The Kesnreectlon. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the ' morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they . had prepared. And they entered in. and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. . And as they were much perplexed about it, two men stood by them in shining garments. They said unto the women, Why seek ye the living among the dead. He is not here but is risen. And they returned and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Marv Magdalene,- Joanna and Mary the mother of Jesus, and other women wet e with them. Then the same day at evening, when the disciples were assembled, Jesus stood in the midst of them and said: Peace be unto you, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight. St. Luke. Easter Day. ' The name Easter is belie'ed to be de rived from the Saxon deity Eostre, whose festival was celebrated in the spring, about the same time as the Christian feast. Oster signifies "rising," and the name is. supposed by-some to, have come from that word, Easter being the feast of the Resurrection. t Easter is observed among all Christian people, as the anniversary of the great event-of the resurrection of Christ. , He is dead, but returned to life The egg is taken as emblematic of a return to life. It is to aU appearance dead, but we know that if placed under' proper conditions, life will come fortb.from it. The use of eggs, at Easter -was adopted- from an usage older than our era. It was the custom, in, very earlv times, to celebrate the return of spring "by making, presents of eggs. Easter brings you the thought of the tranquil home where they go no more out forever. And while the songs rise, and the children play, and the. world puts on her beautiful garments woven of sun and, dew, remember again that blessedness is a better estate than happi ness. Harper's Bazar. . . Mothers. The Lord gave the word ; the women who, publish the glad tidings are a great host. Instinct- leads - the brute-mother to protect her young by the sacrifice of her life if necessary..- Blind instinct might, allow the mother to crush her little one to death in too close an . embrace. Edu cated parental love is needed for the best good of the child. . The more intelligent the mother is the more tender is her heart toward neglected or abused children. Elizabeth Barrett. Browning . voiced the cry of London's toiling children, till England was aroused. When mother. s love - strives -.to right some wrong against the home, she comes light up to a stone .wall which legisla tion alone can remove. Hearts and brains are powerless - without , ballots, Persistent work on this line tells on the education of our, people. .We .look for results. "King out the old, ring in the new, .

The following was referred by the Na tional executive committee of the W. C. T. U". to the general officers, and by them signed and forwarded to th& Anti-Nuis-anee League in New York. The recent decision handed down by Judge Field, . of the United States su preme court in the California case, seems to. emphasise the subject matter of the resolutions : . - Whereas, The license of any evil or crime injurious to society is an outrage ous perversion of law and justice, and Whereas, Any license to any crime such as polygamy, burglary, stealing, distributing infected, rags, or poisoned food, comes under this catalogue, and Whereas; The sale of alcholic poisons are among the most injurious and terri ble evils in the annals of crime, and Whereas, The highest tribunals of the country, including the supreme court of the United States, have in their dictum declared the. manufacture and -sale, and importation of alcoholic liquors, to be the prolific source and cause of crime and misery in the community.,-' , Robinson, the new governor-elect of Massachusetts, was sworn into -office on the 3rd inst. He was warmly received at t the state house by his.-predecessor. t Gov. Butler The. new official evidently meant) uumueos. iu uis inaugural ad dress he urged a more general enforce ment of the registration laws, and also of that relating to traffiic in intoxicating liquors- He censured, the facilities or obtaining divorces. - Akin to this are the following utterances of his address : Adventurers and visionaries may try to set labor and capital in bitter hostilty, stir up bad blood among citizens and di vide alV the people into -envious and r an tagonistic classes, but they are only in stigators of mischief, and the greatest enemies to those whom they profess to aid. All the statutes relating to hours of labor, employment and schooling of children, intimidation of laborers and kindred subjects should be strictly en forced. If they are. not expressive ' of the judgment of the people, let their re peal come regularly, Sam Jones in a recent sermon declared that he was no more to blame for being a prohibitionist than for being a . chris tian, for he could not be one without be ing the other to save his life. Joseph Cook says he not only wants the liquor traffic prohibited, but exter minated. Answer to the question, "What is the chief cause of poverty?" formed a sym posium recentlv in a" great metropolitan daily. Edward Atkinson said, "Ignor ance and incapacity' ' ; Chauncey Depew , "Lack of self-confidence and of decision, rum and ; intemperance alone was a sufficient .cause to several minds. The majority -of-: opinion was that the causes of poverty are. largely .traceable to individuals themselves, though several ascribed it to ithe injustice of govern ments and Bocietyv A significant, exer cise on thin subject is within, the , reach of everybody.; analyze the causes which have produced want, and: keep in want persons whom you know. The ,inori of this work onev does the-more convinced he will , tie that the surest remedy for poverty is -learning how to do something well and . doings it : practicing,- in the meantime thrift and temperance. m : 1 . for sweet- Charity.

Nickelsen has a way of estimating the population of this city that he com mends to the census bureau as- in every way superior to theirs. The estimate is based upon the number of baby carriages sold. ' Judging from his present trade in these useful and ornamental articles he thinks the population is something less than 20,000 and the, increase at the rate of less than a thousand a month. This is very encouraging indeed. It will therefore not surprise any one to be told that this enterprising gentleman has made provision for every possible con tingency in the way of rapid increase of population j and has laid in a large stock of baby carriages from the. Faribault carriage factory at prices to suit the times. HOTEL AKK1VA LS. UMATILLA HOUSE. S. R. Husbands, Mosier. A. W. Boyce, Deschutes. C. A, Williams, Warnic. Frank Pike, Moro. Wm.

E church at the Vogt Grand tomorrow evening and the fact that a large and select audience is expected, it -is proper to call the attention of the authorities to the crowd of hoodlums that fill the hall of the Opera House every time there is an entertainment there and make the night hideous by cat calls, tramping of feet, whistling and other noises that render it impossible for the audience, especially those in the gallery, to enjoy anything. It is hoped that our gentle manly marshal or his deputy will kindly see to this matter.
