THE EASTER MESSAGE.

Once more the promise of the spring.
The Quickening and awakening
OF sap and shoot.
And tender root.
Once more the miracle of birth
Along the length and breadth of earth;
Once more the breath
OF life for DEATH
Released again from winters doom
OF frozen days. from Lenten gloom,
We seem to stand
In some new land,
And fresh the breeze that blows abroad
That brings the message Of our Lord,
The Heavenly breath
OF life for death.
Oh! spirit folded in thy sleep,
Oh! soul long buried fathoms deep
Beneath the old
Material mold,
Fling on tho load that, year by year,
Has vailed thy sight and dulled thine ear;
And rs the lark
Doth. soaring bark
To Heavenly sounds, 80 hearken thou
To that low voice that calleth now
Across the dark,
Oh! wake and bark
The night goes fast! Oh, wake and pray,
For tits the dawn Of Easter Day,
When Heaven doth lift
Above the drift
OF self and sense; when budding earth
Renews the parable of birth;
When Christ doth wake
With us to break
The bond Of sense, which is our pail,
Doth wake and wait while He doth call:
Oh, here and now
Awaken thour'

was bent on some evil mission. He
slipped around the corner, whispered a
few mysterious words into the ears of a
youngster standing there, transferred
the box he was carrying to his willing
hands, took silver piece from his
pocket, gave it to the boy and was
gone
Next morning Jack mast go to church.
Charley aoon't hear to any thing else.
The church was decorated mech as il
was last Easter, the congregation was
much the same, as was also the service.
They are seated in one of the back pews
and are CHANGING around when-what
is the matter with Jack? His actions
are quite alarming, but don't be appre-
hensive, dear reader, for what he sees is
only very pretty young lady with a
happy smile on her face and lovely
bunch of roses nodding at her cOrsage.
Just such as he had sent her the year
before. Has the past year been all a
terrible dream and is this. that first
Easter, the day on which he had ex-
pected to be SO happy, or is. the present
scene an optical delusion, the vision of
disordered brain? While AL this and
much more was passing through Jacks
brain Charley sat composedly back in
his seat apparently much engrossed
with the speakers remarks, and when
the congregation was finally dismissed
he detained his friend in the vestibule
of the church on one pretext or another
until Lydia approached. To Jacks ut
ter amazement she stepped forward. ex-
tended her neatly-gloved hand frankly,
invited him to call, gave him her
sweetest smile and was gone before he
could utter a word or make move.
s'What does it mean, Charley; what
shall do? Am I awake or is this all a
dream?''
"Never more wide awake in your life,
my dear boy" chuckled Charley, ''and as
to what you're to do, can only give
this advice: Accept this gracious invita-
ton without delay. And until I see
you again, goodbye"
We will not follow Jack as, with
light, quick steps that he has been q
stranger to this long while, he goes to
the home of his loved one. We will
leave him in peace with her and will
not listen to the explanations and tender
| words that are spoken during this, the
happiest moment of their lives.
When next Jack sees Charley he has
to seek him at his own domicile, and he
goes at him with good-natured rush.

grown aothing of value. Thinking he

to. eznDty around il a haorei of spoiled,

now that you may understand and not
insist that I go with you into society"
He told the entire story faithfully
and wound up with: ssIt was terrible
blow to me to be treated thus by the
girl loved so dearly. To be sure l
never intimated by word of mouth that
cared for her, but how could speak
when loved her so intensely and knew
not that my love was in the least re-
ciprocated."
s'But is it not possible that you might
be mistaken? Perhaps the flowers
never reached her," said his sympa-
thetic friend, in . vain endeavor to
comfort him.
"Ah! but I made sure of that by going
to the florists afterward. How can !
enter into the pleasures of the season
when my heart is SO heavy and sad9
Pm obliged to you for your kindness
and sympathy, old fellow, but really

Thus ended the matter for the pres.
emit, and Charley went home for the
night.
He was not 50 certain Of Lydia's dis

the sad, listless expression that ap-

her endeavor to hide it? Was he not
more capable of rendering fair judg-
ment than his Iove-sick friend? Didn't
he know q thing or two about
such affairs, even if he had never
been really in love himself? Yes,
Charley thought so, and lay
awake long after midnight thinking
and planning. Suddenly he sat up in
bed with jerk and his fist few out and
came down with a crack on his shin

peacefully to sleep.
The next few days he carried about
with him certain air of mystery, and
when he met his friend Jack curious
smile illumined his features But Jack,
poor, dear, blind fellow! was oblivious
to every thing excepting his own great
grief, and suspected nothing.
1t was Saturday afternoon, the day
before Easter. and we find Charley
making his way rapidly across the
street to the florists. evidently trying
to avoid detection.
