A CAROL OF COOKERY.
My face Is very wan and pale,
My wasted checks nro h.iRKard;
My trcinWIng limbs their nlllce fall.
Anil make tnc seem a laggard.
My wonted grace lias gone; Indeed
My smile Is now sardonic,
In short, I seem In grievous need
Of some erteetlvo tonic.
My friends who. In Ilio days of old
When I was strnnt; and healthy.
Admired me, have all grown cold,
As It I were not wealthy.
Yoit'ask to what this change Is Uup?
a very naiurai question.
I answer I'm a Ictlni to
Most awful Indigestion.
Some lady friends of mine, you see,
lloth homely and good-looking,
Have organized qulto recently
A ladles' school for cooking.
To cook well Is their fondest wish,
And, as they are not wasteful,
They have me try each novel dish
To see if It U tasteful.'
Their doughy cake, their pale "puff-paste"
And all suspicious viands
re iiofallowed to go to waste; '
All find their way to my hands.
Ah, woe Is in e 1 I'u learned with pain
That when girls make a custard,
The useful egg they qulto disdain;
Hut put In lots of mustard.
They'e done their best of me to mako
A useful kitchen fixture.
I know the taste of wedding-cake
When llavored with cough-mixture.
There's Charlotte, sprlslitllcst of girls,
Whose, schemes nit have their uses,
I'te learned to lleq when sho unfurls
Her subtle Charlotte Kusses.
Their pies and biscuits ma'fc mo sick,
Their puddings, too, ol rue ,
Their coffee, oh, sa black and thl.-kl
I drink it, but I rue It,
Although I'd love w'thout demur
Each culinary fairy,
A hotter clime I'd much prefer
To this placo lool an airy.
Broailluiin's Nef York Letter
Special to the Cahiiox Aivqcatk.
Ve arc now In the midst of the most
joyous festival of the year, not even cx
centin" Christmas. Christmas comes
wit ii the hoar frost, snow and Ice. T
the poor it is always a season of suffer
lug and sorrow; but Easter cheers our
heart with sunshine ami (lowers, mak
ing the children of men glad iu every
clinic, that Christ was Indeed horn
again. On every hand wo hear and
read of Increasing skepticism of theasc'
but not In the memory of living men on
tho American continent lias there been
such a general ohserrancc of Lent; or
such reverential respect paid to tho
duties of Passion week; or such a joy
ous recognition of the glory of Christ's
resurrection, as wo have witnessed up
to the closing of this Raster festival. It
was not alone in the churches, that un
usual interest was manifested; stores of
all classes caught tip Ihe general en
thusiasm, nnd tho tribute of flowers to
Christ's lesurreetiou has nevei been
equalled In this city. It Is well that It
is so, even if Darwin and Huxley anil
Spencer are right. If we cvoluted from
nothing, and the fittest arc bound to
survive, the world is better for Ills hav
ing been, who on that Easter morning,
eighteen hundred anil fifty years ago,
rolled back tho great marble slab from
tho doors of the tomb, and walked forth
arrayed iu robes of light transfigured
to all eternity, as the symbol of peaco
and of man's redemption. Some of
these learned gentlemen tell us, that the
whole story Is a monkish fable, and
presently we shall begin to doubt If
there ever wns a Mount of Olives, or a
Gaulcn of Gethseincnc, or the Way of
Sorrow, or the Heights of Calvaiy, or
even Jerusalem itself. The crescent
flies above the threshing floor of On, and
the Moslem stands guard by the rock
where Jacob saw the atmcls ascending
and descending in his dream; hut to the
millions of little ones who gathered
around the altar on tills Easter morn In
every christian land, Christ is as much
a Hying presence as when he preached
upon the Mount of Olives or stood trans
figured on the side of Calvary.
On Good Friday, not a respectable
theatre was open in New i'ork or
Hrooklyn; tbo theatrical managers be
lieving that public sentiment demanded
the suspension of theatrical perform
ances on that sacred day. For several
years past in the churches without ex
ception, there has been a special effort
tor the glorification of Easter, lor
j centuries It has been the great festival i
1 of the Catholic church, and when thai
'co icclasm of the Information rullilcss -
ly expunged some of the most sacred
festivals from tho church's calendar,
Easier remained untouched by sacre
ligioiis hands, and became a day

Not In nil tho centuries since the
resurrection havo wo needed a sign of
peace In tho heaven, so much ns now,
for while I write .the two great cities of
New York and Brooklyn are convulsed
hy the upheaval pf labor, nnd nt nny
moment wc may expect to hear the
rifles of the National Guard In stern
arbitrament of that deadly quarrel which
refnsns the, appeal of reason.
In Brooklyn thousands of men are on
the strike, and they parado tho strccis
with tho red ribbon of commune on
their coats, the same bloody symbol
which carried such desolation to the
icart of Paris a few years ago, nnd left
such a blot on our civilization, that the
world will not recover from Itfora thou
sand years to come. In this city thou
sands of strikers are massed together In
sullen defiance, an.l the slightest spark
might fire a tralr that would strew our
streets with the dying nnd the dead. I
have no fear of the final result. At nil
hazard, and at every cost the peace and
the law will be maintained. There Is
not the slightest doubt that the authori
ties of both cities fully appreciate the
danger, and are abundantly able to cope
with it. Tills being the feast of the Pass-
over, we hope and trust that the destroy
ing angel will pass us by.
The heavy hand of want Is felt in the
homes of the strike! s, and there Is no
telling to what extremes their desperate
necessities may drive them. In the city
of Hrooklyn are the largest sugar houses
in the United States, one firm alone
ships 10,000 barrels of sugar a day. At
the lime of the strike last week $200,000
worth of saccharine was in the course
of treatment in the factories of the
Ilavcmcycrs alone. The strikers shrewd
ly calculated that the loss of this large
sum would bring the firm to Instant
terms. It was a severe test, but the
Ilavcmcycrs resolved to lose tho whole
of It rather than to submit to have their
business controlled by any outsiders
whom they did not know. Hy outside
assistance they were saved from great
loss, ami thev will not start again till
the labor question Is settled.
For the last few days committees have
been going the rounds soliciting sub
scriptions for the strikers, and the store
keepers applied to were given to under
stand If they did not respond handsome
ly they might expect the terrible boycott.
This looks to me very much like black-
mall. I nm a working man. I have
bad to work all my life, ever since I was
a hoy ten years old. Every day has'had
to cam its dally bread. The only capi
tal I have Is niv labor, and now the
question comes. Do I own it, or is It
the properly of some oilier man, nnd
must I use my little capital as he directs
me? I hate tyranny, I hatescrvllu.de, I
don't like being driven to do anything,
I don't care, whether the tyrant who
dilvcs me to do that which I don't want
to do Is n Kallroad Wrecker, an Iron
Hearted Employer, an Anti-Monopolist
or a Knight of I.abor;if he tries to make
n.e a slave I'll fight. It is not the In
dividual I object to eo much as the
principle. I am willing that every man
shall use his labor as he himself sees fit,
and that privilege Is all I ask for myself,
and in defence of it if needs be I nm
quite willing to die. This striking looks
to mo like a terrible mistake. You
don't hurt the boss, It Is only the striker
and bis family that stiller. You strike
on a western railroad and stops its trains
from running, nnd Jay Gould makes
more manipulating stocks for a week
than he could make running railroads
for a month. The workmen of Hrooklyn
shut up the sugar bouses and up goes
sugar fifteen per cent., and without
raising a hand the Hnvcmeyers make
between forty and fifty thousand dollars
and all the rest of the sugar refiners
large stuns If you burn their houses
over their heads the Insurance com
panies or tho city lias to pay them for
it, aud the consequence is increased
taxes and higher rent for tho poor
striker. All sorts of provisions have
had a sham rise, meat lias gone up two or
threccents a pound and everything else In
proportion. Tills Is deplorable nnd we
await the revelations of the next few day
with anxiety. It Is no longera question
of wages, oil the firms are inclined to
give an advance of from ttn to fifteen
percent, on wages; but the stitiggle
now is for tho recognition of tho labor
unions. It Is evident thai one party or
the oilier must give way before a satis
factory settlement can be arrived nt.
There is no objection on the part of the
employers here to union men, or to their
employees banding themselves together
for mutual assistance, but what they
object to Is driving every man out of
their employ who does i.ot see fit to join
their unions.
The arrest of thirty boycotting tailors
has caused a profound sensation and
will no doubt be made a test case for
the final settlement of this vexed ques
tion. In particular Instances a number
have been fined small sums, nnd there
Is a disposition now In the courts to
treat all boycotters as conspirators, it
being a criminal offence under the
statute to Intimidate a man or woman
In the exercise of his or her business.
Dut, wlille social revolution thunders
at our door, hundreds are being married
and given in marriage, and Ihe chime
of wedding bells and the perfume of
wedding flowers have enlivened the fes
Initios of Easier week. One steamer
carried off ten brides to Europe, and the
bridal departures on a singlu day reached
thirty. Many of tho weddings have
1 been among the ton, and tho fashion-
able world has been In n blaze of glory,
England alono took ten of our most
- beautiful girls away from us, ami report

A new cargo of .Mormons arrlved oh .

transport them to Utah to recruit tho
Mormon army. Meanwhile investiga
tion drags her slow length along but no
body Is convicted though many tiro
threatened with dan er.
In the midst of our trouble Nature
kindly gives .us some compensation.
The parks look lovely and the streets
are crowded. On the surface we never
looked gayer or happier than we do
now. The theatres and concert halls
are full every night, nnd nt all of our
great stores business Is rushing. Trust
ing that the dangers that now threaten
us may pass nway, and that when I
next write all of the men now on strike
will be back nt work with Increased pay
and satisfactory hours of labor.

Another senator, standing by, made
some laughing criticism upon the ex

"An old tavern-keeper In ono of our
pinc-wood towns, was a rough, half
pious, wholly honest man, .who utterly

a professional gambler, could not live
without excitement of the sort. One
day he insisted upon laying a bet that
the namo on a sign across the street was
spelled without tho r it needed to make
it a name. Every one could sco that

finally the landlord took him up, and of
course the man lost. Ho stayed on
however, a week or two; but finally
packed his bag and called for his bill
Tho place wns too slow for him. The
landlord gave him the bill $1C0. The
man looked at it, and then said: 'Do
you ever read Iho Hlble, landlord? Were
you piously brought up?' "
"Oh I yes, I know my catechism now,
and I read the Hiblt more or less."
" 'Do you know tho story of Samson?
"Well, I guess. I was brought up on
that. My mother told It to mo when 1
wasn't knee high.'
"'Ah! What kind of a jaw-bone was
it that Sampson killed the Philistine
witli? I'll bet you don't know.'
"Why, It was a jaw-bone just a jaw
bone, and nothing more.'
"'I thought so. I'll bet you a hun
dred and sixty-five dollars that It was a
new jaw-bone.'
"It was too much for tho landlord,
lie succumbed again, although he felt
as before that ho was betting upon a
certainty; but, "if the man would do
it"
"The man took a little worn Hlble out
of his bag, turned to the chapter in
Judges, and read that, with 'the new
jaw-bone of an ass, did Samson slay
tho Philistine.
"The landlord turned round, saying:
'Look for it In my mother's good old
Hlble I' taking it down as lie spoke.
" 1 he gambler found It, and held the
text under his eyes.
" 'It seems to read so,' said the land
lord In a humbled tone, feeling the
whole board bill float away from him as
he spoke.
"And It has been adopted as North
