BILL NYE ON THE FIDDLER, NERO.
Nero, who was a Roman Emperor from
54 to 68 A. D., was said to have been one
of the most disagreeable monarchs to meet
that Rome ever had. He was a nephew of
Caligula, the Emperor, on his mother's
side, and a son of Dominitius Abentobarbus,
of St. Lawrence county. The above
was really Nero's name, but in the year 50
A. D. his mother married Claudius, and her
son adopted the name of Nero Claudius
Csesar Drusus Germanicus. This name he
was in the habit of wearing during cold
weather, buttoned up in front. During the
hnf. n'oofhar Yorn woe oil tho noma ha
*?vw n VMVUV? j ^lViV fiutj l?Ift VUV aiv
wore.
In 53 Nero married Octavia, daughter of
Claudius and went right to housekeeping.
Nero and Octavia did not get along first rate.
Xero soon wearied of his young wife and
finally transferred her to New Jerusalem.
In 54 Nero's mother, by concealing the
rightful heir to the throne for several weeks,
and doctoring the returns, succeeded in getting
the steady job of Emperor for Nero at
a good salary.
His reign was quite stormy and he was a
good, vicarious fighter, and could sucessfully
hold a man's coat all day while the man
went to the front to get killed. He loved
to go out riding over the battle fields as
soon it was safe, in his gorgeously bedizened
band chariot, and he didn't care if the
wheels rolled in gore up to the hub provided
it was some other man's gore. It gave
him great pleasure to drive about over the
field of carnage and gloat over the dead.
Nero was not a great success as an Emperor,
but as a gloater he has no rival in history.
Nero's reign was characterized, also, by
the great conflagration and Roman fireworks
of July, G4, by which two-thirds of
the city of Rome was destroyed. The emperor
was charged with starting this fire in
order to get the insurance on a stock of dry
goods on Main street.
Instead of taking off his crown, hanging
it up in the hall and helping to put out the
fire, as other Emperors have done time and
iiofain Morn tnnlr his vinlin nn stairs and
U11CU91YC7 pai uoa:: viuiv tnuu
ly put up the following notice on his office
aoor:
"Gone to see the Emperor in relation to charge
of offensive partisanship. Meet meet at the
eomelery at 2 o'clock."
Finally, Nero overdid this thing and ran
it into the ground. He did not want to be
disliked, so those who disliked him were
killed. This made people timid and muzzled
the press a good deal. #
The Roman papers in those days were all
on one side. They did not dare to be fearless
and outspoken for fear that Nero would
take out his ad. So they would confine
themselves to the statement that: "The
genial and urbane Afranius Burrhus had
painted his new and recherche picket fence
last week," or, "Our enterprising fellow
townsman, CtesarKersikes, will remove the
tail of his favorite bulldog next week, if
the weather should be auspicious," or
"Miss Agrippina Bangoline, eldest daugh
ter or tfomuius .Bangonne, me great xvuujuu
rinkist, will teach the school at Eupatorium,
Tr; foliatum Holler, this summer. She
is a highly accomplished young lady, and
a good speller."
Nero got more and more fatal as he grew
older, and finally the Romans began to
wonder whether he would not wipe out the
Empire befor he died. His back vard was
full all the time of people who had dropped
in to be killed, so that they could have it off
their minds.
Finally Nero himself yielded to the g^eat
strain that had been placed upon him, and,
in the midst of an insurrection in Gaul,
Spain, and Rome itself he tied and killed
himself.
The Romans were very grateful, for Nero's
great crowning act in the killing line, but
they were dissatisfied because he delayed
it so long, and therefore they refused to
erect a tall monument over his remains.
While they admired the royal suicide, and
regarded! it as a success, they censured
Nero's negligence and poor judgment in
suiciding at the wrong end of his reign.
I have often wondered what Nero would
have done if he had been Emperor of the
United States for a few weeks and felt as
sensitive to newspaper criticism as he seems
to have been. Wouldn't it be a picnic to
see Nero cross the Jersey ferry to kill off a
a few journalists who had adversely criticised
his course? The great violin virtuoso
and lightweigh Roman tyrant would prob
ably go home by return mail, wrapped in
tinfoil, accompanied by a note of regret
from each journalist of New York, closing
with the remark that "in the midst of life
we are in death, therefore now is the time
to subscribe."
On His Mettle.?He was telling it to
his Honor at the Police Court yesterday.
Said he:
"Well, you know, I went home about 4
o'clock in the afternoon. Wife was there.
I chucked her under the chin tender-like
and, says I:
"Molly, who runs this shanty?'
"And she speaks up very promptly and
says:
"'Samuel, It's a woman about my size,
and don't you forget it!'
" 'Pshaw !' says I.
" 'Dead fact!' says she.
"And I chucks her under the chin again,
not quite so tender this time and says:
" 'Molly, I can do you up in about two
minutes.'
"And she doesn't wait a second to answer
:
" 'Samuel, that's where you are lame.
I'm the better man."
" 'Get out!' says I.
" 'I'll prove !' says she.

mettle, as it wePe. No husband as is a husband
can stand it to have his wife say she
can wipe the boards with him, and so I
spits on my hands and sails in."
"And you came out ahead ?"
"Well, that's the way I've got it down in
my diary. She gave me two scalp-cuts, a
black eye and six bites, and 1 loosened
three of her teeth, cut her lip and choked
her senseless. If she goes bragging around
that it was a draw I'll be ready to try it
again, for I'll allow no living woman in
Detroit to walk on me. I'll fight 'em till I
die!"?I-Yee Press.
Not His Oiiject.?There was an empty
box in front of a house ou Catharine street
the other day, and a parcel boy stopped and
picked up a club and began to beat on the
box. The noise soon roused a resident, who
leaned over his gate and inquired:
"Boy, vhas dot you ?"
"Of course it's me.
"Vhat object you haf in sooch poundings
?"
"To make a noise."
"Oh?ah ! Vhell, goahedt. I tink maype
your object vhas to disturb me."
A Good Soldier.?A Georgian was talking
to another soldier, and asked, "Whey
was you durin' the war?" The other replied,
"I was twenty-four months in the
army, sir." "Yaas; waal, whey was you
durin' that time?" "I was twenty-three
months in the hospital." "And whey was
you durin' the other month?" "I was
looking for the hospital," said the fellow.

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
.
I THE STATE MILITIA ORDERED TO SUPPORT
THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES.
A dispatch of July 5th from Morehead,
| Kentucky, says: Promptly at ten o'clock
J last night the taps were beaten and lights
put out, and all the troops not on guard retired
on their arms, hoping for a night's
rest, but prepared for any emergency. The
j pickets around the encampment grounds
I were increased, and also the pickets placed
around the house of Craig Toliver. A brav|
er and more vigilant lot of soldiers were
never on duty than those last night. Capt.
I Strothers was in command of the guard at
J Toliver's house, and Capt. J. Speed Smith
! was the officer of the day. The house in
! which Toliver is guarded is situated on the
pTayed, "i'il Meet You When the Sun
Goes Down." This occasioned a great
deal of adverse criticism on the part of
those who opposed the admit istration.
Several persons openly criticised Nero's
policy and then died.
A man in those days would put on his
overcoat in the morning, and tell his wife
not to keep dinner waiting. "I am going
down town to criticise the Emperor a few
moments," he would say. "If I do not get
home in time for dinner, meet me on the
evergreen shore."
Nero, after the death of Octavia, married
Poppwa Sabina. She died afterward at her
husband's earnest solicitation. Nero did
not care so much about being a bridegroom,
but the excitement of being a widower
always gratified and pleased him.
He was a very zealous monarch, and kept
ti ,1 ? KSo
nuiue prtJLiy wen suncu up uuuug uio
reign. If a man failed to show up anywhere
on time his friends would look sadly
at each other and say, "Alas he has criticised
Nero."
A man could wrestle with the yellow
fever, or the smallpox, or the Asiatic cholera,
and stand a chance for recovery, but
when he spoke sarcastically of Nero it was
good-bye John.
When Nero decided that a man was an

railroad, and only a lew nunureu ieet irom
the depot. About eleven o'clock last night
a pistol-shot was distinctly heard upon the
encampment grounds. Thereupon the long
roll was immediately sounded, and the three
companies fell into line. The Cerro Gordo
and Winchester Guards were left on the
encampment grounds under the command
of Capt. J. Speed Smith, and the Irvine
Rifles, under command of Major McKee,
ran in double quick time to the guarded
house, and they arrived there with their
rifles loaded, cartridge boxes filled and prepared
for any emergency. Within two
minutes of the firing of the shot no other
shot was fired, and nothing more was heard.
After remaining at the house for some time
the Irvine Guards were marched back to
| the Courthouse, and the companies broke
ranks. The guards watched vigilantly the
rest of the night which passed quietly away.
No attack is anticipated either from the
friends or enemies of the parties under arrest,
but if one is made the attacking party
will most assuredly have a splendid opportunity
of trying the hardness of S. G. bullets.
Major McKee is a most excellentcommanding
officer, and neither he nor his
men can be surprised.
The examining trials will begin to-morrow,
and many developments are expected.
Some of the prisoners under arrest are very
young, which is a very striking fact. The
guards were increased and everybody on
the alert because of various rumors on the
streets yesterday, some believing that an
attempt would be made to rescue the prisoners,
and especially Toliver, and others
expecting an attack from the Martin faction.
The "Rowan war," as it is termed, is an
outgrowth of the old Underwood-Holbrook
feud. The following graphic story of the
trouble was told by a Kentucky officer on
Saturday: John Martin, who heads one of
the factions, was indirectly at the bottom of
the Underwood war, during which no less
than thirty men lost their lives and the
male members of the Underwood family
were all killed. Martin is the son of a respectable
farmer and he was at one time
Clerk of the Rowafi county Court and the
proprietor of a large store at Morehead, the
county seat.
Early in 1877 Martin fell into bad company,
and in a few months dissipation and
cards compelled him to give up his store.
Shortly after his failure in business he was
accused of falsifying and mutilating the
records of the county court in the interest
of a rising politician who was known to be
his friend, and the fact being pretty well
established he was defeated for the office at
the next election. In the spring of 1876
Martin was arrested in Mason county for
horse stealing, and being released on bail,
went back to Rowan. Old George Underwood,
the father of the Underwood boys,
lived at Olive Hill, which is just across the
line in Carter county. He rented Martin a
piece of land and the latter began to make
a crop, living meanwhile at Underwood's
house, whither he had brought his young
wire, une mgnt some norses were stoien in
the neighborhood and 'Squire Elijah Holbrook,
who was Underwood's nearest neighbor,
accused John Martin and Jesse Underwood
of stealing them.
He consulted his friends and after several
meetings a notice was sent to old man Underwood
that Martin must go. Martin's
wife was sick and Underwood told him he
could stay until she got better. This defiance
of the orders of Judge Lynch incensed
the Hoi brooks and war was declared. Several
of the Underwood boys were shot down,
old man Underwood's house was besieged
and Jesse, his favorite son, was compelled
to take to the bush. The section of country
in which this happened is heavily timbered,
rough and rocky. Bodies of armed men
swearing allegiance to one or the other of
the two factions patrolled the country and
skirmishes and battles were of daily occurrence.
The Governor ordered two companies
of State troops to the scene, but they
were powerless to quell the disturbance.
The Holbrooks insisted that the Underwoods
and their friends must leave Kentucky
and the latter were equally determined
to stay. For two years the Holbrooks
kept up the siege and George Underwood's
double log house became famous as "Fort
Underwood."
One night in 1880 the old man ventured
out into the yard to secure an armful of
wood. He was fired upon and severely
wounded. Jessie was in the bush and word
j was sent to him that his father was wounded.
The next night he stealthily approached
the house, but was discovered by the
Holbrooks and shot down just as he was entering
the door. The women dragged his
helpless body into the room amid a shower
of lead. llefore morning he died, and
when his young wife gave utterance to a
loud wail of agony and the other women
joined her with loud cries of grief the listening
Holbrooks set up an exultant shout
and discharged their rifles. They posted
notices on the trees along the road warning
everybody, on pain of death, to keep
away from Fort Underwood, and no one was
found brave enough to disobey the mandate
of Judge Lynch. For three days and nights
the weeping women and children in the old
log house kept guard over the dead body of
their kinsman, and old George Underwood,
desnerately wounded, clutched his rifle
with a firm hand and refused to surrender.
On the fourth night a party of masked
men came to the door of the house and de
I iimuufu auiiiumua.
"We learn that Jesse is dead," said the
| leader, and we want to see if it is so.
| If he is really dead, we will go awav and
there will be no more fighting;."
Old man Underwood would have defied
I them, but the women prevailed upon him
to treat with the party outside, and he finally
agreed to handout his arms and open the
door to them, they promising not to molest
anyone if Jessie were really dead.
I .Seven of the men entered the house, and
one of them lifting theeloth from Jesse UnI
derwood's face identified him as the dread|
ed outlaw. Old George Underwood sat on
i the bed, watching them. His little grand!
daughter nestled beside him, holding his
i hand. The invading party disguised their
] voices, but the old man recognized one of
! them and called him by name. With an
i oath the brutal ruffian stepped up behind
| Underwood and emptied both barrels of his
i shotgun into the defenseless man's body.
He fell forward into the arms of his grandchild
without a groan, and with jest and a
wild hurrah the murderers fled from the
house.
For the time being hostilities were susnorlcrl
am] tho M-nmun and children nf
dead Underwoods left that section of Kentucky.
John Martin took up his headquarters
at a moonshine distillery on Possum
Ridge, overlooking the little village of Confederate
X Roads, now known as Liking
City. He was arrested several times for illicit
distilling, but always managed to
evade the penalty when brought to trial.
About three months ago he quarreled with
one of the Underwood faction at Morehead,
1 the county seat, and shot the latter dead.
The war re-opened, and since that time
Rowan county has been at the mercy of
two lawless factions, thirsting for each others'
blood. The sheriff of the county and
the marshal of Morehead have been killed
and it is estimated that nine out of every
ten men in the county take sides with one
or the other of the two factions. It is to
disperse these rioters and restore order, that
the Kentucky troops will march into Rowan.
As one of the Louisville men said the
other night: "We have been playing soldier
here. When we get back home we'll
go at it in earnest."
SIXTH REGIMENT SURYIYORS.
There was a large meeting of the Chester
division of the survivors of the Sixth Regiment.
S. C. V., at the Court House in Chester,
on the 6th instant. The President,
Lieut. C. W. McFadden, stated the objects
of the meeting to be expressed in the published
call; viz., the election of officers, and
to provide for the annual reunion of the
Regiment in August.
Unfinished business being called for, on
motion of W. A. Sanders, the committee in
charge of this matter was continued, with
instructions to report to the president of
division at the regimental reunion in August,
The election for officers to serve for the
ensuing year resulted in the re-election, by
I acclamation, of the former officers, C. W.
McFadden, President; O. A. Wylie and H.
S. Hardin, Vice-Presidents; John H. Buchanan,
Secretary; R. W. Strieker, Treasurer.
\V. A. Sanders read a telegram from Col.
Jas. H. Jtion, annoucning rates of railroad
fare to Seven Pines, as follows: For one
hundred men $10.50 each; for two hundred
and sixty men, $5.75 each.
The following resolution offered by Maj.
E. C. McLure was adopted:
Resolved, That survivors of all commands engaged
in the late war fro in Chester, York, Lancaster
and Fairfield counties are invited to join with
us in the excursion to the battlo fields around
Richmond in August next, and that the relatives
of surviving or deceased comrades be also invited
to join us on said occasion, they paving their
own expenses and subjecting themselves to such
discipline as may be ordered for the survivors of
the 6th Regiment.
Maj. McLure also offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, that all persons who intend to take
part with this division in the excursion to Richmond,
Ya.,of the survivors of the 6th Regiment,
be requested to give their names at as early a day
as possible, not later than the 20th instant, to
John H. Buchanan, Esq., Secretary, in order
that arrangements may be made for their transportation,
and those who report prior to or on
that day shall have precedence in case there
should "be any deficiency of transportation; and
that persons so reporting should state whether
they are willing to go with only 100, or not unless
the 260 is made up.
The resolution was adopted.
On motion of W. A. Sanders, the Lee
Light Infantry, of Chester, the Cordon Light
Infantry, of Winnsboro, and the Sandy

Fairfield division ; this joint committee to
proceed to Richmond to make necessary arrangements
for the reunion at Seven Pines.
The motion was adopted and Capt. W. T.
I). Cousar and Lieut. J. S. Drennan were
appointed a committee from the Chester
division.
The meeting .then adjourned.
. "African Sunshine."?Those who remember
Mark Twain's remark about the
African belles will be interested in Mr.
Stanley's description of African sunshine as
given in his new book on the Congo country:
African sunshine always appears to me,
with all its great heat, to be a kind of superior
moonlight, judging from its effects on
scenery. Once or twice in this book I write
of "solemn-looking" hills. I can only attribute
this apparent solemnity to the peculiar
sunsnine. It deepens the shadows, and
darkens the dark-green foilage of the forest,
while it imparts a wan appearance or cold
reflection of light to naked slopes and woodless
hilltops. Its effect is a chill austerity?
an indescribable solemnity?a repelling unsociability.
Yoursympathiesare not warmed
by it; silence has set its seal upon it;
before it you become speechless. Gaze your
utmost on the scene, admire it as you may,
worship it as you will, but your love is not
needed. Speak not of grace or of loveliness
in connection with it. Serene it may be,
but it is a passionless serenity. It is to be
Lnf nn4- Kn onnlrnn fA fnr
t'UUicinpiaicU) uuii nuu iu uc opuuv/n vv/^ iv?
your regard is fixed upon a voiceless, sphinxlike
immobility, belonging more to an unsubstantial
dreamland than to a real earth.
Hampton in Washington.?A Washington
dispatch of Friday to the News and
Courier says: Senator Hamptom in a quiet
way is looking into the Charleston collectorship
business. He called at the treasury
department and carefully examined several
papers on file in the case. When he had
obtained the information he desired he proceeded
toSecretary Manning's room, and was
closeted with the secretary for some time.
Your correspondent asked the Senator if
there were any new developments in the
case. He replied that he was endeavoring to
obtain some information on that subject,
but he would not give out anything he
learned. When asked whom he considered
the most acceptable candidate, he said they
were all good men, but he declined to say
whom he would recommend if the President
or the secretary should ask his advice
on the subject.
A new candidate, in the person 01 ;ur. ?.
T. Williams, has entered the field and I
am informed that his papers were examined
by Senator Hampton to-day. Congressman
Dibble has not been here for over two
weeks and is not expected here soon.
How Men of Iron are Killed.?People
know nothing about each other. Every
man is a globe, a natural history to himself.
When we have beaten every enemy outside
of us, there arises unseen enemies
within us. You see the powerful horse go
to the field every day and take his place at
the plow, and one day you find him dead,
and you ask what the trouble might have
been. The horse could not speak, but the
doctor comes along and tells you that he
had the bots. You ask what the hots may
be. Pots you find are some kind of insects
that are propagated within the animal,
feeding upon his health and life. .So it is
with men at work, when they are apparently
most healthy some unknown species of
I thing seems to want to prey upon them,
j if for nothing else than because of such
| abundant health. We slay the fattest steer;
j the noblest sheep we want upon our plate.
Therefore, strong, sensible men are often
I the victims of the commercial necessities ot
: life and wear themselves down and out
when everybody else is wondering how they
j procured such an iron fabric.
The Physiology of Perspiration.?
j There are probably 2,500,000 sweat-glands
! belonyins-to each human beimr. the object i
of the existence of this perspiratory system j
j being to remove the excess of water and
j noxious gases and to regulate the tempera- j
I ture of the body. Perspiration is always
j going on, and under normal conditions it
I amounts to about two pints a day for each
person. If this perspiration is checked in
| any way grave results are apt to ensue. The
i blood would rush to the lungs and cause
! congestion, or to the throat or to the stomach,
or other parts, which would become at i
| once affected. The first principle of health
| is to keep the skin in good condition, and
; the way to keep the skin in good condition
; is to use proper food, to bathe often in cold
i or tepid water, and dress properly.
The Gjkl Wiio Gets Left.?It may be !
; set down as an absolute truth that when a i
I respectable young man desires the acquain- j
; tance of one who may some day be his wife '
he does not go out on the street and seek to
make that acquaintance by flirtation ; in direct
opposition, such a one he would not
marry under any circumstances. The flirt- j
; ing girl should bear in mind that she is the j
by-word among them with whom she flirts, [
nnrl that, the nrolonged indulgence of her
! folly will but serve to fasten a stigma upon |
I her name which will long outlast her years i
I of indiscretion, and will cause her to be i
shunned by wife seekingyoung men through |
knowledge of her former reputation.?Pittsburr;
Chronicle.
So Many Axes to Grind.?The average j
yearly consumption of grindstones in the j
I'nited States is about j>0,000 tons. It varies [
from year to year owing to the fluctuation j
in the manufacturing trades, which are the j
I principal consumers. The year 1881 was
j the best season ever known in the business.
The entire consumption in that season was '
j 72,700 tons.
BST A Hartford man who had tarried late
at a wine supper, found his wife waiting
his return in a high state of nervousness.:
Said she: "Here I've been waitingand rocking

REV. ROBERT LATHAN.

RECEIVED HIM NOT.
In the first chapter of the gospel according
to John, at the eleventh verse, these
words are found: "He came unto his own,
and his own received him not." The words
which are translated "his own" in both
clauses of this verse are different in that in
the first clause the neuter gender is used,
while in the second clause the masculine
gender is preferred. A literal and more
correct translation would be, "Hecameunto
his own uronertv. and his own people re
ceived him not." In these words Jesus
Christ is declared to be the sovereign proprietor
of all men and all things. This is
simply one of many ways by which he is
declared to be God equal with the Father.
By "his own," meaning "his own people,"
the reference is primarily to the Jews. According
to the flesh, Jesus Christ was the
seed of Abraham. This declares his humanity.
In this short sentence we have a
positive declaration that Jesus Christ is both
human and divine. He is God-man, two
natures in one person. In addition to this,
we have in this verse, a statement, in simple
language, of the reception which Jesus
Christ received by his own people, the
Jews. "They received him not." That Is
they rejected him. This was in perfect harmony
with the prediction of Isaiah. "He
is despised and rejected of men."
It seems strange that the Jews rejected
Jesus Christ. During the whole of their
national existence they had been accustomed
to marvelous displays of Divine interposition
in their behalf. Not only so, but for generations,
as a people, they had been looking
forward to the arrival of that long predicted
period when Shiloh would come. The
sceptre had actually departed from Judah,
ana the lawgiver from between his feet,
and as a nation they were in a fit condition,
both spiritually and politically, to flock to
any one who proposed to bring them deliverance
from their thralcfom. The miraculous
circumstances attending the birth of
Jesus Christ were such as to make a deep
and lasting impression upon any mind, but
especially upon the mind of a Jew. There
was a publicity about his birth which was
very unusual, and "his star in the east," and
the "presenting of gold, frankincense and
myrrh, by the wise men of the east," must
have been known by a large number of the
??i? rnv,?
utrupic. j. 11c until ui uwun \^uiiot umut
Herod tremble for his government.
It is probable that Jesus Christ was looked
upon with favor by the common people,
until the period when his public ministrations
began. We are told that "the child
Jesus grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled
with wisdom." Again it is said, "Jesus increased
in wisdom and stature, and in favor
with God and man." By the rulers of the
Jews, Jesus was despised and rejected. That
Herod would despise Jesus is no more wonderful
than that Saul hated David, or Jezebel
sought to slay Elijah. Herod no doubt
reasoned selfishly and concluded that the
success of Jesus would result in wresting
the government of Judea out of his hands.
In fact, Herod had nothing to fear. Jesus
did not propose to deprive nira, or any one
else, of any rightful authority he enjoyed.
Strange as it may appear, Jews and Gentiles,
Pharisees and Sadducees, friends and
foes, all agreed to despise and reject Jesus
Christ.
What the Jews did near nineteen centuries
ago, the human family are doing to-day
in every land in which Christ is preached.
The mass of the Jews still reject him, and
the mass of the Gentiles treat him with a
cold, formal indifference which is little less
than persecution. If it be asked why is this?
tne only satisiactory answer wnicn can oe
given is that the human family is dead in
trespasses and sins. In our unregenerated
state there is to us nothing in Jesus Christ
that is desirable. "Ye must be born again"
is the announcement which Jesus made to
! Nicodemus and which he makes to-day to
every member of the human lamily. As a
nation the Jews will continue to reject Jesus
until they are born again, and the Gentiles
will continue "to care for none of these
things," which pertain to truth and salvation
until they are quickened by God's holy
Spirit into life.
When Paul, a prisoner at Rome, preached
the gospel to his countrymen, the result of
his preaching is briefly stated in these
words: "Some believed the things which
were spoken and some believed not." This
is exactly the condition of things to-day.
Wherever the gospel is preached some believe
and some believe not. Some accept
the offers of mercy while others reject them.
To some Jesus Christ is "the chiefest among
ten thousand, the one altogether lovely;" to
others, he is only "the carpenter's son."
To reject evil or an evil person is wise,
but not to accept the good when it is offered,
is consummate folly. Time has demonstrated
the rejecting of Jesus Christ by the Jews
to have been an act of unparalleled folly.
Their standing as a nation began to decline
rapidly with Jeroboam, the son of Nebat,
who made Israel to sin. At the time of our
Saviour it had reached the climax of ruin,
and to-day
"The wild dove hath her nest, the fox his cave,
Mankind their country?Israel the grave."
Politically, the opposition which the Jews
set up against Jesus Christ amounted to
very little. They had the malice, but not
the power, to nut him to death. The spread
of the gospel has been but little retarded by
the Jews. A people who for twenty centuries
have been without a country, and who
hold themselves separate and distinct from
the rest of mankind?a people who exist by
sufferance?can have very little influence,
either for or against Jesus Christ. The active
enemies of the Lamb of God to-day are
Gentiles. "Of the Jews five times Paul received
forty stripes save one," but Paul and
thousands of other Christians were cruelly
put to death by Gentile persecutors. The
most open rejecters of Jesus Christ, and the
most bitter and actiVe opposers of the gospel
of Jesus Christ are Gentiles.
When we consider the carnality of the
human heart, and the fact that Christ demands
that, in order to be his disciples, we
must give up all ungodliness and fleshly
lusts and live lives of holiness, the wonder
is not that Christ has so few followers, but
that he has any followers at all. The bringing
of prodigals to themselves and starting
them back to God is a marvel of grace.
It is a consoling fact that although Jesus
Christ always hqs had enemies?has them
to-day?still the triumphs of the cross arc
seen and felt in every land. To-day the
banner of Jesus Christ floats over the strongholds
of sin and Satan. Were Jesus living
visibly in this world to-day there is not a
court on earth which would dare condemn
him, and there is not a potentate beneath
the sun who would dare to nail him to the
1iic ^\/>uiuuigiu w* uiu tiuuu 10 vii
the shoulders of him who was despised and
rejected.
Stair Those who enjoy the example and instruction
of pious parentsare highly favored
by(Jod. The influence of a pious mother
over her children is very great. The human
heart rarely reaches that degree of hardness
and rarely makes such progress in malicious
wickedness that the example of a
pious mother is forgotten or her prayers and
instructions wholly neglected. The impression
still remains if for no other purpose
than to arouse a sleeping conscience. The
most instructive lessons many of the great
and good men of the world in all ages ever
learned, were those taught them by their
mothers, when they were prattling children.
It was between their mother's knees that
they learned the great cardinal doctrines of
the Christian religion. It was there that
they learned the Bible doctrine of original
sin and actual transgression. It was there
they learned to love the Saviour. How
thankful should those children be who have
pious parents.
It is consoling to the careworn soldier
of the cross that he follows a leader who
will at last gain for him a permanent victory
and crown him with a crown of glory.
We can form some notion of what is meant
by a crown of gold or by a crown of thorns,
but we know not what is meant by a crown
of glory. We know not what we shall be;
all we certainly know is that when we awake
after our slumber in the grave we shall be
like our Redeemer. "I shall be satisfied
when I awake in his likeness," says the
Psalmist.

Cancel1 of the Tongue!
.1 Cane JtfHunhliitfj lint nf General <Irunt.
Sonic ton yonr-i a no I had a scrofulous sore on my rijrlit J
hand which gave rno groat ironlilo, and under the oldtime
treatment was healed up, and I supposed I was well.
I found, however, it had only been driven into my system
by the use of potash and mercury, and in March, 1882, it j
broke out in my throat and concentrated in what some
of the doctors denominated cancer. I wns placed under
treatment for tills disease. Some six or seven of the
best physicians in the country had me at different times I ;
under their charge, among them three specialists In this j
line; but one alter another would exhaust their skill and
dm,, mi. fur I nrow worse continually. The cancer had
eaten through my cheek, destroying the roof of my j
mouth and upper lip, then attacked my tongue, palate,
and lower lip, destroying the palate and under lip entirely
and half my tongue, eating out to the top or my left
cheek hone and up to the left eye. From a healthy, robust
woman of 1.10 pounds, I was reduced to a mere
frame of skin and hones, almost unable to turn myself |
ill lied. I could not eat any solid food, but subsisted on i
liquids, and my tongue was so far gone I could not talk.
The anguish of mind and the horrible sufferings of body
which I experienced never can be revealed. Given up
by physicians to die, with no hope of recovery upon the
part of friends who sat around iny bedside expecting
every moment to be my last; in fact, my husband would
place his hand upon me every now and then to see
whether I was alive, or not, and atone time all decided
that life was extinct, and my death was reported all over
the country.
Such was my wretched and helpless condition the first
of last October (188-1), when my friends commenced giving
Swift's Specific. In less than a month the eating
places stopped and healing commenced, and the fearful
aperture in my cheek lias been closed and firmly knitted
together. A process of a new under lip is progressing
finely, and the tongue, which was almost destroyed, is
being recovered, and it seems that nature is supplying j
a new tongue. I can talk so that my friends can readily
understand me and can eat solid food again. I am able
to walk about wherever 1 please without the assistance
of any one, and have gained fifty pounds of flesh. All
this, under the blessing of a mercifully Heavenly Fcther
is due to Swift's Specific. I am a wonder and a marvel
to all my friends, hundreds of whom have known my
intense sufferings,and havefisited lite in my afflictions.
While 1 am not entirely well, yet my gratitude is none
the less devout, and I am confident that a perfect recovery
is now in sight, if any doubt these facts, I would
refer them to Hon. John H. Taylor, State Senator, of
this district, who is my neighbor, Dr. T. S. Brad field, of
LaGrange, Ga., or to any persons living in the southern
part of Troupe county, Ga.
