espousal of the American cause,

among these, and they had brought
the principles they had borrowed
from their old master into their new
home.
just then Sampson appeared at the
door leading from the dining room
into the hall and announced in his
most cxpressionless tones, while he
held himself like a very stiff paste

Jane knew that he had been too
well trained by her stepmOther to
voluntarily bring stranger into her
presence with SO little warning. and
she surmised the British officer had
persisted in following at his heels.
1t was somewhat haughtily, there
fore, that she drew down the sleeves
OF her gown and turned to meet the
visitor, who stood in the entrance.

barrassed as her beautiful young
face came within range of his vision.
Evidently. he had not expected to be
confronted by so much youth and
loneliness. Pardon me, but are YOU

asked hesi:atingly
The temporary mistress, yes"
she answered. MY father and
mother are from home. Is there
aught / can do for you?"
Col. Besscmcr bids me present his
compliments and request the priv
legc of resting his troops here for a
short space. He also desires me to
express the hope that, inasmuch as
he understands your family to be
loyal subjects of the king. you may
not object to providing himself and
his officers with breakfast. since they
have been upon the road the entire
night, after fighting hard battle
yesterday, without either food or
rest"
Certainly, shall comply with his
request" Jane answered. 1T is not
the rule of my fathers house to turn
away anyone hungry, be he British
or American"
The officer raised his eyebrows at
this and stiftened perceptibly. 1t
did not agree with his ideas OF loyal
ty that American sympathizcrs
should be fed by adhercnts of the
king; but Jane was contrary Jade.
and while She was never so devoted
royalist as when she was talking
to revolutionist neighbors and rela-
tiyes, she never came so near being

she was thrown with British or
tories. 1t might be because her
father was dubbed a timeserver, even
by those who once had loved him
best and respected him most. that the
girl had developed this contradictori-
ness. Certainly, it was the occasion

herself and her tory stcpmothcr.

WHEN I'M CALLED.

Ger the dark and swollen waters
Ssnuld my boat be called to glide.
And l see the forms of loved ones
waiting on the other side
6haf fear the dashing pillows
As they foam on every hand,
'Whte before me streams the glory
or His own dear promised land?
Should the night be dark and dreary.
And no stars be In the sky.
When I'm called to pass the river
Shall hear the watchman's cry?
When He calls me to come over.
Cross the torrent cold and wild.
Shall I rear my loving Father
Since / am his trusting child?
when the mists hang DER the river
Hiding all the waters blue.
And tho lovely hills of Canaan
Arc quite hidden from my view.
Shall l doubt my trusty Pilot,
Shall / fear the misty wave
When I know that He is with me,
And His arm Is strong to save?
Should the day be bright with sunlight
When He bids me to come home.
And the banquet board Is ready
And awaiting me to come;
Shall I fear the invitation
or His loving. gracious word.
Or with JOY shall 1 go over
To be ever with my Lord?

Sample Copy"

If this paper is marked Sample

scribe, and the paper is before you
to speak for itself. We think it
ought to have the patronage of
North Carolina farmers, not simply
because it is published in North Car
DINA, but because it is especially
adapted to North Carolina condi-
tions. And it is our endeavor to
cover thoroughly every department
needed in a general farmers news
paper-clear, forcible and instructive
agricultural articles from the best
practical and scientific farmers; in
dependent, and informing editorial
comment on the questions of the day
and the worlds happenings; fresh,
up-to-date State and general news,
call the news that's fit to print" pre-
sented in readable form; the best
general literature of the day, fiction,
u and poetry; carefully selected
matter regarding woman's work;
our general correspondence depart
ment, for the free discussion of all
sides of all public questions; reli-
gious selections, and matter for even
the children. Examination will show
you that no paper published in the
South, at any price, covers so thor
oughly all the departments needed
to make a well-rounded and first
class family paper. And each de-
partment alone is worth the small
subscription price, $1.OO per year.
Your subscription will be appre-
ciated by us, and it will be our
earnest endeavor to make it worth

A Small Loophole.

The visitor had gone over the farm
with the owner, and had seen the fine
condition of all the crops. There
had been neither too much nor too
little rain that season, and every
thing had prospered.
"Well," he said, "they say farmers
are hard to please, but I'm sure you
have no fault to find this year, now
have youw
The farmer rubbed his thin, brown
face up and down and across with his
hard hand before he answered.
"M-m, no, I dunno's I have" he
said, slowly, 'but I tell We sech crops
as these are pesky hard on the soil"
