Far ,1 > • !•; (■ r■ > . beyond the fogged tops of an alpine mountain, whose lofty head is bathed in the chilly winds and wearing the sleety robe of winter, lies our only hope, that will cause us to stand as a glittering gf.tr in the bright castles of fame.

Slowly but surely she moves gallantly ‘toward the la'Vie' that shines as bright to us as a silvery .star from the Vault of J ~l i,W l> ■ '>< heaven, to guide the weary wanderer up on his way. Our animating spirits cling to that fond tie of hope, and we can look forward to noble deeds in a bright be yond. But the niost precious part of our lives have passed and are numbered with days, weeks and months of the long ago.

I, who according to Buckeye’s own account, only weigh 95 pounds,have to take up my pen and boldly inform this masculine braggadocio who calls himself a man; that lam ready for him. If I am of such an insignificant weight I dont have to call on Chattanooga- for help to dght him, as it is n well known fact that Buckeye has done so. Ah!

If you don’t mhid you will never be more than the “little fish” that you have such a “holy horror” of being compared to. Ah, Buckeye, be V-■ * * a man; don’t make yourself such a spu rious imitation. Now if I had seen Buckeye at the fish ing party l never Would have thought of alluding to him as a “little fish,” for lit tie fish always grow to he big ones, and I don’t think Buckeye ever will. Bav, Buckeye, how long have you known the meaning of blue stocking ? just since the worthy gentleman of Chat tanooga vviote the “answer to Stareye” for you ? Would-be blue stocking, in deed ! Well, 1 would rather try to he “Fis ills full To Hi!' Rißbl, Fearless Agairtsl Use s'wsss’.” something and fail, than to ; try to. he nothing and meet with magnificent suc cess. Buckeye anddils “sub.” can* af ford .to call me a would-be blue stocking, 1 .4 , or rat her that.! want.to write for the pub lic and can't, for they ha re only to “put pen to paper and something will come of it”—leastways it will prove to the paper as Mr.’ Weller’s*effi inbr did to him, i. c., “rather fillin'.” Buckeye sights mo to the Iffth chapter of Gorinthians, winch is as much as to say “S.tareye, thou rogardcst not. tiptli, vaunteth thyself-ahd art puffed up;” which must he so if one of the lords of creation can stoop sq.far below Ids (digni ty as to Veil a little hit of I'o ippuhds of effiminaey so. Even I know better than to think his lordship would stoop so low without great cause. Do you think,Mr. Editor, that Buckeye would lash a poor hut self reliant y retch who has had pre sumption enough to (limbuip to , news papeidom without his royal aid or per mission ? No, my dear Mr. Editor, a nian never stoops Vo aiT can ness.

In return for Buckeye’s kindness to me, 1 will sight him to the second chapter of II Fetor, and would have him note verse;; 1,7, 8, ff, 10,12, Iff, and to particularly notice and take upon himself the 16th verse; and would have all the members of the Methodist church who danced at the picnic to care fully read the 20, 21, and 22 verses of thy same chapter. i see that Buckeye has not forgotten the shape of the dunce cap which he has doubtless worn so often in days a gone. lam satisfied that lie lias worn it from the exactness of his As I did not Wildwood’s last pienic, the cap” described by Buckeye was more appropriately plac ed upon his own cranium, and with dunce marked on every feature lie did the honors of the occasion in the way of playing fool, far better than Stnreyc could have owe them. Now Mr. Editor, I will close by say ing la* done with this thing ; I will not conscend to answer any more fee ble attempts from General Buckeye nor 1 ‘ . . n 11 < ! his aid dc camps.. ’ iVoeld hot have done so this time, but I wanted to show them that I am not going through the world like a picked chicken, afrajd of every ego tistical, moustached walking coat tail who may tfike it in his gentlemanly head to run afoul of me.

They will demand, too, that full and fair expression shadl he given to the bal lot after it has been cast without being counted out by infamous returning boards or the decrees of eleetorial com missions. These two things go hand in hand. Free elections &nd full force to the popular will, as determined thereby, will constitute the haDlq.ci’y jiv r xt campaign. All minor issues will have to give way.
