The bride is beauti ful, but she is poor. She earned her liv ing ns a mill hand.

A S T O R Y O F JO U B E R T . In this issue is lent picture ami presented an excel- floor plan of the new Nassau (\m u ty Court House,designed by William B. Tubby A* B ro s ., the architects employed by Supervisors. The proposed building, as will be seen from the illustration, is a plain one with just enough ornamentation tu give it an imposing and tlnished appearance. In fact, the entire struc ture will be such as to warrant the pride of every resident of the county in which it is to he ‘ located. I am a tanner located near Stony Brook, o\yc of the most maUnous Xtotlictsin this Slate, and vns bothered w-ih m.iLiri.i for years, at times «oTcould not work, and was always very constipated as well. For «ean I had malaria so bad in the spring, 'when engaged in plowing, fl»«a | fntiiA do nothing but shake, i must have taken about a barrel efdtinine pills besides dozens of other remedies, but never obtained any permanent benefit. Last fall, in peach tim I h.<d a most setious S t u c k of chills and then commenced to take Ripans Tubules, u, on a Mend's sdvice, and the first box made me all right and I have never been without them since. I take one Tabule each morning and night •nd sometimes when I feel more than usually exhausted I take three in a day. They have kept mv stomach sweet, inv bowels regular and I have not had the least touch o f malaria nor splitting headache since I commenced using them. I know also that 1 sleep better and wake up more refieshed than formerly. I don't know how many complaints abules will help, bull do know thev will cure any one in the _______ j | was end I would not be without them at any price. I honestly consider them the cheapest-priced medicine in the world, as they are also the most beneficial and the most convenient to take. 1 am twenty-seven years of age and have worked hard all my life, the gam f as most linnets, both early and late and in all kinds ot weather, and l have never enjoyed such good health as I have since last fall ; in bet. my neighbors have alt remarked my improved condition and have tmd. ‘•Say.Tohn. what are you doing to look so healthy ? \ i f i £ $ h u r - ; s ^ i ^ t e s W h y H e W o n l d R a t h e r Bee O B I r e r f K i l l e d T h a n P r i v a t e s .

P o p u l a r i t y o f th e L a w S h o w n In D e b a t e o n D e f ic ie n c y U t i l . The popularity of the rural free deliv ery service was manifest in Congress when the defleieucy of ♦150,000 for that service for the fiscal year was under discussion. The last Postal Appropriation bill set aside for this experiment *300,000. and it was because the actual expenses promised to be *30,000 greater, and that demands for the extension of the service were made, calling for *100,000, that the appropriation whs so heartily supported. In the bill for 1900-1901 It Is estimated that the appropri ation will be from $600,000 to *1,000,000 for tills service. Those who have tried the rural free de livery system, particularly farmers, who were In the habit of making two or three trips to the postoffice in a week, and now have a free delivery at their homes dally, much prefer to have mnil m atter brought to them .

John 2: 1-12. From here He went to Jerusalem to attend tbe first Passover of His m inis try. John 2; 13 At Jerusalem He assorted Ills authority by cleansing the temple from the traders. John 2: 14-22. 1. \Of the Pharisees.” A very strict and religious sect of the Jews. Thdy were o r thodox nnd believed iu the immortality of the soul and a future state. They laid grent stress upon th e ir traditions, esteem ing them ns highly ns they did the Serin- lures. They expected the Messiah would bo a tem p o ral deliverer and king, and were geuerally looking for Him. \Nloo- demus.” A rich ruler of the Jews, a P h a r isee and a member of the Sanhedrin, the supreme council of the Je' 2. ‘‘Came to Jos iwlsh nation, by night.” The act le had brought Christ le plain Inference, is, •formed miracles that d performed miracles th at are not mentioned by the Bible writers. He came privately, by night, \as nu act ol prudence aud discretion.” The interest ing point is not why he on me by night, but that he came at all. \Rabbi.” Tills was showing great respect to one who had not been educated in th e rabbinical schools. \A teacher come from God.” This was a complete endorsement of Jesus and Hie work, aud now, having thus endorsed Him, ho was under greater obligations to accept the tru th th a t Jesus was about to proclaim. 3. \Verily verily.\ Expresses the truth aud unchanging validity of what was about to be spoken. Tills was considered oi equal Import with the most solemn oath. \1 say unto thee.\ Jesus here entered Into the very heart ol! gospel truth. He did not undertake to preach a pleasing sermon in order to make a new disciple of till? \m u ster in Israel,” but gave a personal, thorough, heart-searching talk, in which Nlcodomus was made to he was not in the kiugdom because ho was a plot! etlomus was made t understand that in th e kingd of God simply \Jesus met with another *e!

As the natural birth iutrodiess us into n atural life, opeus our natural senses, and prepares us tc enjoy natural things; so the spiritual birth Introduces us into spiritual life, opens our spiritual senses, ami prepares us to enjoy spiritual things. \Cannot so*.’’ Enjoy, share in, enter.

Wa th e term \ w a 1. W ater, washing aud cleansing are figurative ex pressions used in Scripture to denote a spiritual operation ou man's heart. It Is not necessary th a t we shouli understand two different things, as this Is probably only nn elliptical form of speech for the Holy Spirit under the similitude of water. t und er th e similitude of water. 2. A number of expositors think the water has reference to Christian baptism. 3. TI isslon refers to «r ristlan baptism . 3. The expression refers to J o h n ’s baptism, which was unto repentance, and was alone known to Nlcodeuius. The last comment has u n doubtedly tno correct explanation. Jesus simply said to Nlctroemus, You must thor oughly repent nnd be born from above. ti. \Of t i n flesh Is flesh.\ Like produces like with regard to both flesh and spirit. Wo are thoroughly fallen, an 1 a clean thing cannot come from nu unclean. 7. \Marvel not.” Do not wonder at this, there are many things you do not under stand. Thou ennst not even understand the blowing of the xviud. \So is every one.” As with the wind the Spirit's opara- tions are invisible, beyond our discovery, and known only by its offoets. V. \How can these things bo?” He could not comprehend s p iritual things. 10. \A m aster oj Israel.” One who had studied the Old ‘I'estam eut as he had, and thought so much, nnd accepted the posi tion of teacher, o u g h t to have known these probab will: hi e.” Edersheim thinks that In nil ty St.John was present during this tervlew. \D o know.” Ho spoke greatest possible assurance. Not upon hearsay b ut from personal knowledge, “ i e receive not our witness.\ They re ceived His miracles us genuine, yet refused to accept the spiritual truths He taught. Vo is always plural and this is spoken with reforenco to the class to which Nicodemus belonged. 12. \How shall yo believe.” If you do not believe the first principles—the be ginnings of gospel t r u t h —how shall yo be lieve if I continue the subject farther aud toll you of the deeper thing*, the heavenly things, such as \My divinity (v. 13); the atonement (v. 14): salvation by laith (v. 15)} flio great love ot God (v. 16)?” 13. “And no man. e tc.” There was a false notion among the Jews that Moses hau ascended up to heaven to get the law. Jesus lu effect says, No one. not even Moses, hath ascended up to heaven to search out heavenly things; bat the Hon ol Man has dwelt \ from all eternity in the bosom of the Father,\ and has come direct from heaven. \In Heaven.” He Is omni present, filling heaven and earth xvlth His presence, nnd even now Is iu heaven. 14. \T.te 8 irpeut.” Nam. 21: 4 9.

Tbo disease manifests some pe culiar features, too, for it is much less v iru lent than usual, nnd In many cases delay in com bating It bus vaulted from its being at first taken for chicken pox. While there are many cases there are few d eaths. The epidemic seems to avoid tbe large cities, and, passing o\'er the centres of popula tion, to strike into small country towns and villages. Chicago, for instance, has had fewer than a dozen cases this year, but at least 700 have been reported tUropgboui Houthorn llllrols, of which ouly four have resulted fatally. A geuerally accepted theory Is that the disease has been brought from Cuba Puerto Rico aud tbe Philippines by return ing soldiers.
