EGGS FOR EASTER.

The Practice OF Eating Them Has Yer
Ancient Origin.
The use of eggs for Easter can he
traced, says Count De Gebelin in his
Religious History of the Calendar" to
the theology and philosophy Of the
Egyptians, Persians Gauls, Greeks and
Romans, among all of whom an egg
was symbol of the universe, the work
of the Supreme Divinity. The Persians
gave presents of eggs at the feast of
the New YEAR. e., the feast of the
verral equinox-in honor of the renew
al of all things. THE Egyptians held
the egg as a sacred emblem of the
renovation of mankind after the
deluge. The Jews adopted it to suit
the circumstances of their history, as
type of their departure from Egypt,
and it was used In the feast of the
Passover as part of the furniture of
the table with the Paschal lamb" The
early Druids used the egg in their cere-
monies.
In Russia one man greets another On
Easter with "Jesus Christ is risen"
eyes, He is risen," reply is made, and
then an egg is given. In Moscow no
meeting takes place without this salu-
tation and exchange. s'The meanest
pauper in the street presenting an egg
and repeating the words 'Cristos Vos-
crees' may demand a salute even of
the empress III some countries of
Italy eggs are carried to the church to
be blessed, and then taken home and
set out with flowers on the table.
Every visitor during Easter week is in
vited to eat an Easter egg, an invita-
ton which must not be refused. Eggs
in all countries are sent as tokens at
this time, and enter into the senti-
ments and pastimes of old and young
alike. Chicago Herald.

There was hurried consultations
and to the great relief of the house
hold the soldiers rode away as fast as
their horses could bear them. It was
growing light, and they evidently be-
lieved the story old Amy SO cieverly
told them.
Molly had been peeping at them
through the Stats of the venetian
blinds in the front parlor, and she saw
that the officer in command was a
slender figure of why build, and his
voice had military ring to it that
would have warned anyone that he
could not be trifled with.
You must go, Allan" she said, as
they rode off. 81 will myself put the
side-saddle on old Gray; it is well you
prank; it will serve you now at your
need, and if they come back you must
be singing the Easter carols, and / will

Be ready now. Have you the prunella

said Allan, as he thrust out a good
sized boot of the kind that elderly
women of the day wore, ''but a boot
with spur would be worse, opine,'
and he sat down and waited resigned
ly, while his brave sister went out to
saddle the old horse and bring him to
the block.
A worn black cloth riding habit that
fitted his slender boyish figure nicely,
and cap to cover his curly hair, and a
large green veil tied about to keep it
on, gave Allan all the appearance of a
respectable prim young woman riding

And at that moment back came the

They dashed up and surrounded the

inquired severely, but respectfully,
and DOTTED his cap to the handsome

l must see if Amy has supper ready.
We have an unexpected guest tonight,
mother have we not?"
When the table was laid and supper
served, Molly ushered a young lady
into the room, who was a stranger to
both Mrs. Mayo and old Amy, who was
placing some delicious hot mullins on
the table made of the best 'boughten'
-four especially for "Marse Allan"
"Miss Fletcher, mother" said Molly,
and Mrs. Mayo bowed politely, and
then said with an anxious look at her
daughter:
81 did not know that you expected
company.
II think you have seen Miss Fetch
err before. Do you not remember her,
Aunt Amy?"
The old colored woman set her tur-
ban straight, bobbed Il curtsy, and
after long close scrutiny OF the young
lady's features, said:
mo, missy, I Der see her afore IN
my Dawn days, but low she do favor
yuseH small lilli bit"
"It's all right. Oh thank God they
did not know you!" exclaimed Molly.
Mother, Aunt Amy, it's Allan Fletch-
err Mayo, our own boy"
II never would have suspe cted it, "
said Mrs. Mayo, with puzzled air.
"De Lawd's sake!" was all the COM
ment old Amy made, as she disappeared
to the kitchen, shaking with appre-
hension.
II think" said Allan, as he sat down
to ia BILE, ''that these feminine frills and
Fuckers are worse to contend with than
the enemy. How is my voice, mother?
A pretty good falseuto, isn't it? Molly,
girl, l misdoubt me much whether you
are not getting me out of one scrape
into another. Hero will betray me if
nothing else"
II have thought of that Allan, you
remember the Coreys, whom father
helped when they were in sore distress?

place and ask them to keep him for us

The very thing. That is a wise old
head on your young shoulders, sister
Coreys after him? 1t is four-mile
ride from here"
"You must take old Gray. He can
do four miles fairly well. But it would
not do for the Britishers to find your
horse here, and they may come at any
moment, you say"
Then they ate supper with heavy
hearts, yet, for the mothers sake, try
ing to appear cheerful, and even merry.
Allan often forgot his assumed charac-
ter, and whistled, or strobe to the win
dow, making his pretty and affection

hymns" she said, and by the aid of the

then the air alone; then Allan
practiced sharp treble, and pleased
Molly nightly for some reason.
Allan was in her hands, and trusted
his sister as he had always done-there
was only difference Of a few years in
their ages. But he did object when
she attempted to do his hair up in curl
papers. A few words in his ear, and
he unwillingly consented, and soon his
blonde head was covered with round
knots of tightly twisted paper.

Touched by the glory of Heaven,

And sing to US echoing carols,
Sing till our hearts shall grow strong,
Till their happy pulsations shall measure
The time Of thy rapturous song.
Till Faith, resurrected, shall greet us
With smiles on her radiant face;
While Love reaches out of the darkness
To hold US in clinging embrace;
Till Hope, happy Hope, shall awaken,
From tho languor OF purposeless Dreams
And move US to earnest endeavor
BY whispers on glorious themes
O beauteous spirit, to .ch gently
Our souls with thy quickcning breath,
Till out into life and its duties
They leap from this torpor CT death;
Abide till our hearts shall discover
The blessings that circle us now,
And our thoughts grow as pure as the lilies
That droop DER thy radiant brow!
