TOAST TO THE SCOTCH.
Poem of Mrs. Nina Hall Cvington
Read Before Society in Buffalo,
N. Y.
Mrs. Nina Hall Covington, the tal
ented wife of Mr. Lawrence E. Cov
ington, a former Laurinburg citizen,
the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Coving
ton, is the author of the following
toast to the Scottish Society of
America, which was widely published
some weeks ago, and had the distinc
tion of being read before the St. An
drew's Society of Buffalo, N. Y.
We are far from bonnie Scotland,
But our hearts are leal and true,
And we're thinking ever fondly
Of the land across the blue;
And the green hills of Ben Airlie,
And the lakes where Ellen strolled,
And the fields where Bruce and Wal
lace Bravely fought in days of old.
We are trying to be neutral,
But our pulses throb and stir
As we hear that troops are marching
From the Highlands far and near;
There's a sigh for those brave lassies
Who must sadly weep at hame,
And we scan the list of wounded
For some Scottish clansman's name.
As our clans met down in Robeson,
Heart to heart and hand to hand,
Loyal, true to this great country,
Joined with love for dear Scotland.
There were stirring Scottish speeches,
There were songs of "our countree"
And we stretched out to our comrades
Loving hands across the sea.
Drink the toast and drink it standing,
Long May Scotland's sons still meet,
Doing honor to their country
Honor to their women sweet;
Long may songs like Annie Laurie
Make the heart and pulses flame,
And the glory of old Scotland
Still resound in halls of fame.
Mrs. Covington is a talented young
woman and is rapidly gaining literary
favor throughout the country.
For six years Mr. and Mrs. Coving
ton have made Raleigh their home and
during this time Mrs. Covington has
taken a most prominent part in the
literary life of the city. She is Re
cording Secretary 'of the North Caro
lina Society of the Daughters of the
Revolution; is official reporter for the
Womans' Club and for sometime was
editor of the Womans' Department of
the News and Observer. Her work
on that paper gained for her statewide
recognition and praise. Her poetry
in several instances has been copied
by Washington, Atlanta and other
papers.
Interested friends have urged her
to issue a volume of her poems, and
she is at present at work on an edi
tion of the poems of Sir Walter Ral
eigh, which will be published by the
Daughters of the Revolution as soon
as the manuscript is ready.

The Old, Old Subscriber.
How dear to my heart are the old
things in general,
When fond recollection presents them
to view;
Old pewter, old linen, old friends and
old china,
Old books and old songs are far bet
ter than new.
And old shoes for comfort (We need
new ones badly)
The old corncob pipe I shall always
hold dear,
But the old, old subscriber, I mention
him gladly,
Ever faithful and true, he renews by
the year.
The old, old subscriber, the dear old
subscriber,
The. faithful old friend who renews
every year.
Old wine and old sweethearts, the
older the better;
The old folks at home what is home
' without them ?
The old swimming hole it must not
be forgotten
The jewel of Memory's whole diadem;
Old times and old customs, and e'en
the old dances
(We'll have to admit we cannot tur
key trot) "
But of old institutions, if one must
take chances,
The old, old subscriber's the best of
the lot.
The old, old subscriber, the dear old
subscriber,
The paid up subscriber's the best of
the lot. Selected.
