THE FLEETING SHOW.

prenenoed Tn the one potent word hesur-
 rection, for the inspiration of happy be- ievers, and the consolation of those who are sad-hearted and weary.
 How overwhelming was the joy of the
 disciples when they looked upon the face
 of the risen Christ, how complete the re- newal of their hopes and faith, their cour- age and devotionl The disciple of to-day is but faintly touched with the happiness of that Eastertide; it's light to him is but the far-away shining of splendid star; yet he keeps the holy festival with glad and grateful heart, believing that as "Je- sus died and rose again, even SO them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."
 The literature of Easter is wonderfully rich and yearly gains noteworthy sddi- tions; Ca river of song flowing down the centuries" Translations from the early Greek and Latin hymns, and from later German songs enrich our hymnody, and thousands of voices will sing on Easter Sunday "The Salutation of the Greek Church on Easter Day." or the beautiful
 .'Plaudit Coeli,' or the 'sWelcome, Happy Morningsi" said to have been triumphantly sung at the stake by Jereme of Prague. One of the grandest of the old hymns was written by John of Damascus, in the eighth century. It is chanted yearly in the Greek Church after the midnight gun has an nounced to the watchers that the Easter morn is dawning:
 .aThe day of resurrectionl
 Earth tell it out abroadl
 The passion of gladness
 The passover of God!'
 and all over the world, wherever Chris tians meet to keep holy day, their voices take up this jubilsnt strain till the earth seems bound about with chain of melody. Thus the spirit of Easter to-day is linked by the songs of Luther and Wes- ley, of Matthew Bridges and Frances Rid ley Havergal, to the spirit of those early days of the church, as expressed in the ancient chants and hymns, with always the same glad meaning:
 "Jesus lives! henceforth is death Entrance-gate of life immortall'' EASTER.
 Iwonder if in heaven on Easter day
 The angels add new sweetn:ss to their songs

 T Te lad Hin to whom WI & the % perfect grace belongs And opening out of sin life's holy way. wonder-nay, I will not wonder SO;
 It may be on this day the angels come, With footsteps falling lighter than the snow, We may behold the Saviour standing there. ERNEST w. SHURTLEFF. IN RECOGNITION OF A TEACHERS SERVICE. The government of Denmark has, for the second time in it's history, bestowed the gold medal of merit upon a woman. Miss Natalie Fahler, the woman so honored.
 has won this distinction of her long and devoted service as 8 teacher. In 1851 she founded school in Copenhagen both for little girls and young women, the higher schools being as rule reserved "for gen.
 tlemen only" and girls generally having | no higher education than that provided by l the common schools.
 In 1860, when women were admitted to the public schools, she added training school to her institution and from this in due time sent out large number of
 admirably prepared teachers. Fifteen years later the University of Copenhagen
 was opened to women; that is, they were
 given the right to pass all the examina-
 tions, or, without examinations, to attend
 all lectures; they are not, however, enti-
 tied to obtain employment in, nor to enjoy
 the stipends or legacies possessed by, the
 always keeping abreast of the tide
 of progress, organized preparatory
 classes where pupils might be fitted to en
 ter the university. Her school, or rather
 collection of schools, enjoys an excellent
 reputation both at home and abroad, ant
 it was upon the fortieth anniversary of it
 establishment that it's founder was pre-
 sented with the medal of merit. The off
 cers of the schools, which are admirabl. governed, are women, as are most of th
 teachers.
 The range of occupations for women i,
