Resurrection of Christ,

THE resurrection of Christ is dem
onstration of future state after this
life, and pledge of blessed i'm
mortality in another world. For our
Lord by His resurrection from the dead
has conquered death and abolished it.
and brought life and immortality to
light The belief of future state
after this life should put us upon the
most earnest and vigorous endeavors
to secure this happy condition to our
selves; If by any means us the apos-

resurrection of the dead 1t should

AN EASTER OMELET.
by ELISA ARMSTRONG.

II was Easter morning, bright and
sunshiny, but on the brow of Mrs. Van
Squiggles rested cloud betraying an
guish dark and deep, In the adjoin-
ing room the children laughed as they
searched for the hats which are, as
everybody knows, filed with eggs by
the rabbits on the night preceding
Easter and then discreetly hidden. Be-
hind his paper Mr.. Van Squigg.es con-
cealed smile which deepened with
every one of his wifc's signs.
Lovely morning" he remarked.

on which no woman having a new bon
net could he detained from church. 1t

"Oh, laugh if you like! Doubtless it

seven times that you would stop at the

The wan and aged Winter lay;
With lean hands folded blear eyes sealed,
His scant and matted locks close prcst
Against his sunken temples and
His rigid limbs composed to rest,
The pine trees rocked their slender forms
And blent their moaning notes o'erhead;
The north wind howled about the tomb
And mourned and Knocked the noble dead;
A wreath OF faded withered flow RS
Beneath the fallen leaves half hid,
And bathed in natures icy tears
Rcposel upon his coffin lid
But, 10. the golden sunlight stopped
And kissed the grievng pines above;
The gentle south wind wandered by
And whispered OF undying love
1t touched the sleepers clammy brow,
Caressed him with its balmy breath,
Until he stirred his pulseless limbs
And struggled with the bonds OF death
II cast aside tho withCred flowrs
That rested on the dreamers tomb,
And wound about his breathing form
a wreath Of fresh and fragrant bloom:
Rebuked the bowling polar wind
And sent IL to the dist north,
Swung wide the portal OF the grave
And jocund, odorous Spring came FORTH
The seasons resurrection. And
The ncw-triumphant DER the mold
And dank decay OF natures tomb

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Extreme dull
ness characterized dealings at the stock
exchange during the greater part of the
day. The sales reached the small total of
$4,000 shares against 173, 600 yesterday
and the great bulk of the business was
in five stocks-St. Paul, Sugar, Burling-
ton, Western Union and Louisville and
notwithstanding for over 100000
shares. The bulls had the market we'll
under control until late hour, the
absence Of pressure OF long stock en-
nbling them to advance prices in the
entire list.
The dealings, however, were devoid
OF animation and for the most part un-
interesting, many traders holding of in
consequence Of the feeling Of uncer-
tainty in regard to the tariff and internal
revenue legislation at Washington. The
advance in prices was equal to Il to
per cent, Changers and Sugar leading
the upward movement. No change Of
Importance in the speculative temper
occurred until about o'clock when the
bears, discovering indications OF free
realizations, took measures to brighten
the small traders into selling. While
these matters produced no excitement
whatever, still they led to moderate
safes tor both tho long and short &C
counts, the natural effect of which was
o shading Of prices all around.
The decline from the highest figures
OF the morning was equal to H@1% per
| cent. st. Paul fell off N, Northwest
q, Burlington y u, Rock Island and
