“By the way, father, when's my rolls comm’ 
home? I raaly want to begin to spin my 
stockin' yarn next week—it's cornin’ cold 
weather purty soon.” 
“I know it—I wish men would ever do as 
they promise—they said they ’d have’em carded 
three weeks ago. Guess I must send Will 
down a’ Monday,” 
“You’Ll have wool enough next year to sell 
to put up the addition, won’t you?” 
“ Why, yes, I guess so—if we don’t go West; 
we need it purty bad. My lambs is doin’ fust 
rate; I hain’t lost half-a-dozen this season in 
my hull flock. I was n(ear’d the huff rot was 
goto’ to take ’em off purty bad, but I never gee 
how quick it was cured up 1” 
“You’ve got a good farm for sheep, father!” 
“ Yes, mother, that’s so. I’ve a mind to ask 
five dollars more an acre’n I have. It’s wuth 
it ’side other farms ’round. Bill Jones asks 
forty for his’n, an’ mine's worth ten more for 
sheep; sheep raisin’s goin’ to be big business 
the next ten years, I reckon.” 
“If I was you, father, I wouldn’t go out to 
the field to work again to-night,” said Aunt 
MARY, as Uncle John was rising from the 
Bupper table—“it’s Saturday night, an’ you’ve 
got to wash up for Sunday. You’ve done enough 
for one week.” 
“ I’ve got a few more pertaters to pick up 
afore dark.” 
“Pll do that,” said Will; “ I can do it je6t 
as well as not: I’ve got my chores all done but 
milkin’.” 
“Waal, Pm purty tired—I guess you may do 
it” So Uncle Jon> sat down in the front 
porch with his pipe. His wife bustled around 
about her work. 
“ What’s them are posies you’ve got a’ grow- 
in’ out there in the yard, mother?” he called 
out—“ they’6 wonderful purty 1” 
“Why, John, them’s Cheney Oysters —a 
new kind. Miss Gray give me the seed. Mies 
Gray’s a right good neighbor—seem’s how I 
couldn’t git along ef 'twasn’t fur her!” 
“Yes, an’ Gray’s just like her. He's allers 
a’ thinkin’ o’ some kindness orother. He never 
refused me a favor in his life—an’ they’re jest 
so to everybody. I don’t b’lieve ever a man 
asked to stay there ail night in the world but 
what he was 'eommodated free, ef he an’ she 
an’ all the children had to sleep on the floor.” 
“ We shouldn’t find sech neighbors agin very 
quick, ef we should leave them,” said Aunt 
Mary. “ Come out here an’ see these flowers,” 
she added, stepping down into the yard. 
“Oh, I dunno as it’s wurth while—I can see 
’em from here.” 
“No, you can’t see half how purty they are.” 
So Uncle John walked lamely down the path. 
“I declare, I b’lieve I’m a’ gittin’ old—this dig- 
gin’ pertaters is bard work fur me.” 
“Yes, we havn't got but a few days more to 
stay, here, John; we want to take all the com¬ 
fort we can while we do stay! See here, them 
oyster leaves is quilled, they call ’em!” 
“Carls, ain’t theyhe replied, turning away 
toward a grape ar bor near. “ I declare, ef here 
Isn’t half-a-dozen bunches of grapes on this ’ere 
vino—good cos too—I wish I know’d how to 
prune ’em, as they call it—I shouldn’t wonder’n 
we might have some grapes here another year.” 
“Wouldn’t it be a good thing to git half-a- 
dozen o’the new sorts an’ set out this fall?— 
’twouldn’t cost much I” 
“No, I wouldn’t mind it ef I know’d they 
was sure—I s’pose the children’d live to eat 
fruit from ’em ef we didn’t.” Uncle John 
had evidently forgotten, for the moment, about 
“ going West,” and Aunt Mary did not remind 
him of :t. 
“ See here, won’t you help me tie up this ’ere 
rose buih—it’s a climbin’ rose, you see. You 
didn’t, notice it when it was Mowed out, did 
you ? It was jest the purtiest thing I ever see 1 
An’ that makes me think—I’ve been a’ wantin’ 
| to set out this white rose bush on little Molly’s 
j grave this good while, but I couldn’t dig it up 
very well; s'pose you do It, ef you ain’t too 
tired, an’ we’ll set it out to-night- I’ll get the 
spade P 
So Aunt Mary went and brought the spade, 
and after the root was removed, led the way to 
a little lot fenced off in the corner of the yard. 
“ Poor little Molly/’ she said, as she opened 
the gate, “ she did love roses bo ! I feel con¬ 
demned that I didn’t plant ’em herelast Spring, 
but you know I was sick till ’twas too late.” 
Uncle John dug a place for the rose, and 
Aunt Mary carefully planted it. 
“She was a blessed little angel, any way,” 
said she; “ we couldn’t keep her long, but it’s a 
comfort to care for her little grave. 
Uncle John’ 8 eyes were moist, as they turned 
away. The sun was setting, and a radiance of 
gold lay on all the landscape. The farm looked 
very beautiful. Will was whistling merrily, 
as he milked the cows. Little Sue was kiplty- 
hopping in the front porch. Little Nell's 
face was pressed close to the front window, in¬ 
side, and as they entered the door, she turned 
away and was again leaving the kitchen. 
“ Come here, daughter; tell father what 
you’ve learned to school this week 1” said Uncle 
JOHN, seating himself in the rocking chair, 
while Aunt Mary went to getting out the clean 
clothing for Sunday. 
“What, what! been cryin’? What now’s 
the matter o’ father’s girl ?” said he, lifting her 
on hie lap. 
Nelly burst into tears, and hid her round 
face on his shoulders. “ You won’t sell our 
pretty home, will you, father?” she sobbed out. 
“ Waul, I declare, mother, ef this child hasn’t 
been a worry in’ all this time ’bout my hellin’ 
out! No, no, chicken, father likes his old home 
purty well, after all; I guess he’ll have to keep 
it aw i.iic yet—you needn’t cry any more ’bout 
that.” 
Uncle John has sown the west lot to wheat, 
and bought another flock of sheep. Things do 
not look as if he meant to sell out, and as he 
says no more about it, Aunt Mary and little 
Nelly feel very well satisfied. m. p. a. c.

Up from the South at break of day, 
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay, 
The affrighted air with a shudder bore, 
Like a herald in haste to t he cbiettun’s door, 
The terrible grumble and rumble and roar, 
Telling the battle was on once more, 
And Sheridan twenty miles away. 
Ana wider still those billows ol' war 
Thundered along the horizon’s bar. 
And louder yet Into Winchester rolled 
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled, 
Making tho blood of the listener oold 
As he thought of tho stake in that dery fray, 
And Sheridan twenty miles away. 
But there is a road from Winchester town, 
A good, broad highway leading down; 
And there, through the flash of the morning light, 
A steed, as black as the steeds of night, 
Was seen to pass as with eagle Sight— 
As if be knew ibe terrible need 
He stretched away with his utmost speed; 
Hill rose and fell—but his heart was gay, 
With Sheridan fifteen miles away. 
Still sprang from those swift hoofs, thund’ring south, 
The duet, like the smoke from the cannon’s month, 
Or the trail of a comet sweeping faster and faster, 
Foreboding to traitors the doom of disaster; 
The heart of the steed and the heart of the roaster 
Were beating like prisoners assaulting their walls, 
Impatient to he where the battle-field calls; 
Every nerve of the charger was strained to full play, 
With Sheridan only ten miles away. 
Under his spuming feet, the road 
Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed, 
And the landscape sped away behind 
Like an ocean dying before tbe wind; 
And the steed, like a barb fed with furnace ire, 
Swept on, with his wild eye- full of fire. 
But lo! he is nearing his heart’s desire— 
He is snuffing the smoke of the roaring fray, 
With Sheridan only five miles away. 
The first that tbe General saw were the groups 
Of stragglors, and then the repeating troops; 
What was demo—what to do-a glance told Aim both, 
Then Btriklng his spurs with a terrible oath, 
He dashed down the line ’mid a storm of huzzas, 
And the wave of retreat checked its course there be¬ 
cause 
The sight of the master compelled tt to pause. 
With foam and wilb dust the black charger was gray; 
By the flash of his eye, and his red nostrils play, 
He seemed to the whole great army to say: 
“ I hove brought you Sheridan all the way 
From Winchester down to save the day!” 
Hurrah, hurrah for Sheridan! 
Hurrah, hurrah for horse and man! 
And when their statues are placed on high 
Under the dome of the Union sky, 
The American soldier's Temple of Fame, 
There with the glorious General’s name 
Be it said in letters both bold and bright: 
“ Here is tbe steed that saved the day 
By carrying Sheridan Into tbe fight, 
From Winchester—twenty miles away!”

GOING WEST. 
“Mother, I’m going West; I shall sell out 
to the first man that offers me my price!” 
“Mother” smiled a little, quiet smile. She 
had heard of “going Weet” before. 
Uncle John continued: — “See if I don’t! 
There’s Alice Morris, who went West five 
years ago as poor as Job’s turkey, and they say 
he owns now a thousand acres of land—only 
think!” How small his own hundred-acre 
farm looked by riie side of that! He did not 
notice that little S kll left the table just then, 
almost choking, and ran away up stairs. Aunt 
Mary had no desire to go West. She knew 
they were well enough off where they were; 
and more than that, she knew that Uncle John 
would not be satisfied if he went West—that 
he would be thoroughly homesick in a fort¬ 
night. But she saw that he was more in earn¬ 
est now than ho had usually been when talking 
on that subject, and she knew that if his heart 
once became set on it, it would be difficult to 
move him from his purpose. She did not op¬ 
pose his plans by direct words just then—she 
understood that this would only arouse him to 
defend them, and thus make bis purpose 
stronger. So she executed a flank movement, 
as military people say. She passed the plate of 
butter to her husband. “I believe Golden 
Betty is doing better than ever this fall,” she 
remarked. “ Seems to me I never made such 
butter from her milk afore.” 
“’Tis splendid,” said Uncle John; “she’s a 
capital heife-r! I wouldn’t swap her now for 
Oapt. Johnson’s new Durham!” 
“Nor I, nuther,” said Will, their dozen- 
year-old boy, at his side. “Jake says she 
don’t give much milk. Our cow’s so gentle, 
too; why, father, I can milk her both sides 1” 
“And she’ll eat salt out of my hand,” said 
little Sue. 
“ I should hat to part .with her, raaly,” said 
Uncle John. 
“ Mother” got up and went to the buttery 
and brought out an unusually plethoric pie. 
“Here, father, you must try a piece ef pie. ] 
It’s made from the apples on the South Garden 
tree—you know it hasn’t borne any before!” 
“Yes, yes! it come from seed, Will, that I 
planted the day before you was born. I de¬ 
clare, mother, that’s good for seedlin’ apples. 
I don’t b’lieve we'd better graft it, had we?” 
“No, I guess not,” replied Aunt Mary, 
“Have another piece of bread, father—it’s from 
the new wheat flour. Don’t you think your 
wheat was extra good thin year?” 
“Yes, it went ten bushels to the acre niore’n 
last year, an’ the berry was agooddeal plumper. 
This bread’s fust rate. Ef I don’t sell out, I 
b’lieve I shall break up all the west lot this 
fall I guess we ain’t goin’ to be troubled with 
the insect much more.”
