THE EVENING CALL.

SOCIALSALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
THE EVENING CALL.
HER COMING OUT.
In her dainty hat and feather,
In her pretty modish gown,
All to match the blithe spring weather,
Comes our bonny maid to town ;
And the swains who follow after,
As the fair one walks before,
Listen for her sweet low laughter,
Leave their greetings at her door.
'Tis the same old simple story
Told in every century's ear;
Stronger far than fame or glory
Is the spell she weaveth here.
Just by looking dear and pretty,
In her dainty Easter gown,
She can win the whole wide city
"When our maiden comes to town.
Coming out when pussy-willows
Nod beside the dancing rill,
When the violets star the pillows
Os the green moss on the hill;
Coming when the winds together
Sing for mirth and tell of spring,
Welcome, maid and birds and weather,
Flower and dimple, glance and wing.
* * *
Dame Fashion is in the zenith of
her glory, and the week at hand will
submerge womankind in the depths
of spring gowns and spring bats, pret
ty neck gear, parasols and fans, and
the annual Easter parade which the
small town and the great metropolis
always witness, promises to be one of
the most interesting for many sea
sons. Grandmother, matron and maic
have been interested alike in what to
wear Easter Sunday, snd many of the
costumes seen tomorrow will be
beautiful beyond compare. But we
must not think that just because all
womankind will blossom out tomorrow
in spring attire, that her thoughts
during the past forty days have re
verted solely to the selection and
fashioning of these pretty gowns and
hats. In the denial of worldly pleas
ures and gaities, there have come
thoughts of a serious and holy nature,
and on this happy day there should
be in the breast of each one a kindlier
feeling of love for all humanity. The
great spirit of love is assuming a sub
limer attitude every day. It is yet
destined to rise so high, to spread so
wide, and shine so bright, that all
creeds and governments will be swal
lowed up and lost in its all-absorbing,
overshadowing power. No one’s in
fluence lies in the office which he
holds, in the position which be fills,
but in the thoughts which be arouses
and the sentiments which he inspires
in the hearts of bis fellow beings.
One’s influence is unceasing; it is as
lasting as eternity, as death, and as
immortality. The river runs ever
onward to the sea, and we say of its
water when it reaches the great gulf
that it is lost. Not so ;it is caught up
by the sun and again comes back in
the form of rain to revive and refresh
the earth. So it is with that great
current of humanity, which is running
ever onward to the infinite ocean of
eternity. We say of a man when he
is engulfed io that sea of oblivion that
he is dead. No ;be has just begun to
live, and living, must affect the des
tiny of the generations that come after
him. Not a single human thought has
ever died. Even if suppressed in ut
terance, it has left its impression on
the eternal destiny of the mind which
conceived it, and the soul whose sen
timent first stirred the intellect to its
creation. How careful we should be
then, of our words and thoughts. Our
daily prayer should not only be to do
right, but to think and feel right, I
have the highest regard for that re
ligion which takes charge of man’s
mind, and, eradicating thoughts of
vice and sin, fills them with thoughts
of love, purity, virtue and God ; for
that religion which places the human
mind on the very highest plane and
keeps it in perfect harmony with the
divine hand. Every one has his own
special work to do, and though all can
not fill the same office nor hold the
same station, all can inspire the hearts
of their fellow beings with higher,
purer, nobler thoughts. All can so
fill their spheres, however humble,
that they will receive as much credit
and honor as though they occupied
the very highest station.

Mme. Steanbouloff, blaming Prin
cess Marie for her husband’s death,
hated her fiercely. She had the hands
of her dead husband preserved, placed
upon black velvet and inclosed in a
glass case, which she hung on the wall
of her parlor, and above the hands she
placed the portrait of her husband,
and here every day she brought her
three little children and held each up
to kiss the portrait of their father.
Then she repeated three times in a
solemn voice, “These hands of my
busband and your father are preserved
from the grave to clutch Marie Louise
of Parma and drag her away from
happiness and life. That is the widows
curse, which the Bulgarians say, has
just been fulfilled in the death of the
Princess of Bulgaria.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
d’sease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known in the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the fouc
dition of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative power, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

■ AN EASTER THOUGHT.
BY W. E II SEARCY.
Easter is the Christian festival cor
responding to the Passover of the Jews.
The passover is a solemn festival
commemorating the providential de
liverance of the Jews on the night be
fore their departure for the promised
land, when the destroying Angel woo
emote the first borne of the Egyptians,
Passed Over those houses of the He
brews that were sprinkled with the
blood of a lamb. This was the type
God gave of the Shedding of the blood
of hie son.
• The Christiane do not keep the Jew
ing festival, because the type has been
fulfilled. They have in its stead the
solemn festival commemorating the
resurrection of the Christ, which whs
the crowning event in the shedding of
his blood for man of which the shed
ing of blo d of the lamb in the passs
over was typical and the institution
of himself for ever as the living sacri
fice. The Christian festival is broader
than that of the jews Their festival
was national in character, and with
them referred to their deliverance
from the destroying Angel. The
Christian festival is universal in its
application and can not be appro
priated by any Nation, Sect, or caste.
r To the Jewish shepherds who kept
wq|ch over their flocks at night; but
the proclamation was not alone in
their interests, for the angel said unto
them, “bebold I bringyou good tidings
of great joy, which shall be to all peo*
pie.”
And so the coming of christ was not
alone to the Jew, for about the same
time the Magian Philosophers—the
wise men of the east—saw a strange
light that guided them to the birth
place of the christ.
8o on Easter morning all the people
of the world may worship their Savior.
Their is no exclusiveness in christ—
he is the Savior of the Jew and the
Gentile alike—the savior of one man
as well as another. As the angel said,
' the gospel is good tilings of great joy
for aft people.” Creeds and Dogmas
of men have hid this great truth from
the world, and millions fail to realize
. what God has done in the shedding of
s the blood of his son—could we but
j realize that we are all saved, instead
I of to be saved, and could we realize if
we are lost it is by our own choice in
going away from the sheep fold, the
. world would be happier, and many
who are following afar off would join
flock and follow the voice of the Shep
ard.
Let us all in the morning realize
that we are Christ’s, and if we have
> been astray “out on the mountains
dark and cold” let us come home,
where the protecting arms of the gen
tle Shepherd may embrace us and the
memorial of his living sacrifice bring
us forgiveness from a loving father.
I If we can realize this truth, this
Easter will be the brightest Easier we
have ever celebrated. We are al! the
offspring of God, hence children of the
same father We are all party of the
one life that was in our first parent,
‘ hence are closely related as brothers.
. Our personality alone is distinct, and
makes us separate from one another.
This personality we build for our-
• selves, and upon it rests our individual
' success, happiness and salvation. It
is written in indelible lines on the
pages of “sacred writ.” “Whatsoever
a man soweth that shall he reap.” Al)
nature echoes the sound of the sacred
voice, and in the secret debts of our
hearts weal! realize the truth.
Happy are we that we undertake to
‘ erect our personality, or, as the Ma
- sons express it, build our temples, as a
saved and not a lost spirit. Happy
are we that we build not alone, but

under the guidance of Him "who en-1

the Infinite is our father, and the

When I look over a congregation of
men, I do not see them as demons,
though some of them may sin. Ido
not look upon them as “lost spirits,"
though some of them are “out of the
fold.” I look upon them, though now 1
astray, as brothers and children of
God, whom Christ, the good Shepherd,
is ready any moment to welcome
home again. Why not join the flock
