Slab Walks.

Pieces of old boards are Objectionable, as
they are SC liable to be pushed out of their

walks is to procure wagon-load OF wide

We've watched beside our Savior's cross We've sorowed at his grave; But now he's broken deaths dark bonds. Our Jesus, strong to save! Fair blossoms on the Easter morn Fling forth their fragrance sweet, And tell of Resurrectitn joy, And Jesus work complete! But fairer still the offering,
 Each loving heart should bring, Of ffaith and love and penitence. To Christ it's risen King. So, on the glorious Easter day, Our gladsome song we raise, And echo cen to Heyen's own gates Our happy notes of praise! For He who died is risen again. 'The Life. the Truth, the Way!"
