JUDGE KElLAM RESIGNS.
Accused Of q Gross Crime and
His Resignation De-
manded.

Judge Ksllum, Of the Supreme
Court Of South Dakota has rendered
his resignation to the governor, and
the governor has accepted it. His sue
csssor will be appointed at once.
He IL openly accused Of taking lib
critics with . child in his Office at
night and taking advantage of another
mans wife whom she was under the in
fiusnce Of morphine. The reluctance
Of the victim to be dragged into the
publicity Of the courts Is the only
reason he Is not now under arrest at
this time.
The charges were OF such enormity
that IL was hard to credit them until
backed by we'll founded reports that
they had been admitted by Kellam
himself. When the rumors which had
been floating for several days we're
presented In the way of q charge
against him, Ksllam was called before
the governor and q demand was made
upon him for his resignation, no for
NAL written notice being given. The
pressure was such that he at once tend
cred his resignation to take effect
forthwith, no would take the nec-
essary steps to call him to an account
ing, and while it vas supposed that he
would be arrested ut any moment, no
one would take the initiative step,
giving as the q that they would
not drag innocent families into the
publicity of . trial.

Dodges Of Debtors.

There are certain forms we'll known
to the i~mpecunious, which trsdesmen
are in the habit OF at1xing to their
bills, and which range from the mildly
~applicatory to the sternly p~eremptory.
When these come to An end, aud the
debtor shows no inclination to pay,
recourse is often had to the profession

resorted TO by people who either cant
or won't pay are curious, but 1t is fire.

EASTER IN RUSSIA.
BY SOPHIE FRIEDLAND.

The Easter table is set on the eve
of the holiday and remains SO for
three days. In the center is placed a
large "Kulitsch," a cake that is some
times three feet high and is deco
rated with pink flower, as a symbol
of spring. The Paskka," a very
savory dish made of cottage cheese,
eggs, butter, sugar and spices, is as
indispensable to the Easter table of
the Gar as of the Russian peasant.
A quantity of hard boiled, colored
eggs, ham and brandy, as we'll as
ginger bread, candy and nuts, COM
plete the whole. Anybody who
makes call during the Easter week
brings an egg and receives one in ex-
change and is obliged to partake of
the dainties that are on the table.
In the country priest is usually
invited to bless the Easter table and
to sprinkle the "Kulitsch" and the
"Paskka" with holy water. On the
eve of the holiday, little before
midnight, the people, young and old,
dressed in their best, start for church,
where is held the great Easter SER
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-04-04

vice, which includes several process
sions. As the churches are usually
crowded, those who arrive late are
obliged to wait outside for the an
nouncement OF the glad tidings "He
is arisen" As midnight approaches
the hum of the voices gradually
ceases till, as the clock strikes twelve,
all the bells suddenly send forth
merry peal. Everyone holds in his
hand lighted taper and these thous-
ands of little lights in and outside of
the church give the whole scene
curious picturesqueness.
"Kristos's Vosskress" Christ hath
arisen) says one friend to another,
and the other replies: "Vo istine
Vosskress" (Yea verify, He hath
arisen). Then they kiss each other
on the right and left cheek alter
nately. Meanwhile the tolling of the
bells grows deafening and the gener-
al noise is heightened by the firing
of guns.
l am Russian myself and have
seen this sight year after year, but I
have never been able to find out why
artillery is introduced into the relig
ious ceremony. However, the effect of
it on the common people is startling.
At the sound of the cannon a raging
enthusiasm breaks forth, which only
subsidies when the procession CON-
mences. Four bishops in yellow
robes, new for the occasion, carry the
body of Christ, in the form of beau
tiful artistic image, through the long
aisles of the church. They are fol-
lowed by the other clergy and the
choir chanting the Easter hymn.
After this the prayers commence,
which last until about 2 o'clock, and
these are followed by the blessing of
the "Kulitsch" and "Paskka," which
those who cannot afford to invite a
priest to their home have brought to
church.
A stranger would be very much
amused to see the long line of decor
ated cakes held up by their happy
owners, who usually get as much
sprinkling of the holy water as the
cake, this decidedly adding to the
bliss of the moment. After this they
go home and at the break of day the
feasting commences, which usually
ends among the lower classes in
drunkenness and an over-crowding of
the hospitals.

Keep the Home Pure.

In trenchant article in the North
American Review Mrs. M. A. Livermore
says:
II is the most serious and widespread
evil OF our time, the drunkenness of hus-
bands, alike in high life and low life.
and it portends the direst consequences
to posterity. The woman who dares
marry ibertine, or a drunkard, with
the hope of reforming him or the expec-
tation of finding happiness with him,
ought to have chance in lunatic asy.
lum or home for imbeciles.
Before all forms of government, all
types of civilization, all advance in edu.
cation. the relations of the husband and
wife make the everlasting granite on
which the whole world rests. just so
fast and just so far as these relations
are what they ought to be. and what
God intends they shall be, just SO fast
and just so far will society be uplifted-
no faster no farther. How shall we
purify public lifeS" is the great question
of the hour. We can purify public life
no faster than we purify the private life
in the home, for the public life is only
the public expression OF the private life
of people. The advance of nation
comes only through the improvement of
the homes of nation. AS the aggre-
gate of these may be, so will the nation
be. For it is the home. conducted by
the harmonious and right-minded hus-
band and wife, that the real harmonic
ing and civilizing are carried forward.

EASTER IN POETRY.
BY JAMES EscoTT SHARP.

CowPER, in his lines descriptive of
poet in the elder days, says:
Hence. 10 Roman mouth. the graceful name
OF Prophet and of Poet was the same.
This intimate relation between
poetry and prophecy, between the
sacred gift of the MUSES. and the
reverent feelings and fine intuitions
that link man to deity, was always in
the earlier days proudly proclaimed
by the bard. 1t was not until poetry
itself became less divine that men be.
gan to distinguish between sacred
poetry and poetry which neither in
its origin nor in its effects had to do
with anything above the earth and
the clouds.
Milton, like Homer, invokes the
Muse, and though centuries and the
revelation of Christianity lie between
them there is the glow of the same
faith and elevation of spirit, the COM
muning with the invisible source of
all the beauty and glory of the world.
In the same manner Spenser in his
"Hymne of Heavenly Beautie" seeks
inspiration in
"The Eternal Fountaine of that heavenly
beauty"
and through the whole of the "Faerie
Queene" runs a moral purpose, the
vein of allegory being covered with
poetic flowers in themselves SO fair
and fragrant that they partly hide
the deep religious teachings and
beauty of the poem. In such poets
as the SANITY Herbert" we find this
religious spirit blossoming thus in
to poetry in his lines on Easter"
got me flowers to strew thy way;
l got me boughs off many tree:
But thou vast up by break of day
And brought thy sweets along with thee.
The sun arising in the east
Though he give light, and the eastperfume;
If they should offer to contest
With thy arising, they presume.
Can there be any day but this,
Though many suns to shine endeayor?
