All hail the gladstone Easter Morn,
For which the spring-time's flowers are born
Earth wears her gayest robes to-day,
And casts her Leuten garb away.
Ring cut! ring cicarl
Ring far and near.
O, bells in stcoples high!
Ring III the dawn
Of Easter Morn,
Beneath a spring-time sky.
Bloom, lilies, on your slender stems
10 crown the day like diademS,
And lifting up your petals white,
Make Easter affairs glad and bright.
While ring so clear,
From far and near,
The bells in stecple high,
And glad hearts raise
Their songs of praise
B0aeath a spring times sky.

The Philadelphia Christian Statesman calls
attention to a paper read by Rev. DR.. Pierson,
of that city, before the Ministerial Tnion, sharp
ly criticising the type of piety which at present
prevails in the churches. We quote "Our
church life is undermined by worldliness. Be
tween the church and the world no line of sepa-
ration exists, except in the fact of church
membership Certain institution have
always been used by Satan to
ruin souls; for example, the theater,
opera, card table, horse race and dance. And
yet Satan, by his wiles. secures from intelligent
disciples sanction, if not an apology for these
gilded gateways to perdition and even per
suades some ministers to lend sanction to the
traps by which he takes the feet of the young.
Four-fifths of the nominal membership
of our churches add nothing to their real power;
they are either dead weight or a positive
hindrance to the advance of the gospel
The sanctity of the Lords day is but a
remnant, if not relic, of the past, and if this
process goes on, within the present century Sab
bath santifcation will be among the curiosities
of archaeology and pathology. There

Some Of our puzzles this week are rather
harder than desirable, yet we have given place
to them in order to make up a variety As we
have said before too difficult puzzles are not
read with so much interest by the majority of
our readers, as they are not old and experienced
in puZzledom But let all our solvers try to
solve the tough ones this week, with the easy
ones, and if they fail to solve all of them, they
will have a chance to win the sec
ond prize. We will however, urge
upon our correspondents to supply less
difficult work. if it is possible for them to do So
We desire principally charades, riddles, easy
cross words, acrostics with words of easy defni
tons and uniform length, numerical enigmas
without having many letters repeated, and
squares and diamonds containing less uncommon
words. We do not, however, desire to let our
rulings hinder any of our worthy contributors
from supplying with puzzles. Let all CON
tribute their articles, and we will dispose Of
them to the best of our ability
EVE LINwooD-Your puzzle work is ex-
hausted. Another supply would please US.
ORIANA gives us a new puzzle, it being letter

our posers to answer.
