The Christian Believer.

Each morning is to him a reminder that
he has risen with Christ, and that the
day before him must be a day of aspira-
ton after higher things. To him the
spring-tide of the year cannot set in IN
associated with the great fact of his faith
and the chief force of his spiritual life.
AS he sees "the motions of the spring"
are movements upward, outward, onward.
The milder sky, the more %benignant
breeze, the flower bursting out of its hard
bulb and its cold bed, the returning bird
with song exultant after silence, and the
hillside daily growing more outrageous,
are signs, for him. of life, and of life
after death. The resurrection of his Lord
means more to him, amid the splendid
symbols of the spring time, than it did
as a hope cherished, without the symbol,
and, as it were, against hope, amid tho
sterilities of winter.

An Easter Thought,

Beneath the winters mounded snow
The frozen world insensate lay;
1t knew not of the winds that blow,
OF gathering night or dawning day.
The giant trees with branches bare,
Moved in the wind with moaning signs;
No bird-songs floated on the air,
And rose in triumph to the skies.
But see, what miracle is this:
Again the prisoned waters flow,
The green earth throbs with conscious
bliss,
Again the south winds softly blow.
From lands afar the birds come back
To woodland nook or sheltered grove,
Through fields of air without a track,
Each to the nest it learned to love.
And He whose hand ~revives each flower,
Who hides the birds from Winter'y
breath,
Who gives to Spring, life as her dover,
Can He not save a soul from death?
O mark how leaf and blossom wave
Where lately all was bare and gray,
And doubt not, risen from the grave,
Our Lord and Saviour lives to-day.

EASTER

Easter week is q time of general re-
,oicing in Paris; everybody presents ev-
eryone else with a little present emblem
atical Of an egg. French ingenuity ex-
bausts itself in the manufacture of egg
shaped articles of all conceivable forms
and materials. Go where you will, you
see eggs and their nests. The shops are
full of egg-shaped boxes, the receptacles
of candy, jewelry or toys. Here you
have chocolate eggs full of cream where
the yelk should be, and again, ivory eggs
within which is u scent bottle. Women
are wheeling barrows on which are piled
In separate heaps white and colored eggs.
Some of the nests are beautiful works of
art. Here is a stoat or weasel stealthily
climbing up a tree to suck the eggs, while
the parent bird is represented with her
feathers rufled in a threatening attitude,
to drive away the intruder. Here, again.
q cuckoo-a European cuckoo, our Ameri-
can bird is above such tricks-has turned
out a little chaffinch egg which lies brok-
en- on the ground below, while she left
her own for a foster parent to hatch. In
former days Eggs were exchanged as al
ayowal of sentiment, much as valentines
have been in our own day IN generation,
writes J. Carter Beard in Demorest's,
and were painted and gilded and set in
gold. and ofttimes brought great prices.
Eggs. hard-boiled and colored. were much
used by boys to play ball with, and it is
said the clergy did not disdain to indulge
in the game. According to an old chron-
icer. it even formed Il part of the church
service. There are records of many curl
Gus Easter customs. In Russia, every
female, even Il princess, must submit to
tc kissed by the lowest boor who presents
her with al egg; but in some parts of
England Il still more curious, and, if pos
Slbie, more senseless, custom prevails. A
| chair gayly decked with ribbons and ar
tilcial flowers, is placed in front of some
pam or house of public resort, upon the
seat OF which is a raw egg. The chair is
attended by Il number of gayly dressed
~dalnSelS, who seize upon any man pass
ihg, and. despite his kicking and struggles,
seat him in the chair, from which he is
not allowed to escape until he is kissed
oy all the attendant graces. On Easter
uay' on the western slope of the Alps. a
hundred eggs are distributed over u level
space covered with sand, and a young
man ana woman execute Il dance of the
country among the eggs. 1t is the I'M
written law of the locality that if they
succeed in completing the "branle" with
out breaking a single egg, they become
allanced. with or without the consent of
parents or guardians. Here in America

Delicious Corn POne.

The ingredients are two coffee cups
Of cOrnmenal, one quart of milk, four
eggs, II tablespoonful of drawn but
ter, one ~teaspoonful of salt and one
t~easpoOnful of sugar, writes Mary SAT-
ford in Ladies' Home Journal. Beat
the eggs thoroughly; add the meal,
butter, sugar and salt, and scald the
whole with the milk, which has been
previously set on to boil. Have ready

that, rather deep pans; pour in at
once and hurry into the oven. Do not
let the thin appearance of the batter
tempt you to add more meal-as has
happened more than Once when this
receipt was being tried, to the serious
injury of the pone. The four eggs will
stiffen it sufficiently, and the richness
and delicacy of the cake are largely
due to the small proportion of meal.
The turks head is preferable to the
ordinary pan because the hole in the
center, which permits the hot air to,
rise, diffuses the heat more equally
through the mixture. Bake In q quick

his red, white and blue unbreakable.

The small ends of the gay eggs clicked
together. How much depended on the

But no crunch of weaker egg followed.

How the Easter Lilies Came.

They grew beside the carven tomb
Great gorgeous flowers of tropic gloom.
The sunset blaze seemed mirrored there
Within their petals dainty flare
Rare sangs de boeufs in floral bloom.
The first sweet Easter Day-in shame
And sorrow for her Masters scorn;
Her tears-like pearls-how sadly born,
Washed white those regal flowers of flame.

Hopkinsville now has hotel facili-
ties for entertaining the Kentucky
Press Association in June. The ex-
ecutive committee will be called to-
gether at the proper time to consider
the question of selecting place of
meeting. Whether or not it shall
meet in Hopkinsville is matter that
will in great measure depend upon
the people of the city. The editor
of the KENTUcKIAN is chairman of the
executive committee and would be
glad to have an expression of opinion
from citizens generally. Not since
1878 has the X. p. A. met in this city,
and those who were here then would
not recognize in the city of to-day the
town of seventeen years ago. The
Press of the State is not now a tax
upon the communities that entertain
them. The editors pay their own
way at the hotels and only accept
Inequalities extended in the way of
public entertainments. 1t would
greatly benefit Hopkinsville at this
time to have 200 members of the
State Press spend two or three days
in the city and find out what we al
ready tnow-that Hopkinsville is the
best city in Kentucky. If the peo-
pie are willing to do the right thing
in entertaining the visitors, the asso-
citation can be secured for the first of
June.

A paragraph is going the rounds,
giving 1877 as the number of lynch
ings during 1894. The KENrUcKIAN
kept the record for the first half of
the year, but found it very difficult to
keep up with the lynchings. They
attract so little attention now, that
some of them are reported in obscure
corners Of the papers and the chances
are that many are overlooked alto
gether. Whether the number is cor
rect or not, the figures show that a
considerable number of rascals have
been put where they will do no
more harm, in most cases for the
most fiendish of all crimes. While
majority of these executions were inthe
South, all parts of the country were
represented.

The Pains of Rheumatism

According to the best authorities,
originate in morbid condition OF the
blood. Tactic acid, caused by the
decomposition of the gelatinous and
slbumincus tissues, circulates with
the blood and attacks the fibrous It's
sues, particularly in the joints, and
thus causes the local manifestations
of the disease. The back and the
shoulders are the parts usually affect
ed by rheumatism, and the. joints. at
the, knoes, ankles, hips and wrists are
also sometimes attacked. Thousands
OF p -ople have found in Hoods Sar-
ssparilla positive and permanent
cure for rheumatism. 1t has had re-
markable success in curing the most
severe cases. The secret of it's sue
cess lies in the fact that it attacks at
once the cause of the disease
by neutralizing the tactic acid and
purifying the blood, as well as
strengthening every junction of the
body.

eminent notes redeemable in "gold

monetized, they must of course be

supply falls below S60,000,000 it
must be increased by the sale of more
