Out Of the angel land he came,
Little Boy Jim.
without any clothes, not even the name
OF Little Boy Jim;
Left all the brightness of heavenly skies
Just borrowed enough for his heart and
his eyes
And maybe, some nectar for tears when
he cries.
Little Boy Jim.
Plucked from the golden street a brick,
Did Little Boy Jim,
Got big angel that knew the trick,
Cute Little Jim,
TO turn into neart of gold,-
The angel secured Heav,n to get the best
mold,
And put in piece of his own heart, I'm
told;
For Little jim
And he had it tuned in a perfect key,
Little Boy Jim.
To keep in constant harmony
Wise boy, Jim.
And all the time that he is away
The Heavenly choir will sing and play,
But he hears the echoing melody
Lucky Boy Jim.
That is the reason a part of each day
Little Boy Jim
Ceases his baby prattle and play
The angel in him
Is list'ning, while into his eyes will Green
A wistful look, so tender and deep
The angel voices are singing-Ah sleep

BETSY BRANDoN's GUEST.
A True Tale Of How a Little Maid En-.
tertalned Gen. Washington.

1t was a bright spring morning in
1891, and the sun shone as bright over
the Brandon plantation as 1t did in
the county town of Salisbury. Yet little
Miss Betsy Brandon, sitting lonely and
disconsolate on the piazza of the great
plantation house, did not think of the
sunshine, did not notice the gay tulips
nodding good morning, did not listen to
the merry songs of the birds for her
thoughts were in Salisbury and she
longed to be there.
For not more than an hour ago all the
family had driven to the town to see
Gen. Washington, who was to be re-
ceived there with great honor, and with
as handsome demonstration as the
brave, patriotic folk of the town and
county could make for him.
1t was a wonderful thing this South
ern tour Of the general-now President
of the United States. He had travelled
IN his family carriage all the way down
from Virginia, through the Carolinas and
Georgia near the coast to Savannah, and
was now returning through the "up-
country" stopping at Augusta, Camden
Charlotte and other towns. All along
the route people united to do him honor
and war-worn veterans who had followed
his standard pressed near to grasp his
hand.
And now that he was coming to Sails
bury such grand things were to be donel
Capt. John Baird, in command of the
Rowan Light Horse Company" had
gone to meet him at Charlotte and escort
him to Salisbury. A company of boys--
one OF whom was Betsy's brother--were
to meet him half a mile from town and
march as his escort with the men. And
the boys were TO be in uniform and were
TO wear buck tails in their hats Betsy's
SISTER was to be one OF the little girls.
All dressed in white, to scatter flowers
before the general when he entered the
town. Oh, 1t would all be beautiful! Yet
Betsy must stay at home
was IT not a little hard? And was Il
altogether strange that twelve-year-old
Betsy in spite of the self-controi taught
oy the strict old-time discipline, must,
from time to time, wipe away the gath
ering tears?
Yet not every one had gone TO Sails
bury, Tor, after awhile, Betsy was sur
prlsed to see two gentlemen riding IN the
avenue On reaching the house they
ulsmounted, and one--a gentleman of
very grand and handsome appearance
bowed low to the little maid and asked II
she would be kind enough to give break
last TO two tired wayfarers.
Betsy curtsied, in pretty, old fashion.
ana ana said that as all the grown people
had gone to town to see Gen. Washing

Never mir" for a Negro.

the very interesting and somewhat anus

the panic fear displayed over the use of
the word Mr. or Mrs No Negro Is

that would indicate social equality

humor of his difficulties:

I regard him as a great man, and yet

We were all in a quandary until a doctors
