Jewish OBsRRyANCB.-To-day the anniver-
sarv of the Fast of Esther and the Festival
of PurIm is being observed by our Jewish citi-
Gems The Festival of Esther was instituted by
the queen whose name 1t bears, and her rela-
tive Mordecai. the Jew, by whom Esther was
people at the peril OF her own life. Hafnan,
who was minister to King Ahasuerus C'thts
Lis Ahasuerus VINO relgnea from India even
twenty pro7inces') became full OF wrath and
Indignation because Mordecsi, who sat at the
king o gate, would not bow and doh Inn reverence,
and prevailed upon the king TO issue decree
to destroy, to KILL and TO cause to perish all
Jews both young and old, little children and
women, in one day, even upon the 18th day of
the twelfth month, which Is the month Of
Adar" Esther appeared before the king, and
by her eloquence aud charms prevailed over
the baTbarous schemes OF Haman, had the
decree revoked, and thus saved the Jewish
nation from destruction, Hence the fast of
the 18Th of Adar, or the DAY OF danger, which
hRs since received the name OF Esther. The
Festival of the Purlm was Instituted ,s at the
the same month, or according to the non
Hebraic calendar, on the Path and 25th OF
February. With the Jews this has always been
a period OF "feastirg and JOY, and of sending
portions one to another, and gifts to the poor."
