Tlie Old-Time Easter Bonnets.
Don't like these Easter bonnets the
ones tliev call the "new."
With llowers, an' birds that seem to sing
a .caster sout 10 yow :
They're mighty line in tixin' with rain
bow-ribbons strung:
They're nuthin' like the ones they wore
wiien you an mo wuz young!
The oi'-time Easter bonnet as plain as
plain could be.
With j;st two ribbons on it wuz sweet
enough for nie!
You never see that bonnet now in Easter
winders hunsr
The bonnet that the dear girls wore when
you an rue wuz young:
I've seen 'em on the nieetiti'-way those
girls that wore em, sweet
As all the April violets that blossomed
at their feet;
An' talk 'bout Easter lilies warn't none
o' 'em as fair
As the faces 'neath them bonnets that
the ol' girls used to wear!
The new girls 'course they'' re beautiful
like dreams thejr come and go;
They're 'bleeged to toiler fashion, fer
styles must change, you know ;
Hut this is my conteudin' though I
contends in vain:
Beauty's more beauti fuller beneath a
bonnet plain!
I reckon I'm ol'-fashioned fer Time, it
slips away;
An' Easter girls we used to love are
wrinkled now and gray;
Yet. no they're young ferever! an'
Memory's lights are thing
Bright on the bonnets that they wore
wheu you an' me wuz young!

Easter Days itt Billville.
There are numerous angels pictur
ed on the Easter cards; but they are
all scantily clothed, and not one of
'em wears a twelve dollar hat.
Times are not exactly as flush as
they might be, so yesterday we took
our ride and killed four jaybirds for
our wife to trim her hat with.
There is just this about it: These
Easter trimmings not only cover the
ground, but certainly fill the bill.
We have been kept very busy of
late. We are running an Easter
milinery establishment in connection
with our newspaper.
We have sold enough Easter lilies
this season to pay off the mortgage
on our mule.
The Easter weather is so clear and
beautiful you can see a bill collector
approaching a quarter of a mile
away.
The Easter hats will cut short the
collection to-morrow and the heathen
will have to starve next week.
The impudence of these foreign
heathen is remarkable. A recently
converted cannibal writes to ask if
we can't send him an Easter beaver
and a box of cigars!
All the Easter cards that we have
received so far bore the inscription,
"Please -settle jour bill early and
avoid the rush!-'
An Easter supper will be giveu to
morrow night and we have been liv
ing in daily expectation of an invi
tation, to say grace.
We ran a milinery establishmeutin
connection with our paper last week
and did such a rushing business that
there isn't enough ribbon left to
make plow-lines for the mule.
The local candidates have given all
the voters in the county Easter hats,
which they will be expected to throw
up for them when they're elected.

Easter In the New Century.
In the century just begun thtre
will be 5,217 Sundays. In that which
we have hardly yet learned to speak
of as the last Easter Sunday has oc
curred once on its earliest possible
date, March 22, 1818; but this will
not recur till the twenty-third cen
tury. The earliest Easter in the new
century will be March 23, 1913. Eas
ter Sunday will fall once on its latest
day, April 23, in 1043. This also oc
curred once in the century just pass
edin lSuG. Ascension day is prac
tically always in May, but on three
occasions in the past century it oc
curred in June, and in the new cen
tury this will happen four times.
The Feast of Easter.
The name Easter is derived, as
some suppose, from Eastre, the ti
tle of a Saxon deity whose feast was
celebrated every year in the spring
about the same time as the Chris
tian festival, the name being re
tained when the character of the
feast was changed, or, as others sup
pose, from Oster, which signifies
risin"-. If the latter supposition be
correct, Easter is in name as well as
reality the feast of the resurrection.

ARP AND HIS BIBLE.
He Likes To Read the A pocrjpba (Quotes
Some of the Book.
The family is the most important
institution upon the earth. It is the
hope of the world. Its influence is
greater than that of kings, emperors
or cabinets. Parents and children
gathered around the hearthstones in
separate families make up commu
nities, and they make states and na
tions and choose their rulers. As
the families are, so is the govern
ment good or bad men unmarried
men are merely individuals and feel
no great responsibility outside of
their individual comfort and welfare.
But parents are corncerned for their
children. We live for them and
would die for them, consequently we
want good government that will pro
tect them. But it is not every family
who feels this deep concern. From
my window I see the homes of many
neighbors and can count on my fin
gers those whose presence is a safe
guard to the community, and the
rest are of but little consequence. If
they were to move away it would not
add to our peril.
So it is in all communities. The
few protect the many. So it is in
church and state. Twenty members
of our legislature control its legisla
tion. Ten members of an average
church membership give the church
its character. Sodom was destroyed
because ten good men could not be
found. If all men were good we
would have no need of courts or pris
ons. Uut for every church that is
set on a hill there is a jail in the val
ley. I hear the preacher calling and
the bell tolling from the one, and im
agine I hear the devil calling from
the other, and he cries out as the
sergeants did in the old muster lan-
uage, "Oh, yes! Oh, yes! All who
belong to Captain Satan's company
parade here." And the people are
oing and coming all the time some
to one call and more to the other.
But as the devil can't be heard afar
off, he goes about calling, and even
invades the sanctuary and calls aloud
while the preacher is preaching.
'Man never erects a house of prayer
But what the devil builds a pulpit there,
And 'twill be found upon examination
The devil has the largest congregation."
His pulpitis always at the rear
end where the young people love to
sit, and you can tell how popular he
is by the number who sit there.
I was ruminating about this family
institution and its great importance
in the world because I have been
reading about it in the Apocrypha,
which is one of our family Bibles. 1
heard a preacher say once that a Bi
ble with the Apocrypha in it should
not stay in his house. Well, it took
1,82b' years to exclude it from the
Protestant Bible, and most of it is
in the Roman Catholic Bible yet.
What is called a sacred canon was
not established until the sixteenth
century, and for centuries before
that almost every great theologian
had his own catalogue of inspired
books as he believed them. For 300
years onl3' ten of Paul's epistles were
admitted. The Book of St. James
and theTlevelation of St. John were
excluded. So were Esther and Dan
iel and Jonah in the Old Testament.
Luther tried to have Hebrews, and
James, and Jude, and the Revelations
of St. John excluded, but failed. But
all differences of opinion seem to
have been harmonized at the council
of Trent by all Christians and the
Apocryphia was left in, not as an in
spired part, but to be read for relig
ious instruction. In 1S2G it was ex
cluded from the Protestant Bible,
but it remains in many of the old
time family Bibles and is in one of
mine. I dare to peruse it sometimes,
especially "The Wisdom of Jesus the
Son of Sirach," which is called Eccle-'
siasticus, which has fifty chapters
and is as full of maxims and morals
aud instruction for the family as are
the Proverbs of Solomon.
Addison says that if this book had
been left in the canon, or if it had
the name of some great Greek phil
osopher, it would have commanded
the admiration of mankind. To my
mind it is the condensation of wis
dom for family government. It is as
pointed and pungent as anything
that Solomon ever wrote. This Jesus
was a better man than Solomon. He
lived and wrote 300 years after Mai
achi, the last of the prophets. In the
close of his narrative concerning
Moses and the prophets, he says of
Solomon: "By his body he was
brought into subjection and didsv
stain his honor and pollute his seed
and brought wrath upon his children,
and his kingdom was divided." I
never did have a profound admira
tion for a man who said, "Rejoice,
Oh, young man, in the wife of thy
youth, and be thou always ravished
with her love," and then goes off and
marries 300 wives and takes 700 con
cubines. His precepts were good,
but his example was bad, very bad.
My doctrine has always been that a
man has no more right to two wives
than a woman has to two husbands.
Let him stand by his marriage vows.
This is the injunction of Jesus, the
son of Sirach. As a sample of his
wisdom let me quote:
"A man that breaketh his wed
lock, saying. 'Who seeth me; am I
not compassed about with darkness,
he forgetteth that the eyes of the
Lord are ten thousand times bright
er than the sun."
"Blessed is he who hath a'virtuous
wife, for the number of his days shall
be doubled."
"A silent and loving woman is a
gift from the Lord."
"A fool will peep in at the door of
the house, but he that is well nur
tured will stand without."
"Do not banquet upon borrowed
money."
"Commend not a man for his out
ward appearance, for many kiugs
have sat down upon the ground, and
one that was never thought of hath
worn the crown."
"A friend cannot be known in pros
perity, and an enemy cannot be hid
in adversity."
"Use nefmuch the company of a
woman who is a singer lest thou be
captured with her voice."
"Rejoice not over thine enemy
when be is dead."
"Lend not to him who is higher
than thyself, but if thou lendest
count it lost."
'Sit not down with the wife of an
other man in thine arms, for it will
bring thee to destruction."
"My son, help thy father in his old
age and thou shalt have joy in thine
own children."
"Have no fellowship with those
who are mightier and richer than
thyself, for how can the earthen ket
tle and the pot agree."
"When a rich man speaketh every
man holdeth his tongue and extol it
to the clouds, but if a poor man
speak, they say, 'What fellow is
this?"
"Build not a house with another
man's money, for it is like gathering
stones for the tomb of thy burial."
"A thief is better than a common
liar."
Accustom not thy mouth to swear
ng nor to the naming of the Holy
One."
"Against him that is niggard of
his meat his neighbors shall mur
mur." "Keep a sure watch over a shame
less daughter lest she make thee a
laughing-stock and a byword in the
city and a reproach among thy peo
ple."
Whether this book be inspired or
not, it is full of devotion to God and
gratitude for his goodness. The Old
Testament Hebrews canon was made
up and closed before this Jesus lived
or perhaps Ecclesiasticus would have
been embraced in it. It is certainly
entitled to as much consideration as
Solomon's Song, for there is not a
vulgar or lascivious expression in it.
This much about the Apocrypha
will answer some inquiries I have re
ceived, two of them from preachers.
I have a long letter from my old
friend, Bishop Turner, concerning
that recent publication of William
Hannibal Thomas; that bill of indict
ment against the negroes of his own
race. He denounces Thomas. His
opinion is that some learned white
man wrote the book and paid Thomas
for the use of his name. He says this
is the opinion of those in South Car
olina who know this scapegallows.
He says: "I am well acquainted with
him; knew him during the war in
front of Richmond, where some south
ern hero shot off one of his arms, and
it is a pity he did not shoot his head
off. He is now receiving an exorbi
tant pension from the United States
government. If there ever was mon
ey paid to a dog, it is paid to him. If
the white people of the south knew
half as much about his rascality and
vil'niny as he has told me, they
would seek his blood. If our preach
ers are so bad as he represents them,
what did he stop for and join the
party of the devil. He was one of
the preachers of my church and will
be until hell opens her arms to re
ceive him," etc., etc.
I have been following Bishop Tur
ner's course ever since the war, and
have never known aught against him
as a man or a Christian. In the year
18tG, when our people at Rome were
under the oppression of a Spanish
captain, one De la Mesa, Bishop
Turner acted as a mediator and tried
to make our condition more toler
able. He made a speech at Reese's
Spring, near Rome, that we all com
mended, and did bis utmost to pre
vent that Spaniard from exercising
his foul domination and tyranny.
Ever since then his pen and voice
has been for peace between the
races. I am pleased to speak of him
as "my friend." Bill Arp.

yi'ICK BELIEF FROM PAIX.
All who use Chamberlain's Pain Balm
for rheumatism are delighted with the
quick relief from pain which it affords.
When speaking of this Mr. D. N. Sinks,
of Troy, Ohio, says: "Some time ago I
had a severe attack of rheumatism in
my arm and shoulder. I tr:.tl numer
ous remedies but got no relief until I
was recommended by Messrs. Geo. F.
Parsons & Co., druggists of this place,
to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They
recommended it so highly that I bought
a bottle. I was soon relieved of all pain.
I have since recommended this liniment
to many of my friends, who agree with
me that it is the best remedy for muscu
lar rheumatism in the market.1' For

Finanrlal and Commercial.
New York, April 2, 1001.
The busiuess situation as a whole
continues satifactory. Exception
must still be made of the textile in
dustry, but even in that branch of
trade there are evidences of greater
price steadiness in some lines and
also of better buying. The latter de
velopment has been chiefly notice
able in the wool and woolen goods
division of the trade. Other indus
tries are iu prosperous condition,
and the orders already booked or in
well assured prospect will keep most
of the mills and factories actively
employed for months to come. The
spring season is so far advanced that
new demand in some wholesale lines
naturally shows a falling off, but the
distributing movement is still very!
large; and the big gains in railroad
earnings and in bank clearings attest
the fact that the general business of
the country is greater in volume
than that of the corresponding sea
son in any previous year. Business
failures during the past week, accord
ing to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered
206 in the United States and 29 in
Canada, against 203 in this country
and 33 in Canada during the corres
ponding period last year.
Cotton prices show a net decline
for the week of 1 of a cent per pound,
but they have been an additional J of
a cent lower in the interval. Receipts
have continued to compare favorably
with those of last season, and condi
tions in' the manufacturing industry
at home and abroad have been so un
satisfactory that the market for the
raw staple has lacked substantial
support. Northern mill tikings are
small, and for the season to the close
of last week they showed a compara
tive decrease of 41i,0S8 bales, while
exports of cotton for the same period
decreased 243,471 bales. The cotton
goods trade has continued dull, and
in a number of instances further con
cessions in prices have been made to
quieken sales. The situation is very
unsatisfactory for manufacturers,
whose products have been in many
cases made from cotton bought at
much higher prices than those now
ruling; and there is a continued ten
dency to curtail production rather
than accumulate stocks on a declin
ing market.
Dog Exposed the Murder.
Gcadajara, Mexico, April 1. The
mutilated body of Francisco Gonzales
Michel, one of the wealthiest citizen
of the State of Jalisco, who disap
peared several days ago, has beer,
found buried under the flagging of
the court of the residence occupied
by his former mistress in the town
of Tlapa.
The discovery of the body was due
to a St. Bernard dog, which was
presented to Michel some time ago by
former Governor Galvano of this
State. This dog led a detachment of
rurales to the spot where the body
was buried, and the animal would
not leave the place until the excava
tion had been made and the body re
covered. The woman and her broth
er have been arrested and charged
with the crime.

specially after the baking powder.
As she cannot make good cake with bad eggs,
no more can she make cake that is light, delicious
and dainty with inferior baking powder.
Royal Baking' Powder is indispensable for the
preparation of the finest food. It imparts that
peculiar lightness, sweetness and flavor noticed in
the finest cake, bisc-jir, dnughnuts, crusts, etc.,
which expert bakers say is unobtainable by the
use of any other leavening agent.

IOO WILI IOM ST., NEW YORK.
Chained in a Cellar to Die.
Pn.TM:v, Vt., April 2. Work
men removing a cellar wall under a
dilapidated building, just north of
the bridge that crosses Fair Haven
river, a quarter of a mile above Car
ver's Falls, have apparently un
earthed evidence which solves the
mystery of a murder which occurred
70 years ago. The discovery was
made by accident, the laborers hav
ing fallen into a pit while trying to
lift some heavy stones. The pit was
about eight feet deep, with a solid
stone wall about 20 inches thick
surrounding it. In the centre of the
pit was set a solid iron post at
tached to which was a heavy iron
chain and an old fashioned pair of
handcuffs. Near by was a heap of
human bones.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that in
1S31 Perry Cordeu, a young French
man, brought his young wife to
Poultney to live iu the house which
the workmen are tearing down. She
was witty and vivacious and at
tracted considerable attention. In
a short time Rorden became jealous
of her and forbade her visiting a cer
tain tavern nearby. The wife would
not submit to be dictated to. One
night in November, 1831, she was at
the place when at about 10 o'clock
Rorden called for her. She left the
place with him. She was never f een
by her friends after that. Mr. Ror
den said his wife had deserted him
and fled to Canada. After a jear
Borden went away and was not
heard of again until 182, when he
suddenly re-appeared in town. He
said he had been at sea for the 50
years he had beeu away. His mind
seemed shattered. He went to the
little house aud remained two years,
neighbors supplying him with pro
visions, lie tinaiiv became sick anu
the town took charge of him. He
died in 18S7 and was buried in the
Potter's field.
The discoveries made by the work
men have led every one in this vi
cinity to believe that Dorden chained
his wife in the underground cellar
and left her to die a horrible death.
