makes the whole world kin. Sin
His name" those who cry publicly
FOR charity, those who hide sor-
row under smiling exterior, and
those who are encompsssed with
material and mental misfortune are
all joined with sympathy under the
shadows which darkens and yet
glorifes, Fasting penitence and
prayer are the proper signs Of a
world "sepulchred in gloom which
is now weeping for an event passed
but never forgotten; charity and
sympathy are the best manifesto
tions of the spirit Of Good Friday,
so that each will be comforted in
the knowledge that the shadow Of
the cross falls not on him alone,
but upon all in Christian fellow
ship.

EASTER.

"Christ is risen" "Christ is risen
ind eed!" was a common salutation
on Easter morning, when men were
prone to give utterance to the deep
est feelings of the heart and when
religious phrases were current to
every day language. Now, when
men are more taciturn, or more tim
id, or more reluctant to betray their
religious emotions, "Christ is risen"
Christ is risen, indeed!" is spoken
in symbols, is breathed through mu-
sic, is lived in silent prayer
Though the individual in these
modern times is not apt to shout
aloud his individual hallelujah nor
proclaim his isolated joy, one of the
greatest ecclesiastical festivals of
the year is not on that account
passed over with comparative neg
lect. The celebration Of Easter has
become u common Observance
through the whole Christian world,
no longer being regarded with dis
favor by stricter sects, but being
welcomed with its insignia of joy
by congregations Of all denomina-
lions. 1t is second only to Christ
mas in its welcome. Like Christ
mas it is time for rejoicing. The
sorrow of Lent bursts into the won
derfuI gladness of the Resurrec ton
and the promise of new life comes
to the old, unrenewed heart. The
most magnificent ceremonies that
the church affords, the most charac-
teristic forms of worship that ex-
press peace and joy belong to this
occasion. The brilliant professions
and Examinations of Rome, the flow
err bedecked minstrelsy of Switzer-
land, the gayest and purest customs
Of all countries are appropriate to
this day. Flowers, music, and SER
vices of praise mark its observance
II this country especially. Every
worshiper who partakes in the cele-
bration feels the hope uttered by
the lilies and roses, is quickened by
the in spiration of the hymns and an
thems, is sobered by the prayers.
If only these emotions could be last
ing, if the Easter promise and hope
would leave an inetfaceable impress
sion upon every saddened and des-
pondent nature, Christ would be
risen indeed. The gloomy world is
the sinful, pagan world; the joyful
is the Easter, Christian world.
w hen the day falls upon the latter
days of Spring the sympathy of ma
turc with the promise of Easter is
more apparent; even at this period
of the season there are signs of the
awakening, sufficient indeed to in
dictate the rising of new life in ma
ture, to point out the necessity of a
renewal of energy and the beauty
of the renewal of faith and hope In
man.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
[From oul Special Correspondent

tFrom oul Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 4, 1884.
Four months have passed since
the Forty-eighth Congress convened
and less actual work has been done
than by any Congress since the
foundation of the Government, in
the same time. The members Of
the lower House apparently take no
note Of time but from appearances
seem only determined to prevent
legislation and lengthen out the seS-
sion. They are having a jolly good
time among themselves and seem to
act on the principle that it is well to
let good enough alone; and fearing
that if anythlngis done it will prove
the very thing that ought not to
have been done, they have resolved
themselves into a body Of obstruc-
tionists.
Only few years ago, and all over
the land, the cry went up that Con
gress in legislating for the country
had failed to do its duty in not pro,
viding for the National defense in
that matter of building up navy.
1t is known that, isolated as it were
from the great powers Of the world,
on our own shores we are invincible,
and that no power would dare at
tempt to attack US on our own soil
however grave might be the provo
cation; but it is equally clear that
on the ocean and along our coast
line we are virtually at the mercy of
even the weaker powers of the earth

pocket the insults of even such in
significant nations as Spain and

ment, shall be compelled to take its

to compel the over sensitive States

On Monday last, on motion of
Congressman O'Hara, Hon. Robert
Smalls of South Carolina, was sworn
in as a member of the House. Mr..
Smalls, it will be remembered, was
elected to the vacancy caused by
the death Of Hon. Mr.. Mackey. He
is the only Republican Representa-
tive from South Carolina, and the
only colored man in the Congress,
Since Bruce left the Senate, that
body has not included a black man,
and it is likely that the day is far
distant before it will again. 1t may
be stated by the way, that Ex-Sena-
tor Bruce, whose name adorns our
national currency, is highly esteemed
in Washington, by Democrats no
less than by Republicans. He is a
man of quiet, unobtrusive, gentle
manly demeanor, intelligent and
honest as the day Is long. If the
black race embraced more of his
stamp, it would be brought to the
front by sheer force of merit.
The visit of General Grant to the
House of Representatives on Wed.
nesday last was a marked event
Ex-Speaker Randall arose in his
place and said: eve have the hon.
or of having with us on the floor to-
day Gen. Grant. There are nc
words needed to an American in SC
far as he is concerned; but we viii
do ourselves honor by taking re-
cess for fifteen minutes to give
members an opportunity of shaking
him by the hand" This speech was
greeted with applause and the recess
voted. Speaker Carlisle escorted
the General to the space il front o
the Speakers desk and introduced
him to the members as they pre-
scented themselves. This "gran(
old man" has the love, respect ant
esteem of all the millions of GU
people, and Mr.. Randall eloquent!
stated the situation in his brief bu
comprehensive little speech.

THE SHADOW OF TIE CROSS.

The day Of the Passion has again
taken its turn for remembrance in
the church's calendar, to be faith
fully observed by some, to be care
lessly thought Of by others, to be
neglected as far as sacred observan-
ces mean recollection, by many
more. In some countries, and in
one or two cities in our own country
Good Friday is holiday as well as
a holy day. From the earliest times
certain rites have marked its cele-
bration. Curious and apparently
meaningless observances have often
characterized it, as the practices Of
pagqniSm lingering in Christian
lands lost their pagan significance
but not their pagan forms; yet al
anost all obScrvances have been
marked by gloom and sorrow.
Worshipers llneel in silent awe and
sympathy as the suferings of the
Redeemer are brought to sorrowful
recollection. 1t Is the darkest hour
of Lent. Even in those whose re-
ligious feelings are not expressed in
outward symbols there arises a sym
pathetic emotion in unison with the
day and event. 1t is a solemn
thought that for centuries the shad-
ow Of the cross has rested upon the
world, adored even in its bitterness,
trusted even in its sorrow. 1t is an
impressive thought that beneath
that shadow the saints and martyrs
Of the world have given up theil
dives triumphantly, sending forth
their Words and thoughts as a shin
ing, reviyifying light through The
ages. Each Good Friday brings
to mind the struggles of the found
ers of the Christi an Church, and eV
cry recurrent conflict of religion
with obstinate and biased opinions
for trial, temptation and death have
marked out the path to religious
federation. Under the shadow Of
the cross live to-day all martyrs t.
conviction, all who suffer silently
for the maintaining Of their consci
entious beliefs under all circum
stances, all who are overwhelmed
with affection borne righteously
So, to-day, the best thoughts for it
remembrance are not given to th'
gloomy services in The church; no
are they fixed upon the contempIa
ton of death with fear and misgiv
ings. The best thoughts are thos'
of sympathy with the suffering tina
