Maggie had let the baby-sister fall ana
she had never taken a step since.
Maggie was grown up now and was
stitching busily upon the machine, for
she did tailoring, and. though the suns
rays beat down upon the tin roof over
head and the air was close and sultry,
yet it would not do to stop work, for
she must earn enough to buy food for
herself and Glory ami to pay the rent
of the tiny room where they lived.
The mother had toiled for her chill
dren as long as she was able, but al
last she had fallen sick, and it was only
n week ago that some men had come
with the rough box which was to serve
as her coffin and had carried her away.
Day after day Glory lay on her little
bed and grieved and refused to be COM
forted. Miss Gay, a young lady who
visited the sick people in the neighbor-
hood. bringing them jellies and all
kinds of nourishing food, often came
to see Glory, and many were the or
nnges and gay picture-books which she
brought TO brighten the child's weary
life. Glory liked nothing so W ell as a
visit from Miss Gay. She loved to
touch the pretty soft dress and to
breathe in whiffs of the delicate per-
fume with which the lady's handker-
chief was scented.
After Glory's mother died Miss Gay
often talked to the child and tried to
comfort her by telling her of the happy
place to which her mother had gone
and how she was no longer tired, nor
hungry, nor sick. But glory could not
believe this. She knew that her mother
had been carried away and buried, and
she was sure she would never see her
again.
They took her off and put her in
the ground and heaped it all on top of
her and | know she is not happy" said
Miss Gay then told her about that
first Easter Sunday so long ago and of

As Maggie sat stitching on the ma

THE SPRING GIRL.

The winter girl is going and the summer girl
is coming:
The buds are on the trees, and the birds begin
TO sing.
And were nearing fast the time when Wen hear
the bees a-hUmmiDS,
For already earth ~reioices with the promise Of
the spring.
The winter girl and sumner girl have charms,
there's no denying
The one in furs rejoicing. the other in pique;
But for the maiden Of the spring no lover is
there signing
No vernal poet yet 10 her has sung a tuneful
lay.
And yet We know she's fairer, sweeter than the
two together,
In her handsome new spring bonnet and her
raiment fine and gay;
She's like the lily and the rose in ono when
fines the weather,
And she walks TO church with modest air on
Joyous Easter day.
Talk not about your winter or your summer
girls, l pray you,
The furs and sealskins OF the one, the others
furbelows;
But go TO church with me on Easter Sunday
twill repay you
And see the spring girl blooming in her bon
net and new clothes.

The moment the child walked the next
morning she looked eagerly tow ard the
window. but the earth in the pot
looked just as it had the night before,
and as day after day went by and as
Glory could see no change She began
to lose hope. But one sunny morning
as she glanced towards the flower pot
she gave Il little cry of delight, for
there was a curious green thing push
ing up through the earth. 1t felt hard
and smooth when she touched it with
her fingers, and she wondered how it
came there. The next morning it was
longer and greener. and the next day.
to the little watchers great delight, it
began to unfold some beautiful green
leaves.
Those of you who have always seen
plants growing all about you cannot
imagine what a marvellous thing this
lily was to Glory as it shot up its long
stem and added leaf after leaf, until it
grew so tall that the nurse had to set
1t upon the floor. The child talked
to it and loved it as other children love
and play with their kittens and dolls,
and it helped her through many weary
hours when her poor little body was
full of aches and pains
When the warm. bright days of
March came the lily seemed to rejoice
in the sunshine which came streaming
in at the window, and one day it I'M

for you. The doctor is going to let you

Then how Glory's brown eyes
sparkled and how long it seemed to
wait for the next day. In the morning,
she lay half asleep, listening to the
Easter chimes, she became conscious
that the ar was filed with 4 delicious
perfume. Could Miss Gay have come

There has been an absolute revolution In the
practice Of medicine and in the treatment of
human ills. Instead OF undermining the vital
forces by cupping and bleeding, the vitality is
now sustained in every possible manner. In
stead OF tearing down we seek to build up. In
stead OF increasing misery We seek to create
happiness
But the greatest advancement in medical
science has been made by discovery. Harvey
could afford TO endure the ridicule OF the world
for revealing to it the grand discovery Of the
circulation OF the blood. Jenner might be ostra-
cized, but millions have benefited by his dis
covery OF vaccination. Pasteur lived in a more
enlightened age and escaped ridicule, while the
world received the benefit which his discoveries
have brought Koch, although forced to reveal
his discovery before its perfection, will be re-
yered by future generations.
The discoveries of these great men have been
OF untold benefit to the world, and yet they
were not in the line Of the worlds greatest
