Liver is torpid the Bow

FUN FOR THE BEAR.

ROCHESTER, June 5.-John Robin
son, who runs a menagerie at On
tario Beach, on the shore of Lake
Ontario, went TO Buffalo few days
ago and bought bear. Bruin was
shipped on the Lyons accommoda-
ton train. The animal was in a
crate of rough boards, and was
seemingly secure. When the train
was nearing Chritenden, the messen-
ger noticed that the bear was un-
easy, and soon was terrified to see
the animal burst out of the cage and
come at him, growing furiously.
Tygart made a dash for the door OF
the car with the bear in close pur-
suit, but the messenger got out first
and slammed the door behind him.
He crawled upon the tender and
over to the locomotive and there he
stayed till the train reached here.
In the car were several barrels OF
fish, crates Of berries, crooks of but
ter and some boxes of fancy crackers,
and the bear proceeded to make an
elaborate lunch of them and to
amuse himself by tearing open and
destroying the express packages.
By the time the train reached Ro-
chester, the interior of the car look.

1t also states that the President

had been He which should have re-
deemed Israel" How pregnant this
sentence with troubled faith. He
who had led them and wrought be-
fore them the, mightiest miracles;
who had healed diseases and raised
the dead to life, had gone down to
the death and the stiffness of the
grave. o the mystery of it all !! The
Conquerer of Death vanquished by
his foe!
Instead of a throne and the triumph
of power, the ignominious death of
the cross! What wonder that pail
of spiritual gloom settled down upon
the hearts of those who had believed
in Jesus of Nazareth Turn whittier
they might, where should they find
helper?
But the morning breaks. Over the
green hills of Judea blow the first
faint breeze of the coming dawn. The
Auttering leaves tremble upon their
stems. But the world is silent. The
city sleeps; but through the still,
starry silence of the skies there is
the sweep of angel pinions. Even
the sacred sepulchre is deserted by
the worn and weeping disciples. Only
the stern sentinel soldiers of Rome
guard its silence. But 10! just ere
the day breaks angelic hands roll
away the stone from the door of the
tomb, and as the first Easter morn
ing dawns in its full tide of glory
over the Judean hills, there is ia risen
Christ, and death is forever van
quished.
Down through the long centuries
still sounds the joyful acclaim, 'The
Lord is risen l" Out of that open
grave sprang mans imperishable
hopes for immortality. Ont of that
open sepulchre Christendom, with all
its civilization, its regard for the
rights of man as man, and its idea
of sovereign citizenship has sprung.
All that is great and noble in the
race; all that tends to human glad
ness and hope received fresh strength
and renewal through Him who con-
quered death.
Well may we bring flowers and
sing our hymns of gladness on this,
the worlds most glorious anniversa-
ry, for "The Lord is risen!p

AS TO EASTER.-The fact that
Easter fallsOn a very early date this
year March 29) has caused a friend
of facts and figures TO collect some
curious statistics: .E'In 1883 Easter
fell on March %, aud lie will only
once again this century, namely, in
1884, fall on so early date. In the
three following centuries it will oc-
cur only eight times on the same
date-namely, 10 1851, 2O35, 2O46,
2067, .2114, 2125 and 2198. The
earliest date on which Easter can
fall is on March %, and this only in
case the moon is full Oh March 81,
when this date happens to fall on
Saturday. This combination of cir
cumstances is extremely rare. 1t
occurred in 1900, 1851 and 1917,
and will happen again in 1900, 2O76
and 2144, while during the three
following centuries it is not once on
the books at this early date. On
the other hand, Easter never falls
later than April 25. This was the
case In 1866, 1874 and 1886, aud
will enly happen once in the next
eentHry-namely, 10 1943.p-PaLL

The Bossier Banner, at the begin
ming of new volume, adopts pre-
eminently wise rule-if it will un-
swervingly adhere to it. That is
not to send out an Issue without
payment III advance. 1t is related
that many years ago the official of
the United States Senate whose
duty it was, sent to the New York
Herald list Of names to whom the
paper was to be sent but did not
send the money. Old Bennett CURLY
wrote in reply that a copy of the
Herald would not be sent to the
Bank of England without payment
in advance.
This is an excellent rule and if
adopted by the press generally there
would not be SO many newspaper
failures. 1t has always been matter
of surprise to us how general the
disposition is on the part of the pub
lie to evade the payment of the pitt
ful subscription price to the news
paper, though there is nothing in
the world so cheap. A man who is
prompt to pay his dry goods, gro
Gerry, hardware or drug bills will
Oftentimes resort to petty meanness
to shirk payment for his paper. Aud
this may be because he considers
the amount so triaing that it makes
little difference to the publisher,
ignoring the fact the latter must rely
upon the aggregate for support.
Unfortunately for himself, the
publisher is carried away by the de
sire to boast ga big subscription
list" and bankrupts himself to graf
ify the small vanity. There is no
sort of question but the credit sys-
tenn costs the newspaper business a
very much larger percentage than
any other business under the sun.
The publisher never stops to reflect
that the actual loss to him 10 raw
newspaper, postage, wrapping pa
per, the labor of the mailing clerk
and press work, for the benefit of
nOn.paying subscribers, equals, if it
does not exceed, the profits from
those who do pay. Again, the sub
scriber who promptly pays when the
travelling agent calls upon him
thinks he is doing all that could be
reasonably expected of him. But TO
collect these small bills, scattered
over large extent of territory, costs
the publisher % to 335 per cent, or
about all his profits.
However, this is an old song, aud
the singing of it will have about as
much effect as the advice to farmers
to diversity their crops, plant less
cotton aud live more at home. Tue
sad experience of an old newspaper
man is worth nothing to the young
one, who thinks he will food the
country with bis lucubratiODs and
so have the world in a swing.-AL-

ton viii be celebrated in all Christen-
dom. The time win be when ''every

TESS that He is Christ to the glory of
God the Father"
Man is by nature religious being.
The sense of worship is active within
him. Those who have travelled much,
and who are familiar with the most
savage tribes of men, assert that they
have never discovered a people whose
language had not some word express
sive of deity which they in some
sense regarded and worshipped.
But crude indeed is primitive mans
idea of divine sovereignty. The un-
important teachings of the race do not
comprehend infnity or eternity. Nor
do they convey the idea of absolute
holiness, justice and mercy.
Yet though the gods many are un-
satisfactory, the tendency to worship
Is not destroyed. Men everywhere
feel the necessity of making amends
Tor wrong done. The consciousness
OF sin and the need for its atonement
finds expression with heather peoples
in superstitious rites, offerings and
the penace of self-inficted torture.
Men have stood in public places un-
der the hot sun of India with up
lifted hands, until their arms have
grown withered and useless. Moth
.ers have tossed their innocent and
helpless babes into the swift waters of
the Ganges to appease the wrath of
some angry deity. Over vast desert
regions, under tropical skies that
burned like heated furnace, men
have crawled long, weary miles on
their hands and knees to their sacred
temples. Mighty Juggernauts have
made the earth red with the blood of
crushed and dying victims, who
sought Immortality through such ag-
onizing death. We find everywhere
this universal reaching out of the
human soul toward something be-
yond this life, combined with the
feeling of suppiance and need.
How grandly does the gospel of
divine love answer to this sense of
human yearning and spiritual power
t..
Almost nineteen hundred years
ago, when Rome was in the midst of
her splendid greatness; when the

Our Roads.
Richmond Dispatch.L

Richmond Dispstch.l
Beneath the lowest depth a lowel
depth yawns to. receive into its gap
ing bosom the unwsry traveller. who
; attempts to use the roads in this
State when they are in the condition
that now disgraces our highways, and
instead of inviting to Virginia set
tiers from other States, causes those
who visit US to hasten to get beyond
our borders.
How are we to get good roads
There is only one way in which they
can be obtained, and that is by pay
ing for them. All attempts to secure
them otherwise will necessarily fail,
as not only common sense teaches
US, but as the experience of the peo-
pie of every State in the American
Union and of every progressive
country in the world has demonstrat-
ed. Aud yet it might be said sys-
tenn of good roads would cost moth
ing; because to expend a million of
dollars upon their construction would
be to add more than million of dol
lars to the assessed value of the lands.
This is no extravaganza statement; for
this, as we think we have said here
tofore, is one of those cases in which
money thrown out of the window is
brought back through the door.
If the people are not willing to
pay for good roads they will never
have them. And there seems to be
the weak point all over the land.
The same story comes to us from
every State whose lawmakers. en-
deayor to keep the word of promise
to the ear and break it to the hope.
The roads everywhere are, we are
told, ''the merest makeshifts." So
they are in Virginia, and just at this
time they are impossible, or next to
impossible. Everywhere the people
want to get out of the mud, but, in
the words of the Philadelphia Times,
they seem to expect the ways and
means to fall like the gentle dew
from Heaven or the mama in the
wilderness, and by no means to be
raised by taxation. E'This is. the
sheerist nonsense; good roads will
cost money" in the beginning but
will cram it back into your pockets
in the end. Deprecated farm lands,
loss of time, wear and tear of 1ehi-
cles, horses and harness will be
heard of no more or at any rate in
a vastly reduced degree. Mr.. Ar
thur Kirk, of Pennsylvania, thinks it
would pay his State to invest six
millions of dollars a year in roads.
1t would pay Virginia to spend a
million of dollars year.
But can State which is afraid to
tax worthless ours, but chooses rath-
er to see the sheep industry" de
stroyed, be relied to levy tax for
the betterment of our roads? AS
General Washington said in his fare
well address, .Here perhaps we
ought to stop"
