LENT DRAWING TO A CLOSE. --Sunday next,
the 9Th of April is known as Palm Sunday, and
is the anniversary of the Saviours entrance
into Jerusalem, thus completing his three
great Offices OF prophet, priest and king
but from desire to commemorate the trI-
umphant entry, grew the custom OF bearing
palms, which we're blessed for the occasion, and
is the first day of the last week Of Lent called
Holy and Long Week, particularly called Pas
sion Week. Good Friday is succeeded by
Easter Even, the last day Of Lent 1t is a vigil.
The feast OF Easter Even was high Sabbath,
now it is but Saturday, upon which in quiet
and sadness the concluding services arc held.

that it is eminently so. This, however, we
cannot prevent, however much we may and do
condemn it. But in relation. to any fear that

very properly expressed their disapprobation OF

do. Il is however, highly probable, that this
K. K. K. is only local, temporary thing, in
Tennessee, and will not spread; as no consider
ate man in our State, or 10 the South, wishes
to increase agitation or excitement. Our peo-
pie are quiet, and desire to remain so. They
