HILLIARD,' Editor and Proprietor VOL. XI. A NEW DECEPTION. which the people of the South are resenting, is the efforts of some to sell them imitations for the real Simmons Liver Regu lator, because they make more money by the imitation ; and they care little that they swindle the people in selling them an inferior article. It's the money they are after, and the people can look out for themselves. Now this is just what the people are doing, and merchants are having a hard time trying to get people to take the stuff they offer them in place of Simmons Liver Reg ulator which is the " King of Liver Medicfhes," because it never fails to give relief in all liver troubles. Be sure that you get Simmons Liver Regulator. You Know it by old stamp Z on the It has ed you, . ... the same lM of the Red package, never fail and people been per who have suaded to take something else have always come back again to The Old Friend. Better not take any thing else but that made by J. H. Zeilix & Co., Philadelphia. BE CAREFUL. HOW yOU SPEAK OF OTHERS. (Xeie Berne Journal.') In speaking of a person's faults, Pray don't forget your own ; Rememher, those with homes of glass Should never throw a ftone. If we have nothing else to 'to Than talk of those who sin ; 'Tis better to commence at home, And from that point begin. AVe have no right to judge a man Until he's fairly tried : Should we not like his company, AVe know the world is wide. Some may have faults (and who has not?) The old as well as young ; Perhaps we may, for aught we know, Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of a hetter plan, I find it works full well ; To try my own defects to cure Ere others' faults I tell. And though I some times nope to be No worse than some I know, My own shortcomings bid me let The faults of others go. Then 1st us all, when we begin To slander friend or foe, Think of the harm one word may do To those who hetter know. Remember, blunders sometimes, like Our chickens, -'roost at home Don't speak of others' faults until We have none of our own. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract : "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re sults were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. AVhile I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with phneumoma succeeding La grippe. Terrible par oxysms ot coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A riend recommended Dr. King's New- Disco verv.it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results." Trial bottles free at E. T. Whitehead fc Cos Drug Store. Regular size 50c and -f I. Then happy those, since each must drain his share of pleasure, share of pain ; then happy those beloved of heaven to whom the mingled cup is given, whose lenient sorrows find re lief, whose joys are chastened by their grief.

Let Us Up And Da. BY UK V. N. II. I). WILSON. hile the work of Christian Mis sions lias been very large during the lat century and especially during ring the last half century in compari son to what had Ieen done during the eighteen cnturies which preceded this, the efforts of the church have been and are disgracefully small in view of her size and wealth, and the imperative need of th world. Let every Christ ian heart join in praise ior what has been done ; but lt each heart search and see if it has not occasion for tear ful repentance for personal responsibil ity in what has not been done. The world's needa. AVhat words can adequately portray this need? Look around you. How small a proportion oi our own favored land of churches and open Bibles have found in Christ their all in all ! How stupemdous the work of reaching the faithless and the immoral in Christendom. In this work 130,000 ordained ministers and many thousands more of Christian teachers and other consecrated Christ ian workers, are laboring with increas ing energy and system. But how slow their progress ! Outside' ot Christen dom how vast the harvest and how few the laborers ! ess than one third of the world's population are nominally Christians. In this number are Protes tants, Romanists, Greeks, Armenians, Syrians, Malchites, Copts, Abysinians, and their adherents. The religion of some of these, though called Christian, is scarcel' to be distinguished from pa ganism, while of those even in our own civilized and Protestant land, nearly every one ot whose inhabitants are counted "Christians," how few have a saving knowledge of Christ ! After nearly nineteen centuries of Christian preaching less than one third of the world's inhabitants nominally Christ ians and a vastly' smaller proportion really Christians. But if Ave are appall ed when we include in our considera tion all the world, what shall we say if we look alone from Africa to Asia? Of Africa's 170 millions, only 5 millions are nominally Christian. Only one nominal Christian to every 33 heathen. Of Asia's 832 millions, only 19 J mil lions are nominal Christians ; only 1 to 43 heathen. But with what agony must he who wept over Jerusalem, look upon China ! AA'ith nearly one-third of the world in its bounds, it has less than 60,- 000 Protestant communicants one rrotestant Christian to 8,000 heathen. But not in "Darkest Africa," nor in Asia which is even darker, not in poor, humbled, cringing China is found the most appalling picture to him who loves his fellow man, his fellow man across the seas as well as in his own country ; this most discoursing and de pressing sign is the listlessness and sel fishness of the Christian church. The indifference of the great mass of "Christians" to the world's needs is as tounding. The selfishness with which they layish means on their bodies, and sometimes squander them on their lusts and doJe out their pittance, their widow's mites, for the salvation of the world, is appalling and disgraceful. Perchance the reader thinks my pen is wild and my words exaggerated. Let us see. Christendom sends 9,000 mis sionaries to preach to over a billion dy ing in heathen darkness, but keeps 130,000, more than 14 times as many, to preach to her own people less than half in number. The vast Empire of China has one minister to 400,000 population ; the Christians of the United States, support for themselves one for every 700 of population. Is this not disgrace ful selfishness in spiritual things? But worse Christian United States expends for the salvation of the world beyond her borders $7,000,000 per annum; her drink bill is $900,000,000 annual ly. Is not this both appalling and dis graceful? But to come nearer home The Southern Methodist church, one f the largest and wealthiest in our Southland, whose beautiful and often magnificent houses or worship shelter EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. weekly a noble army of Christian wor shippers, among whom ;re numbered many of our wealthiest citiiene, gave la.t year for the salvation of the world outside of the United States, the ex travagant sum of eleven cents i?r mem ber. How vast, truly, i the liberality of this great people ! I do not hingle out my own church because it is of all men most disgracefully stingy, but I e cause, though some other churches ex cel, the want of liberality oi our branch of Christ's church is, all things consid ered, representative of that of all Christians in our State. But if the na tion is disgraced by her conduct in this matter, if our beloved section is. alas ! even more culpable, how is it with the individual? A few questions answered in the candor of truth to your own cosclence, my brother, will decide your own case. Let us substitute for the usual term "missions," its equivalent "the salvation of the world." I wish the substitution were always made in your minds. Have you given as much ior the salvation of the world as you have been forced to pay for the sup port of the government? Then is Caesar more to you than Christ? Have you given as much for the salvation of the world at to adorn yvnr own body ? Or to satisfy your appetite for luxuries of food? Or even what you have wast ed for tobacco, or snuff, or worse? Then are the cries of your lower na ture and even ot your lowest nature, more to you than the vast unuttered cry of the world's need? If your own heart condemn you, shall not God, who is greater than your heart, who under stands the length and breadth and depth of the need of the sinning, dy ing world as only infinite mind can understand, shall not God condemn you? "Why Our Farmer9 Keep Poor. Leake sville Herald. If there is any class of men that has our sympathy it is the farmers of this country. They hold the reins of the universe, but don't seem to know it. They prefer to mortgage themselves and live slaves for the capitalist work ing day after day and, we might say, night after night for the western corn and meat grower, paying at this writ ing 9 ct. per pound for bacon and G5 cts. per bushel ior corn, $4.00 per bbl. for flour. What have you to pay with only- realizing fcr your tobacco about $3.00 per hundred? Suely you have never given the matter a proper thought. Make your farms self sustaining. AVe cannot impress too strongly the importance of raising your own meat and bread. Don't bring tobacco in question until this is done. Prepare your land for corn better than ever, gather up your barn-yard manure, give your land proper drain age, plow deeper and oftener and note the result. Let these dark hours of low priced tobacco be a warnidg to all farmers. Remember, this year when purchasing your fertilizers and mort gaging your crops to the Richmond or Baltimore capitalists ask yourself this question. "Am 1 doing justice to ray wife and children working them al most day and night solely to mak this the greatest of all curses, tobacco?" The good Lord will not bless you In such management. Your horses are now too poor to make a crop simply because they do not thrive well on $3.00 tobacco. Do you think for one moment, Cain and Abel, in their day, had to call on their grocer for every bushel of meal, potatoes, cabbage, every pound of meat, etc., they consumed? Xo, not a bit oi it, and the same ruler is ruling to-day. You have the same soil as in years gone by, the same hght irom heaven. The rain-comes in all its purity and you have the same 3G5 days to make one year, divided, ae of okLspring, sum mer, fall and winter and what is the trouble? AVe have changed gotten out of the good old way of living at home. AA'e are a class of undutiiul children. AA'e have wandered away from the path of duty. Let us in the year '95 return as the prodigal, make our farms seli sustain ing with plenty of corn and meat and then what tobacco we can and that eood. then you have our word for it, peace, prosperity and happiness will reign supreme in our homes once more.

That some sort of an Encyclopedia l a necessity, a!) must acknowledge. That th great BritaNNICA Is the very best Encyclo pedia, none will deny. Only Its great cost f 125 for the Scribner Edition. $oo for the Edinburgh Edition has prevented its purchas heretofore. At these prices none but the rich could afford to own It. W'e offer for a limited time to the readers of The Observer an edition superior even to the costly Edinburgh Edition at the unheard of introductory rata of TEN CENTS A DAY For this small outlay you can secure thes at Royal octavo volumes, complete and un abridged, revised to date. The Britar.r.ica Itself needs no endorsement. For 119 years Ii has stood the crowning work of our English language, the noblest work in alt literature the one only adequate representative of the advanced thought and scholarship of the world It is tha only Encyclopaf dia in which each principal subject Is treated by an acknowledges authority upon that subject. No other Encyclopedia has given Ten Thousand Dollart for a single article, nor Six Hundred Dollars a page for written matter. The fact that $3,000,000 Was expended in Its preparation, requiring tha labor of 2,000 of the world's greatest scholars, tells the story of its exalted superiority. Over 600 American authors were employed on American subjects and American institutions. The Edfltaoo We Offer To our readers comprises many features worthj of special mention. 1. A thorough equipment of new traps up to date, costing Sjo.ooo to produce. a. The American Copyright Articles, re written to date by eminent American writers.

But the crowning feature of this Edition ts its American Additions and Revisions, prepared under the supervision of that widely known Encyclopa-dic Editor. W. H. DLPL'Y. D.D., LL. D., assisted by a corps of trained writers, thoroughly revising the entire work to date. Not only are all Scientific and Historical Subjects brought absolutely up to date, but a vast fund of new information is added, relating to the material, social, industrial and educational progress of the world, together ith many thousand New Biographies not in the original Edition nor in any other Encyclopaedia.
