EASTER DAY.

BY ST. JoHN OF DAMASCUS, A. d. 76O.
"Jesus met them, saying all Hail ?"
The day of resurrection
Earth, tell it out abroad
The passover of gladness,
The passover of God!
From death to life eternal,
From this world to the sky,
Our Christ has brought us over,
With hymns of victory.
Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see Alright
The Lord in rays eternal
OF resurrection light;
And, listening to his accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All Hailr' and, hearing,
May raise the victor strain.
Now let the heavens be joyful
Let earth her songs begin
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein
Invisible and visible,
Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Ca Toy that hath 10 end.

The Editor Takes a Rest.

Last week the tired editor, after laboring
hard in the vineyard, concluded that he
would go out among the brethren. While
down in the Dry Fork neighborhood we
preached at Ebenezer, and accompanied
Brother Sam Hayfoot home TO dinner.
There were several of the brethren present,
ana among them we were pleased to notice
old brother Shopwell He is an old servant
Of the Lord, and had the smallpox kept out
of the way, we think that his countenance
would have escaped great wrong. Sister
Hayfoot kind reader knows how to get up
good dinner. She has our idea Of ofcooking
cabbage, for, like Us, she thinks they should
not be boiled until all their brittleness
melst into the everlasting pot. After having
served the inner man we again assembled in
in the sitting room, where Sister Stoyeall
favored us with hymn and seventy-five
cents, for which she wanted six months
subscription. One dollar would have struck
us with little more warmth, but in these
days of sin and hard times half loaf Is
better than Boston cracker Brother
Smithfeld, good old soul as ever lived,
declares that he will take the paper when
he sells his red steer. Gentle reader, do
you know of any one who wants to buy
steer?-Arkdnsds Weekly.

DO YOU REMEMBER !?

Dear, do you remember lingering side by side,
Where in the midnight heavens the daylight
never died.
Where the waves recurrent music kept cadence
TO our thoughts,
And the hour and the silence our love 10 rap
ture wrought?
Dear, do you remember the fair and foolish
dream?
How life grew to enchantment beneath its gold
en- gleam2
While the pulses thrilled together to the clasp
ing of the hand,
And the moons path lay in silver on the sea
and on the sand
And, like phantoms DER its radiance, fitted
the shad0wy ships.
And love and life were meeting at the touching
of the lips
All me how fast it faded, that glittering heav-
ing path,
The glory of the skies above, as of the earth
beneath
The dream was false and tickle the hope an
idle thing,
The music died upon the notes, and snapped
the golden string.
Perhaps it had been wiser if nor heart nor lip
had met
Dear do you remember Pit were better to for

Tro' which He means His bounties TO deliver /;
Wealth. love, or learning 10 speed on their
course
To all this suffering world. He who retains
The riches OF his purse, or soul, OF brains
For his own use delies Gods grand endeavor,
And chokes with weeds of pride and selfish
ness,
And rank vile growths, the bcdway of that
river.
Whose stagnapt waters-meant to heal and
bless
Grow poisonous in their turbid overflow,
And breed disease and countless crimes and
Woe
Is thy life crowned by knowledge OF affection
Hast thou been prospered in a worldly way ?
In thy hearts channel gaze with close inspec-
ton
See if foul weeds fill up its course to-day.
Or do its wholesome waters run forth free,
So men may drink and share thy JOY with thee

The members of the board of trade VINO
have been staying away to avoid either the
eloquence Of or the putting themselves on
record on the county road question may
now return. as the matter has been settled.
Mai. Bassett had introduced a resolution
declaring against taxing the city for any
county roads: it was referred to the COM
mittee on city affairs, which brought in
report showing the amounts expended on
roads and recommending resolution de-
claring in favor of general road system
under competent engineering supervision,
opnosing the ''driblet' system of road re-
nairs and holding the city interested in
thoroughfares connecting with it. Maj
Bassett and Judge Atwater had jumped
upon the report and denounced the system
as a high-handed robbery of the poor tax
PAYERS of the city. who, at high valuation
and high rate of taxation, were compelled
to contribute to the county roads without
getting any benefits. AS result the mat
ter was sent back to the committee for
further information. At yesterday morn
ing'S session the committee submitted the
following report:
The taxes collected from the various
towns Of the county for road purposes are
shown in the following table:
