The window J have referred to Was on thenorth side of the room, while the bed was on the south. All the curtains were up. After a minute J thought f beard a movement on the kitchen roof, and I drew the bedelothes over my head and began kicking Jim, He uttered a grunt or two and turned over, After amin, ute A pores as Sey head, ~~ now I saw a Man with preased nst the glass -of the lower sash of the pore re to mapras the room. _I tried to utter a yell, but could . nob muke a sound, [. tried to, kick Jim, but my legs were paralyzed, 1 could not even draw the sheet. over my head again, With my eyes heart By month waicbad the Yello peaty Ys ter Sunday came. : nests, I h.iven't got above three eggs in’ plate on tie bureau.

The mian drew himself up and paused for a moment in the opening. What I did I deserve no credit for, because it was born of terror and—f-wasan involantary actor. I jumped out of bed to run . down stairs. Then I remembered Jim and . would not leave him,,. The bureau was close at hand, and by accident I touched the eggs. . Picking up one of them, I hurled it with all ,my might at the object in the window. Those eggs were boiled hard, and the one I threw struck the man right between the eyes; ~The shock andthe pain caused him ! ; to loosen his hold and fall back ward on the roof, In trying to recover himself he fell off the edge of it, } As he went out of the window I yelled land bronght Jim on end, and next instant . we were flying down stairs and whooping . like savages inchase. In about five minutes the household was ready to investigetes While we believed the man had made off, we yet thought it wisest to look outside, We had scarcely got outside the kitehea door when we found him., Uncle Joo had a few days before placed a cider barrel under the eaves spout coming down at the corner of the shed roof, It was an ol cider barrel and about one-third full of water. In going off the roof the man turned over and fell head first into the bar‘rel, and the first thing we caught sight of was his heels kicking the air. : There was water enough to have drowned the fellow, and it was really wonderful how he could have plumped into the barrel When he heard us about, he began shouting and cursing and kicking, but we realized that he was in a fix and were not at all frightened! Jim sized one.of his feet and . I the other, while Uncle Joe trotted around and got a picce ofclothesline to tie them together. When we had. him securely lashed, Aunt Sally was given the candle ta hold, and the other three of us got clubs “and tipped the barrel over. The rush of water almost strangled the robber, and while he was gasping and sputtering we drew his arms behind his. back and tied them there, He was an ugly chap and no mistake. We got a knife and revolver off of him while tying his arms, and when he finally got his breath he knew that he was . helpless, Had he professed penitence and begged forgiveness J think Uncle Joe would have let him go, Aunt Sally, with her big heart, had already begun to find exctises for the prisoner, when he suddenly opened on us. I have heard some tall cussing since then, but nothing to beat his record, He Uncle Joe to pretend that he didn't bear. Ge Ee “WE FOUND HIM,” It was half a mile to the nearest neighbor’s, and Uncle Joe didn’t feel like asking us to go or going himself. Neither did we want to remain outdoors until daylight, We solved the problem by dragging the man into the kitchen, He continued eursing for some time after, but finding that he made no impression he finally cooled off and became quite civil. The hard boiled egg had struck him right between the eyeg and rajsed a big lump. When we told him what had hit him, he laughed heartily and demanded that the remainder of the eggs be turned ever to him, Just at daylight a team passed by, and we sent word ta @ eonstable, and an hour later the robber was on his way othe county jail. When he reached that institution, he was identified as an es: caped convict for whom a reward. of $800 had been offered, He had, as he admitted planned to rob the house, and by his being armed it was reasonable to conclude that he would not have stopped at murder had he bcen interfered with. H8 had. saddled one of the horses and led it into the road before mounting the roof, and hig escape would have thus been assured. When the case came to trial, the four of us were called as witnesses, of course, Unele Joe wouldn't bear on a bit, while Aunt Sally tried hard te say something in favor of the prisoner and nething nst him. He got a sentence of 10 years, while We got the 8509 and made an equal divide. .

LCopyright, 1893.) : a ASTER “is the ve “Queen of Festi. vals’’ and has been so designated even by name for hup. dreds of years. It will nodoubt seem . strange to some to be told that Easter . in many countries . is more universal: -. Oa butitis true. As Christmas is the festival which celebrates the birthday of Jesus Christ, Easter is that which cele brates his resurrection anduse:::sion. This in its origin and history almost: as interesting as those to’be found in its customs and legends. ORIGIN AND HISTORY. The name Easter is no doubt derived from’ “Bastre,” the Saxon goddess, whose festival of spring was celebrated ages ago, but whether it is from that or from “Oster,” a rising—emblematic of the resurrection—the festival itself'comes direct from the Jewish passover and is clearly a survival of the Paschal feast.”’ It is, however, different ‘rom the passover and is not, like Christmas, a fixed day of the month, but is one of the movable festivals, regulated by thd ‘ull moon and the vernal equinox, though ying always between March 26 and April 25. From the earliest days of the Christian ‘ra this festival’ has been celebrated with he deepest solemnity. To the early Chrisians.it meant more than eny other of the church's feasts. Occurring at the time of he Jewish passover and for centuries nixed,with it in date, it was yet so disinct and so different that in many countries \ necessary part of the celebration was the ating cf bacon, the special abhorrence of he Israelites. To the Christian it was n no degree connected in meaning with the yassover, Its meaning was to him the besinning of a new jéfe, a new world. It was he constant.reminder to him of his Savour's vietory over death and the grave. For hundreds of years the salutation on taster morning of “‘Surrexit!’’ (He is risen) wnd the solemn response, ‘Vere surrexit,”’ He'‘is risen indeed), cemented and bound loser together for another revolution of the un the hearts of true believers. For hunlreds of years the ceremonies have been cept up, They have passed from one counry to another; they have gone from one wople to.a different one. With each succesive step changes have come; with each ad“epes inte new territory modifications have wisen. National and even local characteratics have stamped themselves upon the ‘eremonics, causing many changes, and in ome. instances new features have been oR Dig Dineen ay tmenl nomen erinerwrane eax aly celebrated»than . nant of the old lee Christmas itself, ‘ country is the ‘Master egg I patural and best. that the last of the queen of festivals has lessons v rapped up" the close of Lent—or the acai or wititer— still typifies the defeat of the grave, yet even the children of today no longer rise at daylight ‘to see the sun ditnce’’—a helicf which writers of less than a é¢entury ago soberly argued was without foundation and the great bonfires which for so many years represented the ancient paschal tpers have been quenched by the waves of modern thought. » <THE EASTER EGG, Almost the only thing left us is the \paschal egg—the emblem of the resurrection, the symbol of renewed lHfe—which has come down through the ages to us. The old German custom of ‘Liree cegs (pes sibly representing the Trinity), and the Aus trian eg of gold or silver filled with costly knickknatks, and the dyed egg of the poor or classes, all look bnék totheix. predecessor, the paschal egg, that was branded down from. the Egyptians, and aces before the. same emblem of renewed éxistence wat given-as an offering among the Parces and on the banks of the sacred rivers of India. ’ Borrowed by the-early Christians and made use of to typify the renewed spiritual life, it has come down to Us toda; in the 20th century—with most of iis le: ends scientifically explained and most of its old customs forgotten, The chief rem ds and custoris in this WwW ch L208 find in the carly morming an laid-by white rabinits, And perhi . bolical. lessons to disappear should . lof renewed spiritual life, associated with the emblem_of purity.

CUSTOMS AND LEGENDS. threatened, bluffed, commanded and de manded, and Aunt Sally had to flee and The, fact that the joys and delights of astor follow immediately after the peniential season of Lent is responsible for aany of the customs that have accomanied and the modes of celebration that iave characterized the day. When the venitents in southern Italy, during the last aye of Lent; insolent procession marched varefoot over rough roads, and covered with sackcloth dropped blood from brows which vere encireled and pierced with a crown of ‘bor: 5, it is searcely to be wondered at that heir depressed spirits, when released, 20uuled from tears to dancing and disorlerly gatherings, even inside the churches. ind reached such extremes in the 16th cenJury thet such gatherings, religious though shey were, had to be suppressed. In Rome the celebration’s were sufficiently iecorous. The decorations and ornamentations were most extensive. The pageantry of armed bodies of men and in later years salutes of cannons, the carrying of the pope himself to St. Peter’s under a gilded ¢an»py to.officiate at mass with imposing acsessories, all tended to make thé celebration a grand-and impressive oné. The same impressiveness and seriousness smcompassed the day forfiearly 2,000 years among those peopleWwho © lived among mountain fastnessés or away from the beaten highways’ of civilization. Among the Swiss and Tyrolese, and even in parts of Russia to-day, the ‘Sunday of Joy”! witnesses the Easter kiss and the salutaticn “Surrexit,” with its pious response, ‘Vere surrexit.”” In these primitive regions the bells still ring upon" Holy Saturday, the zealous still sing Haster hymns, every ceremony is carried out, and to them the Suylour’s death, burial and resurrection are as real as they were to the disciples 20 centuries ago. : In other countries, however: (it has different.” The solemn meanings of Soe ceremonies have degenerated into puerilities, and religious rejaicings have drifted into farcical and hilarious exhibitions, The closing of legal tribunals, the dispensing of alms, the freeing of slaves and the turning loose of caged birds, all typifying the devotion of each te the joys following freedom from the bondage of sin and the freedom of Christ from the fetters of the grave, have been characteristic of all countries, but-in many have assumed different phases. Liberty became license sometimes, as when the priests and clergy joined in the farcical exhibitions, told sta and read very questionable stories the pulpits, played handball from the altar and joined jn feasts which became riotous ergies, even inside me haters building. These were in time suppressed, but of the customs which wenia now “no doubt be considered coarse were then deemed: quite harmless, sygh as the “taking off of shoes” and the “lifting,” for penalties, ete, In many countries girls and women rarely appeared on the streets Easter Monday, because whoever met them might stop them and take their shoes, to be redeemed only by fees op kisses. The women could retaliate upon men and boys the following day. The origin of this, it is thought, was the ancient custom of removing the shoes when standing mpen holy ground, enturies ago the eustom of ‘ifting”’ on Easter morging was universal, Men would go through the streets in pairs, carrying bet ven them ® gayly decorated chair, into w they would seat every woman encountered and lift her as high as they could above Whole hands, his custom originated in the on or lifting up of the Saviour and in later into the ng,” wi caused every man to giv up Easter Monday to the sport. led i with chairs, they would houses without ceremony, Woasee ‘eons retaliate Mrs. Drowsie—I didn't thitik your sei mon this morning was gs good as ustal You seemed to be upcasy.

The mian drew himself up and paused for a moment in the opening. What I did I deserve no credit for, because it was born of terror and—f-wasan involantary actor. I jumped out of bed to run . down stairs. Then I remembered Jim and . would not leave him,,. The bureau was close at hand, and by accident I touched the eggs. . Picking up one of them, I hurled it with all ,my might at the object in the window. Those eggs were boiled hard, and the one I threw struck the man right between the eyes; ~The shock andthe pain caused him ! ; to loosen his hold and fall back ward on the roof, In trying to recover himself he fell off the edge of it, } As he went out of the window I yelled land bronght Jim on end, and next instant . we were flying down stairs and whooping . like savages inchase. In about five minutes the household was ready to investigetes While we believed the man had made off, we yet thought it wisest to look outside, We had scarcely got outside the kitehea door when we found him., Uncle Joo had a few days before placed a cider barrel under the eaves spout coming down at the corner of the shed roof, It was an ol cider barrel and about one-third full of water. In going off the roof the man turned over and fell head first into the bar‘rel, and the first thing we caught sight of was his heels kicking the air. : There was water enough to have drowned the fellow, and it was really wonderful how he could have plumped into the barrel When he heard us about, he began shouting and cursing and kicking, but we realized that he was in a fix and were not at all frightened! Jim sized one.of his feet and . I the other, while Uncle Joe trotted around and got a picce ofclothesline to tie them together. When we had. him securely lashed, Aunt Sally was given the candle ta hold, and the other three of us got clubs “and tipped the barrel over. The rush of water almost strangled the robber, and while he was gasping and sputtering we drew his arms behind his. back and tied them there, He was an ugly chap and no mistake. We got a knife and revolver off of him while tying his arms, and when he finally got his breath he knew that he was . helpless, Had he professed penitence and begged forgiveness J think Uncle Joe would have let him go, Aunt Sally, with her big heart, had already begun to find exctises for the prisoner, when he suddenly opened on us. I have heard some tall cussing since then, but nothing to beat his record, He Uncle Joe to pretend that he didn't bear. Ge Ee “WE FOUND HIM,” It was half a mile to the nearest neighbor’s, and Uncle Joe didn’t feel like asking us to go or going himself. Neither did we want to remain outdoors until daylight, We solved the problem by dragging the man into the kitchen, He continued eursing for some time after, but finding that he made no impression he finally cooled off and became quite civil. The hard boiled egg had struck him right between the eyeg and rajsed a big lump. When we told him what had hit him, he laughed heartily and demanded that the remainder of the eggs be turned ever to him, Just at daylight a team passed by, and we sent word ta @ eonstable, and an hour later the robber was on his way othe county jail. When he reached that institution, he was identified as an es: caped convict for whom a reward. of $800 had been offered, He had, as he admitted planned to rob the house, and by his being armed it was reasonable to conclude that he would not have stopped at murder had he bcen interfered with. H8 had. saddled one of the horses and led it into the road before mounting the roof, and hig escape would have thus been assured. When the case came to trial, the four of us were called as witnesses, of course, Unele Joe wouldn't bear on a bit, while Aunt Sally tried hard te say something in favor of the prisoner and nething nst him. He got a sentence of 10 years, while We got the 8509 and made an equal divide. .

LCopyright, 1893.) : a ASTER “is the ve “Queen of Festi. vals’’ and has been so designated even by name for hup. dreds of years. It will nodoubt seem . strange to some to be told that Easter . in many countries . is more universal: -. Oa butitis true. As Christmas is the festival which celebrates the birthday of Jesus Christ, Easter is that which cele brates his resurrection anduse:::sion. This in its origin and history almost: as interesting as those to’be found in its customs and legends. ORIGIN AND HISTORY. The name Easter is no doubt derived from’ “Bastre,” the Saxon goddess, whose festival of spring was celebrated ages ago, but whether it is from that or from “Oster,” a rising—emblematic of the resurrection—the festival itself'comes direct from the Jewish passover and is clearly a survival of the Paschal feast.”’ It is, however, different ‘rom the passover and is not, like Christmas, a fixed day of the month, but is one of the movable festivals, regulated by thd ‘ull moon and the vernal equinox, though ying always between March 26 and April 25. From the earliest days of the Christian ‘ra this festival’ has been celebrated with he deepest solemnity. To the early Chrisians.it meant more than eny other of the church's feasts. Occurring at the time of he Jewish passover and for centuries nixed,with it in date, it was yet so disinct and so different that in many countries \ necessary part of the celebration was the ating cf bacon, the special abhorrence of he Israelites. To the Christian it was n no degree connected in meaning with the yassover, Its meaning was to him the besinning of a new jéfe, a new world. It was he constant.reminder to him of his Savour's vietory over death and the grave. For hundreds of years the salutation on taster morning of “‘Surrexit!’’ (He is risen) wnd the solemn response, ‘Vere surrexit,”’ He'‘is risen indeed), cemented and bound loser together for another revolution of the un the hearts of true believers. For hunlreds of years the ceremonies have been cept up, They have passed from one counry to another; they have gone from one wople to.a different one. With each succesive step changes have come; with each ad“epes inte new territory modifications have wisen.

In Rome the celebration’s were sufficiently iecorous. The decorations and ornamentations were most extensive.
