singular Maternal Feeling.

On Friday last celored woman with an
infant in her arms, who said she was from
Wilson county, applied for admission into
the st. Vincent Hospital. The officers
having the institution in charge told her
that they could not admit her in that in
formal way. After remaining at the build
ingfor sometime, she was told to go to DR..
Martin. She left, and meeting a negro
girl in the street near the hospital, she
handed the baby to her requesting her to
keep it till she returned. The mother Of
the child turned off another street, since
which time she has not been heard from.
She was a very ignorant girl, apparently
from the country, and knew nothing of the
city. 1t is the opinion of our informant
that she got lost from her child and could
not find her way back. The child is at
Mr.. lGauber's, near the hospital, and its
mothers whereabouts ere unknown.

ORIGIN of Ens1cr Egrs.

Many of our little friends who are in the
habit OF giving and receiving Easter eggs
will doubtless feel like asking ''Where is
the wonderful hen that lays such beautiful
eggs upon Easter days" The tradition is
that bird which had its nest in a tree
overhanging the Holy Sepulchre, ceased
not its sad notes of woe while the Saviour
remained entombed After the resurrec-
| ton the angels that watched round the
tomb rewarded her fidelity by identifying
the eggs in her nest.
The custom of coloring eggs upon this
day IS to commemorate the beautiful con-
| stancy OF this tuneful mourner, while the
presentation of gifts on this and other
| Christian festivals is in honor of Him who
lied captivity captive and gave gifts unto
| man."
