EASTER EGGs.-In almost all Christian
countries the custom still prevails of eggs be-
ing given as present at Easter time. In Ger
many they are generally hid by the older peo-
pie in the gardens under the young gooseberry
bushes and other early plants, when they are
looked for by beves of little children, and great
is the JOY at finding one Of peculiar richness in
ornament, for they are all decked in gay colors
and covered with gold and silver devices. In
France, the eggs, although still so called, have
degenerated into costly boxes of bon bons or
even more expensive presents, which are ex-
changed by friends according to the French
proverb, that 'ittle presents keep up friend
ship In Russia alone they have maintained
their sacred character and are given with the
words. "Christ is arisenl" Every body, at
home or abroad, has supply of Easter eggs
about him; every passer by is thus accosted
and the two eggs are knocked against each
other The owner of the harder one, which
has succeeded in breaking the other, carries
off both. In spite of this association with the
reason OF Easter and the sacred character given
to the custom by the Greek church, these eggs
originated in the far East; and are OF heather
nature In the Orient the egg is well known
to be the symbol of the primitive state Of
things, of the creation which developed the
germ Oh I'LL UulLSS. 4NOW GuCiC IuC 4\C" L Cdl
begins still, as it has ever done, with the spring
equinoxes, and the festive occasion is celebra-
ted by the giving away feggs. At this period,
when the year and all nature begins anew, gilt
and gaily painted eggs are sent from friend to
friend as tokens of the renewal of all things.
From there the custom found its way to the
western parts of Europe, where for centuries
the year also began with the opening of spring,
and the egg remained an appropriate symbol.
Since the time when Charles TX Of France first
fixed the beginning of the year upon the first Of
January, the custom has gradually lost it's an,
Gent Specification, but Easter eggs are still well
known in all parts Of the world. }
In the South, before the wal, the Easter ho!i-
days were strickly observed by the children and
colored people, and the school teacher who
kept school, and the master who exacted any
work, during them, was looked upon as man
without soul.
