MISCELLANEOUS.
A Parable.


In little log church in the state OF Virginia
some negroes had gathered to worship the lord,
And amer the service they had class meeting
That each for the Master might utter word
Their leader exhorted and spoke ofthe warfare
Which christians should wage against error al
And an!:hed by asking the following question:;
which way is your musket a-p'intin to-day
One after another they gave their experience;
Some brothers were happy, some lukeWarin OF
one saw his way clear to the portals of glory,
Another had strayed like lamb from the iold'
At last Brother Barkis-a renegade member
And Satau's companion for many q day
Arose. cleared hts throat. though visibly nervous,
He folded his arms and proceeded W say;
Dear bruddcrs and sisters / once was O christian
] once was as happy os any one here -,
ht for de church like battle-scarred soldier.
And stood by her banners when traitors were
near"
Hold on dar" the leader cxctedly shouted
PLEASE answer de question axed you, say;
I've given you credit for all you o. den, sir
Which way is your musket a-pintil' to-day
| The democrats talk of the glory OF Hancock.
And boast Of the record of English as well;
i Then give them due honor, for Judas was loyh
| Till money was offered he took II aud fell.
would Iiken their boast 10 the bossi OF old Barkis
And then. with the class leader honestly say,
Hold oh dar, my bruddcr, dat isn't oe questlom-
| Which way Is their muskets a.p'intin to-daY'
Shall men who are training with brigodier generals
| Who fought 10 destroy our national flag,
Aud rise from the seats In the forty congress
| To eulpgizc traitors like Davis and Bragg2
Shall men who bow down in confederate caucus,
| And worship the masters they humbly obey,
Shall they rule the nation by Washington founded
| (which way is their muskcts a-pintn' to-day 7
Tho question, my friends, Is Of vital importance,
/ The nation is waiting In anxious suspense;
Each voter can WELD political musket-
Then WELD II, | ask in your country's defense
The issue before us s cleur and unclouded,
Shall the nation be ruled by the blue or the gray

= Battle for Life ut Clear Lake Horrible
Struggle to Save Drowning Man.
marty of five deer-huncrs and campers.out
passed through Lakcport last Friday, on their
way to Blue lakes, consisting Of Messrs NJ. W.
Muller, w. w. Burton, Louis Lowe, 1r, q. Z.
Jeghers and Frank Gassaway Derrick Dodd,
the hunorist), all Of San Francisco While
enjoying swim in the lake at Captain
Bundy's bath-house one Of the party, Mr.. Mul-
Ter tsecretary OF the Half Moon Bay colony,
was taken with sudden cramp when
sorne distance from shore aud shouted
for assistance. Mcssrs. Burton and Glass;
away ut once swan to the rescue. Bur
ton, who first reached Muller, was seized
by the latter, n large, powerful man. and only
after n desperate struggle succeeded in escap-
ing from the grasp OF the drowning man, who
was thoroughly demoralized and unable to as
sist in his own rescue, by diving until tue other
was compelled TO loosen his hold. As Burton
came TO tho surface much exhausted Gasssway
took up the struggle to keep Muller, who also
rose afloat. While being supported toward
the shore for few yards the latter again lost
his presence of mind and caught Mr.. Il, by the
throat After what almost proved death
struggle for both parties Gassaway in
turn managed to dive to the bottom
with his incumbrance, and hung to
the weeds until Muller again loosened his
| hold and rose to the surface. By this time the
latter had sufficiently lost consciousness to
cease his struggling aud Immediately sank for
| the third time As no went down Gassaway
| reappeared, aud although the latter was bleed
ing at the nose and mouth from the pressure
of the water, he at once dived at the spot in
| dicated by Mr.. Burton and succeeded in bring
| ing Muller once more 10 the surface, where
| he was supported either side by his
almost equally exhausted friends until tho
timely arrival of Mr.. Lowe with life pre-
server and Mr.. Jcghcrs with a boat prevented
a fatal ending to one of the most desperate
struggles for life ever occurring in thcs'
waters. We congratulate Mr.. Muller both o,
his escape and the possession of some very de
termined friends.-[Lake County (Cal.) Bee

II seems that the people -hould always
give preference in business to those men
they have known in years gone by, aud
who have proven themselves in long
course Of dealing between man and man,
reliable. liberal aud honest. The people
OF Claiborne have perhaps known Hervry
Drake longer than any onther business
man in North Louisiana. He aud his
brother Abn"r. are both we'll known
throughout all thi. section of country. The
firm Of II. d W. A. Drake, is now well sup
piled with everything that may be needed
BY the people. Iu the future rs in the past,
they Aim to sell ~ low ~ po-sibl-, and to
give the top of the market for cotton.
When in Minden, let the Claiborne people
give them call
