THE designs in Easter cards this
year are both novel and unique,
presenting a variety of coloring and
shapes which cannot fail to please
those of the most aesthetic and cul-
tured taste. The custom, which
has grown soeXtenSive of late years,
among those who entertain the ten
der feelings of love or friends hip
for each other, of sending these
beautiful mementOs of the resurrec-
ton morn of our Savior, bids fair
to be even more generally observed
this Easter than ever before. 1t
would seem, upon taking look at
the exquisite and beautiful designs
already displayed that the manu-
facturers had anticipated the extra
demand for something entirely new
and tasty, and had tried themselves.
We noticed a fine display of these
cards in the show-windows of Owen
x Moore.

The opalIan society.


| The above is the name of a recent.
! ly organized musical and literary
society at the Female Academy
which is composed exclusively Of
the young ladies of the advanced
grades of that excellent institution,
The society gave its first open SEES
sion on last Friday evening the
9th ult., before a select and appre-
ciative audience of the friends and
acquaintance of the young ladies
composing the society, who were
present by special invitation. The
evenings entertainment consisted OF
instrumental and vocal music, read

the society's official organ "The

was as follows:

surpassed in its interesting and en-
joyable features the usual academical
concerts which people are accus-
toned to attend nowadays, but
too feebly expresses the true senti-
ments of those who were so fortu-
nate as to attend this really charm
ing affair. Each separate piece on
the program was rendered i'm
manner quite pleasing to the
audience, and reflected great credit
upon the good taste and proficiency
of the young ladies. 'The Opalian
Journal" was bright, sparkling and
neWsy had the true professional
ring in dealing with matters local,
foreign and political, and judging
from the immense favor and APP
plause with which its brilliant pros

received by the audience, it will

have acted nobly, and many people
owe them a debt of gratitude. 1t
is said, they are carrying not only
their own customers, but also those
outside who failed to get supplies
by reason of the failures of other
merchants.
Myself and family have great
reason to be grateful to God and a
generOus-hearted people. Excellent
health, temporal wants supplied,
and kind friends, are blessings of
inestimable value. All these we
have. With turning to the Lord,
the outlook here is becoming hope
full. The cause of sobriety carries
the day. Peace and tranquility

LongFeIiovr.s Death.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
died at his old home at Cambridge,
Mass, ON last Friday, the oath uIt.,
after short illness of weeks du-
ration. The simple announcement
of his death caused pang of deep
sympathy and sorrow to fill the
hearts, not only of the American
people, but of the whole world,
wherever the English language is
spoken. He was seventy-five years
of age on the 9th of February last,
and passed away beneath the weight
of years and countless honOrs. He
was universally conceded to be the
greatest and truest poet America
has ever had. No poet, perhaps, of
any country or any age, has held
so exalted place in the affections
of his people as did Longfellow in
the hearts of the American people.
He wrote for all classes and the
sweet music of his matchless verses
awoke responsive chords as quickly
in the heart of the common reader
as that of the man of letters. He
was evidently a poet of the people
and wrote for the people; and there
fore he has to-day more readers and
warmer admirers than any other
American poet. His writings came
nearer home TO the hearts of man.
kind than any other writer of to-
day; indeed, it is this catholicity
of feeling which they express that
constitute their greatest charm, and
in thus keeping close to the heart
of human nature he won the love
and warmest appreciation of all
who read after him. A true inter-
prefer of our gentlest and nobler
feelings, his works will continue to
be read as long as the English Ian
guage lasts, and his memory will
ever be kept fresh and green in the
hearts of his countrymen.
He was buried at Cambridge on
Monday, with such simple but i'm
pressive ceremonies as befitted the
occasion.

To Candidates.

From and after this date we will not an
nounce candidates for county offices, or do
work for them without paymentin advance.
This step we deem advisable because ii is
much easier to pay these bills before tnan
after an election, especially If those for
whom work is done should be defeated.
Correspondents will not be allowed to give
candidates favorable mention in their let
tiers without paying the regular price, ten
cents a line each insertion, for all such mat
ter contained in their letters.
These rules will be strictly adhered to
There are now on our books considerable
sums contracted by candidates, that are un-
cOllectable, complication we desire TO
avoid in future.
