stomach Two years agoit broke out on nay head
and covered lay scalp and with one sore, which
was painful and ioathsome beyond description. /
tried many medicines and several physiolans but
without much relief from anything In fact, tha
disorder grew worse. At length was rejoiced to
read n.tlie Gospel Messenger that youhad prepared
an Alternative tSarsaparillaG for knew from your
reputation that any thing YOU made must be good
sent to Cincinnati and got it, and used it ill It
cured me. took it, as YOU advise in smSll doses Of
ateaspeonful over month, and used almost three
bottles. New and healthy skin soon began to form
under the scab, which after while fell off My
skin is now clear, and know by my feelings that
the disease has gone from my system. You can we'll

tons by it constantly.

Mineral Point weekly tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1859-1868, 1864-08-17

a deadlock when We were suddenly startIed
BY a great noise proceeding from the parior
Mr.. hobbs jumped over the bar, and rushed
into the room, followed by the whole body of
electors; and there we discovered Parsley
and Barrowfeld still sitting in their chairs,
but engaged in mortal combat; pounding at
each other with their walking sticks like two
Knights in q tournament.
Mr.. Gubbins made rush at Parsley and
said, "Ah, would you ?" At the same mo-
ment Mr.. hobbs bounced upon Barrowfeld
and said, "What are you up to ~ accompa-
nying the question with an admonitory slap.
An elector was struck with a brilliant idea.
Don't part 'em; let 'em fight it out; and
then Wen see which is the best man"
The proposal met with general approval;
and the interference being suspended, Pars
ley and Barrowfeld resumed the tournament;
but being out of reach of each other, the
only effect was the clashing of sticks. Event
ually, however, by a great effort, Parsley
made lunge forward, and hitting the stick
by which Barrowfeld was shored up, knock
ed it from beneath him, and laid the edihce
once more in ruins
A cheer was immed iately given for the vic
torious Parsley. The question was settled
now. Parsley had proved the best man.
Mr.. hobbs made attempt TO resist the
conclusion; but his logical effort to show that
Barrowheld was the best man because he had
lost the fight, was received with derison and
scorn; and after vain attempt to explain his
views more clearly, Mr.. hobbs scratched his
head, and appeared to be convinced that he
was wrong.
| The votes were taken in the presence OF
| two churchwardens, and Parsley stood at the
head of the poll The declaration made
amid much applause; but after the excite
ment of the election had subsidized little,
! and the electors had had time for reflection
| over a quiet pipe in the bar-parlor, it began
| to occur to them that the conclusion they had
| come to was not exactly the right one. Per
| ceiving that this was a mental step IN the
| right direction, | endeavored TO state the
| problem in a mathematical manner, and TO
| show that the conclusion was wrong, because
/ it had been drawn from false premises.
Mathematics and logic, however, did not
achieve the triumph | expected; and the
| bearings of the question were not clearly per
| ceived until Mr.. hobbs put it in this way
| "When two donkeys is matched to run a
race, the rule of the course IS, The hlnd-
most wins"
! When this law of the donkey race-course
| had been deliberately expounded in its rela-
| ton to the peculiar disqualification of Pars-
/ lev and Barrowfeld, the fog which had hung
| bout the intellectual faculties of the elect
/ ors gradually cleared off, and eventually ad-
mi tied The clear light of conviction that they
haG given their votes for the wrong man. 1t
was Mr. hobbs who remarked, by way of a
toast WHAT'S done can't be undone."
To which Mr. Gubbins replied, by way of

THE BATTLE IN THE CLOUDS.
BY ". D. HowELL5.

Where the dews and rains of Heaven have their
fountain,
Like its thunder and Its lighting our braves
burst upon the toe,
e. above the clouds on Freedoms Lookout
Mountain
Raining lifsblood like water the valleys.down
below.
o. green be thy laurels that grow,
q sweet be the wiId-buds that blow,
IN the aelIs of the mountain where the braves
lying low
I5ghs If our hopes aud crown OF our story,
Right as sunlight, pure as starlight shall their
deeds of daring glow
While the day and the night out of Heaven shed
thei- glory,
IN Freedoms Lookout Mountain whence they
routed Freedom foe
o, soft be the gales when they
Through the pines on the summit where
they blow,
Chanting solemn for the souls tina. pass'd
below.
