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.

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. i Take!UeNews.s I'inadvance. 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. E. C. 11. 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. Wilson Wheeler. Last night I was er play in wid do little Wheelers. We had played “hide and whoop” and “clublist” and “William Trimbletoe,” and the chiluns had named m 3 “blackbird” an’ da had rode me most down, lease when da had to come home da all want to come home on de blackbird and 1 have to go and fetch ’em.

I)at fellow say he want to number Arp as one of its friends for the good work it is doing, and goes on to tell what de national encampment will do, and how congress will pass de : “arrears bill” and dem dat wore de - blue will get millions out of it, ■ while deni dat wore de gray will 1 have to help pay it and won’t get iiinvof dem millions, and William ' says !•'.

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.

Cleve land won't let de south suffer, but it's awful hard to be erbused all de time, lint 1 believe our time is coin tn, then we’ll rejoice with exceedin great joy. And we got up er game of “Alollie, Mollie Bright” wid de ! little Wheelers and Airs. Wheeler played do part of de “Old Red j Witch on de road,” and it was er heap of fun to de chiluns to see da j ma try to catch ’em, and da would dodge and get away and laugh, and Airs.
