PRINCIPLES and Rules.

1t has often been said, but can never be
said too often, that the Scripture is rather a
book of principles than of rules. Let us
clearly understand the difference. A rule of
duty sets us a definite task, a task which
wears one and the same aspect under the
circumstances, whose limits arc prescribed,
and whose nature there can be no mistaking.
"Thou shalt set the shewbread upon the
pure table before the Lord" This is rule;
it prescribes an action, clearly defined, and
never varying in its form. A principle on
the other hand, prescribes not an action but
a frame of spirit, a tone of mind, which will
develop itself differently under different cir
cumstances. "Honor thy father and thy
mother" is principle. The honor may be
shown in many different ways, by outward
marks Of respect, by attention to their wishes,
by praying for them, by giving them our
services when they are in difficulty by man.
fully refusing to be ashamed of them if they
move in lower sphere of life than ourselves.

Many persons have wondered how doing

young lady Of Washington, composed few
years ago galop and was at loss to give it
name One day being disturbed by children
in The room, she called out Don't make
such racket" which was caught up and re-
peated by the children as they went out. 1t
occurred to her that it was good name for
her piece, and so with touch OF French, she
called it the Racquet Galop," and over 200,.
600 copies Of il have been sold.

We nave 10 part from friends most true

Clothes may not make tho man, but
they have everything to do with his
general appearance. Enter a barber
shop any day when the chairs are full,
scan the heads OF the customers as they
lay back in tho chairs, with the towel
and duster close up to their ohins, form
your idea Of the appearance of the man
when he shall have stepped out on the
floor, and In nineteen cases out of
twenty you will be surprised. In the
first place all Idea Of his size Is hidden
under the duster. In recognizing q
friend you do so as much by his size
and manner as you do his features.
You readily recognize an acquaintance
from q rear view as he walks on ahead
Of you. In the barber shop you will
see a man with q massive No. 8 head,
and when no steps down you are as
much shocked to End that it is placed
on q 8 foot 9 inch body as to learn that
the boyish Oh head in the next chair is
on top Of q 6 foot body. You will sec
q noble, high browed head that you
are sure must belong to some distin-
guished lawyer, and you are knocked
out when a policeman or the engineer
from next door in his blue flannel
shirt energies from under the covers.
Another thing that m us me Is the
failure Of friends to recognize each
other while In the barber chairs, and
that happens twenty times a day, tho
recognition only following when one
or the other comes off the chair.-St.

By dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living.
A caprlcious appetite, heartburn, puzzl ling
nervous symptoms, increased action of
the heart after eating, sinking in the
abdomen between meals, and fatulence
after, are among the successive ildictd Of
this harrassing complaint. Two things
only are needful for its removal. A re-
sort to Hostetter's stomach bitters, and
persistence in its use. These remedial
measures being adopted. a sure is certain.
Taken Immediately before or after
meals, this great stomachic promotes Sc.
erosion of the gastric Juice, the natural
solvent, of the food. The nervous and
bilious symptoms consequent upon chronic
indigestion disappear, as the complaint
gradually yields to the corrective and in.
MIGRATING influence of the bitters. Ap.
petite returns, sleep becomes more re-
%freshing, and as a sequence, the body is
efficiently nourished, muscular power in
creases, and the mind grows sanguine.
Use the Bitters for chills and fever, and

Not a fit, but an expression of delight.
About a week age" says a Los Angeles,
Cal, druggist. "a Chinaman came in with
a lame shoulder. L sold him a bottle of
Chamberlain Pain Balm and guaranteed
that it would cure him. He came in again
last night, and as soon as he got inside
the door began to swing his arms over his
head like All Indian club swinger. |
thought the blamed fool had a fit, but he
finally stopped long enough to say: MED
icine velIy fine, velly fine; allie same make
me feel plenty good" Chamberlaln's
Pain Balm is without an equal for sprains,
rheumatism, aches. pains or lame back.
