came sudden pause. He scratched his
head, caressed his ear, toyed with the
pen, and it was good half-hour before
he got a name for his poem.

dozen different times.

For the next six evenings Mr.. Bowser
was closeted with himself and that
poem. Then, as knew by his general
demeanor, his work was finished.

and found it in the desk, all ready for

Six Valuable Presents.

She gave an hour of patient care to
her little baby sister, who was cutting
her teeth.
She gave string and crooked pin
and great deal of good advice to the
three-year-old brother who wanted to
play at fishing.
She gave Ellen, the maid, a precious
hour to go and visit her sick baby al
home; for Ellen was widow, and left
the child with its grandmother while
she worked to get bread for both. She
could not have seen them vciy often il
our Mary had not offered to attend the
door while she was away.
But this is not all that Mary gave.
She dressed herself so neatly, and
looked so bright and kind and obliging
that she gave her mother thrill
of pleasure whenever she caught sight
OF the young, pleasant face.
She wrote letter to her father, who
was absent on business, and gave
patient attention to long story by her
grandmother, and when it was ended
made the old lady happy by good
night kiss.
Thus she had given valuable presents
to six people in one day. and yet she had
not a cent.-The Little Ones.

Good-Friday.

To-day is what is known as Good Fri
day-obseryed by the Churches as day
of mourning and of prayer in commemo-
ration of the crucifixion of our Saviour.
With the Passion of her Lord in view, it
has always been the object of the Church
to make the devotion of Good Friday
such as should help Christians to realize
the magnitude of the sacrifice that He Of
fered-of the sins by which it was made
necessary, and of the mercy which NOV
ed Him to offer it 1t is observed as a
day of solemn worship in many Church
es, but the services in the Roman Catho-
lie Church are attended with special
pomp. In the olden time the Germans
called the day ''Stiller Freltag," on &C
count of the silence Of the mills on that
day, and sometimes they called it "Char
Freitag." meaning thereby the penitence
signified. In this State, where there is
population of over one million, not more
than third part of the people are pro-
fessedly Christians, yet so great is the
influence of Christianity that a law has
been enacted on the atute books max
ing Good Friday a legal holiday.

Easter, which occurs next Sunday, is
one of the three great festivals of the
Christian year, the other two being Whit
Sunday and Christmas Wherever the
banner of the cross has been unfurled,
Easter is celebrated by believers with the
greatest joy. The entire Christian world
rejoices together in the mysterious fact
that the Saviour, who truly died, rose
from the dead, thereby giving mankind
the assurance that they too SHALL in due
time, rise from the grave. The churches
are decorated with flowers, the solemn
and sad music of Lent gives place to
hymns of gladness and rejoicing and the
entire services are of bright and joyous
character.
