EASTER-EVEN.
By HARRIET NJ EVEN KIMBALL.
For Easter Day, o lilies white
Your shrined splendors keep!
But while the sweet, sad, waning light
OF Easter Even fades,
Amid the sacred shades
Where Sorrow comes to weep
Nor weeps in vain,
Since Hope is born of very Pain,
And Pain its pangs in joy forgets-
There breathe your balm, sweet violets
Dear twilight flowers whose lovely hue,
More tender than the tenderest blue,
Yet not as purple sad, appears
Most like transformed tears
"A little while !" ye seem to SIGH
And yet little while!' ye say,
THE stone shall noiseless roll away;
Unseen across the midnight sky
Twilight and Daybreak run to meet
Already angels throng the air,
And twain, descending, kneel
Yelled i'll awe, at head and feet
Of that new tomb whose broken seal
The wondering Morning shall reveal,
And He is risen declare"

had to fight it as assassination. Lincoln was
killed on the evening Of the nth of April

the purchase OF supplies, and to muster out the
army. Lincoln had promised to go to the the
atrc, and wanted me to go with him. While l
was with the President II note came from Mrs
Grant saying that she must leave Washington
that night. She wanted to go to Burlington to
see her children Some incident of u trifling
nature had made her resolve to leave that
evening. | was glad to have it so as | did not
want to go to the theatre. So | made my eX-
cuses to Lincoln, and at the proper hour we
started for the train. As we were driving
along Pennsylvania avenue horseman rode
past lis on gallop, and back again around our
carriage, looking into it. Mrs. Grant said:
There Is the man who sat near us at lunch to-
day, with some other men, and tried to over
hear our conversation. He was so rude that
we left the dining room. Here he is now, rid

but learned afteWard that the hOrseman was
Booth. 1t seemed that was to have been at

leave changed the PLAN A few days after /
received an anonymous letter from a man say
ing that he had been detailed to kill me, that
he rode on my train far as Havre de Grace,
and as my car was locked he failed to get in.
He thanked God that he had failed. | remem-
bered that the conductor had locked our car,
but how true the letter was | cannot say. /

through Philadelphia. turned around, took
a special train and came on to Washington. 1t
was the gioOmieSt day of my life
