Turning a corner of the house, she got a view of the stables in the rear. Yes, the horses were both ready Peyton was standing quietly, -holding the reins and waiting for the riders to come. She moved down the broad carriage-way, nodding pleasantly to the groom. Well, Peyton, did you think I was never coming? She asked.

When he understood it he called for his friends and told them of it. Then said he - "I am going to my Fathers, and though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that gets it. My marks and my scars I carry with me to be a witness for me, that I have fought His battle Who will now be my rewarder." When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the riverside, into which as he went, he said - "Death! where is thy sting?" And as he went down deeper, he said - "Grave! where is thy victory?" So he passed over and all the trumpets sounded for him on the Other Side.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Old Plantation Days He is not like another one Of all my friends. He stands alone. Beyond the field and bounding wood, Far on the seashore's solitude, A Tree behind a rugged Rock Has long withstood the breaker's shock. The Rock is bold and clean and hard; Its face by tempests old is scarred. It changes not in sun or rain, In calm, or raging hurricane. It has an aspect nobly grand, Interpreting for sea and land The grandeur of the gales that break. But cannot once this Titan shake. It has a beauty fine and grave, A beauty wrought by wind and wave. Sometimes in maelstroms it is drowned; Sometimes by wild foam-flowers crowned As if the mad Gale understood The Rock's calm-couraged hardihood, And gave, the harrying waves among, A tribute to a champion strong. . . No storm this outpost has escaped; Its strength by hardship has been shaped, By it, in nights of fear and gloom, The Terrible was overcome. It won in conflict, not in ease, Its power of tremendous peace. Such shelter as it gives the Tree, My steadfast friend has given me.

He had waved his hand, and grim War shrunk away out of sight; he had given a signal, and all the mules and horses and live stock that had been taken away by the foragers were returned in a jiffy; he had lifted his finger, and a cordon of soldiers was placed around the house and the outlying buildings. Everything was in its place; so far as the eye could see, war had forcibly taken no tolls from the plantation.
