Excerpt from "Miss. Lou", And, Driven Back to Eden: Illustrated A great, rudely built stone chimney was smoking languidly one afternoon. Leaning against this chimney, as if for protection and support, was a little cabin gray and decrepit with age. The door of the cabin stood wide open, for the warm spring was well advanced in the South. There was no need of a fire, but Aun' Jinkey, the mistress of the abode, said she "kep" hit bunin fer comp'...

Excerpt from The Works of E. P. RoeT the beginning of the Civil War there was a fine old residence on Meeting Street in Charleston, South Carolina, inhabited by a family almost as old as the State. Its inheritor and owner, Orville Burgoyne, was a widower. He had been much saddened in temperament since the death of his wife, and had withdrawn as far as possible from public affairs.

As society in our land grows older, and departs from primitive simplicity, as many are becoming rich, but more poor, the changes that I have sought to...

At the time when the fires are kindled once more upon the hearth, I send this story out to visit those whom I can almost hope to regard as friends. If it meets the same kind welcome and lenient treatment which my previous works have received, I shall have more than sufficient reason to be satisfied. If, in addition to being a guest at ...

Excerpt from Nature's Serial Story, Vol. 1 The love of Nature is something that may be developed in every heart, and it is a love that rarely fails to purify and exalt. To many she is a cold, indifferent beauty. They see, but do not know and appreciate her, and she passes on her way as if they were nothing to her.

Excerpt from The Hornet's Nest: A Story of Love and War It will be remembered that Charlotte is the chief town of the "heady high-minded" and famous county of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, whose people virtually declared their independence of England a year before Congress followed their example and gave us our "glorious Fourth of July." Lord Cornwallis, commander of the British army, on his retreat from this village, halted at a plantation an...
