Easter Eggs.

Easter comes very early indeed this
year; upon the 25th Of March, which is
almost as early as it can ever be. and be-
fore long, children will begin to think
about preparing what in old times used
to he called paas eggs. 1t is good plan
too, for the egg colorers Of neighbor-
hood to hold a sort Of ''bee," and unite
in the production of the dyes, thus say
ing time and money
The exchange of eggs between friends,
as a token Of love or friendship, is very
ancient custom, dating back almost to
the flood, fer it is a symbol Of the ark, as
as well as OF the resurrection, which is
the reason that we present them at Eas-
ter. 1t is moreover very universal Gus
tom prevailing among different nations
and religions. The Jews placed eggs on
their Passover tables, the Druids used
them in their ceremonies, and the Per-
slams frequently give them as New Years
gifts If you should happen to be in Rus
sia this month, Russian would greet
you on Easter morning with "Christ is
risen," and offer you an Easter egg-and
stranger still, if you were in the far East.

"Stealing Il Minister. -

We quote the closing sentences from an
editorial. entitled stealing Minister" in the
Century for March.
The church that calls 4 settled minister is said
to be guilty of an act precisely like that of the
woman who hires the cook out of your kitchen.
But if there is any wrong in this case. it is in
the fact that your cook is ignorant and easily
imposed upon that the woman who has coaNed
her away offers her no better place. and thus
INJURIES you without bcnetltin@ YOUR servant. If
the servant is able to judge for herself. and
knows that She Is improving her condition by
the change. what right have YOU to stand in the
way of her going, or 10 complain of another for
giving her what YOU withheld: This kind of
outcry Is never heard concerning any class of
employees save those who are assumed to be
unable to choose wisely for themselves The
cashier of a bank, the superintendent Of a rail
road. Is called from one place to another. and
nobody ever thinks of questioning his right to
60 or the right Of another employer to offer
him employment. There seems to be no good
reason why the minister should not be credited
with as much Judgment, and allowed as much
liberty, as is granted to Il bank cashier on a
railroad superintendent
There seems, then, to be no other method for
a church to pursue, if it wishes to keep its min
iSter, than that which every employer must
pursue who wishes to retain Il valued servant.
The church must keep its part of the contract,
must that its minister is not oVcrWorked,
must cooperate with him in all possible ways.
must show him that his abors are appreciated,
and that his welfare is fairly considered IT,
after the church has done all this, the minister
goes away common sense will bring the church
to one of two conclusions it will either bow to
the prOVldentlal decree that has removed Il
faithful teacher, or il will thank God that it is
rid of rter.

Our Unjust Fishing Treaty.

The Senate joint resolution providing for the
termination OF the lshln@ clauses of the treaty
of Washington, which was passed by the House
last week. was faVorabiy reported by the COM
mittee on foreign affairs through Mr. Rice. The
report states that the termination before May,
1873, is necessary to avoid the liability of the
United States to pay another compensation to
Great Britain on demand similer to that which
led to the payment of $5,500,000 awarded by
the Halifax commission. The report states
that the Canadian fisheries are no longer of
special importance to US; that fishermen would
prefer to pay $50 license required for fishing
on Canadian grounds should they want to fish
there rather than be subjected to the veXatious
conditions of the treaty.

MILFORD, Delaware, Feb. %, 1888. Perhap,
we have been rather negligent of late in regard
to our correspondence, but we have had so
many things to think of that little time has been
left for this work. Presume that you are among
the snow drifts in Maine yet Here there is no
snow whatever now, and it seems like our
spring weather in Maine. The ground freezes
each night, but thaws quickly each morning,
and it is muddy during the day There is but
little frost in the ground and we see them cart
ing dirt in many places. This is the time of
year they do that kind of work. As one visits
the farmers he is surprised at their slackness in
caring for their stock. The cattle are turned
into yards, with only matched sheds in many
Instances to protect them from the inclemency
OF the weather, and they feed from large rcks
which are KEEP, filled with straw. We see little
hay in this pat of the state. The horses and
mules are generally fed upon corn fodder, the
butts of which are thrown into the yard for
manure. A barn 20X3O, with twelve foot posts.
is big here. And when we suggested to Il burly
FARMER the olher Gay that a northern man would
build barns for his stock and fodder, he con-
temptuou>y Y replied that no barn could be built
large enough to hold his fodder He is worth
twenty thousand dollars, but Il, we looked at
hlS miserable tumbledoWn outbuildingS and eN-
amined his rough. >curYy looking cattle. we
thought that barn 40Nl00, with twenty foot
posts, would be better than bank investment
Tor nm But the men born here have grown
rp in this sluycuIy way, and don't seem to
know how to DO differently, There are many
northern men coming in here. however. mostly
from Pennsylvania and New York, and they AZ
