys had
only one trouser leg apiece.

boys was watering the horse.

What though before me it is dark,
Too dark for one 10 see?

'Tis quite enough for me.

So. though It's very dark beyond

For mercy wells it so;

Thorny and hard and steep;
And knowing this, my strength might tai
through fear and terror deep.
1t may be that il winds along

But, seeing this, | might despise
The journey OF to-day.
Perhaps my journey is very shor',
My journey nearly done;
And might tremble at the thought
OF ending it SO soon.

thrust bill into Tilly's hands with
the remark:
Il owe you debt of gratitude
for sheltering my daughter, and yor
shall hear from me again"
''Tiliy opened her hand and a crisr

She had never owned 80 much mon.
ey in her life before, and she gazeG
at it in pleased wonder. How long
the time seemed till night, for then
she expected her parents home. Al
last they drove slowly into the yard
and from the expression of sadness
upon both their faces, she knew THEN
errand bad been fruitless one.
Your fathers friend was unable
to make Us the loan, and he has come
home feeling utterly discouraged,
said Mrs. Clifford, as she sank wear
lily into chair.
/ Pm so sorry,' said Tilly, with
trembling limbs; "butit isn't SO bad
to lose our home as though some one
of US had been killed or gone crazy"
Then as her. father entered soon
after. Tilly told all about the excit-
ing events of the previous day and
night.
As they realized the danger that
had threatened their only child, Mrs.
Clifford exclaimed thankfully:
You were right. Tilly, in saying
that our trouble is not the worst that
could befall us; well bear it with
becoming fortitude, now that all our
lives are spared.
a few evenings alter, while the
family were sitting together in the
twilight. a neighbor, who had been
to the postoffice, threw letter into
the open door.
"Tilly lighted candle, and her
father gazed curiously at the direc-
ton and the postmark.
Who can it be from?" he exclaim-
ed, turning it over in his hand.
Why, father, open it and see, :"
said Tilly, laughing; that's the
quickest way to find out"
HE did SO, and a check for five
hundred dollars fell out.
Here, Tilly, readit," he said with
trembling voice. Il can't think
what it meals"
1t read thus:
"MR. Having obtained
your name and address as | passed
through your village the other day,
| take great pleasure in sending you
the enclosed check. 1t is only
slight return for the service your
daughter rendered to my afflicted
child. ! beg that you will use this
money for your own or her benefit,
as you may see best.
Yours truly,
HERMAN ST.. CLAIR"
''Oh, father" said Tilly, clapping
her hands with delight, that will
pay off the mortgage, and we can
keep our home after all. "
"We can, thank God" he said;
"what merciful Providence sent
that young woman TO our door,
God has many ways of bringing
about the same result, said Mrs.
Clifford reverently 81 have had
faith to believe He would help US in
our trouble, butt never dreamed it
would come in the way it has. How
can We ever be thankful enough?"
A few days after, the whole family
went upon il journey, and when they
returned they brought with them a
clear title to the little household.
After paying the mortgage they in
vested one hundred and fifty dollars
in the bank for Tilly, and the re-
fifty they presented to Uncle
John, thus enabling the old gentle
man to purchase some farm imple-
Inents he has long needed

history of Augustus desolation, her over

after Sheridan's campaign, Isl told, but the
author passes rapidly on from that time of
inward anguish and bitterness of soul to
contemplation of the more pleasing results
which have followed the re-establishment of
peace, and draws an admirable picture of
what our county is and ought to be. The
body of the work is followed by much inter-

sketches of Augustus heroes the whole max
