A DAUGHTER OF THE REVOLU-
TON.

Marion Gibbs was girl thirteen wears
old, living on plantation near Charles
town, S. c., during the Revolution, when
Tarleton's ed-coated troopers were raidinp
that rigon. Her father, who had been in
the American army, was crippled from his
wounds and almost helpless.
One morning a slave rushed into the
room were Marion was spinning, and, in
great excitement, begged her to flee to the
swamp, for the troopers had already set
the barn on fire and shot down some of
the negroes.
Hastily summoning the servants, Marion
had her father and the children conveyed
to hiding place in the neighboring swamp
and directed the negro nurse to get the
baby, boy two years old, and join them
while she would get together few needed
articles. AS soon as the red coats of the
soldiers were observed approaching through
the orchard, Marion slipped out of the
rear door and sped away to her friends
Upon joining the frightened group our lit
tie heroine discovered that the nurse and
the baby had not been seen by anybody in
the part. Without utterny a word she
darted back along the intricate path that
lead through the lonely mora-s, fear
and distress adding wings to her feet
Upon emerging from the gloomy forest
she beheld the house in flames and sur

earnest, | will not oppose your wishes.
But | cannot but think your fancy to be
captivated rather than your heart Wait a
few months-you are both young yet, and
can afford to wait and if you continue to
be of the same mind, will say no more. -
Amy yielded a ready assent to this
''She was in no hurry" she said. But
she found some difficulty in reconciling
Frederic to this delay, who manifested an
Impotence which secretly delighted Amy,
who looked upon it as a proof of ardor
and sincerity of his love.
Two months after Mr.. Hunts converse
ton with his niece the good old man
dropped down dead in his counting room.
Upon examination his affairs were found
to be in such state that it took all his
estate to satisfy the demands of his
creditors; everything went but the house
and furniture.
At first, poor Amy, who was over
whelmed with sorrow at the loss of her
kind friend and protector, was too much
engrossed to notice the change that had
come over her lover. His manner became
constrained and his visits more brief and
infrequent, until at last they ceased alto
gether.
Then came a letter Of explanation-ii
explanation it could he called--stating that
she was far too dear for him to wish to
entail upon her poverty and wretchednesS
that would follow his selfshly insisting
upon the fuliillment Of the engagement
He did not insist upon it, but gave her
freedom"
Amy's lip curled with scorn as she read
this. Before this the clouds had begun to
break away that hid from her eyes the real
nature of the man, who had taken such a
strong hold upon her imagination, if not
her heart-now they were completely dis
PEELED.
Nearly all of her gay associates dropped
away from her as well.
But Amy had no time to mourn over the
detection of these ''far weather friends;''
her aunt was taken dangerously i'll and in
less than a week she, too, was laid in the
grave.

A TRUE LOVING
,..HEART....
BETTER THAN GOLD

Two persons stood at the garden gate of
Farmer Brays cottage.
One was a tall, stalwart young fellow,
with no beauty save pair of dark, express
sive eyes that lighted up his face with a
look of intelligence and goodness.
The other was fair young girl, whose
ripping hair glittered like gold in the
sunlight that fell over it, and eyes OF the
clearest and softest blue.
There was changeful color in the
cheeks, and a conscious look in the averted
eyes that felt rather than saw the earnest
gaze that was directed toward them.
'And so you are going to leave us,
Amy"
"Yes, John Pm going to the city to-
morrow. Don't you envy me? 1t don't
seem as if | could survive another winter
in this dull place.
John Thornly WINGED little at these
words.
''And yet you have spent many happy
years here" he said, in a tone of gentle
reproach.
"To be sure responded Amy with a
toss of her head; "when l was a child it
was all very we'll. But Of late it does
seem as if AIibrook grew duller and duller
every day of my life!'

At one time they would have made her
heart beat with very different feelings, but
the newly awakened aspirations of the past

anxious to avoid.
"No, John don't believe that should

knew these words inflicted on that loving
and faithful heart.

before you. In all the gay and brilliant

He was gone.
And as Amy watched his retreating
form, something deeper than sorrow for his
sorrow touched her heart.
\ thousand instances of his worth and
goodness thronged upon her recollection.
Woald she ever find a heart as true and
noble as his?
But these regrets soon vanished before

And yet, to tell the truth, his feelings
were not OF the most pleasant and CON

lie just heard OF Amy's mistortunes, and
his big generous heart was all aglow with
sympathy for her in her loneliness and her
sorrow.
'How | wish she was here" he said to
himself, as he glanced around. "There is
plenty of room if she would only come"
But as John had made up his mind that
he would 90 to the city the next morning
and seek her out he heard the rumble of
wheels that stopped at the door, followed
by ring of the door bell.
Then the housaheeper put in her head
saying:

and business to any one but you"
