Easter Eggs.

The custom of eating eggs at Easter
has been traced up, not only to the the
ology of Egypt, but to the philosophy
of the Persians, the Gauls, the Greeks,
and the Romans, all of whom regarded
the egg as an emblem of the universe
and the work of Deity. Easter" says
Goblin, I" and New Years have been
marked by similar distinctions. Among
the Romans the New Year is looked upon
as the renewal of all things, and is noted
for the triumph of the son of nature, as
Easter is with the Christians for the Son
of Justice, the Savior of the world, over
death by His resurrection. The early
Christians of Mesopotamia had the GUS
tom of dyeing and decorating eggs at
Easter. They were stained red in men,
DRY of the blood of Christ shed at his
crucifxion. The Catholic Church
adopted the custom, and regarded the
egg as the emblem of the resurrection,
as is evidenced by the beilediction of
Pope Paul ", about 1910, which reads
thus: 'sBless, o Lord! we beseech
Thee, this Thy creature of eggs, that it
may become wholesome sustenance to
Thy faithful servants, eating it in thank
fulness to Thee on account of the resur-
rection of the Lord Thus the custom
has come down from the ages lost in
antiquity .

April Snow.

The green was creeping DER the brown,
The skies dropt bluebirds, yesterday;
Again to-day the snowis down
And spring a thousand miles away
And here's that mischief March again;
HIS four wild horses snort and prance
He rides and pipes his weirdest strain
To lead the show flakes goblin dance.
Deep in the lonely wood she covers,
Keeping alive-the heart knows how
Der her few pale arbutus flowers.
And yet-for her the birds sing clear,
A song OF May more sweet than May;
To hope amid the storms of fear,
An. how divinely dawns the day!
And April SHOWS q magic shower,
And April sunshine's fairy gold;
The cloudy drifts like rainbo VS. flower,
Life thrills the blind and breathless mold.
Come. April of the the violet eyes,
And snowdrop face, and dreamful heart,
One laughing look to earth and skies
And all the world will take thy part.
Thine are the smiles that grow in tears,
Thine the dear hidden hope that springs
Forever fresh from withered years,
Anu thine the sweetest voice that sings
Carl Spencer, in Christian Union.

Jewels of the Crown of Scotland.

At Edinburg, Scotland, some Yeas since,
the Jewels of the Crown were ocked In box,
that box in another, and SO on, until they
were supposed to be burglar-proof They were
then locked up in the vault OF the castle, there
to remain for one hundred years, the keys
being placed in a mortar and fired into the sea-
Scarce fifty years passed by, and the modern
lock-picker opens the vault and boxes without
trouble. So the science of medicine, when
studied with the aid of chemistry and the mi
croscope, becomes plain and simple, and dis
eases that were regarded incurable genera
ton ago. now readily yield to remedies en-
p1oyed by the modern and progressive physi-
clan. A decade of years since, and women
were taught to believe that their peculiar dis
eases and weaknesses were incurable; but now
hundreds and thousands % once bed-ridden
women in the United States will testify to the
fact that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
has effected their perfect and permanent cure
TOLEDO OHIO Dec. 9th 1876
Dr.. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dedr !Sjf-About five years since my wife was
taken sick, and though we employed the best
physicians in our city, yet she gradually grew
worse, so that she was confined to the bed.
Every remedy had tried, or could find, failed
to cure or even give relief. At last procured
a bottle of your Favorite Prescription and to
my surprise it gave almost instant relief, and
with little perseverance an entire cure was
effected. Ever gratefully yours,

A Famous Ratter.

That was q famous ratter that st.
Clair Street man purchased last week.
He couldn't remember, he said to his
wife, just how many rats that dog had
slaughtered at one inning, but it was
something marvellous. There was no
doubt about it, for he learned it from the
man of whom he bought the dog, and
surely he ought to know. The dog was in
dustriously polishing a bone while his
owner was showing and holding forth
on his good points, when a rat was OBJ
served to come out from under the
house and go shifting about, after the
manner of its race, on the hunt for
something to eat, and gradually drew
near the famous ratter.
"Now, watch him!" whispered his
owner, while his eyes lighted up with
the excitement of anticipated sport,
"Just keep your eye on him!"
"Why, the dog doesn't seem to see
him, does he?' said the lady of the
house.
That's all right, he is laying for
him. You'll see some fun directly.
There, he sees him now"
eyes, but what makes him stick his
tail between his legs that way, and bris-
tie up so?''
"Oh, that's all right. I guess he
does that because he's mad. Don't say
o world"
The rat approached nearer and near
er to his doom; the dog trembled with
excitement and anxiety to get at the
game-at least that's what his owner
said-when the cheeky rodent, after
getting within about foot of the bone,
skipped up and seized it, and shot back
into his hole as though he had forgotten
something, while the famous ratter let
out shrill chorus of yelps, and nearly
tripped his disguised owner up in shoot
ing around and between his legs to es-
cape legions of imaginary rats.-Cleue-

hours of practice with tools and three
hours of study. Among other judicious
features of the plan, we may note that
during the first twelvemonth the pupil
passes one or two months alternately in
each of the specialties taught, so that
he can determine which suits his taste,
while the directors can observe his apti-
tudes. Only at the beginning of the
second year does the apprentice, with
the advice of his parents and teachers,
decide upon a given trade, to which
thenceforward he devotes himself ex-
clusively.
The creation of this school would
have been impracticable during the
second Empire, and under the existing
regime it has encountered many obsta-
cles. Yet its progress has been remark
able. The number of apprentices,
which four years ago was Il, is now
nearly 200. But it was the quality of
the education conferred which most i'm
pressed Prof. Stuart. Two things
commonly supposed to be irrcconcia-
BILE in practice had been effected. In
the class which had just completed
three years course he found each grad
uate, in the most exacting sense, a skill
ed workman. Not only this, but he
found these apprentices had acquired
general knowledge at least equal to that
bestowed by most business colleges, and
of kind far more pertinent to the af-
fairs of life than that demanded by n
degree of Bachelor of Arts. In other
words, the young workman had gone
forth from this admirable school at once
a producer and a citizen.

Mrs. JOHN MCCALLIsTER, of Circle

Sal in the oven of her stove for safe
keeping. The next morning she built a
fire in the stove before she thought of
where she had placed the money, and
was startled to find the entire amount
consumed with the exception of several
dollars. in silver change. She is wom-
