An Ohiect of EnvY.

Editors may find some consolation in
the fact that they have inspired feelings
of envy in the breasts of a young jap
anese boy. A recent issue of an East
Indian paper contained the following
note: ga schoolboy in Loerabaya was
asked to describe an editor of a paper.
He did so in this way: An editor is the
1ucl1iest man in the world. He can go
to circus every afternoon and every
evening without paying a cent. He
can go also to the courthOuses, the
places of execution and the races. He
has free tickets to all theaters, receives
presents at his Office, and gets his ears
boxed too. He goes also to Prigen,
Malang or Lawang (places of amuse-
ment). He does not do this often, how
ever. In one paper he can deny every
thing that was said in the previous one,
and he does so, as rule. When other
people are already in bed the editor is
still up. He stays up late to see what
happens. When grow big shall be-
come an editor. Then can stay up, too. +"

EASTER THOUGHTS.

10 1t strange that the flower world awaking
On Casters fair, sweet morn
Should shake its dewy petals
In new life freshly born?
With dutter of tiny blossoms
And odOrOus waiting of breath.
They boar me thoughts of life
That climaxed its glory in death.
On the altar the tall lilies stood
Pale and pure in their garments OF white,
Below them the roses soft blushing
In the flush of the mornings new light:
listened and 10! in whisper
A soft - the south winds sweet breath
heard all the flowers repeating
The tale OF the dear Savior's death.
They told ofth nail prints and thirsting,
They told of His sorrow and pain;
Their voices grew lower and fainter
As they finished this terrible strain;
Then burst forth the loud hallelujahs,
The morning Sun showcring its gold
On the radiant scene at the altar
A. Casters glad tale was retold.
Dear Easter. the glad resurrection
OF hope aud OF love aud of life.
The peace ana the glory of sunset
That closes the long day Of strife:
Glad hearts and the flowers and voices
All join in outpourings Of praise,
While the notes OF an echoiug chorus
From Earth unto Heaven they raise.

It was reported that some serious snow.
