TIE FEAST OF PURIM.-The Jewish festi-
val OF Purim will TO morrow unite the peo-
ple OF that faith throughout the land in
divine worship ani merrymaking. Ii comes
at the season when the Christian world has
given itself up ITO fasting and prayer; so
that in the present, as iE the past, the Jew
and the Christian complement each other.
Although Purim comes each year laden with
the gloom OF attempted persecution aud con-
sequent suffering, that picture OF rejoicing
that ensued when Haman's plans were foied
and he swung on his own gbbct by far
outshines those where fear turks in the
shadows and death stares from the back
ground. Haman is forgotten in the rcmcm-
brance OF MOrdecai, While all Israel unites
in esteem and affection for The myrtle Queen,
Esther. Purim has all the merrimeht OF
youth; It's inSnte variety has not been
wIthered by the centuries, and yet il has
only the mask Of the jester. It's heart is OF
Sterner stuff. 1t feels for the poor and the
suffering, and gives gladly and bountiiuIly
OF its fund of beneyolence. The c0ntrbu-
tiouS and collections in the Synagogucs and
at the various entertainments this year will

peared IN this Country. The distinctive
Purim yiands, 30 dear to the old-faShoned

ity here, but the deeper, truer, nObler >is.
nifcance Of the day has survived. The

The commencement at Roanoke College
the interesting points of which were tele-

the attendance upon it from all quarters
of the Uuion the national reputation
which this institution has attained. 1t

lions of learning as we see that out OF the
twenty-six students at the University Of
Virginia who took the degree Of Bachelor
of Law, three were graduates of Roanoke
