EASTER CUSTOMS.
Tho Typical Use of the Egg is Common
to All Countries.

Tho Typical Use of the Egg is Common
to All Countries.
This year Easter falls in April, so
that in some localities we may really
enjoy the soft air, the green of the
grass, the song of birds and fragrance
of flowers, so often only in the future
at the Easter time. Hope comes again
to the invalid with Faster days. the
violets are peeping from their beds
and all things seem
"Emblems of our own great resurrection,
Emblems of the bright and better land"
The egg in some form or other has
been type of the new life from the
very beginning of the Christian era, IL
growth, probably, from the pagan idea
that the egg was the beginning of all
kinds of life. Various customs and
ways of using the egg have grown up
in different countries.
In Russia, as early as 1899, eggs
colored red, typiiying the blood of
Christ shed as an atonement for our
sins, We're the most treasured of ex-
changes at Easter. Every believer
went abroad at this season with his
pockets we'll supplied with Easter eggs,
as the society mau of to-day attends
to his well-tilled card case. When two
Russians met for the first time during
the Easter holidays, if they had not
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1898-04-09

met OH the day itself, the belated
Easter compliments were passed, first
by solemnly shaking hands in silence,
then the elder Tor the younger, if he
outranked the elder would say: "The
Lord is risen," aud his companion
would reply: ''It is true;;' then they
kissed each other and tremendously
drew from their respective pockets
the Easter emblem and exchanged
eggs.
Hyde, in his description of Oriental
sports, tells of one with eggs among
the Christians of Mesopotamia Oil
Easter day, and forty days afterward:
"The sport consists in striking their
eggs one against another, and the egg
that first breaks is won by the owner
of the one that struck it. Immediate
ly another egg is pitted against the
winning egg, and so OH till the last
egg wins all the others, which their
respective owners shall before have
won."
Eggs were held by the Egyptians as
sacred emblem of the renovation of
mankind after the deluse. The Jews
adopted them to suit the circum-
stances of their history as a type of
their departure from the land OF Egypt;
they were also used in the feast of the
Passover.
The Syrians believed that the gods
from whom they claimed descent were
Matched from mysteriously laid eggs.
Hence we infer that our present GUS
tom of offering the Easter egg emblem
has the heather legends for its origin;
in fact all our most precious festivals
come down from similar sources, but
purified with the light OF Christianity.

Ye might but find and feel Hm--vanly hoping
For life from ifeless touch, for light from gloom;
Tired feet that linger where Christ lies hidden;
Sad eyes that weep and lips that sob and moan
No longer grieve grope See God has blden
His strong white angels roll away the stone.
whom ye seek behind yon gloomy portal
Minglng your burial spices with your tears
No more is dead in strength and light immortal
He lives to crown with Joy the desolate years.
Lives to oercome earth's angushcl and sobbnS,
Give rest for struggle, and for wounds His balm.
His strong sweet life through human pulses hrobng,
Changing all fear to trust all strife to calm.
How shall know? Not by the radiant affairs
Whose incense draws the fanting lilies breath.
Not by the tide OF praise that falls fater.
Through countless p@ans of victory death.
Not by the sacred help Of priesy praying,
Nor all that temples, shrines. symbols give,
They only know whose hearts have heard Him saying
'My life is thine because live ye live
Sad feered souls long held in sefs dim prison,
Bound fast by error ignorance or pride,
Do ye not hear? The Conqueror is risen:
In His brave death thy foes and His have died.
Bury thy dead Live, live the wondrous story
That lifts the world from deeps OF wrong.
Wouldst flood the shadows with the Easter glory,
Sing out the whole year round, thine Easter song.

Again buds dot the willow rod.

 Coroner's Investigation.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Bessemer, May 26.-Leonard Smith, a col ored man living at Sloss, was shot and in- stantly killed this morning at o'clock while cutting wood near his house.
 Two pistol shots were heard at that time. but no attention was paid to them, and the body was not discovered unSi o'clock, when life was extinct. A pistol, the prop erty of the dead man, was found on the ground a few feet away, which first sug- gested suicide. The coroner's inquest later decided that the deceased came to his death from the hands of parties unknown.
 Smith was 25 years old and left a wife and two children The wife is said to have been the cause of the trouble.
 P. T. Whilden has bought the vault and other bank fixtures which were the prop erty of Lee Moody, and has leased the office formerly occupied by MT.
