having such lovely family and home"
My friend did not stop, but drove into
the yard, saying, pleasantly:
'Iour uncle lives about mile farther
on, but shall not allow you to 90 until
after dinner.'
He stopped the horse, and the two
children came running up with merry
shout, and were soon in the arms of the
happy father and next saw them seated,
one upon each shoulder, and with them
thus mounted he turned to me and said
There's one thing more l might tell
you. About two years after Jennie and l
were married and settled down here, we
thought good deal about changing the
name of the farm. We liked the name
Glover Lea pretty WE'LL and had almost
concluded to have it painted in big letters
upon the roofs Of the barns, when some
thing happened that changed our plans.
You see it's quite natural for young hus-
band to want son, and also just as
natural for a young wife to wish for a
daughter. Well, it so happend that Jennie
and | got our wish at the same time, and
so we made up our minds that the name OF
the farm was all right just as it was"

TERRITORY OF UNITED STATES
IN 1776.

An examination of the map of the
United States in the year 1776 shows the
boundaries of tracts of territory as follows.
At the northwest but south of the river
st. Lawrence, Massachusetts begins with
the former Sagadadoc Territory and Pro-
vince of Maine, continues over its present
area to New York, while westward of Penn
sylvania, broadening from the latitude of
its present southern boundary to that of
Lake Wnnipiseogee, in New Hampshire,
it reaches western limit on the Massa-
chusetts river.
New York has its present area and north
of Massachusetts has boundary on New
Hampshire which extends between New
York and the northeastern spur of Massa-
chusetts.
Rhode Island appears as on the maps of
to-day.
Connecticut has its present area, which
beyond Pennsylvania it extends to the
Mississippi river.
Pennsylvania has no corner, as now, be-
tween New York and Lake Erie.
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryla
present forms familiar to modern maps.
Virginia reaches to the Mississippi river,
and northward to the western territory of
Connecticut.
North Carolina and Georgia in full width
and South Carolina in narrow belt, en-
fold the land to the common Western river.
On the south Of Georgia peninsula, East
Florida tends westward to the river APP
palachicola, and West Florida asserts a
disputed northern limit at the parallel OF
the mouth of the Yazoo river in the west
land OF Georgia.
Quebec, reaching southwark over the
southern trapping grounds of the Hudson s
Bay Company and over the western lands
oftMassachusetts, Connecticut and Virginia,
claims to cover the whole territory between
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the
great lakes.
Between the Mississippi river and the
Stony Mountains lies Louisiana, Spanish
dependency.
Beyond, to the Pacific, stretches the vast
expanse of the older Spanish America.
At the extreme northwest there points
towards the opposing continent a peninsula
whose forbidding coast has been hitherto
but few times visited by European navi-
gators
