A SONG OF EASTER.

Sing, children sing! Il
And the lily censers swing:
Sing that life and Joy are waking
And that Death no more is king.
Sing the happy, happy tumult OF the slowly
Frightening spring;
Sing, little children, sing!
Sing, children, sing!
Winter wild has taken wing.
Fill the air with the sweet tidlngS TILL the
frosty echoes ring!
Along the caves the icIcles no longer glitter
ing cling;
And the crocus in the garden lifts its bright
face to thesun:
And in the meadows softly the brooks begin
to run;
And the golden catkins swing in the warm
airs of the spring;
, Sing, little children, singh
Sing. little children, sing!
The lilies white you bring
In the joyous Easter morning, for hope are
blossoming;
And as the earth her shrowd of snow from
off her breast doth fling,
80 may we cast her letters of in Gods eternal
spring!
Sweet are your eyes. o little ones, that look
with smiling grace,
Without shade of doubt or fear, into the
Futures face!
Sing, sing. in happy chorus, with joyful
voices tell.
That death is life, and God is good, and all
things shall be well:
That bitter DAYS shall cease
In warmth and light and peace;
That winter yields to spring.
Sing, little children, sing!

HER HISTORY.

The Story ofa Woman's Life Read From
Some Crumbled Keepsakes.
A woman from her earliest conscious
ness inclines to "reminiscences. As she
grows up she stamps each notable
adventure and each pleasant friendship
upon her mind by some token. Our
dime museums, with their meager col
lection of odds and bits, would pale
into nothingness when compared with
the bottom drawer of a girls bureau.
This she generally devotes to her keep
sakes. At five she begins storing it
with horse-chestnuts and broken bits
of colored pencils given her by dear
friends Some of these are the mysteries
of the .'secrets" which are the life of
childhood's freemasOnry. BY ten she
has gold-piece, generally bestowed
by a bachelor uncle. and perhaps some
tokens from friends that are dead.
There are pressed four-leaved clovers,
pin-cushions with geological tendencies,
grav-hannel rabbits and such, few
carefully-preserved valentines, some
bottles that once held perfumery and
now present only fadingrecOllectiOn
to the nostrils. At seventeen she has
some faded viOlets. some locks of hair,
a few scraps of dried orange-peel, II
collection ofdancing programmes. and.
carefully tucked in the furthermost
corner. bundle of notes tied with q
blue ribbon. As the years pass still the
treasures increase. BY and by the
wedding slippers are laid away in the
drawer which holds the valentines,
and still, as the years pass, comes a
pair of the wee'st shoes kicked out at
heel, and silken curl. which shows
silvery gold in the light. After this
the keepsakes are fewer. and are oftener
the souvenirs of sad days than of glad
ones. Finally, after long time, some
one lays away in the drawer a thumbed
red testament, with n lock of gray hair
and thread-thin wedding ring. Then
the drawer is lOcked.-BOstOn Globe.

A ROYAL MILDLY.

| Short History of the Two Noble Houses OF
Which He Is Scion.
The grandson of the Emperor of
Brazil was recently visiting New Or
leans and received royal honors from
the people of the Crescent City. While
the young man is only a midshipman
in rank, he is a scion of two of the old
est reigning houses in the world. The
house of Braganza, above four hundred
years old in its own name, is descended
from the old Portuguese Kings. and
through them from one of the heroic
soldiers of the middle ages. that Alton
SO who built up the little kingdom by
sixty years of stout battle. and who
captured Lisbon from the Moslems in
the year 1147. The Brazilian branch
of the family, in consequence of inter-
marriage, is also descended from st.
Louis, and through him from
Hugo Capet, ancestor of thirty
two French Kings, born more
than half way back to Christ. 1t
is also descended from the mighty
house of Hapsburg, and indeed indi-
rectly from all the royalty of the Old
World. The career of the Brazilian
Braganzas has been one of honor and
progress. Rulers over 3, POO, 900 square
miles of territory, that is about POO, 900
more than the United States, if we ex-
clude Alaska, they have ever been
found in the advance of civilization
The Emperor drew up with his own
hand the law whereby no slave can be
born in Brazil; the recent amendments
to the statutes on the subject of slavery
will unquestiOnably uproot the whole
slave system by the end of this century.
The ruling house is in high favor with
the people. and this only American
monarchy Is not in the slightest danger
of becoming a republic, unless in the
distant future some unworthy descend
ant of Kings should obtain the scepter
and provoke arevolution, The heiress
to the throne is highly educated lady,
and will continue the liberal traditions
of her house. Chicago Inter Ocean.

4 Gfeen-Lo0king Stranger who Wore 0at
Three Confidence Men.
''Why, Mr.. Smith, how do you do? It
has been so long since / saw you down
at Alton, that had almost forgotten
you," said a confidence man, stepping
up to Jones, who was rather a rustic
looking man, and shaking him warmly
BY the hand.
'.My friend, you are little of there"
said Jones. my namo is Brown. and
I'm from GAINESVILLE"
20, beg your pardon. Y,u look so
much like my old friend Smith that 1
could have sworn that it was he." And
number one walked hurriedly away.
Jones had proceeded but few blocks
when he was accOsted by number two.
..Well, well! if this isn't my old friend
Brown, from GAINESVILLE. When did you
come down? Left all the folks well. I
supposed
'.My dear sir. you are mistaken. I'm
not Brown. from GAINESVILLE; I'm Greene,
from Peru"
"'Pon my life. but you look just like
u,
him"
Number two passes quietly out OF
sight, and soon number three comes
across Jones, standing leisurely in front
of the hotel. Sure of his cue, he pro-
ceeds:
Hello, Greene, old boy, found at last!
I've been looking all over the city for
you. and, by lingo, here you are, Let's
step around the corner and take some
thing"
'.Mein friend, see you anyding in mine
eve dat green looks? Mine name ish
Herr Bautelschneider, und l am Won

Thus number three passed on, and,
when the trio came to compare notes
resolved unanimously ''that they had
struck the wrong man. "-Lige Brown,
