Trip Henry Clay Cut Short

he decided to retire permanently from
public life said Judge Hunt. "But
it seemed to him that he should make
a sort of farewell tour, visiting his
friends in the old Wing states, thank.
ing them for their support.
We'll, he took that farewell tour.
and among other places that he visit
ed was New Orleans. He had warm
Wing friend there in Charles M. Con-
rad, who afterwards became Fillmore's
secretary of war. Mr.. Conrad's planta.
ton home was not far from that OF
Gen. Zachary Taylor, who succeeded
Polk in the Whit House. To his home
Mr.. Conrad invited Mr.. Clay to spend
a few days, and, perhaps as added in
ducements to Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Conrad
stated that he expected his daughter
back in a few days and that Mr.. Clay
would also have opportunity to meet
one of his colleagues in the senate,
Judge Poindexter of Mississippi.
But no sooner had he mentioned
Judge Poindexter's name than he real
lied that the judge and Mr.. Clay were
not friends. They looked alike and
had been friends. but come political
quarrel had parted them. Mr.. Clay,
seeing Mr.. Conrad's embarrassment
came CALAMITY to the rescue. IT
would give me the greatest possible
pleasure to meet Judge Poindexter in
your home,' he said, then and there
accepting Mr.. Conrad's invitation.
"A few days after Mr.. Clay's arrival
at the Conrad plantation, the bride
with her husband, returned and upon
the same steamboat with them came
Judge Poindexter. Mr.. Clay was intro
duced to the bride. He looked first at
her and then at her mother. Charm
ing bride as you are,' he said, as he
made profound bow, what can say
to you in the presence of such moth
er as you have?' Then he added, as
he glanced in the direction of his old
enemy: And I sincerely congratulate
you that you have been SO fortunate
to have as a travelling companion fol-
a brief distance one of the grandest
intellects, and one of the most charm
ing gentlemen / have ever met from
the south-Judge Poindexter.'
There was nothing for the judge to
do after that but melt, which he die
with surprising promptness, and in 9
little while the two men become sc
intimate that they were joking with
each other
"A few evenings later Mr.. Clay be
gan expatiating upon the beauty of q
domestic life such as that which Mr.
Conrad enjoyed, adding that he
thought it was the duty and privilege
of every man who had a charming
home to spend all the time his public
and professional duties would permit
with his family.
why, you old scoundrel.' ex
claimed the Judge, you come dowr
here to preach domesticity to us, anG
you haven't seen your own home OF
family for six months. Go practice
what you preach
Mr. Clay thought a moment.
"'You have me there, SENATOR h<
said slowly, you have me there, and
declare I believe I'll accept your ad
vice, although really have been on {
political mission. Yes, I'll start home
day after tomorrow
And he did," ended Judge Hunt.

Two modern statements of the doc

would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the
Congregationalist.
One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl

The elect are whatsoever will: the
non-elect are whosoever won't"
Good as this is, there is another ex-
PLANTATION that is star of equas mag
nitude. It was made by colorad di-

he is always voting for man; and the

Then the man himself votes, and that

LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

about seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. It irritated me
SO that l began to scratch it and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. / lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
l would have to scratch it until / had
the blood running down into my shoe.
simply cannot describe my suffer
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indescrib-
able on paper and one has to expe-
rience it to know what it is.
II tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for a little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad if not worse. l had given uD
hope of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for little
while I began to see change, and
after taking dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day was born. Now after lapse of
six months with no signs of a recur-
renee feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. l shall always recommend
them to my friends. w. H. White,
