A full heart and n closed miyjuth agree jill together. Acts iv. 20: "He is only a mocker that calls Gal his Lord, yet obeys not ing (they deiy the Lord). With many this confession is the thoughtless Ian- guage of custom (they are Christian in name). With some it is only an as- sumed pretence of godliness (hypo- crites).

A Jefferson, Ia., despatch says: The Dioodiest episode im the history of reen county was enacted near Palon last night. As John Brown, a re- spected and peaceable farmer, Was sitting in his home about 9 o'clock there was a knock at the decr, and, supposing a neighbor had come to spend an hour, he opened the door, only to look in the muzzle of a double- barreled shotgun levelled by his neigh- bor, John Fleck. He knocked aside the weapon and jumped upon his as- 6ailant. The gun feli witnout having been discharged and the two men ppled and went down. At this juncture a new factor ap- peared in the person of George, the 17*year-cld son of Fleck, who had ac- companied his father upon his mur- derous errand. George carried a six- shooter in each and was no sconer in the house thap he began shor Brown was shot in vhe cheek and -- received a bullet bar tot the haad. had the echo of the cshots Wm entered the ho use and young Fleck began pouring lead into him, One bullet taking eifect pel the breast _ above the heart another currying away a big ehank of skin from his forehead.

He dealt Fleck "on the head, rendering him in- oenalbie. and then turned his atten- tion to his injured brother. As soon as the elder Brown recovered suffi- ciently to take a hand he seized a bottle containing powder that had. fallen one Fleck's overapat, and aunashed over the latter's head. Then, suing the jagged bottle he punched and uged at the latter's face and head until it was literally a@ mass of puip.
