White Clover's Advantage.

White clover will germinate and
make headway where certain grasses
will not thrive. It is easily crowded
out, but will give excellent service az
food for sheep for awhile.

Where the ruddy sunbeams blaze
TMhronrh W LON the drowsy morning haze;
Where, with shifting sheen and SHIN
Winking whitecaps, gleam and glim
And the wooing south wind plays
Take me thither, Memory.
Where the breakers comb and crawl
Underneath their gaunt sea-wall,
While their winnowed spray is lawn
Sedges in lone crannies waving,
And the gray gulls dip and call
Bv the sleepy summer sea-
Take me thither, Memory.

AN INVOCATION.
BY G. T. LEsTEH

T. LESTER.
Where the wee, hushed ripples Groom
Io the stars their wizard rune,
er, While, from out the purple ocean,
er, Venus-wise, with languorous motion
Trembles up the golden moon
Ger the magic summer sea-
lake me thither, Memory.
Where, betimes, the straining ear
Phantom-like, may family hear
Old-time voices melt and mingle
With the surge upon the shingle,
And the night-wind wailing drear,
To the sea, the sea. the SEAL
Take me thither, Memory!

No book is worth anything which is
not worth much; nor is it serviceable
until it has been read and re-read, and
loved and loved again, and marked so
that you can refer to the passages you
want in it, as a soldier can seize the
weapon he needs in an armory.-Rus-
kin, Of Kings Treasures.
Orange County observer. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1880-1918, 1902-10-16

I have ever gained the most profit,
and the most pleasure also, from the
books which have made me think the
most; and, when the difficulties have
once been overcome, these are the
books which have struck the deepest
root, not only in my memory and un-
derstanding, but likewise in my affec-
tions.-Hare, Guesses at Truth.
Orange County observer. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1880-1918, 1902-10-16

When all that is worldly turns to
dross around us, books only retain
their steady value. When friends grow
cold, and the converse of intimates
languishes into vapid civility and COM
monplace, these only continue the un-
altered countenance of happier days
and cheer us wit hthat true friendship
which never deceived hope nor desert
ed sorrow.-Washington Irving, Sketch

Certain direct statements are made con-
corning him by our Master. No stronger
one can be found than that which is re-
father, the devil, and the lusts Of your

When he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS IN
FEDERAL HOMES.

The old x-Confederate soldiers de
ne. look with favor upon the Troposi
ton which has been made for them tt
De cared for IN Federal homes. 1t has
been proposed that while the Fedora
Government Is caring Tor the Un:or
soldiers the Confederate soldiers be
provided for also. Such propositlor
ought not to be considered seriously 10,
moment by any one. The very frs
to object to it would be the ex.Confed.
crate soldiers them elves. Most OF tie
Southern states have made preparation
for taking care of their old soldiers
and those which have not done sc
should do It at once. But even this
from their own southern sympathizer.
the old ex-Confederates are slow to &C
cept as long as they can posi- bly, live
without it, Much more, then, would
these same old heroes OF '6l to '65 be
slow to accept aid from those with
whom they differed aud contended In
battle.
Then, the very suggestion carries with
it the idea O.: insufficlency at home
70 be sure, every Southern State is
able to take care Of the few indigen,
old soldiers who remain with us at the
end OF a stretch OF nearly two score
years alter the war.
The News and Observer of Sunday
gave the opinion Of number OF old
soldiers who had been interrogated
about the matter and the following
by one expresses much Of what all of
them think and feel:
81 am sorry that Mr.. Rixey had
anything to do with that business.
We are not beggars, we are we'll cared
for--as we'll as our folks at home -
and we want nothing better. For a
Southern man to make the proposition
1t looks like we were paupers asking
to be given bread and shelter. We
ask nothing. II the Homes should be
open to the ex-Confederats IS, Mr.. Rlxey
should have waited for Federal SOL
dier who totes Confederate lead to
make the proposition. We wore our
selves out whipping tho Yankees.
We have no hard feelings. We re-
spect brave men everywhere, but we
ion't thank anybody to make it ap-
pear that we are begging for place,
much less place at the table of the
men to whom we surrendered"
