She could not speak; but taking her
hand from the top of the railing in
front of her, she laid it in that of her
husband. This was her only answer;
but John knew its meaning and he
pressed it passionately, tenderly.
The service being finished, they left
the church together. At the door Mar
garet was met by tall, 6ne-looking
young man. What! No. Why, yes it
tsp he exclaimed to himself, as he saw
them coming. IF it isn't Dot Hallow-
well and her father-and with mamma,
too! What can it all mean?" John
shook his hand silently, heartily, as
they met. This was no place for ex-
plantations, so they fastened to leave
the throng.
There was room for but two in Mar
garet's carriage, so Will Lyford (for
the young man was none other than
hey, gracefully resigned in Hallowell's
favor. AS for Dorothy and himself,
they much preferred to walk; and so,
when the carriage had passed out of
sight, they turned their steps toward
Glenmere.
Mutual explanations and mutual for
giveness were the happy results of the
homeward ride of Margaret and her
husband. It was all arranged before
they parted that she should assume her
former position as mistress at Glen
mere. But she had so many business
affairs to arrange, and so much to do be-
fore closing up the house, that Saturday
night arrived before Margaret, with
her father and Will Lyford, came to
live again at her former home; though
it may be said, by the way, that since
the previous Sunday Will had spent
the most of his time there. His many
years of separation from Dorothy had
made him realize that he was far, very
far from being her brother, and now
that they were brought together again,
he found that his affection for her had
taken a new and deeper turn.
The next day was Easter Sunday.
Dinner having been finished, Hallowell
| and his wife strolled out together, and
their steps led toward the front of the
house. Margaret stopped abruptly as
her eyes fell upon the fallen trees. At
first it puzzled her, but suddenly she
remembered and Il panied expression

Hallowell returned to Glenmere. He
went directly to his wife's room, but
she was not there. Upstairs and down
he went, but no one could be found.
What did it all mean? He rang for
the servant, and when she appeared
he asked her, excitedly: ''Where is my
wife,"
II don't know, sir, Michael drove out
with her near three hours ago." she re-
piled.
"Send Michael to me-
When the old coachman came, the
distracted husband repeated his ques-
ton: "Where is my wife?"
''At Mr.. Lyford's, sir:''
Hallowel was losing his self-control.
"Why did you take her out on a night
like this, you idiot?"
''She told me to. SIR
''What of it? Haven't you got any
sense? What else did she tell your
THAT / must get back before you,
sir"
John started as if struck "She, told
you that? Well, you may go now"
A note was lying on the table. Was
it from her? He took it up and read:
my DEAR MRS. HALLowELL: Forgive me-
but must warn you. Ask your husband why
he stays at his Office every night. He will not
tell you. So you must watch and find out for
yourself A FRIEND
With groan he sank into his chair.
It was all clear now. His wife thought
him faithless and had left him. Well,
let it be so. He would not follow her.
All night he sat there in this stupor,
and when morning came he looked as
if twenty years had been added to his
life. His former jo.lity had gone, and
in its place had come a wretched NOR
bidnesa Looking out on the lawn, he
saw the tree which had been blown
over by the wind. A bitter laugh es-
capped his lips. "Strangev' he said,
"but it will make me remember" So
he caused fence to be built around
the two trees, one standing, the other
fallen. "And thus they are to remain"
he said, ''as long as-but perhaps she
will always stay away"
A month passed, and still his wife
did not return. The suspense was be-
coming unbearable. aud John coul not

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 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-
vered 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

1t just 1t this moment we could have

was none the greater.

We all know how we have advanced material

Inc passing cloud,
The feeling Of Q sorrow gone,
A presence pure and gentle-browed.
There comes the bloom of morning rays,
There passes all Of gloom and sin,
And down the dew-bejeweled ways
The god Of summer enters in.
The past is but shriveled leaf,
written scroll to fade away,
With all it held Of Joy or grief
Merged In the glory Of to-day.
Sweet hope goes down into the tomb
And takes from death a grander life,
Joy rings across the voice Of doom,
And peace is gained by every strife.
The egg expands its pulsing wings,
The twig awakens into flowers,
And from the soul Of man there springs
The perfect age of fullest powers.
Over and over all is told,
The stars their orbits still repeat,
Season to season buds unfold,
And worlds and atoms meet and meet
There Is no loss, there is no gain;
There Is no waste Of time or force;
And every act and thought and pain
Are meeting points in natures course.
And death is not! the very rocks
Await the resurrection morn;
And fire or storm or change unlocks
The old, and thus the new is born,
M
So may we live in perfect trust,
And In the tempest stand serene,
For God will re-create the dust
Though countless ages intervene
The wrong shall vanish in the right,
The evil melt into the good;
For as the day includes the night,
The false is true when understood
Thus all is rounded in q song
The song Of hope, the song OF youth,
The music OF a mighty throng
On the eternal hills OF Truth
o Spirit Of the Easter time,
To all the sweet assurance give,
And swell the sound in voice and chime:
Though We be Dead, yet shall We Live"

Resurrection.
Through the length Of the year the grave mus:

IT'S the Easter earth that can only give:
Then bury the meaner self, and wake
To the life that the nobler self may live.
Before the dawn of the Easter sun
Hide deep in the mold the dearest sin,
The unnoted lie or the wrong begun;
Let the shadeless right once more begin.
Bury the pride that has sprung from naught,
The envy and hate Of blackened hour;
Arise to the Christ.life purely fraught
With love as white as the Easter flower.

made matter Of superstition, Of incarnation,
the same rs it Is by the medicine men Of the In
dams to-day. Gradually emerging from such
blindness, it was still matter Of bigotry,
Of folly. What people must have suffered
in those days can scarcely be imagined.
They were bled, they were cupped, they were
leeched, they were subjected to every device
whereby their vitality could be reduced and
their lives endangered. It is almost . wonder
that the race survived.

Easter eggs of modern times was one
presented to an infanta of Spain, a few
years ago. The gospel for Easter day
was inscribed on the inside of the
shell, which was of the finest white
enamel. 1t enshrined lovely miria-

ing a secret spring, flew out and
warbled exquisitely twelve beautiful

FAITHS INFLUENCE ON LIFE.

How Casters Revelation Has Trans-
formed the World.
l have tried to imagine what this
world would be if no one. believed in a
future existence. The strongest mo-
tives to morality would be gone, pro-
SESSIONS would go to the cemeteries
with no song sung and no eye of hope
uplifted, the dark shadow would move
down on all, and we should shrink and
submit like towards, and go away into
starless night. A world with no
hope of mmortality-what would it
be like? Like earth with no sun in the
armament and no light on the noun
tains.
This day stands for hope, JOY and in
finite promise. Wherever it is OBJ
served the message goes out: death
is balanced by life" Things seem to
tend to decay, yet out of all decadence
rise finer and more fruitful FORMS
Around the world on this day are
mingled the chimes of church bells,
their music keyed to a note of hope.
In its influence on this life faith in a
future life shows that the characters
we form here will follow us there for
joy or woe; it shows that the things
which here are uni lust and incomplete
may sometime be righted: it shows
thai no effort toward improvement can
be lost, for the spirit is as deathless as
God; it makes death minister of Joy,
for that which leads into fairer realms
and links congenial spirits in endless
fellowship cannot be dreaded.
Jesus Christ stands for life IN world
of death, and on this day we gather to
give expression to our faith in the
resurrection and the life: From Easter
day faith sees life stretching out
through eternity; sees fields of minis
