trinity BELLS with their hollow lungs,
Their vibrant lips and their brAzen tongues
over the roofs OF the city pour
The Easter music with Joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes to the sun Iolled
Aa 10 wings along in his path Of gold.
Dearest papa" says my boy to me,
Az he merrily climbs on his mothers knee
why are these eggs that you see me hold
Cnlored 80 finely with blue and gold
And what Is the beautiful bird that lays
sufl beautiful eggs upon Easter dayat
Tenlsrly shine the April akIea,
like laughter and tears In my ehild'a blue eyes,
And every face In the street Is gay
Why cloud this yohngsters by saying nAyl
80 eudgel my brain for the tale he begs,
AND Tell him this story of the Easter eggs
You have heard, my hoy, of tbs Man who died,
crowned with koan thorns, and eFucihsd;
Aud how Joseph the Wealthy-whom God raWardi-
CARED Tor the corpse Of his mariyred Lord
And piousy tombed 1t within the rock,
Aud closed the gate with mighty block
N.m, eisss ~ tho tomb l,lr tree grew,
with pendulous leaves aud blossoms Of blue;
And deep in the green trees ahadowy breast
beautiful singing bird sat on her nest,
which waa bordered with moses like mAaGhite
And held four eggs Of an ivory white
When the bird from her dim recess
Behold the Lord In his burial dress,
And looked on the heavenly face so pale
And the dear feet pierced with the cruel nail,
Her heart nigh broke with sudden pAng,
And out OF the depths Of her sorrow she sang.
All night long, till the sun was mp,
sho sat and sang In her m0ss.Wreathed cup,
song Of sorrow as wild and shrll
As the homeless wind when II roams the hills
30 full Of tears, so loud aud long,
That the grief of the world SCENE turned u song.
But aoou their came, through the weeping night,
gllmmerlng angel clothed In white;
And he rolled the stone from the tomb away,
Where the Lord Of the Earth aud Heavens lay;
and Christ arose In the eAverns gloom,
And 10 living lustrs came from the tomb.
Now The bird that sat Ia the keArt Of the tree
BeArld this celestial Mystery,
And its heart was llled with a sweet delight,
And It poured a song the throbbng night:
y ites climbing notes till, higher, higher,
They shot to heaven like spears Of fire.
When the gllttsring, whiterobed angel heard
The sorruwfnl song Of the sorrowing bird,
And heard the following chant Of mirth
That hailed Christ risen egait on earth,
He 1aid, :" Sweet bird, be forever blest-
Thysef, the eggs, and thy mosswreRthed nest !"
And ever, my child, since that blessed night,
When Death bowed down to the Lord Of Light,
The eggs OF that sweet bird changed their hue,
And burn with red. and gold, aud blue;
Reminding mankind, in their simple way,
OF the holy marvel Of Raster day.

Nov rest for the wretehed. The long day is past,
And night on yOn river descendeth at last.
Now lock up and bolt. Hal taller, look therel
Who flies like wild bird escaped from the snare
woman, slave up out in pursuit,
While linger some CLEANS Of the day
Hoi rally thy hunters with haloo and shout,
To chase down the game, and away
bold race for freedoml On, fugitive, on
Heaven help but the right, and thy freedom Is won.
Now eager she drinks the free air Of the plains
Every limb, every nerve, every hbre she stralnsl
from Columbias glorious capital,
Columbii's daughter fees
To the sanctuary God hath given,
The sheltering forest trees.
Now she relds the Long Bridge Joy Ishtsth her eyes
Beyond her, the dense wood and darkening sky;
Wild hope thrill her breast as she nsareth the shore
Q despair there are men fast adyApsing before;
And like dtmon forms with thei- outstretehed arms
They walt TO seize their prey
She pauses she turns; ah will she flee back
Like wolves her purauers howl loud on her track;
She lfieth . heaven one lock OF despair;
Her anguish breaks forth IN one hurried prayer.
Harkl her jier's yell like = blood-hOunds bay,
On the low nightwnd II sweepsl
Now death or the chain to the stream she turns,
And she ltaps God she leapsl
The dark aud the cold yet mereiful wave
Receives To its hlsom the form of the slave.
She risea-airth'a scenes on her dim vision CLEAN,
But she sruggleth not with the strong, rushing stream
And low are the death-cries her womans heart gives
As size floats adown the river;
Faint and more faint grows her drowning voice,
And her cries have ceased forever.
Now back, jailer, back to thy dungeons again,
To swing the red lash aud rivet the chain
The form tliou wouldst fetter, valueeas clod
The soul thou wOuldst barter, returned 10 its God
hhe lifts in Ills light her unmanAeled hands
She fiees through the darkness no more;
