popular, making up the greater part of that
immense mass Of gifts which each year
makes its way from friend to friend What
could be more peculiarly appropriate or
more beautiful in artistic adornment than
these sermons in SHELF" The custom of
bestowing gifts at Easter is one fraught
with the tenderest feeling and replete with
expression of good will. When the gifts
bestowed are tok&s of loving hope and

this spirit, then we celebrate in true sense
this season of universal rejoicing to which
the lilies and the purple passion flowers are
consecrated. -Effie NJ .Huddleston, in St

Rose wished the kind-hearted, but un-

lest her secret was guessed The truth
was that Mr.. Clitfords plebeian tastes, us

eyes rested upon the sweet, chastened face
in the choir, and he listened to hear her
voice in the solos, all tremulous with sup
pressed emotion, that he felt he should re-
ceive the welcome most sought.
Poor Rose. how her heart was swollen
with joy, and was wrung with agony, as sho
looked into his kind, noble face. She
seemed as in a trance as she listened to his
life-giving words. she wondered if he
missed her flowers, or would dream they
were by the bedsides of the sick, carrying
out his suggestions of a year ago. 1t was
bliss, and it was torture to be there; and she
was only too thankful when the benediction
was pronounced that she could hide herself

That afternoon Rose sat on the couch in
the sitting-room just where Mr. Clifford had
left her little less than year ago. She

From the warm, throbbing heart of the soil.
