He then went on and told me all about
it. One day he and one other of our
men were surrounded in Q house
near Lurgy, in Page County,
Virginia, by q squad of Fsderals, and
after little tight in which Copleston
was wounded in the leg, the two were
captured and taken into the enemy's
camp. They were held for few days
and were then sentenced to be shot as
an act of retaliation for some sins laid
at Mosby's door. A sergeant's guard
took them into the woods, and with
some touch of pity offered to let them
run the gauntlet, Indian fashion. The
other man accepted this slight chance
of escape, but was shot as he ran.
C0pleston refused to move, and was
killed where he sat on the ground.

me by this strange visitor. Ashe I'm.

fading away. l was, OF course, strong

tired to my bunk. The next morning
told the mess of the circumstance,
and was of course laughed at.
Three weeks afterward fresh pris.
oners were brought in from the Ar
my of Viryinia, who, wit b other news
told of Copleston's death, just as had
already heard of it from himself.
The men of the mess no longer
laughed at my story.

Cx0bAOus t1sCy
are still the most thorough and search
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses OF one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
OrOus health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of century, and.
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are SO
composed that obstructions within
their range can rarely Withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
OF human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and bes. phystc for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inhamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
1t from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel' nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm. can arise
from their use in any quantity.
