'* "Three months ago, I took a violent cold which resulted in an attack of acute bronchitis. I put myself under medical treatment, and at the end of two months was no better. I found it very difficult to preach, |3\ and concluded to try Ayer's Cherry 1 Pectoral. The first bottle gave me great relief; the second, -w hich I am now taking, has relieved me almost entirely of all unpleasant symptoms, and I feel sure that one or two bottles more will effect a permanent cure.

A Blind Jfcaa's DuaL It is doubtful if any theatre ever offered such volumes of romatic incident as the deck of the old-timo Mississippi steamer. In the old days before railroads traversed the continent in every direction, and the west was a wilderness, New Orleans was the Mecca of travelers, and the fleet ^ wave-born palaces of the inland sea carried thousands of pleasure-seekers to the south. It was then that life was a carousal, and men and women gave themselves up to most lavish eninvmenfs was ft custom. and courage an instinct. Men were as prone to brawls as the sparks to fly upwards. Conspicious among the J fierce and rollicking habitues of the steamers was Captain West, a noted duelist. One day he engaged in a controversy with a gentleman whom I he met on deck, whom he accused of stariDg at him impertinently. "Why do you look at me so intently?" demanded the captain. "I was not looking at you," calmly ! replied the stranger, his ejes meanwhile fixed in a stony glare upon the duelist's face. . "But you are, sir!" "I am not." The captain turned away, but a short time afterward he felt those stony eyes were again upon him and following all his movements with pitiless ferocity. ft became inex pressibly annoying, and the captain at last determined to make an end of < * (it. Stepping up to the stranger, he inquired, with suppressed passion: "Can you fight as well as look?" "Perhaps so. I never tried it. Place me, however, in position, and |k I will do my best" "The singular conduct of the stranger had by this time attracted universal attention, and whispered conferences regarding his remarkable appearance agitated lit tie groups of persons all over the boat In a short time, however, the vessel rounded to at a landing for wood, and then the parties to the impromptu duel went ashore. The stranger was led off by a Negro servant, who seemingly ^ - picked his way. Indeed, from the intense interest he was manifesting in the encounter, the colored servant was apparently more deeply interested in the affair than his master. But the time allotted for preliminries I was brief, and the men were speedild put in position, and pistols placed in their hands. (The word was given, and two ringing reports flashed out on the Caotain West fell pierced to f the heart. The stranger stood erect, calm and dignified. Hig second rushed up to him: "Are you hurt, sir?'' "No; how is it with my antagonist?" "Can't you see? You have hilled | him." "No; I am unable to see." "Ytu can't see?" "No; I am blind." And he was. The tragedy was a nine-day's wonder, and all sorts of rumors were rife as to the identity of the fatal stranger. But who he was t and whither ho went was a mysteiy Dever solved. The circumstance went to make up an incident in the ^ dark and bloody memories which made famous the olden time. 4 THEIR ROOM V Our $.150 Shirt "V : Our $J I Jour 20o.

To the Editor of the Dispatch. Acl I take great pleasure in writing sioi about our protracted meeting at pre | Union church. It began on the 9th rig : of August aDd lasted until the 17tb. dor i It seemed that our people came at r ! the very beginning of the meeting Mr I with full purpose of heart to accom- Qu ! plish that great end of baviDg a R?1 blessing richly poured out upon Gei J them. They hungered and thirsted sue I after a blessing, and in the word of sav | God we have the promise that he Re' ! that hurgereth after righteousness dot | shall be filled; thar.kGod! we were 1 | filled with the grace of God in our Mr souls. Give me the religion that par will go down into the heait and a< r purge it of all hatred, malice, envy, fro] and evil doiDg; and then we will tba ' - i 0 r j take pleasure in working ior desus | p , I and the church. fr01 i I fear one of the greatest draw urn backs in the church today is, there i is too much religion in the head and vic< ! not enough in the heart. I pray Xhi | that the Lord may give us all more tak i heartfelt religion. A religion not pre j only to live by but such a one as Jer | will abundantly bless us at the try- wir j ing hour of death. 1 Our faithful pastor, Rev. J. D. fr0i !
