It was inslituted by Queen Esther about 520 B. C. to commemorate' the overthrow of the wicked Haman and the Consequent et cape of the Jews from destruction. The name Purim is the plural of Pur, meaning lots ; and derives its name from the circumstance of Haman casting lots to ascertain the best day for destroying the Jews. They were cam mended: to "keep the 14th day of the month Adar and the: 15th day of the same, yearly. As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies • and the month which wit turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning unto a good day: that they. should make them days of fasting and joy, and o*ending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor." Although it was decreed that• two days should, be observed for the feast of . Purim, modern custom has 'extended the festival throughout a week. The feast of Purim began this year at sundown, on Sat urday, March 4th. The number of balls. fes tivals and other holiday observances among "the Jews all over this country, is very large. Some of them are occasions of great brit- Sang, and the display of hindsoute dresses, and costly jewels is on a scale of unsurpassed magnificence. f u 1 vb.A WIDs.
