Value of a Christian Conscience.

Value of a Christian Conscience.
Every Christian father or mother
who has ever heard the click of the
latch Chat cruel pistol shot aimed
at the heart,) as it springs for the
last time behind son or daughter
going forth into the world, knows
that the most blessed balm for the
wounded heart is the assurance
that the loved one carries the sur.
est antidote against moral poison,
that safeguard against moral con-
tagion-a Christian conscience. Yet
how many are left with the bitter
thought that they have neglected
to inculcate this principle. But
you fathers and mothers who yet
have your little ones about you,
see to it, before the heartaches
come, which shall start a hitherto
unopened fountain of tears, that
those tears are robbed of this bit
terness.

Obituary.

John Bunyan Murry, second son of Mir. and Mrs. Jasper Murry, was born in Union parish, La, July 6, 1869, and died from pistol shot in his own hand July 2S, 1891, at the home of his mother near Laneburg, Nevada county, Ark,
 The writer having been intimately acquainted with the deceased from carly childhood feels that it IS hardly possible to say too much in praise of his many admirable traits and yir- tues, He was truly model young man, possessing all the ennobling eIe- ments that go to constitute a true gentleman, and was deservedly pop ular and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was so affablc, so ciable and kindly disposed that none knew him but to love and respect him. From early boyhood he has ever manifested great desire for knowledge, and has exerted all ener- gy and put forth every effort to ac- quirc a finished education. He was untiringly studious, and 30 eager was he to rise to mental distinction, at times lie would seemingly grow impatient, and it is thought that to this was largely due the cause of the alteration of mind from winch he was sufferind when he cut the brittle thread of his seemingly happy life. We would draw veil over the heart-rcnding circumstances attend ing his sad, deplorable and untime- ly death, aud look only at his spot less and untarnished character and many noble tralts, and would hold him up to our rising young men as one worthy of emulation. He recent ly manifested considerable concern in the interest of his soul and only a day or two prior to his death eX- pressed the desire to unite with the church the first opportunity. His mortal remains were inferred with Masonic honors in the cemetery at Mt. Pisgah church and witnessed by a large concourse of weeping friends and relatives. The widowed mother, brothers and sister, and many other relatives, have the sympathles of scores of friends in this, their sad dcst hour of life.

Throws it of.

There is no disease more disagree able and uncomfortable than catarrh. It attacks the young and the old, and it is too often allowed to take ts course. In such cases it frequently becomes dangerous. The poison extends to the throat and lungs, re- sulting in complications that are not readily overcome. All forms of catsrh, however, disappear before $. s. S., and that medicine is now recogized as an almost infallible rem edy for the disease. It regulates the liver, improves the digestion, and brings about conditions that enable the system to throw off the malady. Catarrh and it's attendant aggrava- tions disappear before $. $. s., and do all other di. eases that grow out of a bad liver and impure blood.
