TORPID LIVER
Is known by these marked peculiarities:
1. A feeling of weariness and pains-in tho
limbs.
2. Pad breath, bad taste In the mouth,
and furr«*d tongue.
3. Constipation, with occasional attacks
of diarrhoea.
4. Headache, in the front of iho head;
nausea, dizziness, and yellowness of
skin.
5. Heartburn, loss of appetite.
6. Distention of the stomach and bowels
by wind.
7. Depression of spirits, and groat melan
choly, with lassitude and a disposition
to leave everything for to-morrow.
A natural (low of liiie from tho Liver
Is essential to good health. When this
is obstructed it results iu
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 Inver to
proper working order, regulates the secre
tion of bile and puts the digestive organs
In such condition that they can do their
best work. After taking this medicine no
i one will say, ‘T am bilious.”
"I hare been subject to severe spells of Con*
gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of
j taking from 15 to 20 grains of calomel which gen
erally bid me up for three or four days. Lately I
j have been taking Simmons Liver Regulator,
which gave me relief without any interruption to
I business." —J. Hugg, Middlcport, Ohio. «

V. 1-3. The incidents of this lesson stand
alone i:i its impressiveness; or rather in tho ,
character of its impressiveness. It is a singu- j
lnr l l‘::ding <>f Cod’s foreordained purposes, |
with man’s perfect freedom of action—by j
which those purposes were to be carried out. !
J' vti", as the true Messiah, had come to the 1
! people to whom he was promised. All tho ;
j great; works ascribed to the Messiah by their :
prophets, had been wrought by him. Even ;
tho soldiers were constrained to say, “Never j
man spake ns this man!” And now ns no !
drew nigh to Jerusalem and knew that he i
i was nearing tho cross at every stop thither,
j he also knew that his triumphal entry into
j tho city must then bo made; even as it was
foretold. “All things were ready.” Tlio ap
: pointed time had como. The people Mere
thronging in great multitulcs about him.
! Not knowing why they did it, the owners of
the ass had tied her before his door, and
j there she stood, awaiting tho messengers
I of tho master, coming to claim her for his
j service. And so he paused at Bethphage, to
| make the needed preparations. And so ho
sent forward two of his disciples to tho vil
j lago over against them. It does not seem
1 that ho told them for what purpose the ass
I and her colt were to bo brought. He did so
i in the case, of the fish to be caught for tho
tribute money. Matt, xvii, 27. lie did so in
tho case of the two disciples sent to prepare
j for the Passover, Mark xiv, 13. But ho did :
I not do so in this case. Ho seems to
I havo sent for tho ass without telling them
! why tho animal was needed. There was
to be no preparation for their playing a part.
No hinting to them what the prophet had
said. No telling them what they would bo j
expected to do. Tbe time hail come. Tho
occasion would bo silently brought
before them, and tho rest would lx? as
tho spirit moved them to act. And in this
direction theso tilings are very clear, i. 0.:
1. The Lord’s knowledge of coming events.
2. Some intimations of power.
V. 4. This, manifestly, refers to the
Saviour’s knowledge of wliat was to bo done, j
n:al bis pur; ose in doing it, and not at all to 1
tho disciple ' They did what he told them
to do without, at that time, having anything
except that ho told them to do it. The pur
poso of it all lay in his own mind alone. He
knew what was written. He knew whj it
was written. Ho knew that the t'jne was
como, and that this proof of his Messioship
was to bo furnished against themselves by
tho people to whom he came. And there
fore, all this was done.
V. 5, 0. This prophesy is in Zaeh. ix, 0.
Nothing could be plainer. Tho time of tho
coming kingdom had come. Their king him
self had como, and tho shouts of the multi
tude, ns they proclaimed his coming, rent tho
air. Would they receive their king! It was
the crisis of Jerusalem’s destiny. Who can
say that this was not a real thing? That this
triumphal entry into Jerusalem did not mean
the setting up of the kingdom then and there,
if tho nation had receive* 1 its king.
V. 7-0. And hero commences the disciples’
l>art, with that of the multitude. Thus far
Jesus had acted alone, and now tho time for
their action had como. We can see the act
ing of the process. Every line of the record
adds some new feature to the picture. See!
The disciples have returned with the ass and
her colt! What shall they do with them! A
sudden impulse seems to seize them. They
take their loose, flowing, outside garments
I and lay them on the untrained colt. Rever
ently they approach their Lord, and under
his gently constraining power “set him
thereon!” There he sits, just as tlio prophet >
foretold—but with no word spoken by him—
Zion’s king with his face toward Zion’s capi- j
tal. Sudden and uulookcd for as the lire of
the Lord that fell on Elijah’s sacrifice, a
strong impulse seized the great multitude, as |
they t #>k up the line of march toward
Jerusalem. It was composed of two sections
—those that? went before ami tlioso that fol
lowed after with Jesus in the midst. Tho
march begins. From those nearest tho per
son of the Lord, a shout, as of triumph goes
up. Liston! Why it is the strain of their
old prophets—a portion of the Great Hallel
or song of praise—an acknowledged tribute
to the Messiah. See Ps. cxviii, 25, 2(5. The
song passes from man to man; from those in
the rear tho gladsome strain rolls on: “Ho
sanna to the Son of David! Blessed be he
that comoth in the name of the Lord! lli>
! sauna in the highest!” Those that went be
fore caught up the strain, and the air was
Ailed with its melody as the procession
swept on toward Jerusalem.
V. 10, 11. Nothing could be more natural
than this. Os course, “the daughter of
Zion” would ask: “Who is this?” And there
could be no other answer than that which tho
multitude gave.
V. 12, 13. This is the second of tho two
cleansings of the temple by our Lord. Tho
]X>rtion of tho temple referred to here was
the court of the Gentiles, into which alohe
such things as are hero named could be j
taken. And because many Jews came from !
foreign lands, they would need to change their j
money into the shekel of the sanctuary. Ex
odus xiii, 13. But not even merchandise—
which is honest trade—can be tolerated in
i the house of God. But here if had degen
! erated into lawless gain. And in each case
it was the silent exercise of his authority as
the son of man that made them go unresist
ingly out when the hopt*. of their unlawful
gain was thus swept away.
Y. 14. How striking the contrasts of this
: wonderful day! The solemn grandeur of the
triumphal entry into Jerusalem; his indig
nant driving the traders from the temple,
and the tender sympathy for the afflicted as
| they presented themselves before him; how :
l>eautiful the record is! How full of power j
; is this wondrous life!
V. 15,16. Why were tbe chief priests and ,
scribes soro displeased? Clearly for two rea
sons:
1. Tho wonderful works of Jesus; and
2. Tho children’s tribute to his Messiah*
ip. Tin would not believe thomseh •*,
id they ore angry v. L- a others believed.

The Christian Life.
“ If ye then be riacn with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sittetii on the right
hand of God.” Col. iii:3.
The Bible informs us that this is
not our home, but beyond this land
of sin and sorrow, toiling, sowing
and reaping there is a place called
heaven ; a home for the weary, worn
and tossed ones, where, when the j
battle of life is over they can meet I
together again and rejoice with all
the redeemed in the spirit land
above. Who is it that does not de
; sire to enter in through those pear
ly gates into the many mansioned
| dwelling that our Savior hlis gone
| to prepare for His bride—thechurch.
! We read that eye hath not seen nor
; ear heard, neither have entered in
|to the heart of man the things
which God hath prepared for those
that love him. We can but catch
j a faint glimpse of that celestial
city. Though John, the revelator,
; who tolls us that the gates are of 1
pearl and the walls and foundation \
j are of jasper, and all kinds of pre
cious stones, and the streets are alii
1 paved with pure gold like transpa-1
! rent, glass, and out from under the |
throne of God flows the pure crys
tal waters of life, and the beautiful
tree of life on either side of it bears
twelve varieties of fruit and ripens
her fruit every month, and there is
no night there, no darkness. There
is no sickness, no dying, no parting
with loved ones ;no more seeking
or sighing but all is radient with
light, joy, peace and love.
And these are the blessings that
our heavenly Father has promised
! to nil those that love him and keep
His commandments; and He has
prepared a road that leads to that
citv, and we will not fail to reach
iitif we follow His directions. But
ive must be prepared by having our
feet shod with the gospel of peace.
Tlio apostle Paul says: “If ye
J then be riseh with Christ, seek those
things which are above.” Then in
! order to seek those tilings that God
lias promised us it is necessary
that we be risen with Christ. But
some may ask, how are we risen
with Him? Let us throw aside all
of our prejudices and human theo
ries, and take down the old family
Bible and make an investigation
i and see if we can find anything
that Christ or the Apostles ever
taught concerning this most im
portant subject. Our Savior, before
bis crusifixion, taught Nicodemus
that it was necessary for man to be
born again in order to enter into
His kingdom. He says: “Except a
man lie born of water and of the
spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.” “That which is
born of flesh is flesh and that which
is born of the spirit, is spirit.” As
much as to sav, a birth of the flesh
lias been necessary in order to in
troduce us into the natural king
dom of man, so is the birth of wa-
I ter and spirit, to introduce us into
| the spiritual kingdom or church of
| God. Let us turn to Rom. vi:3-5
and find out what process it takes
to constitute this new .birth that
our Savior taught, and see if His
words ever came to pass. “Know j
ye not that so many of us as were
baptised into bis death: therefore
we are buried with him by baptism
into death that like as 1 hrist was |
raised up by the glorvof the lather, ■
even so we also should walk in new- j
ness of life,”
My dear reader, you who imag-j
inc vou have entered this spiritual j
kingdom of Christ by either!
sprinkling or pouring, I call your
attention to this important subject.
Remember your Savior has said:
“Except a man be born of water
j and of the spirit, he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God.” And
remember that God is no respector
of persons. What lie requires of
one he requires of all.
The apostle Paul teaches us there
is but one kingdom, or one church,
one spirit, one faith, one baptism.
We should be consistent in all
things pertaining to spiritual as
; well as natural things. We ' all
j know very well if there had
| never been a true, genuine silver
; dollar made there never could have
been so many counterfeit dollars.
!So if there nev'er had have been a
j true, genuine church established
i there never would have been so ma
ny couirerfeit churches, if there
never had have been a true genuine I
baptism, there never could have been j
so many counterfeit baptisms. Paul ]
was told by Ananias to arise, be I
baptised and wash away his sins, j
calling on the name of the Lord, !
Acts, xxii:lC>. If sprinkling or
pouring would have been the way
of baptising, it would not have
t een necessary for him to have got
ten up; he could have been baptiz
ed where he was, sitting or lying,
' but it was necessary for him to
arise and go where their was water
and much water, for alterward, in
speaking of his conversion, he says
he was buried with Christ by bap
tism. He was then free from
all the sins which he had ever com
mitted, because he humbly obeyed
the voice of the Holy Spirit.
If we, like Paul, humbly submit
to the teachings of the holy Apos
tles we will lie risen with our Savior
and be prepared to seek those
things that are above where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God.
We should now seek after and grow
in spiritual wisdom and knowledge.
We should not always remain ehil
j dren, either in the natural or spir
! itual kingdom ; we should not be
like young robbins that sit in the
nest with their mouths open wait
ing for the old mother bird to bring
them a stray worm or bug, but we
must grow in order that our wings
may be plumed to fly away; and so
we may be able to drop a worm or
bug into other little mouths that
are waiting to receive it.

Teachers’ Institute.
Eiutok News:—We hear it sug
gested that the teachers of this
county should organize themselves j
into some sort of a convention, as
sociation or institute, as a means
of improving and fitting them for a
more effective service in the schools
of this county. Now, in order to
bring about something of this sort,
we would suggest that the county
commissioner be solicited to act as
superintendent, and that the coun
ty board of education aid him in
getting up plans, ways and means
by which this teachers’ institute
may by a success. In view of the
good that may be done in getting
up something of this nature, it is
pertinent to ask why? I see more
or less of the states and territories
of the United States have compul
sory laws, making it a duty tha'
each county shall organize and car
ry on these institutes for the sole
benefit of teachers, and that any
teacher failing to attend, shall, in
some instances have his license or
certificate revoked, in others he
must pay a fine. Our state does
not make any provision whatever
for normal schools or teachers’ in
stitutes, however, this need not hin
der us, nor discourage us, in this
great work. When we look around
and find that there are not more
than four or five long term schools
in the county, and also when we
see and know that the most of the
applicants for examination for
t i.achers’ certificates this year are
voting persons, and perhaps to a
great measure inexperienced, but
who, if were encouraged, would
probably choose teaching for a pro
fession and prepare themselves in
all those qualifications that it takes
i to make good and effective workers,
j We will say no more on this sub
| ject at present bat wait to see who
| will come to our rescue and try if
we can bring about a restoration or
revival of our institute of gone by
years. Respectfully,
W. J. Dcster,
Chattoogaville, Ga.
A recent date from Pocomoke,
Maryland says: Persons living near
here are considerably startled by a
genuine walking stove, belonging
to a farmer named Johnson. With
out any assistance whatever, the
stove moves around the room, often
turning upside down, and has fre
! quentlv set fire to the furniture in
the room. It has often been chain
ed down without any effect, and
, j the neighboring inhabitants who
i have witnessed the strange pro
j ceeding are firmly convinced it is
• | the result of wichcraft. This story
■j is vouched for by 100 people who
.! have seen it.
| Whew ! This like to have stove
l us up when we read it. It’s strange
■ j that nobody prevaricates this day
■ j and time.
Beautiful and True.
■ SELECTED.
! The external circumstances in
| which men are placed, the number
; and variety of their civil and so
cial privileges, the outward advan
tages of ranlc, birth or fortune, —
these are not the things which en
noble or depress us in the scale of
excellence. The monarch on his
throne, with prostrate millions
around him, may be little, mean,
despicable in the sight of the holy
and the good, while the poor slave,
in his humble hovel, or on his pallet
of straw, may possess a dignity
and moral grandeur which assert his
afilnity with heaven. There is a free
dom which is the end and glory of
man,the only freedom which thepen
of inspiration lias commended, and
which, from its very nature, is in
dependent of the decrees of kings!
or the mandates of States. It is
the freedom which God approves,
which Jesus bought by his blood,
and the Holy Spirit effectually!
seals by His grace—the liberty
wherewith Christ has made us free.
It consists essentially in the do
minion of rectitude, in the emanci
pation of the will from the power
of sin, the release of the effections
from the attractions of earth, the
exemption of the understanding,
from the deceits of prejudice and
error. It is a freedom which the
truth of God brings with it—a free
dom enjoyed by the martyr at the
stake, the slave in his chains, the
prisoner in his dungeon, as well as
the king upon his tiiron.o Inde
pendent of time or place, or the ac
cidents of fortune, it is the breath
of the boul. as regenerated and re
deemed-': and can be no *iu%r
torn from us than the atmosphere
of heaven can be restrained. “If
the Son shall make you free, you
shall be free indeed.”
The above, from the writings of
Thornwell, would make a good
speech. We commend it to the
boys as well worthy of being cu
out, preserved and memorized.

“Arp: William Arp,” says she, lease
it ain’t respectful to say
lliilf “Well, what’s de matter wid
Abater Arp?” says I. “Some fellow
up north or east or from some wher
dats editin er paper has called him
comrade and give him er little taffy
and William’s riled er bout it. I)at
fellow say he want to number Arp
as one of its friends for the good

Republic follows. Mr. Cleveland is
at de head of dis government of
ours and Mr. Judson Clements is in
congress and Alfred 11. C'olquit is
in de senate and he fought, bled
and died for the south, an,d so did
Gordon, and Major Bacon got up
supplies for Colquitt and Gordon to
fight wid and he’ll do it agin if nec
essary, so don’t you fret bout dese
things. Our business is to look
after dese little Wheelers of otirn,
and some day da may be presidents
or presidentesses like Mr. Cleveland
and Mrs. Cleveland; and Airs.
Wheeler heaved er sigh and says
she, “Wilson, you am right. Cleve

it's awful hard to be erbused all de

Airs. Wheeler is satisfied our boy
will lie a member of congress or
president, and de girls will be con

Peace and harmony prevails at our
house, and we are satisfied Cleve

the money in the treasury will be
judiciously expended, and de Grand
Army of the Republic will get er

and grow great and dem venomous
old Yankees will see de error of

Have good news this week. The
“old maids” were certainly elected
at the “leap year party.” Believe
: the old bachelors and widowers were
delighted too; for they had grown a
little timid about “popping the
question,” and were relieved wher.
the girls whispered words of love ill
their ears. Don’t censure them for
choking when they are talking on
so serious a subject, for I was em
barrassed, especially when I was
talking to the right one.
Wonder what Air. Buice B. and
