a constraint without. Inclination and obli-
cation flow in the same channel. Duty and
desire go hand in hand. Impulse and con-
science are turned TO the same key and
sound forth in accord and harmony. Love
and law have joined hands, and are going
on together love the moving principle, and
law the line of guidance Mercy and truth
have met together. Righteousness and
peace have kissed each other" But If the
spirit of love be not in the heart all con-
formity of conduct is dead and profitless.
If a selfish man observe the law from sell
fish motives he is in nowise transformed
thereby. He may be safer man to live
with, but. he is not better man.
When Paul saw that other law in his
members warning against the law of his
mind he cried in despair: THE good that
would, / do not; but the evil which l
would not, that / do. O, wretched man
that / am. who shall set me free from the
body of this death? / thank God it may
be done through Jesus Christ our Lord
The spirit of Christ in a mans heart will
attain the end Of the law of his life. For
God is love-" and love is the fulfilling of
the law" And love is free, and therefore
its law is the law Of liberty
There is therefore now no condemnation
to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the spirit. For
the law of the spirit of life hath set us free
from the law of sin and DEATH"

hearted man-the Butterworths ali are-and
the last man in the world to want to hurt
anybody. He wouldn't have hurt spider
except in self-defense, nor an Indian
neither. He just priced that rock down for
fun and cause he thought it would rest
him.
by gosh, what do you think? Before it
got to the bottom of the gulch he heard
an awful screaming and hollering. Nose
didn't know what to make of it. He never
had been down in the gulch and he didn't
know that any human being had. Yet he
heard that screaming and hollering. He
told me his hair just stood on end. For
Gods sake he said, I may be indicted for
'sault and battery with intent to kill. OF
course there was no grand jury there then
but that was Moses idea. He was a
Quaker, you know, and had awful rever-
ence for the law. After that he cooked his
supper and camped right, there. Bright and
early the next morning he was up and off
before the sun had peeked over the top of
the mountain. He wasn't hunting gold any
more: he wanted TO find out # he had hurt
anybody. Nose didn't care half much
fer gold as he let on. He left that noun
tain top determined to find out II that rock
had hurt anybody. Well, by gosh, it took
him two days to get down to the bottom
of the gulch and then he had to travel about
ten miles to get up to where the rock had
come down. Yes, sir, about ten miles, and
pectors camped right on the spot. They
had been there two weeks and were think
ing of pre-empting the valley. They were
glad to see Nose. The first thing he noticed
was that the trees had been moved down
on one side of the gulch and big lot of
earth plowed up on the other side. And.
by gosh, at the top of the furrow there
was the big rock. Nose saw at a glance
ii had plowed it's way through the camp
and up the other side. That accounted for
the hollerin'. But he was not the sort of
a man to give himself away. He was
Quaker, you know, yet he told me he trem-
bled from head to foot and the sweat run
down his legs. So he said in careless, in
different sort of way, like man asking for
the news: Hello what has happened
here?' oh. nothin,' said the head of the
campers; nothing, only few days ago the
mountain busted up yonder and rock
about as big as q haystack, came plungin'
down and plowed through the edge of our
camp and MP on the other side. You or't
to have seen US git! Was anybody hurt?'
asked Nose, lighting his pipe with branch
from the fire. Not SOUL said the cap
tain, and after the scare was over we all
had a good laugh Ben told me he never
felt so relieved in his life. He said if the
rolling down of that rock had hurt human
being, man, woman or child it was his
intention to shoot himself. And by gosh.
that's the kind of a man he was

HBOUT NOSE BUTTERWORTH.
His Experience I'm Tumbling a Stone
Down a Mountain.

ssDid YOU ever hear about Nose Butter
WORTH" The question was asked by a re-
spected old citizen u Indianapolis who saw
a good deal of the early developments of
the great West, and who has done almost
everything from trading with Indians and
hunting buffaloes to washing gold and
jumping mining claims. He has reformed
however and in Difference to his modesty
his name is withheld. The auditors admit
ted that they had never heard about Nose
Butterworth.
"Mose," said the narrator, came of the
Ohio family of Butterworths. They were
excellent people. Maj. Ben Butterworth
present commissioner of patents, is mem
Der OF the family. Nose was a cousin of
his Some of them are living in northern
Indiana now. / think Nose went West
from this State. Anyhow, ! knew him
when he was prospecting i'll Colorado. That
was back in the sixties, when a fellow ex-
pected to find gold every time he turned
over stone, One day Nose was out pros
pecting all by himself He hadn't struck a
thing and was awfully discouraged. All
at once he came to the end OF a ridge right
on the point of a precipice that looked down
about five hundred feet 1t was a regular
jumping-off place and right on the edge
was a rock about as big as q country
church, nicely balanced on a point Nose
pushed it and it rolled as if it would topple
over. by gosh said Nose, I'll roll that
rock down the gulch.' He didn't have
much to do you know, and was kind o.
tired anyhow. So what did he do but go
to work and get out some pieces of young
timber and worked till he got that rock
over the edge of the mountain. Yes, by
gosh, he did, and when it went laundering
down he laughed. Nose said it did him
good. He said the tops OF the heml0ck
and pine trees below looked long way off
but the rock just moved EN- down and
ploughed its way along. OF course it went
to the bottom, because nothing could stop
IT, Nose didn't care where it went He
didn't suppose there was anybody within
twenty miles of there. He was kind

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, TO Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indian
apoIfs Gentleman.

NO trouble is more common or l.lore mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring reme-
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight Of the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach so much as in nearly ev-
cry other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas. sour risings and
heartburn
Mr.. A. w. Sharper. of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to
write these few lines regarding the new and
valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. have been sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years; have used
various patent medicines and other reme-
dies without any favorable result. They
sometimes gave temporary relief until the
effects of the medicine wore off. / attributed
this to my sedentary habits being book
keeper, with little physical exercise, but
am glad to state that the tablets have over
come all these obstacles. fer l have gained
in flesh, sleep better and am better in every
way. The above is written, not for noto-
riety, but is based on actual fact. Respect
fully yours, A w. SHARPER,
81 Prospect Street. Indianapolis, Ind"
1t is safe to say that Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or
disease except cancer of the stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and APP
petite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heartburn,
constipation and headache.

diseases by addressing Stuart Co., Marshall,

Happy Love.

While they sat before the fire,
Nothing more did he desire,
Than to get a little higher,
If he could.
And his heart beat high and higher,
AS her look grew shy and shyer,
When he sided up close by her,
AS he should.
Then he ventured to inquire ~
If her sister, Jane Maria,
And her mother and her sire,
Were quite well.
And from time to time he'd eye her,
AS though he'd like to buy her,
AND his bashfulness was dire.
For spell.
Then his husky throat grew dryer
When he told her that the Squire
To himself would gladly tie her
If she would.
Might he now 20 ask her sire?
And he thought he would expire
When she said to AIS desire
That he could.

Rrazos County Crops.

Mr.. r. NJ. Nall, tax assessor,
gives us the following estimate on
the corn and cotton crop in this
county for the past two years
In 1897 the cotton acreage was
1900 acres; corn acreage 1865
acres. For the present year, 1898,
he makes the cotton acreage 40, ia
acres: corn, IS, sol acres.
This shows an increase Of about
9 per cent or 1858 acres Of land in
cultivation over last year; a de.
crease in the cotton acreage Of 4
per cent or lSS0.16 acres; an in
crease in the corn acreage of2O pei
cent or 1888 acres.
II will be seen the increase in
corn far exceeds the decrease IL
cotton, but this is caused by thu
increase Of land in cultivation sine
the last crop.
Corn is fine and farmers are mar
keting their old corn on account o
the magnificent prospects for tn
new crop. Cotton is spotted" o
irregular in condition and 10 day
late. A great deal Of raj, has fall
en- in most parts Of the county.
