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. 6. Distention of the stomach and bowels by wind. 7. Depression of spirits, and great melan choly, with lassitude and a disposition i to leave everything for to-morrow. A natural flow of Bile from the Id ver Is essential to good health. When this Is obstructed it results in BILIOUSNESS, which, if neglected, soon loads to serious diseases. Simmons Liver Regulator exerts a most felicitous influence over every kind of biliousness. It restores tho 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 th is 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 I 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.

Tin re is no que .1 ion that the parabio her - ." iI y our Lord is tho reproduction of Isi.i.ih v, 1-7. For tho statement isalto gi ’.ll' • n.imiMLieU “Tho vineyard of the L'.r.l o>.' 11 us. s is the house of Israel, and tho of Judah his pleasant plant, Isaiah v, 7. And again we road, “Yet I had planted thee a i:> ble vino,” Jeremiah ii, 21. And wo can live;' each event described in this verse. j the planting took place at Ilorcb. R< 4 Exodus xix, 4-fl. Israel was chosen be:' >ro this. But their visible taking out from the nations took place then and there. Th-re the planting took place. And tho set ting of the hedge about I hem, what was this but the enactment of tho statutes an<l ordi nal.-' s shutting them in from the nations about them. And the wino press and tho , tower, what are these but corn] .'luted arrange ments fe-r their ellicicncy and safety as tho vineyard of the Lord. Now, there was a puipose in ail this. And that purpose was tho receiving of tho fruits of the vineyard. ’ And hero comes in the letting out to Ims biindinen and tho departure of the owner i .to another country as perfectly natural in cidents of the parable. And so Israel stands before us, let out to or put into the hands of | the rulers, who were appointed of (tod to con duet its affairs as really as husbandmen do those of a vineyard. V. 31-36. There can be no shadow of a , doubt that these servants represent the seers and the prophets sent in the Lord’s name to hold tho rulers to the faithful discharge of tho great trust put into their hands. From ! Ac s iii, 24, it seems that Samuel was the ii’/.- i, of the line. And from him the line sweeps onward unto John, who was tho la. t before tho son. And from the verses before us v.c learn: 1. God expects fruit from spiritual privi leges. 2. That ho holds men to account for them. 3. There is enmity in man’s heart against God. , V. 37,38. Tho ruling spirit of enmity within comes to a climax hero. Tho Son of tho Lord of tho vineyard is sent last of all, and him they cast out and kiil. Os course the doubt as to how he would be received aj>- ■ plies only to the earthly side of the parable. Tho owner of this vineyard did not know. But wo cannot cany this over to its spiritual side, or io tiiat which the parable represents. Hero all is clear in the certainly of knowl edge as to tho treatment bo would receive. In the councils of the Godhead he was “The lamb slain from tiio foundation- of tho world.” Rev. xii, 8. And as the shadows of the cross darlamed about him, he said: “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say i Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause camo I to this hour.” John xii, 27. And yet this certainty of the fact of his rejection and death at their hands did not affect t • the shadow of a hair tho voluntari ness of their action in rejecting and crucify ing him. “By wicked hands ye have cruci fied and slain” him, was the charge of tho apostle against them under the direct teach- ■ iugof the Spirit. And tho ess nee of their ■ wickedness was, “They hated me without a ; cause,'’ John xv, 25. And there was no cloak for that sin. V. 39-11. Now, in view of the facts of this . treatment, our Lord's question hero is most natural and pointed. And to it there could bo but one answer, and this the chief priests . and Pharisees gave at once. And in it thero are two truths very clearly stated: 1 1. A just retribution, and 2. A new disposition of the vineyard. V. 42. Now conies tb.o application of this by tho Lord to themselves. And he did so in ■ tho words of their own scripture. There is no shadow of doubt that tho reference is to the Messiah, and has always been held to bo so. “The stone” is the Messiah. The builders, the ftilors of tho Jews. The refusing or re jecting cf the stone, tho crucifying of tho Lord and, making him the head of the corner, his risin ; from the dead. All this i; clear as light without a cloud. And just as clear, too, is the truth that under this change of figure, God’s everlasting purpose of the ex altation of tho Son whom the husbandmen were about to cast out and kiil was thus an nounced to them. In the ono- figure they were tho “builders.” In the other tho “hus bandmen.” And in each destruction was the inevitable doom. V. 43. How full of solemn majesty are these words: “Therefore I say unto you,” etc. They aro the words of one who had in his hands all power in heaven and in earth, but who for a purpose and a time bad stooped to become the servant of all. “The kingdom of God," no doubt, was that given to the Jews when the Lord called them to himself to bo “a peculiar treasure." “a kingdom of priests and a h'-ly nation.” Exo dus xix, 5-6. And it was given to them at that time, as we have soon tho vineyard was ‘ planted then. But it was condi tinned on ' Israel’s obedience. V. 41. TLe Jewish people fell on this stone j and were broken. And or 1800 years they have been broken. But a, v/omul is not ■ death. They have been sorMy wounded. : Thank (sod there is a “ halm in Gilead.

YOU SEE When tho Declaration of Inde pendence was under debate, doubts and forebodings were whispered through the hall. 'The house hesi tated, wavered, and for a while lib erty and slavery appeared to hang in even scale. It was then that an aged patriarch arose —a venerable and stately form, his head white with the frost of years. Every eye went to him with the quickness of thought and remained with the fixedness of the polar star. He cast on the assembly a look o r inexpressible interest and unconquerable determination, whil on his visage the Imo of ago was lost in the Hush of burning patriot ism that fired his check. “There is” said he, “a tide in tin affairs of men, a nick of time. Wi percieve it now before us. To h itate is to consent to our own sla very. That noble instrument upon your t■ : le, which insures immor tality to its author, should be sub scribed this very morning by every pen in this house. He that will not respond to its ac cents and strain every nerve to car ry into effect its provisions is un worthy the name of freeman.” “For my part, of property I have some, of reputation more. That reputation is staked, that property is pledged, on the issue of this con test; an 1 although these gray hairs must soon descend into the sepulcre, I would infinitely rather that they descend thither by the hand of the executioner than desert at this cri sis the sacred cause of my country.” Dr. Knobs, of New York, thus describes an incident in the life of a former President of Princeton ('ol lege, which has recently elected a new president; The following is an interesting account of the election as given by a correspondent of the N. Y. IM ail and Express: A ■ th • e ;hoes di • out o'" the tele graphic announcements of the choice of Princeton’s new president a few in -idents of the great event may be relished by those observing this important change in a great university. It is undeniable that the trustees gathered with a sense of an impending struggle. There were the men who strenuously ad vocated Dr. Patton, as the profound scholar, keen philosopher, the man of intellect, the intrepid controver sialist. There were the supporters of Dr. Sloan, as the expert in uni versity administration, the genial litterateur, the representative of the active alumni. There were the rigid adherents to the principle of ‘no president who is not a graduate and an American burned citizen’ each with his candidate. Nosigns had been shown of concession, ex cept a suggestion of a compromise, with Patton for president. and Sloan for vice-president. The special committee of trustees, who had been deliberating for months, convene 1 in Princeton on the night before the critical day. It wa known that all the various views were represented in this committee. “Such was the situation when the board met on Thurshay. morn ing. But two members of the board were absent. Judge < 'aleh S. Green the brother and senior representa tive of the late John (’. Green, tin chief benefactor of the college, had left liis sick-room at the risk of hi: life to take part in deciding the mo mentou question. Judge Nixon, venerable and physically disabled, had also strained his power to be present. John I. Blair, the rail road millionaire, nearly ninety years of age, was in his seat. John K. Cowen, from Baltimore, and Dr. Samuel I. Pennington, the senior trustee, with eminent lawj-ers, mer chants and divines, young and old, I made it. a point to attend. When the rules were suspended, early in the day. and the consideration of the pre- ident’s resignation and the election of his successor was taken up, a<■ -tain sense of awe pervaded tiie body. The scene was impressi ble in the extreme when the venera ble Dr. McCosh rose to leave the chair. Instinctively, spontaneous ly, without a word every man arose from his seat and remained stand ing in .-ik'nee unlil the imp-,-ing form of the president disappeared from th -hamb. r. “Then lie chaiwnan of the special eomniiit-.e reported the unanimous recommendation that President McCosh’s resignation be accepted, to take effect after commencement, and that Prof. Francis L. Patton be ; elected to the presidency. Some power higher than man’s reason seemed to direct the procedings. ; The unanimity of a committee com -1 posed of such wise anil independent men had an immediate ’effect. No ' other nomination was made, and on the first ballot Dr. Patton was elec ted without a dissenting voice. Not 1 I an acrimonious word was spoken, not a voice heard out of harmony with the friendliest spirit. When President McCosh resumed the ' chair, after the noon recess, his re- ■ turn was welcomed with clapping of hands. Prof. W. 11. Green, the re nowned Hebraist, read to Dr. Mc- ' Cosh the resolutions which had ' been passed in his absence, secur ing to him a competency for life whether he should perform duties or not, and expressing the desire of tiie trustees that ho should con tinue to give the university the ben efit of his instructions m some form, as well as the complimentary minute bearing record to his attain- ■ ments and paying a deserved trib ute to President McCosh’s noble wife. Then followed the pathetic ■ scene. Dr. McCosh, choked with emotion, but commanding himself with dignity, delivered a moving speech, eloquent with recognition of ; the friendly acknowledgements of ■ his supporters, and with reference to the past and future. There was ' a moist eve as the ‘grand old man ■ of Princeton gave utterance to the feeling drawn from a full heart on ' this impressive occasion. When ' the old leader referred with grateful i satisfaction to the graceful mention of his wife, there was a touch of i humor mingled with his pathos. 1 ‘You may get a better president’- he ' said, ‘but you’ll never get a better president’s •wife.’ And there are 1 thousands who will echo that sen timent. “Curious though it may seem, all appear satisfied with Dr. Patton's ; election-. He is conceded to be sec ond to no man in the country in in tellectual force and scholarly attain ments. He is a brilliant speaker, ■ a trenchant writer, a fearless an tagonist, a judicious adviser, a calm but determined admistrator, and is described by those who have lived nearest to him as posessing those ; very qualities which his opponents have denied to him. The harmony of the board presages harmony and ' enthusiasm among the alumni, and ■ a new forward movement for Prince ton.” Why They Leave the Farm. “Why do the boys leave the farm?” wails a wrighter in an agri cultural journal. Wei’, dear broth - i er, there are several reasons. One ■ is because the boy is not 65 years > old at his birth. Then, if there is , a hoe on the farm weighing 14 ouu- ces, bright as nickle-plate and sharp ‘ as a razor, and another hoe weigh i ing somewhat less than a breaking . plow, with an edge on it like a ham i mer, and a sapling witii the bark - on it for a handle, the hired man I takes one and the boy gets the oth i er, and every man in America ■ knows which is the other. Did you ever stand with such a hoe in your i hands away down in a corn row on some airless, still, hot summer day, ■ twenty acres of corn blades and i tassels wilting about you, standing . fourteen inches higher than your ■ head, shutting out every last trace of breathable air, and then hear a II locust down in the edge of the tim . ] her striks up his long strident, . j monotonous call to make it ten ■ i times hotter? And all this time a ■ I cool creek not a mile away, loiter- ,: ing in deep, silent pools an shady i i i places in the woods, or breaking in i to merry dancing rippies over the ‘ pebbles? And in the deep holes, i * the fish just lying around waiting; I for a boy? Well, then, you know i why some boys leave th? farm. Still ■ boys can be kept on the farm and made to stay there all their lives. ■ You drive a long spike through a ■ boys abdomen and through a live ■ oak tree, and clinch or bolt it on • the other side, and then saw off the ; boys legs and break hi- back, and Ihe will stay on the farm. Yes, there .'.re some other way. we know, I b-.it tills is th- only inl'alli’ ' metli ;' od.—Hawkeye. More Corn. It would seem that enough has been written about the South’s rais ing her own food, and thus saving to herself the millions sent annual ly to the West for provisions that all reason indicate should be raised here at home. The very general discussion has, however, borne fruit and lead to an unprecedently large planting and yield of corn last sea son, resulting in a saving of S3O, 000,000 to our section. With mon fertilization and somewhat increas ; ed acreage the South would be self sustaining in the matter of provis ions and the advance would be de cided and hailed with universal re joicing. Among the unthinking the impression prevails that cotton alone means money, and all else is neglected in the effort to make the largest crop of the staple possible. In one sense this is true. Cotton is imperishable, and always convert ible, but not always profitably raised. Gold is the medium of exchange, is money wherever found, but it is folly to mine it where to get a dol lar, two must be spent. So with farming; it is unwise to raise cotton at a loss. The secret of success to the farmer is saving. A large crop of cotton means a good deal of money, but with enormous expense; while a cotton crop, duly propor tioned to others crops of the farm can be raised at a comparatively small cost, To try and raise cotton to defray all the legitimate expen ses of a properly conducted farm and besides pay for corn, meat., meal, Hour and all else consumed is more fooli.'i than to mine gold ore that yields ut a few cents per ton. Upon-our agriculture $e fise’or fall and its success depends upon its being made self-sustaining. Plant more food crops.—Ex. A Cool Thief. Baltimore has many cool thieves in its history, but the well-dressed stranger who came to the city and stole Judge Wm. A. Stewart's saw mill excelled them all. The saw mill was in East Baltimore, and being in litigation was unused. The building was not worth much and the chief value was in the machin ery. A handsome, smooth-tongued stranger made a critical survey of the premises and then made a con tract with Henry W. Wagner, who does hauling. “I'm the agent of the New York Insurance Company,” h,- said, “and I’ve come to dispose of the contents of this old shanty. I want the machinery out of the way this afternoon as I will have to go West at once.” Wagner hired extra drays and help, and the machinery was re moved to a junk shop, where it was sold for about S7OO. The handsome stranger pocketed the money and in, nW Wagner to take a dinner * 1?lie; w; nt to a restaur- ant/ail I after they had eaten a lib eral meal, the handsome stranger asked to be excused for a moment. He lias not been seen sine-.'. He has the receipts for Judge Stewart’s mill and Wagner has nothing but regrets. Judge Stewart presides over the city court. He is reported as laugh ing heartily over th? matter and remarking that a fillo.-,■ who could carry out a scheme like that de served to g -t off. Bank Robbed. Al Bradford, Pa., a few days ago a masked man, named Kimball, en tered th ■ Bradford national bank with a revolver in his hand, and when midway between the paying teller and discount clerk's desk, nimbly jumped over the high glass partition and mad- a grab for th i money on the cashier’s desk. The suddenness of the affair paralyzed the clerks, but Cashier Tomlin son rushed from his p: irate office ' and seiz'd the robber. As he did so he received a ball from the re volver in the hands of the villain, over his left hip, going clean thr-ugh him and coming out of the right. He dropped and the robber escaped at the front door with the money and ran down the side street. The report of the revolver attract ed a c ■ ?wd, and a number <■ ' citi .ens ‘started i;-. pursuit and Kimball ran some dist i iee, wh • i he turned on his pursuer and si: it A. E. Biiech, a butcher, in the abdomen, inflict- NO. 7. ing a dangerous wound. He then placed the revolver at his own head and fired. The ball entered at the temple and killed him instantly. The money was found in an inside pocket of the robbers coat, which he wore. Tomlinson and Bleich ire fatally hurt and can live but a few hours. Kimball was about 28 years old and was formerly an era. ploye of a producing firm. He was recently injured on the Erie road, near Stambnrg, in an accident, from which he is said to have received several hundred dollars damages, since which time he has been here Irinking heavily. He was former ly a real estate agent in Garden City, Kansas, where his wife died leaving two girls. The whole city is greatly excited over the tragic affair. Tomlinson has a wife’ and child and is held in great esteem. A correspondent in a Chicago joHrnel thinks the intelligence of the horse is greatly overrated, and submits the result of some of his observations as follows: “I have seen horses walk around a post un til they had wound up the bridle, and “then stand all the day with their heads bound down to the post, because they didn’t have sense enough to walk the other way and unwind the bridle. I have seen them get a foot over the bridle, when tied to a ring in the pavement, and then go into fits because they didn’t have sense enough to lift their foot over the bridle again. I have seen them prance around in a burning barn, with their tails and manes on fire, and burn to death because they did not have sense enough to run out. Anybody can ste-il a horse without anv objection horse. A horse will stand and starve or freeze to death, with nothing be tween him and a comfortable stall and plenty of oats except an old door that he could kick down with one foot, or that could be opened by removing a pin with his teeth. If this is a high degree of intelligence, even in a brute, then I am lacking in that article myself. Compared with the dog, the elephant, or even parrot, the horse seems to me to be a perfect fool.” A machine has been patented by a Syracuse (N. Y.) inventor which will go far toward making penny postage an immediate possibility. As a gentleman connected with the railway mail service informs the Buffalo Express: A bushel of letters can be dump ed into a hopper, all kinds mixed together, postals, legal envelopes, square society envelopes, oblong business envelopes, envelopes con taining thick circulars, with stamps on the right-hand corner, on the left-hand corner and in the middle, and they will come out all faced one way, right side up, post-marked and canceled at the rate of SOO per minute.
