THE OLD SETTLER'S BTORY.j

GooJ eyenin', neighbor Marcy,come in and take
a cheer, . s
If sort o' cold in the openinV tho' the tkj ia a
trifle c'ear. ,
Martha, has jest run to the croesin' to see a tteigh-
boror two, ;. -: I ,
And will be back in a minute so jf yer'Tenoth-
tu'todo, . ,
ill spin yer a yarn how Martha and I fust
struck this place
J-gh onto thirty yean ago, when thar wasn't
Ida nmftJlMft. tnM
Of house or ferra in Bloomyille, thet'a eo fuU of
.-uuo-ouo now
Then we were young and hardy, with no fur
; rows on our brow. '.m
Martha an I were childer, and lWed in a iea
. port town, I
Whar the hiiltcame alopin' greenish down to the
waters brown. j
we 'tended the village school, an' romped as
K ana ooy I
. Over the wooded uplands.with hearts chuck full
And we learned to love each other strange wer
i otherwise
I had aech brownish clusters, she seech enchant
ing eyes,
An' the old folks said it was 'good an' Martha
au a neia on
An hive in the place wer" happier ah, how the
. ears nave gone.
Our fathers were honest sailors fishermen bold
an' brave. i
So Martha an' I hev often been out on the riley
wave,
An' the old folks had pretty houses, an' women
good and kind, !
The best in the thrifty village thet any man
' could find;
And they loved to see us together, because they
wer eeUin old. I
An' they'd hev .hated to see their children alone
in the bitter cold. !
So the years went onn' the old folks lay under
the sally tree, !
An' Martha an' I were spliced and happy as folks
can oe.
An' for years we lived in the old place, nor
thought of goin' away, i
Till the childer came (an' the childer is what
one lives Tor, they say); t
An' the village had grown to a city, an' was full
O vil then
With ita, evil minded women, an' drunken
jT'f oesujuy men, I
An' we thought if we raised the childer amid
sech a heap o'sin '
They'd surely go to ruin and never enter within
The Kingdom o God's selected, whar rich an'
. poor are alike, i '
I Nor hearts are crooked with envy, with malice
or uuuiae.
So Martha and I had a chat, an' the upshot of
.11 was au uns:
We toek it into our heads thar to come to this
spot o' bliss;
So we sold every piece o' furniture, our cottage
an' paten ot land, :
An' faced for the Western prairie with axe in
' the swinrin' hand.
An Martha was great as a woman(God bless her
for what she's done),
She swung the axe in the timber, under our
scorchin' sun;
An' drew tbe plow in the furrow, as good as Hie
oe 01 men;
Came home an' dusted the house clean then
out to the field again.
Were we very lonesome? Why no, we had
- heaps to do. I
Cleanin the land' o' timber, plantin', and gatb,-
W 114 ( WW,
An' teaching the childer learnin', and readin
the y leased pace. i
Jpfi their minds witn virtue (then at a tender
age;. I
But the neighbors came as the time went, an1
happy was Martha and I. I
An' we'd many a "sleighin party" in the days
that have flown by,
An, then when the Parson came our hearts grew
sudden light i
An' the sky above dear Bloomville changed to
a cneery prignc
Come here to the window, Marcy,thar's Ransoni
our eldest son,
Over thar in the acre clearin, goin off with his
doc and gun. 1
Mark you the stride o' the lad, the fr:e swing of
un norny nana,
as the mountain grizzly ah, his the best
n the land I
o the sound o' the axe clang 'tis Ru-

wuu ueists tue uiow;
you'll see yonder towerin' beach lay
voice froon the kitchen, 'tis Ger

World's compass a merrier maid
' .akvuM meet.
' f
.i' c-a we have the heartache, when God has
been so good,
We've allers been contented since this was a sol
i - itude,
We brought up our han'some children in ways
that are true an' just,
An in the bounty o' lleaven we alius put our
j ' ' trust; .
An' when Martha and I are gathered unto tho
God we love, "
We still will wtchour darlings out of the realms
above; t
But we are not skeered to leave 'emhey'll never
go astray,
An' when we do we'll meet 'em again on the
reckonin' day.
I'm wonderin' what's keepin' Martha, the sun
' is cloudiS' so;
Aa a judge of the weather,I could swear it's goin'
, to snow.
It may be some neighbor's sick, that keeps her
away so long;
I reckon she'll soon be here Martha is not so
; strong -As
when first we struck this place she's worked
too much, by far.
What figure's thar by the clearin' a mile away
i over thar.
Rupert has shouldered his axe and both are
" headin' this way.
Why it's Martha! My yision's duller nor it has
been many a day. -
, TWO GALLIC C0CXSEI8.
THEIR EDYHIC VIEWS OF THE COUNTS!
AND THE GUILELESS PEASANTS.
One Saturday, toward 5 o'clock in tbe
afternoon, Alphonse Mesnard came out
o fthe Ministry of Commerce, and when
Ins feet touched the pavement, he
skipped and bounded with a step so light
and agile that it would have prevented
Morphenr from sleeping1. On the same
day, at the same hour, Gabriel Rondeau
crossed the threshold of the Ministry of
the Navy, and no sooner did he reach the
street than he burst forth, with a full
voice, into a chromatic scale of which
Mario might have been jealous. In the
evening these two men met at the Ma
bill e ball.
'Gabriel," said Mesnard, "theMinia
er ef Commerce is a great minister."
"Alphonse," responded Rondeau, "the
Minister of the Navy must be greater
still." : . . .
"Do you know -what measure has
Tbeea determined on by the eminent ad
ministrator under whose orders I work
at the rate of eighteen hundred lives a
; J ear?"
taken this very day by the illustrious
mariner who employs me at his office at
the rate of one hundred and fifty francs
a month?" ,
"fie has allowed me a leave of absence
of six weeks."
"He has consented to deorive himself
- of my vaiuaDie services for about thirty
days."
"You have only a month liberty, and I
Lave sir weeks at my disposal, whence I
consider that my minister is greater than
yours by a sixth."
"A mistake, my dear fellow. It proves
that the government can more easily
dispense with your services and intelli
gence than mine. That's the conclu
sion." '
"How do you intend to spend your va
cation?" "I have only one desire. It ia to flee
from Paris and its suburbs. Born in
the heart of the city, nearly twenty-six
years ago, I do not remember to have
-v passed the limits of the department of
the Seine. Will you believe it? I am
acquainted only with sheej) in the form
of leg-of-mutton and chop. ; I know that
it is a quadruped which has wool on its
back, but I know it only by hearsay. It
; ; is shameful to confess, but it iitrue. I
cm sick of politics, literature! civiliza
tion, theaters, newspapers, arS, above
' all, the ministry. "Orus. qfotndo te
aspickmf Whioh I shall allow myself
to translate in this way: 'When shall I
drink some unadulterated milk in the
shade of an old moss-grown tree?' "
"Give me your band," said Rondeau.
"I, too, have hungered for verdure, for
the open air, and for the warm sun. If
you were born on the left bank of the
Seine, I was born on the right. My
long travels have been confined to the
suburbs of the city. Once I went as far
as Versailles. My family accompanied
me to the depot, and our parting was
heartrending. But, by my faith, to-day
that is of no consequence. I have a va
cation, you have a vacation. Let us take
wing, and bless the ministers who have
given ns this leisure."
"Where shall we go? Italy is very
far."
"Let me attend to that. A friend has
invited me to go and see him. You can
come to Mesangerie with me."
"But I do not know your friend."
"I shall present you and then you can
make his acquaintance.'
"Will that suffice?"
"'Parblne! Before we were intro
duced to each other I did not know him
any more than yon know him now."
"That is so. Where does he live?"
"In Poitou. Oh, Alphonse ! Do you
appreciate your good fortune ? You are
going to behold landscapes which will
not revolve on themselves like the
diorama. We shall roll on the moss and
in the hay. I shall behold the woods
I, who to this day have eeen the elm
only after being cut into laths." .
"Let us start to-morrow," exclaimed
Mesnard, enraptured with this rural
picture.
"Agreed," said Rondeau. "To-morrow,
then, at seven o'clock, at the Or
leans Station, and may we travel in the
company of charming women, as do the
heroes of romance in the newspapers of
the day.
"Alphonse, I forewarn you that I re
serve tbe brunette for myself."
"That is fortunate, Gabriel, for I love
blondes only.
Vain illusion ! They traveled with a
commercial drummer, a tutor, an army
officer, and an insurance agent. As for
charming women, there was not a shad
ow of one. The more beautiful half of
humanity was represented only by a
venerable gray-haired nun, buried under
the severe folds of her robe.
After a short stay in the city, the two
friends intended to proceed to Mosan
gerie. Between Alphonse and Gabrile
tbe following had been agreed upon
They would start the next day at five
o'clock in the morning precisely, and the
first to arouse should awaken the other.
When separating in the evening, Ron
deau said to Mesnard :
"Remembei, I depend on your ac
customed punctuality.
Mesnard answered : "Don't forget
that I rely n your well-known prompt
ness." That is why they did not leave iho
next day. The well-known promptness
of the one snored until eleven o'clock.
As for the accustomed punctuality of the
other, it awakened a little before mid
day. Taught by experience, theytpok
the wise resolution of entrusting to the
servants of the hotel the care of arousing
them at that unseasonable hour when
daylight appears and the rag-pickers
skulk away. Thanks to tbat precaution,
the departure took place on the day
named, and at tbe minute indicated.
.
It was a beautiful morning in Sep
tember. The air was full of balmy
odors, thousands of little birds flew from
branch to branch with lively chirpings
and joyful flapping of wings, and the
sun, which rose in a sky of purple and
gold, seemed a wonderful topaz taken
from the jewel-boxes of the Almighty.
"How fragrant it is here," said Mes
nard, whose nostrils dilated with pleas
ure. The fact is, that for two unhappy
noses, condemned to inhale Parisian
dust all the year, this morning odor
was better than all the perfumes of
Arabia.
"What a beautiful green are the
meadows ! What rich tints ! What an
endless expanse of emeralds ! How
pleasant to gaze upon, especially when
one is reduced, like us, in point of ver
dure, to the olive coat of the head clerk
and the leather cushion of the second
clerk."
"Miserable man ! Why do you speak
of second clerk and head clerk ?" inter
rupted Rondeau. "I am no longer a
clerk; I am a shepherd, and I answer to
the pretty name of Nemorin. I would
give the fattest and whitest lamb of my
future flock to hear an air performed on
the flute, the shepherd's-pipe or the bag
pipe. It seems to me that all other
sound would be misplaced in this beau
tiful country. Ah, heavens !"
1 "What is the matter?"
"Can I believe my eyes?"
: "One can always believo his eyes. But
what is the matter with you ?"
j "A flock of sheep, of real sheep, is
coming this way. Why, instead of
browsing on the tender grass of the field
do they travel like ns, in the dust of the
road ? Let us ask the shepherd."
: Having hastened forward they ap
proached an individual of wicked mien
who did not carry a crook, but instead,
his left hand was armed with a formida
ble club.
I "Shepherd Cordyn," said Gabriel,
"let us rest a moment in this charming
spot. While we are taking shelter in
this old beech tree, your lambs can graze
on the thyme and flowering cytisus, and
then they can quench their thirst in the
stream of pure water."
I The shepherd Corydon fastened on his
interlocutor a look of suspicion, .and
twirled his club menacingly
i "What ! What !" said he; "I have no
time to gabble. They are waiting at the
slaughter-house for me and my compan
ions. I am not Corydon; I am a butch
er. A couple of fools 1" he grumbled,
while moving off. sneering at them.
The two men walked on for some time
in silence: Suddenly, and with one ac
cord, they stopped and listened.
i"A thrush," said Mesnard in a low
voice.
"No: it is a nightingale. What light
ness in its roulades ! What grace in its
trills r
f What melodious accents !"
'Must I acknowledge it to yon? I
have never seen a nightingale."
rl have seen one m tbe museum of
natural history. It was stuffed."
' That s strange, observed Gabriel.
"I could swear to have heard already
some part of the air that oar nightingale
is singing." And he commenced to hum
it between his teeth:
VTra, la. la, la tra, la, la, la. What
is that air?"
"Eh I I remember it now " exclaimed
Mesnard. "It is 'LAmant d'Amanda."
"On mv word vou are right, it is
some bird escaped from a concert hall.
It seems to prove that witn patience you
can teach certain birds any song."
"I have a curiosity to see this nightin
gale. Where do the sounds come from,
Gabriel?''
"From that hedge there."
Mesnard picked up a stone and threw
it with all his strenghth in the direction
indicated. A cry was- heard behind the
thicket. The two tourists stood stupe
fied. "Sacrebleul" said a famous voice,
"you avo iaB' missed breaking my
skull." At the same time appeared a lit
tle Sold man. With bis right hand he
rubbed hiB head, and in his left he held
a bassoon, hung by a black string to one
of the buttons of his coat. "Gentlemen "
said the little old man, "may I venture
to ask why you stoned me in that man
ner? What is my offense? It may be
that you dislike the bassoon; but I love
it, and I wish you to observe that tbe
country is for every one; therefore I have
a perfect right to amuse myself by mak
ing the neighboring echoes resound with
the harmonious notes of my favorite in
strument." "Oh, sir! No excuses, I pray you,"
said Gabriel. "My friend took you for a
thrush, and I for a nightingale."
They hastened away, while the artist,
who had never enjoyed a similar grati
fication, cried to them in the sweetest
voice: s
"I am Eberle, professor of the bas
soon, aud 'fagotto primo' in the orches
tra of tbe theater, at yonr service.
After an hour of walking, they espied a
tavern, which they entered for refresh
ments.
"What shall I give you, gentlemen?"
said the hostess, with a polite courtesy.
"Some milk, chestnuts, and brown
bread."
"Would you not prefer an omelette
with truffles, an 'entrecote bearnaise,'
and a bottle of St. Emilion? While
waiting, here is the 'Figaro' to pass away
the time."
"Are we in the Cafe-Riche in Paris, or
are we in the heart of Poitou?" asked
Mesnard. , ;
"Is the country a chimera?" replied
Rondeau.
Two peasants, clothed in drugget, with
wooden shoes on their feet and cotton
caps on their heads, entered the estab
lishment, and took places not far from
them, before a bottle of wine.
"At last!" said Gabriel, "here are two
children of nature. We are going to
know if potatoes are diseased, if the
crops have been large, and if the wine
will be good this year."
"Your health, Father Bourdier." .
"Yours, Father Gaury." ,
"Have you your Suez still?"
"I sold them to take shares in Pan
ama." "I made a good stroke in British con
sols." "When does your son return?'
"Very soon. He will be admitted as
an advocate in five days.
"You are very fortunate. Mine will
not receive tbe degree of doctor until
next year."
"Let us go away," said Gabriel. "We
are dealing with two citizens of the
Place-Royale disguised aspeasants.
After staying a week in Mesangerie,
Gabriel noticed that Alphonse disap
peared invariably at certain hours, and
Alphonse observed that Gabriel vanished
at a given moment every day.
"Where do you go in the evening,
after dinner?" asked Mesnard. v
"Where do you stroll in the morning
before breakfast ?" inquired Rondean.
'I can tell nothing. I have ptomised
not to speak of it."
"And I have sworn to keep an inviol
able silence."
"You have secrets from your old com
rade 1"
"Have you not some from yours?"
"Oh, I? That is different. It con
cerns a young woman whom I must not
compromise."
"I, too. My secret concerns a young
girl. Do you think I ougbt to com
promise her ?"
"Are you not sure of my discretion ?"
"Are you not certain of mine ?"
"All that I can confess is, that I am
the hero of a charming adventure."
. "And I of a delightful romance."
"The most adorable simplicity !"
"The most piquant artlessness !"
"Imagine, my dear boy "
"Fancy, my dear fellow "
"Fool ! What was I going to do ?
"Stupid ! WThat was I going to say ?"
"Good-by, Gabriel."
"Good-evening, Alphonse."
While they conversed thus, two villag
ers accosted each other mysteriously, and
withdrew from observation under a
clump of chestnut-trees.
"Well, Father Durand, how do affairs
stand ?" asked the younger of the elder.
"All right, neighbor Dubois! All
right ! That's a blessing. What fools
these citizens of Paris are ! Mine, es
pecially." "Mine is not less so, I assure you.
He is madly in love with my daughter,
Valentine, and writes the most extrava
gant things to her." .
"Mine says that he is dead in love
with my wife, Lucille, and addresses to
her verses without rhyme or reason."
"Never mind, my boy, they have most
to laugh at who laugh last."
"You think that they will suspect nothing?-
"They ? No ! They will be complete
ly dazed, and then we can wring from
them that which will enable us to drink
their healths at our ease."
"Ah, so ! Your wife has practiced her
part well."
"Fear nothing there. And your
daughter?"
"Don't be uneasy. ' Valentine has her
role at the tips of her fingers."
The next day Alphonse said to Gabriel:
"I have a favor to ask of you my friend."
"So much the better, my friend ; I was
going to ask a kindness of you."
"Can you lend me an embroidered
shirt ?"
"Have you any perfumery at your dis
posal ?"
"Shall I be inquisitive if I ask you a
question ?"
"That will depend on the question."
"Why are you obliged to appear more
ornamented than usual ?"
"Why do you wish to be perfumed
more than ordinary?"
"I am going to tell you."
"You shall know."
"I am going to see her this evening."
"I am going to spend this evening with
her." v
"If you could know my Valentine!"
"If you could know my Lucille!"
"Eighteen years old and blonde as an
ear of corn."
"Twenty years old, and dark as the
night."
'A simplicity that cannot be found in
cities."
"An artlessness that can be found only
in the country."
"My love affair is as sweet as an idyl
of Theocritus."
"Mine is as pure as an eclogne of
Virgil."
"Oh! when I think of the girls that I
have been in love with."
"Ah ! when I think of the girls I have
sighed for."
"I am ashamed of my weakness."
"I blush for myself'
Two hours afterward Mesnard knocked
three times, mysteriously, at Valentine's
door."
"Is that you, Monsieur Alphonse?"
asked a voice, sweetly agitated.
"Yen, ray beautiful angel."
The door quickly opened and closed
noiselessly. The same ceremony took
place at Lucille's door. Immediately this
double cry resounded:
"Heavens! My father!"
"Alas! My husband!"
Alphonse turned round. He saw the
muzzle of a gun six inches from his
breast. Gabriel looked up. He saw a
hatchet menacing his head.
"Robber!" roared Durand.
"Scoundrel!" foamed Dubois.
"I ought to kill you like a thief."
"I ought to beat you like a dog."
"The law authorizes me."
"The five codes are on my side."
"Mercy!" gasped Mesnard.
"PityJ murmured Rondeau.
What happened? Alas! let us cast
a veil over the affair, or, if we speak
of it, let ns speak very softly, very Bof tly,
so that Theocritus, Virgil, and the rest of
them, may know nothing about it. There
ensued a scene of extortion. Alphonse
and Gabriel remained to sign two bills
oi exchange of three thousand francs, on
sight at ninety days; the one for value
received in dried walnuts, the other for
value received in cloves of garlic. Mes
nard and Rondean returned in great
haste to Paris, but not without having
entered a complaint in the hands of jus
tice. And tbe idyl is being nufolded in
the courts of assizes. Translated for
the Argonaut from the French.

Ihey Sever Get Over IU
"Do you know, my dear," she sud
denly said, as she looked up from her
piece-work do you know that next week
will be the twentieth anniversary of our
wedding?" .
"Is that so? By George! how time
flies! Why, I had no idea of it!"
"Yes, we have been married alm6st
twenty years," she continued, with some
thing of a sigh. "You have been a good
husband to me, darling."
"And you have been a blessed little
wife to me, Susan. Come here till I kiss
you. There!"
"I was thinking to-day I was think
ing of of "
"Of that sickly-faced baboon who used
to go home with you from prayer meet
ing before I knew you?" he interrupted.
"What do you mean?"
"Why, that Brace fellow, of course."
"Why, George, he wasn't such a bad
fellow."
"Wasn't, eh! Well, I'd like to know of
a worse one. He didn't know enough to
chew putty, and there you were as good
as engaged to him." ,
"Yes George, but you know that you
were keeping company at the same time
with that Helen Perkins."
"That Helen Perkins? Wasn't Miss
Perkins one of the loveliest and pretti
est young ladies in Liverpool?"
"No, she wasn't! She had teeth like a
horse!"
"She did, eh? How about that stoop
shouldered; white-headed Brace?"
"And such big feet as she had! Why,
George she was the laughing stock of the
town."
"Not much she she wasn't! She was a
young lady who would have mide a
model wife."
"Then why didn't you marry her and
all ber moles and warts and mushroom
eyes?"
"Don't talk that way to me! Her eyes
were as nice as yours!"
"They wasn't."
"They was! I believe you-are sorry
because you didn't marry Brace!"
"And I know you are sorry because
yen didn't marry that beautiful and ac
complished Miss Peikins!"
"I am, eh? I thought yon said I had
been a ood husband to you?"
"And didn't you call me your blessed
little wife?"
Then he plumped down and began to
read the mortgage sales, and advertise
ments in the paper, and she picked up
her sewing and gave the cat a gentle kick.
These old things will come up now and
then, and somehow neither side ever gets
entirely over them.
Mine. Jillssou's Insane Husband.
The Paris Figaro contains a piece of
news which will be heard with deep re
gret by the thousands of Mme. Nilsson's
American friends and admirers. - M.
Rouzand, the husband of the gifted
prima donna, has fallen an innocent vic
tim to tho prevalent mania for specula
tion. He was, it appears, largely inter
ested in the business of one of the Paris
stock brokers. During the recent panic
he was given to understand or fancied
that he lost the whole of his fortune.
This proved, happily, to be a mistake;
but the excitement caused by the fear of
his imaginary ruin turned his head, and
yesterday evening it was found neces
sary to remove him to tbe private asylum
of Dr. Goujon, where he spends his time
winning airy millions by fantastic rises
in securities. M. Rouzaud had been for
some time past inclined to hypochondria.
He was generally and sincerely esteemed
and one of the few men who married a
prima donna without having to repent
their temerity.
Auguste Rouzaud was a native of the
Isle of Bourbon, where his grandfather
married a creole woman and amassed
considerable wealth. M. Rouzaud, who
had a fortune of about $100,000, was
married to Mile. Christine Nilsson, the
famous Swedish prima donna, in West
minster Abbey, London, on the 27th of
July, 1872.
How beautiful is the exhibition of hu
manity in the young. A boy found a
poor, half-f rrzea wasp in the garret and
placed it upon a chair before the fire to
thaw out. Surely the angels must have
looked down approvingly on such an act
of kindness. When Bister Mary's beau
called that evening he glanced at the
chair, and seating himself in it mur
mured: "Ah, bless her heart, how
thoughtful sho is for my comfort!" Two
minutes later there was as much noise
and racket in the parlor as if it had been
turned into a den of deamons. The wasp
had thawed out; that is why Mary isn t
married yet.
The Boston Journal tells how a friend
humourously and with applause related
a story of his visit to New York. "I vos
eating a long time, ven a vaiter he comes
up and he says, 'Vil you haf somediug
more?' Und I say, 'No, I vil not; pring
me another slice of roast peef.' "
"Hold the Fort."
I notice a number of newspapers giv
ing, or attempting to give, a correct
statement of the circumstances under
which our lamented friend and brother,
Juilge J. W. McKenzie, performed the
signal jact of heroism at Altoona, none of
which exactly coincide with a detailed
statement of the case as given to me by
the I "hero" jhimself. I had been es
pecially intimate with him for years.
Not one worq has ever fallen from his
lips relative to this matter, to my know
edge. One day, learning incidentally
from another, of his connection with
"Hold the foift, for I am coming." I
took occasion to ask i him about it. He
seemed at first reluctant to tell me, but I
pressed him, and this is substantially
his own account of it. After describing
the situation of the armies at Altoona
and Kenesaw, he said:
"General Sherman's signal corps had
beenj trying to send dispatches from
Kenesaw to General Corse. We could
read, the dispatches with our telescopes,
but could not receive or answer them
back! because the rebel shots were so'
thick. The rebels also had a lot of sharp
shooters posted watching our squad, and
every time a man would show himself
they would pick him off. At this time
General Corse came, np a: id said.address
ing the signal corps,' Whc is in command
here ?' Our Captain wa t absent, and I
was in charge of the squad,and I replied.
'I am, sir.' The General then asked if a
message could be sent to General Sher
man, in answer to bis 'To hold the fort,
for he was coming,' just read. I replied
'that it could be if it was absolutely
necessary.' General Corse then wrote
out the message and handed it to me. It
read as follows:
To General Sherman: I am short a
cheek-bone and one ear, but can whip
hell out of them yet.
General Coese.
"I took it and the signal flag and
called for a volunteer from my little
quad, No man responded. I then of
fered the flagstaff to each man and asked
if he would volunteer, and each declined.
I then thought I would detail one, but
my brother Tom was in the squad, and
the thought struck me if I detailed an
other than him they would say at once
'partiality.' If I detailed him and he
was shot I would never forgive myself,
and it seemed like certain death to any
one to undertake it. At this moment of
hesitation the general, seeing no man go
ing forward, said to me firmly: 'Lieu
tenant, I thought you said this
message could be sent?' I replied,
'It can,' and without further de
lay I mounted the signal station
and commenced sending the message,
expecting every moment to be shot. The
flag was about eighteen feet long, and
the wind was blowing some, and I found
it very hard work, and felt as though I
must give out before I was done. At this
moment, when it seemed I could stand it
no longer, a stranger, not a member of
the signal corps, came up behind me,
put his arms around me and along my
arms, took hold of the flag-staff, and,
standing behind me, helped me to wave
the answer back to Sherman. I do not
think I could have sent the whole
message without help or rest." fDes

porting, what be claims to be true of bis Rheumatic

the folly of applying external remedies for a disease

If you have a thorn or splinter in your finger and
you put on Chloroform, or some other drug, you
stop the aensibillty of pain for a time only. Tba
thorn Is still there, and as soon as tbe effect of the
drug dies away the pain returns. In order to get rid
of tbe pain you must bare that thorn plucked out of
the flenli. That is precisely the same way with'
Bhenmatism; yoa might rub on the skin some drag
to stop the pain for a little time, bnt the pain ia
sure to return as soon aa the effect of tbe drug dies
away. Now it bss been proven beyond tbe slightest
doubt that Rheumatism is in the deepest Channels
of the Blood, and that tnere ia no other way to reach

Tbe Doctor baa come to tbe conclusion, after

tbe Liver baa a great deal to do with Bhenmatism.
