Mark and Lnko supply two very in teresting features of this case. From one we learn that bo was a ruier, i. e., n member of the Sanhedrim. From the other wc learn that he came running. Ho was in earnest, and not afraid to have it known that he was. He was not satisfied with what the doctors of the law taught concerning this groat question. Ho felt, he was suit', there was Bomething more. B#t what was it? Where should bo find the opo who could lift the veil and let in tho light I It would seem f. om tbo narrative that ho had been-following Jesus secretly, or without making himself known. Ko wanted to hear what this great teacher would say about it. Aud now, cs ho hears his la^t words, ho could restrain himself no longer. JIo came running to Jesus, with the great question, “Gootl lla^- terl what must I do that I ma}* have eternal lifer’ or, “inherit eternal life?” Y. 17 IV furo answering his question our Lord, gently yet pointedly, rebukes him for tho use of the title by which ho addressed him. Vf iiy dii he use it? Ho did not n:ean it. Ho did not mean to say that ho (Jesus) was tho good. For that title belongs only to one—or to Ooel. And, as an unmeaning com pliment, ho could not receive it. N'o*.v this doon not mean that Jesus declined a title be longing only to God; but that tho young ruler himself did not mean to intimate, that it so ladongod to him. And therefore hn could not receive it from him. Now, in our 1-ordV answer to the young ruler's question, wo mast observe that he answered from his standpoint. Ho occupio*! the ground on which he stood. His question was, “What shall I do that I may have, or inherit, eternal Idol” He would have it as the result of his own doings. Ho proposed to work for it. Ho wanted to have it, as of debt, ns a working- loan receives bis wages. And so tho matter replies to, him. “Keep the commandments.' 1 He did not propose the difficulties of tho cas'\ He would have him ascertain these for himself. He would have him find out b r himself that obedience to the law, as tho price of eternal.life, was a chain of macy links, and if one of these was broken the chain itself was worthless. It olTered no connection between the man and the object he had In view. Hut tho young ruler did not see this. And so V*. 18-‘JO. When he heard the Lord’s an swer he at ones asked wluch of (Jit* com mandments ho meant. And in answer the Lord cited tho sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and fifth, while Mark adds tho tenth. Now all these were of tho second tabic of tho law. Not a word is said about those of tho first table. The young man's relation to God seems to have been entirely left put of the question. Why was this? And there seems to be no doubt about the answer. For it is manifest that our Lord meant to show how utterly hopeless his caso was, even on his own chosen ground. For, if ho promised to be saved by the works of tho law, or to enter into life because of obedience to tho law, it must bo very clear that he had obeyed the law. Now, if it wero a question of obedience to man’s law—L e., if it concerned tho out ward act alone—it would be very easily set tled. But. if that “law is spiritual;” If the lustful thought is adultery and the angry thought is murder, then the rase, is a very different one. The young ruler proposed to win eternal life by tho deeds of the law. Now tho sum; ming up of the second table of the law is, “Thou shnlt love thy neighbor as thyself.” He* said he did. And Jesus replied in effect. “If you do it is very easy to prove it. You would not hesitate to part with anything 3'on have to relievo j our own wants. Now why should you hesitate to relievo the necessities of your neighbor! You would not if you loved him qs you do yourself. 1-Tow, therc- Mills, of the Ways and Means Coin- a^.,, ~ . . ... , r , , mitLee, has made an official and for- Thi*.

This was the simple issue; and ouc more clearly defined could not well be pre sented. And is that all? No. For that might spring from a motive utterly inad- inissable. And so tho Master adds, “and come and follow me.” V. gj. How true to tho life this is. How clear the revelation it makes of tho ruling j*ower in this young ruler’s heart. Doubt less he was attracted by the Master's teach ing; but tho glitter of bis gold had a brighter luster iu bis eye*! Doubtless he was con cerned for his eternal life. But clearly, the l>renenf had for bin* the greater attraction, lie was in “tho valley of decision,” and quietly j ielded to the power of the present and the seen! “Ho turned and wont away, for bo hail groat possessions.” Tho present and the eternal life were weighed against each other, and the beam went down on the side of the present. Poor young man! V. 315,24. It Is not hard to imagine the deep compassion that moved in tire Master's breast, asheturnud to his disciples and spoke those words. Doubtless they had seen and beard all that hail passed^ and be would shield them now from any wrong impres sions the young ruler's example might make ujk>*i them. And if wo ask for the reason underlying the deelarationof the Master—or •why it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God—there soetus to !><• two r a- sons, r. e.: 1. Riches beget a sense of power in the bolder of them. Therefore the rich man is commonly puffed up w ith a r.euse of his im portance. He cun do anything; and his pride erects itself even against God. 2. Riches become an object of trust tp their possessor. They seem to break down tho simplicity of childlike faith in God. How can In* pray, “Give us this day oiu- daily bread," when he knows that his cheek is good in bank ami bis credit high, on exchange? i then gives tin And so bo learns to “trust in riches," as the ! anti continues ultimate good in fife.

Jesus gave the answer. “With men this is ini]xjssihie, but with God all things are possible." He alone can change the heart arid bind tho affections around him }Jt*lf as manifested in the finished work of Jesus. For when that is s«*eii—i. e.. when his Jove takes the heart captive—tho affections drop off from earthly things ami twine themselves around him, wiio redeemed us j from this prevail evil world, with his own) precious blood Daniel Hullo, a planter of Crawford . couutj-, Gn., icached tiie age of 100 years re- | cently, and bids fair to live for a quarter of tt century to eonie.

Bow man, Jr, at Bishopvillo on the 1‘Jth j of last December and with carrying j concealed weapons, was held hefore Trial Justice Stuckey hero to-day. The defendants were represented by Major I). B. Anderson and Mr. John T. Green. The case was cal'ed promptlj' at 12 o’clock, all the par ties Interested being present except A. S Rarrett, who had waived a preliminary examination and given bond at Bishopvillo yesterday in the sum of $800 for his appearance at the Court of Sessions. "Xyheij the case was called the sherilf, who had the warrants under which the defendants wero arrested, was not present, and new warrants were issued by the Court after some argument by the counsel for the de fence. This caused some delay, asui the hearing was not commenced until 1 o’clock. The examination on the part of the prosecution was con ducted by Mr. Peyton G. Bowman, Jr. After the cauclusion ef the tesli- fhony arguments for the defence were made by Mr. John T. Green and Major I). B. Anderson. Major An derson read quite a "number of authorities, but the arguments were chiefly confined to a review of the testimony. These gentlemen were followed by P. f*. Bowman, Jr, who delivered a short argument in which ie labored to prove a conspiracy on the part of John R. K‘els and D. E. Keels to kill him. On life conclusion of the arguments the Court announced that it wotib. require John It. Keels to give bond n the sum of $300 for his appearance for trial at Court; and that the ease ivainst D. E, Keels, would be dis- nissed. John It. Keella gave bond o-nigtit, Dr. H. T. Abbott, of Swim- taxes in the inCtal schedules was to take the changes proposed in the Randall bill in the last Congress. Mr. Randall will support no bill that puts wool on the free list or makes any substantial reduction anywhere in the tariff schedules aud the revenue reformers will report a bill that will provide for both. »So Mr. Randall stands just where he always has. The revenue reformers will go ahead without him- They are making a strong bill, thanks to the skillful mode tl|ey adopted MANUFACTUREIt.S NOT IGNORED. It is not true, as stated, that they have not given consideration to the representations and recommendations of manufacturers and those interested, in the tariff. They have given none of thu useless formal hearings which in former years delayed the prepara tion of a tariffbill without compen satory benefits to any one except the lobbyists, but every ^ manufacturer aud every oilier person who has any substantial interest in the matter be fore the committee, and who has manifested a desire to he heard bj’ the committee, Las been given op portunity to state his views, either verbally or in writing.
