The Pony Express
Chapter I
At A Nation's Crisis

The fall of Fort Sumter in April, 1861, did not produce the Civil War crisis. For many months, the gigantic struggle, then imminent, had been painfully discernible to far-seeing men. In 1858, Lincoln had forewarned the country in his "House Divided" speech. As early as the beginning of the year 1860 the Union had been plainly in jeopardy. Early in February of that momentous year, Jefferson Davis, on behalf of the South, had introduced his famous resolutions in the Senate of the United States. This document was the ultimatum of the dissatisfied slave-holding commonwealths. It demanded that Congress should protect slavery throughout the domain of the United States. The territories, it declared, were the common property of the states of the Union and hence open to the citizens of all states with all their personal possessions. The Northern states, furthermore, were no longer to interfere with the working of the Fugitive Slave Act. They must repeal their Personal Liberty laws and respect the Dred Scott Decision of the Federal Supreme Court. Neither in their own legislatures nor in Congress should they trespass upon the right of the South to regulate slavery as it best saw fit.

These resolutions, demanding in effect that slavery be thus safeguarded—almost to the extent of introducing it into the free states—really foreshadowed the Democratic platform of 1860 which led to the great split in that party, the victory of the Republicans under Lincoln, the subsequent secession of the more radical Southern states, and finally the Civil War, for it was inevitable that the North, when once aroused, would bitterly resent such pro-slavery demands.

And this great crisis was only the bursting into flame of many smaller fires that had long been smoldering. For generations the two sections had been drifting apart. Since the middle of the 17th century, Mason and Dixon's line had been a line of real division separating two inherently distinct portions of the country.

Read the passage from Animal Farm. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. Which detail best supports the central idea that Clover is disappointed with the farm? “There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind.” “Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her.” “But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled.” “Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.”

Read the poem below and answer the question.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou sees the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

For The Birds
Joanne Quaglia

1One of the simplest pleasures in life is watching birds as they fly through the sky. It is a great way to observe nature. They zip from tree to tree and sing beautiful songs. One of the best things about bird watching is that you can do it right at home. By creating a bird friendly environment in your backyard with birdhouses, bird feeders, and plenty of trees, shrubs, and flowers that attract birds, you will have front-row seats to nature year-round.

2To get started, first decide which kinds of feathered creatures you want to attract. They will have to be birds that are common to your area. You will not likely attract seagulls, birds that live near water, if you live high atop a mountain. Next, find out which plants different bird species like to eat. For example, hummingbirds love flowers that provide nectar, a sweet, sugary liquid found deep inside flowers. To attract hummingbirds, plant petunias or hibiscuses, since these are good sources of nectar.

3Learning the food habits of the birds you want to attract is important. Many types of trees, shrubs, and plants produce fruits, berries, acorns, and nuts that serve as food sources for birds. Before planting anything, the first thing you should do is talk to an expert at your local garden center to find out which trees, shrubs, and wildflowers are native to your area. This will ensure that anything you plant will adapt well to the climate and will grow nicely to meet birds' needs.

4Aside from planting, a bird feeder is also an excellent way to attract birds to your backyard and to supply food. A bird feeder contains seeds or bird food. It is a good idea to have more than one bird feeder since different types of birds eat different foods. For example, finches and sparrows love seeds, while woodpeckers and orioles prefer fruits and berries. Having different types of feeders that provide a variety of foods will attract many birds to your backyard.

5Birds enjoy a day at the spa to relax and refresh as much as you do. Consider adding a birdbath to your backyard to attract birds. Birds will love having a source of clean, fresh water to drink and a place where they can clean up after a long flight. Always keep the birdbath clean and replace the water often to avoid attracting mosquitoes that can carry diseases.

6Since you will have plenty of birds around your backyard from all of your efforts, they will need shelter. Birdhouses are perfect for this purpose. Birdhouses protect birds from enemies such as the neighbor's cat and provide shelter from severe weather such as extreme heat or cold. Birds also build nests in trees, shrubs, and tall grass.

7Remember that you can observe birds year-round. Though many birds migrate to warmer climates when temperatures drop, others remain throughout the cold season. For instance, the blue jay is one of the most beautiful winter birds. Since food is difficult to find outdoors in the winter, keep your birdfeeders well stocked if you live in a colder climate. In addition, plant trees and shrubs that provide food to your feathered friends when temperatures drop
