If the huge "painting of Anglesea, at Broad and Market streets, Philadelphia, in intended to draw purchaser* to that reaort we think it will fall far short of its mark. It strikes u* that if any one contemplating the purchase of lota was shown this painting, and told that it was a true representation of Anglesca, he would very quickly drop those dollars back into his pocket and look in another direction for investments. For the very reason that we feel a deep interest in the success of this beautiful resort, we are sum u. mm n mviTirea, as n remain ly is, i»y tlie above mentioned picture. The day in which practical jokes were considered an evidence of smartness and brilliancy has long since j mused, mid thoae who, at this d*y, are oblige/ to resqrt to this method of showing their wit are considered as belonging to the name class with those pettifogging lawyers and third class newspaper men who resort to personal abuse in order to ! . .

make a |»oint. ' very often happens that the "biter is bitten" and the butt of the joke rebounds with unpleasant force upon the joker, and perhaps it is well that this is so, for in a majority of cases if the truth were kuogju the real incentjve to the perpetration of the joke lies in some secret hate or grudge and not merely in the spirit of mischief. The corner stone of the Christian faith is the belief in the rising of Christ front the dead. It is therefore natural that the day which celebrate* the resurrection should l>e a day given to rejoicing. And the time has arrived when Faster day bean to the mind not only a thought of revitalised humanity, but of a new birth of all things that grow. It is a synonym of life after death. Coming a* it does af tor a *e«i*oit of abstinence and devotion it is like the sun bursting through the clouds. Nor is the jjein-' " - u#t,i •> .. ! " — lif 41

The pretty Raster custom of preRenting to friends those beautifully colored eggs, in of ancient origin and long linage. The meaning penetrate# deeper than the shell, for in all Nations and ;n all times has the egg been the emblem of resurrection of life. Like all such days the manner of celebrating them is undergoing a radical change. Bm.

"The Uonstitutirifo of the United States originated, some centuries ago, from the minds of a few ; * ♦ • |>ut it, was never expected to be the sumo yesterday, to day, and forever.

W ha lav ei requires obedience and 14 Huscepiihle of tliaobadivnca is a law, being the nnjuirgMiit of a au|*erior (tower and authority levied upon an inferior power. The Constitution >« luore. thuu a simple "fenoa round the lil^artiea of the peopU.'-t it is a# much u measure of duty, as it is a bill of rights. It is a covenant, probably not perpetual in duration, but none the lees to he sacredly observed. All laws era susceptible of amend men t and repeal, but whilo in force they, are to be obeyed. This na1 lions! covenant, until altered or repealed, is to receive the allegiance of all the | *ates, and the support of every citizen 1 of every state. We do not doubt that the natural ami Divine laws are more surpreme than our Constitution, and this gjvat instrument is subject to the will of the i»oople, hut to argue that ten men of the union have any right to set ■ *dde that Constitution, until the united will, of the ]>enp)e, which gives the instrument its supreme authority, in the governmental sense, have decreed its overthrow, is a species of Nihilism, that will not thrive in this country. We hear too much in our time about "bills -of rights" and "charters of liberty," and not enough about tho duties of citizenship. Every bill of rights, every article «>f Agreement implies a duty, and that '

the duly to keep it inviolate, and in tho highest sense of the word all these "articles" and "bill#" are laws. Many people in our day- object to subscribing to creeds, covenants, promises or agreements, for tho reason they nay, that what is their creed to day may not be their creed to-morrow. But it is quito right for a man to promise what he sees to bo fair and just to day, and let tomorrow provide another covenant if ho should be so much of a weather-cock as to shift his opinion by to-morrow. The safety of society depends upon people navmg certain well founded views or duties and rights and obligations, and agreeing to live up to them. Inasmuch as the Constitution is the basis of Union, and without observing which that Union t?ould not endure, and by virtue of the things heretofore mentioned, we still think that instrument is the supreme law of the land, the duty to obey it and keep it sacred, being equal with the right to eqjoy the liberty it provides." - * ■* *
