TORPID LIVER
I Ih known by these marked peculiarities:
’ I 1. A feeling of weariness and pains in the
. limbs.
2. Bad breath, bad taste in the mouth,
and furred tongue.
3. Constipation, with occasional attacks
of diarrhoea.
4. Headache, in the front of the head;
nausea, dizziness, and yellowness of
skin.
5. Heartburn, loss of appetite.
0. Distent ion of the stomach and bowels
by wind.
7, Depression of spirits, and great melan
choly, with lassitude and a disposition
to leave everything for to-morrow.
A natural flow of Bile from the Liver
is essential to good health. When this
! is obstructed it results in
BILIOUSNESS,
which, if neglected, soon leads to serious
diseases. Simmons Liver Regulator exerts
a most felicitous influence over every kind
of biliousness. It restores the Liver to
proper working order, regulates the secre
tion of bile and puts the digestive organs
in such condition that they can dotheir
best work. After taking this medicine no
one will say, “I am bilious.’*
“I have been subject to severe spells of Con
gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of
taking from 15 to 20 grains of calomel which gen
erally laid me up for three or four days. Lately I
have been taking Simmons Liver Regulator,
which gave me relief without any interruption to
business.”—J. Hugg, Middleport, Ohio.

CoI-Umj Text, Matt, vi, 21—Memorize
Viescs 2 -22—Comment by Rev. William
[Fr :i Los.-.on Helper Quarterly, by permission
of 11. S. Hoffman, Philadelphia, publisher.]
Notes.—Came, i. e., out of the company
around. Mark says, running: One, Luke
says ruler, or member of the Sanhedrim.
Master, or teacher. Enter into life, be saved
from death and have everlasting life. Keep, '
obey or live according to. Honor, this is l
more than to obey, and no one word will de
fine it. Reverence is perhaps the best.
Hardly, or. it is; hard for. A rich man, one
that trusts in riches. Exceedingly, very
much. Then, in that case, or, if that is so.
This, i. e., that rich men can be saved. Im
possible; possible, i e., men cannot do this,
but God .-an.
\ . I>>. Mark and Luke supply two very in
teresting features of this case. From one
wo learn that he was a ruler, i. e., a member
of th Sanhedrim. From the other we learn
that he came running. He was in earnest,
and not afraid to have it known that he was.
Ho was not satisfied with what the doctors
of tho law taught concerning this great
question, lie felt, be was sure, there was
■ •. :hing more. But what was it? Whore
sh'. .1 find tho one who could lift tin
veil .m 11 »t in tho light? It would seem from
the n r.aL-e that ho bad been following
Jesus : . z. tiy, or without making himself
known, lie wanted to hear what this great
teach r wool I say about it. And now, os
I: • licr.’-s bis last words, he could restrain
himself no longer. He came running to
Jesus, with the great question, “Good Mas
ter ! what must I do that I may have eternal
life?"’ or. “inherit eternal life?”
V. 17. Before answering his question our
Lord, gently yet pointedly, rebukes him f«?r
th • use * f the title by which ho addressed
him. V.’hy did he use it? Ho did not mean
it. IL? did not moan to say that ho (Jesus)
was tho good. For that title belongs only to
ono—or to God. And, as an unmeaning com
pliment, he could not receive it. Now this
docs not mean that Jesus declined a title be
longing only to God; but that tho young
ruler himself did not mean to intimate that
it so belonged to him. And therefore he
could not receive it from him. Now, in our
Lord’s answer to*tho young ruler’s question,
wo must observe that be answered from bis
standpoint. Ho occupied the ground on
which he stood. His question was, “What
shall I do that I may have, or inherit, eternal
lifef’ Ho would have it as the result of his
own doings. Ho proposed to work for it. He
wanted to have it, as of debt, as a working
man receives his wages. And so the master
replies to him, “Keep tho commandments.”
He did not propose the difficulties of the
case. He would have him ascertain these for
himself. Ho would have him find out f< r
himself that obedience to the law, as the
price of eternal life, was a chain of many
links, and if one of these was broken tho
chain itself was worthless. It offered no
connection between the man and tho object
he had in view. But the young ruler did 1
not see this. And so
V. 18-20. When he beard the Lord’s an- |
swer ho at once asked which of the coni- ,
mandments ho meant. And in answer the
Lord cited the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth
and fifth, while Mark adds the tenth. Now
all these were of tho second table of the law.
Not a word is said about those of the first
table. The young man’s relation to God
seams to have been entirely left out of the
question. Why was this? And there seems
to ba no doubt about tho answer. For it is
manifest that our Lord meant to show how
utterly hopeless his case was, even on his
own chosen ground. For, if ho proposed to
be saved by tho works of flic law, or to enter
mto life because of obedience to the law, it
must bo very clear that he had obeyed the
law. Now, if it wen* a question of obedience
toman’s law —i. e., if it concerned tho out
ward act alone—it would bo very easily set
tled. But if that “law is spiritual;” if the
lustful thought is adultery and tho angry
thought is murder, then tho ease is a very
different one.
The young ruler proposed to win eternal
life by tho deeds of tho law. Now tho sum
ming up of the second table of the law is,
‘•Thou shall lovothy neighbor as thyself.”
II ? said he did. And Jesus replied in effect,
“If you do it is very easy to prove it. You
would not hesitate topart with anything you
have to relievo your own wants. Now why
should you hesitate to relieve the necessities
of your neighbor? You would not if you
loved him as you do yourself. Now, there
fore, go and do it, and provo your claim is
true. This was tho simple issue; and ono
more clearly defined could not well be pre
sented. And is that all? No. For that
•night’spring from a motive utterly inad
inissablo. And so tho Master adds, “and
come and follow me.”
V. 22. How true to tho life this is. How
clear tho revelation it makes of the ruling
power in this young ruler's heart. Doubt
less ho was attracted by tho Master’s teach
ing; but the glitter of bis gold had a brighter
luster in his eyes! Doubtless he was con
cerned for his eternal life. But clearly, tho
present had for him tho greater attraction.
Ho was in “tho valley of decision,” and
quietly yielded to tho power of the present
and the .seen! “He turned an<l went away,
for he had great posses-sions." The present
and tho eternal life were weighed against
each other, and the beam went down on tho
side of tho present. Poor young man!
V. 23,21. It is not hard to imagine tho deep
compassion that moved in the Master’s
breast, as ho turned to his disciples and spoke
these words. Doubtless they had seen aud '
heard all that bad passed; and he would |
shield them now from any wrong impres
sions the young ruler’s example might make
upon thorn. And if wo ask for tho reason
underlying the declaration of the Master—or
why it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of God—there Seems to be two rea-
1. Riches beget a sense of power in tho
holder of them. Therefore the rich man is
commonly puffed up with a sense of his im
portance. He can do anything; and his pride
erects itself even against God.
2. Riches become an object of trust to their
possessor. They seem to break down tho
, simplicity of childlike faith in God. How
' can ho pray, “Give us this day our daily
bread,’’ when he knows that his cheek is good
in bank and his credit high on exchange? 1
And so ho learns to “trust in riches,” as tho
ultimate good in life. How can he enter the
kingdom?
V. 25, 26. Tho disciples were beyond meas
ure astonished. And to their question, who
then can be saved? Jesus gave the answer,
“With men this is impossible, but with God
ail things are possible.” He alone can change
the Ueart and bind the affections around him
self as manifested in the finished work of
Jesus. For when that is seen—i. c., when his
love takes the heart captive—the affections
drop off from earthly things an 1 twine
l! 'inselves .round him, who reel emed us
from this ] resent evil world, with his own
precious blood.

I clever or accomodating set to be
,' found anywhere. The people of
the county can deal with them with
the assurance that they will be well
treated and get as much, and of as
good quality, for their money as can
be had anywhere.
A Quick Run.
Will Stokes, a young darkey, who
shines shoes at Nash’s barber shop,
succeeded in accomplishing a diffi
cult feat yesterday.
A wager was made that Stokes
could run from the barber shop, at
No. 19 West Alabama street, to
temple and back again, in-
I sidF of fifteen minutes.
J A’hc barber shop is just a few
! doors from the corner of Broad and
Alabama, while the negro church
is on the corner of (’lark and Fr; -
zier. Several interested parties had
walked the route between the places
and, as nearly as the distance could
be estimated, the run there and
back not less than two miles ar.d
a half, and was estimated by son e
to be considerably furthur.

Bill Nye's Cow.
Bill Nyc advertises his cow for
sale. “Owing to ill-health, 1 will
sell at my residence in township 29,
range 18, west, according to Govern
ment survey, one plushed raspberry
colored cow, aged 8 years. She is a
good milkster and not afraid of cars
—or anything else. She is a cow
of undaunted courage, and gives
milk frequently. To a man who
does not fear death in anv form
she woe Ibe a great boon. She is
liicf attached to lierSbum. at
present, by means of a trace chain,
but she-will lie sold to any one who
will agree to treat her right. She
is one-fourth short-horn and three
fourths hyena, I will also throw in
a double-barreled shotgun, which
goes with her. Ln Mav she gener
ally goes away somewhere for a
week or two, and returns with a tall,
red calf, with long, wabby legs.
Her name is Rose, and I prefer to
sell her to a non-resident.
Another man 1 see frequently in
M ashington, says a correspondent,
is 75 years old but he carries him
self quite as straight as any man of
30, and he walks with a spring like
that of a boy. He sits straight up
in the car, and his white hair and
show-white beard shine out under a
brown derby hat. His eyes are of
the bluest, and his thin rosy face
shines with culture, and h? looks
like a nobleman. He is uniformly
polite to all, and never sits while a
lady is standing, even though the
; lady be in her teens. I have seen
him help lame men into the cars,
, and he jumps to the assistance of
the weakly before any one notices
their distress. Still, there is prob
ably not a greater aristocrat in the
country than he, and his name is
Joseph E. Johnson, the great Con
federate general.
Vigor and Vitality
Are quickly given to every part of
the body by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
I hat tired feeling is entirely over
come. The blood is purified, enrich
ed, and vitalized, and carries health
instead of disease to every organ,
the stomach is toned and strength
ened, the appetite restored. The
kidneys and liver roused and invig
orated. The brain is refreshed, the
mind made clear and ready for
work. Try it.
The brace of dueling pis
tils which were used at the famous
Cash-Shannon meeting, when Col.
Shannon was killed, were recently
exhibited in a Sumter, S. C., bar
room. They are owned by Colonel
E. U . Morse, and have been used
in a dozen or more duels.
The ladies are invited to call at
J. S. (leghorn & Co’s and get one
of those French Imported Patterns,
with printed directions, to cut their
new dress by, if they want the cor
rect style.
Another new engine arrived at
Chattanooga last week for the use
of the C. R. <fc C. railroad. This
makes two at that place ready for
use.
