when her strong, fearless eyes beheld
therein the fower-strewn coffin of her
boy. All through the winter, each
successive Sunday found her going any
where and everywhere else; but on
Good Friday some impulse which she
could neither control nor explain con-
uuered her former reluctance, and, to
the surprise of the many who knew
her, the shrinking figure in its heavy
black draperies dropped once more into
the seat which memory made at once so
dear and dreadful
For several minutes she refrained
from looking toward the choir, then
nerving herself as for some terrible
ordeal, she looked suddenly and direct
ly at the place which was to know her
brave, sunshiny little son no more, and
looking, she met the direct, sympathetic
gaze of eyes so like his that a strange,
sweet comfort stole into her bereaved
heart.
A smaller natured woman might
have resented poor little Anthony al
together; but in the gamut of Mrs. Scott
Payne's being there were few, if any,
insignificant notes, and certainly not
one of that problematical few happened
to be struck on this solemn fast day
which was to mark a new era in her
life. Perhaps, indeed, leaving Antho-
ny out of the question altogether. there
is no service which does so wholly
subdue egutism and littleness as that

IN THE BREAKING OF THE DAY.
In the gray Of Easter even,
When the light begins to fade,
TN1Ny fxuO onualu out ~ haauan

In the gray Of Easter even,
When the light begins to fade,
Fly two angels out OF heaven,
Yelled in vesper shade.
And they watch by those that sleep,
AS they watched Immanuers rest,
And they comfort all who weep,
AS they soothed sad Mary's breast.
Soft they whisper through the night:
"Wait until the morning light!
From your sorrow look away
To the breaking OF the day."Q
In the Easter dawn victorious,
When the stars in rose.light fade,
Rise those angels, plumed and glorious,
Like the sun arrayed.
And they gather up the flowers
From the purple plains OF morning,
Far and wide in bloomy showers,
Graves Of midnight woe adorning-
Saying, singing; Christ is risenl
Watch no more the open prison;
He he's led your loved away
In the breaking Of the daym

The Trials and Tribulations of Evading
Uncle Sans Officers.
1 heard little story the other day
which was said to illustrate difference
between men and women: of that be
you the judges. There was delivered
over to the tender mercies of fine,
brown-eyed customs inspectress wom-
an suspected of smuggling, on whose
person, indeed, examination brought to
light silk enough for dress or two, and
no one will ever know why she
thought it necessary to conceal these
$500 in gold pieces The cu!prit was
overwhelmed with modification.
"You won't expose me-" she begged,
you won't give my name?"
The inspectress folded up the silk and
said nothing.
''For the love of heaven, you won't
let it go into the papers?"
The inspectress did not answer.
81 beseech you, implore you," here
she cast herself upon the neck Of the
inspectress, "be merciful Twill give
you anything you ask, I'll give you all
1 have on earth; I'll give you dollar!"
And where does the man come in? o,
nowhere; except that in the opinion of
the inspectress a man affected to such
anguish would have offered the $780,
1t is a more difficult matter for a
woman to conceal anything about her
than it was in the days of the late la
mented bustle-here one is tempted to
allude to the hoop skirt rumor-and this
has lightened greatly the labors of the
inspectresses, who are now only search
crs of the person; yet as they stand at
the gang plank watching passengers
come ashore there chances now and
then to one of them something of interest.
Have you smuggled anything?"
asked bright-eyed, excitable little
creature bundled up in furs, of the
woman who stood next her on the dock
the other morning.
"No."
"Well, have and wish I were out
Of here"
A little pause and then, "What is it?"

Extravagant Economy.

The captain of fine clipper ship,
rather than pay the price of having a
tug tow her into port, attempted to sail
her in during a furious gale. The re-
ault OF this economy was the loss of an
$SO,OOO craft, 100000 cargo, and the
lives of the captain and seventeen Of the
crew, which considerably more than
offsets the saving Of the price of tug.
Another sad feature arising from this
economical spirit of the thrifty captain
was, the death of the captain of the life
boat which went to the clippers assist
ance when she was driven on the rocks.
Altogether it was extrayagant economy.
