Easter Sunday.

The Episcopal church and the Methodist
church at this place were beautifully deco
rated last Sunday, and religious exercises
suitable for the occasion were held In cach.
Full congregations OF worShippers "sseillpleu
morning and evening.
The new organ at the Methodist church in
the skilltul hands Of their accomplished or
eanist, Miss Kirby, and the superb singing
led by Mr.. W. II. Jones and Mrs. j. l.. McMil-
Ian. made n most attractive feature of the
service. Flowers and music, songs OF praise
and heartfelt gratitude TO the Glver of good
gifts, all contributed to the becoming worship
of our Saviour.
These anniversaries give occasion TO medi-
tate on the great event which the day COM
memorates, and the human heart is at no
time drawn SO near to our Saviour an on
Easter. Even the callous-hearted in witness.
ing the zeal and devotion OF dcvout Chris

The backbone OF the strike at Abbeville

Why do our ministers "read the WORD Of
God?" Wouldn't 1t sound just as well, and
be more reverent, II they "read the HOLY
Scriptures?"
Why is the Lords prayer tabbooed in oul

The reading Of the Scriptures and the sing

WILL HE DO IT.

Prominent newspapers, Repub-
lican as we'll as Democratic and
Independent, are begging the
president not to do anything
which will involve this govern
ment in the scheme of the pow
ers of Europe to overrun and di-
vide up China,
Some of these newspapers ssde-
fend the policy of subjugating
the Filipinos and r rampant for
expansion as far as the admins
tration has proposed to carry it
but they draw the line at partici-
patton in the dissection of China.
What will be President Nc
Kinley's course in the matter?
Probably he himself does not
know, for he has shown a hesita-
ton to assume responsibility
which no previous president ever
displayed. He may adopt first
one policy regarding China and
then fall back on another policy
in direct conflict with it, as he
did in the case of the Porto Rico
tariff.
The country has seen so many
instances of vaciIlation and re-
versal on his part that it will lit
tie surprised if he should turn a
Chinese somersault.
The presidents advisers will
direct his course in this emer-
gency, If they hold the idea that
it is our manifest destiny" to
become a "world power" in the
sense that no sort of conquest
and spoliation shall go on any
where unless we take a hand in
it they will probably force that
idea upon the president and shape
his policy for him accordingly.
The greed Of territory, the pas
sion for power, the lust of con-
quest are very strong in the
hearts Of some Of our people and
we fear that the men who seem
to control the present admins
tration more than its nominal
head does are of that ilk. They
may not be satisfied with the ap :
preparation of Hawaii and Porto
Rico, nor yet with the attempt
to subjugate a distant people who
had practically won their free
dom when we came in to claim
them as our subjects by right of
purchase from a master whose
yoke they had about thrown off
Whether we shall be drawn into
the'business Of cutting up China
and dividing the pieces depends
less upon the inclination of VIM
Mckinley than upon what some
other men desire and upon what
certain influences consider viii
be most profitable to them in the
premises.

Roaming the Streets.

Not IN love ne1tner. linen 10L 5 Say.
you are sad,
Because you are not merry: and
'twere as easy
For you to laugh and leap, and say
you are merry,
Because you are not sad. Now, by
two headed Janus,
Nature hath framed strange fellows
in her time:
Some that will evermore peep
through their eyes,
And laugh, like parrots. at a bag
piper;
And others of such vinegar aspect,
That they'll not show their teeth in
way of smile,
Though Nestor swears the jest be
laughter.
A mans loves are mainly com-
edies: a woman's loves are all of
them tragedies. A woman may
betray a man who loves her, but
she never ceases to feel grateful
to him. She lisps his name tens
derby, aud saying 1t softly there
is always a little Tightening Of
the heart chords, very much as
Ishe would experience in placing
fresh flowers upon faded ones on
. rain-beaten grave. She laughs
The while and acts love with
thrilling tenderness. A woman
never forgets any man who has
loved her; meyer quite forgives
any man who has not. No man
who has paid her the tribute Of his
affection can ever be wholly bad;
and if he go to the devil with his
lost love as an excuse she will
build a shrine &c him in her heart,
and turning to it many a time
will breathe the pitiful little
prayer of "Poor Fellow! he low
ed me So" A woman loves to
love, and to be loved is to her the
divine essence of all human Joy.
No lover ever fell so low that the
sounding plummet Of a woman's
gratitude did not reach a deeper
deep. Her heart forever sends to
bin the admonition, "Thou didst
love me-"

Frog Pond people, besides
having a unique way of doing
things in other lines, appear to
have a very drastic method Of
getting their accounts paid or
the goods returned. It is report
ed that one morning-Sunday
morning, too-a young man,
fashionably dressed, was walk
ing along a much frequented
street, when he was confronted
with his shoemaker, who incon-
tinently demanded that his bill
should be paid, or as an altern.
alive, proposed to take back the
boots the customer was then
wearing. The unhappy young
man replied that he had moi
enough money with him to set
tie the account; so the shoenaks
er, reinforced by his apprentices
seized the young man and for.
chilly removed his boots. It is
further stated SHAT an immense
crowd collected and seemed very
much diverted by the incident.
This is an appalling way of
