A DEADLY STRUGGLE.

we Dao nearly nDlsneo tlls part OF our
task, when, rendered reckless by the ap.
parent security with which it was coutin-
ued, the spla,hing of each bag irto the

our dangerous ueighbors at the other ex.
tremity of the dwelling. H flung the
last nine down into its depths three at
once, instead of dropping them singly, as
be had hitherto done. At this mcment,
the close proximity of approaching foot
steps along the roof @ ade me turn in the
direction whence the sound they caused
proceeded, and Instantly l was engaged
in deadly struggle with an antagonist.
The scene now became one of the wild :
est confusion. The rush of hostile feet
along the roof bespoke the rapid advance
of foes, whose plumbers it would be mad :
ness to contend with. Beneath despe.
rate encounter was going between my
comrade and Que or more of the rebels,
as many fierce oath testified. My left
hand was firmly fastened on the throat
of the man with whom l was coDtending,
yet he clung to one with maddening te-
nacity. Reflection aud action were the
twinborn of an urgent second. With my
right hand l had managed to draw and
cock my revolver. My life and liberty

in savage fury. with fellow avidently

united to his, and with one concentrated,
determined and desperate effort we flung
our herculean foe headlong down the

Without waiting to draw breath We
started and fed for life. battling a host Of
enemies by the suddeuness of our plunge
amidst the thick surrounding darkness.
This way" Dried H, and keeping
close together We quickly reached our
concealed wagon. To spring inside was
the work of a second, and away We went

to carry round the bags to the extreme

warily than ever, at each step, we at last

IMPURE BLOOD!

The blood is the lifei and when any foreign OF
healthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at once dis
tributed to every organ of the body. Every nerve
feels the poison, and all the vital organs quickly
complain The stomach will not digest tn food
perfectly The liver ceases to secrete suficiency
so the circulation is feeble. The lungs become
clogged with the poisonous matter; hence cough
and all from slight impurity at the fountain
head of life--the Blood AS if you had thrown
some earth, for instance, in pure spring, from
which ran q tiny rivulet, in a few minutes the
whole course of the stream becomes disturbed and
discolored. AS quickly does impure blood fly to
every part and leave its sting behind All the pas
apes become obstructed and unless the obstruction
is removed the lamp of life soon dies out.
These pills not only purify the blood, but regen-
crate all the secretions of the body; therefore,

Brother Aired Stacy, writing from
Burleson county, says there was Il
white frost on the 10Th Of this
month upon land that had been re-
Gently plowed. We had the same
in this county, but we do not think
any serious injury was done to veg
citation.
A correspondent writing from Co.
ry, Ellis county, says the prospect
for Il wheat crop is very fine. This
is the news from Northern counties
generally, and if no disaster comes
upon the small grain the crop will
be more abundant than ever before
in Texas. We believe that the God
of nations will bless and prosper us
as nation, and that because we are
obeying his revealed will. Let us
be more faithful in doing our duty
to God, to ourselves, to our slaves,
and to strangers.-TeraS Baptist
