Easter Morning.

written by a little girl clever years old
The sun has come with warmth and light,
From his star-hOme in the skies,
The fairies have dressed the flowers bright
And the sun has wiped their eyes.
All Of them look fresh and fair;
In their hearts there is no care
All Of them look fresh and fair,
Don't you see that all are smiling now?
not quite: If you look in the corner
You'll see a neglected one knitting her
brow.
Because there is none to adorn her.
There's the geranium in crimson dress,
And look at the Lily Bell sitting at rest;
But the rosebush is bare, with a thorn in
her breast.
But see, there's the Easter Lily coming
along.
Every one rushes and makes a great
thrOng
To see the Lily. fair and strong.
And greet her on this Easter morn.
Now the greetings are over and the flow
ers are gone,
I would like to say something OF Easter
morn:
II was long. long ago that our Savior
And loved lis and entered the grave dark
and drear;
And now we keep Easter because It Is
said
That on that very morning Christ arose
from the dead.
So. when this bright day comes around
with each year,
We think Of our SaviA and hold his name
dear.

ONLY a Spool of Thread.

ITO make a spool Of thread" SAYS a
manufacturer, rs a complicated process.
Only the very best Sea Island cotton
can be used for tins purpose. The cotton
Is taken In a raw state and torn all TO
pieces by a machine called n Breaker
1T then goes through several other
machines. by which IL is carefully combed
and freed from impurities. 4 machine
called a 'slubber' then takes il up and
twists II out into soft white yarn.
This Is carefully combed again, and
n Is then taken into another department.
where several small strands Of this yarn
are twisted together. and you then have
six-cord thread, which. after IT is bleach
ed, is ready for the market.
Another interesting thing is the num-
hering Of the thread. Every lady knows
the size Of the thread that she requires
for doing a certain piece Of work. but
very few OF them know how it came TO
be so numbered.
You see. when cotton thread was first
mode $40 yards OF it weighed just one
pound. This was called No. /, and II a
pound contained just twice this number
Of yards il was called No. 2, and so on"

VEIL DONE.
A Little Story of tho Young Prince
George.

One Of the closest friends Of the Duke
Of YOrk-now heir to the English crown
told this anecdote of him the other day:
While Prince George was serving on the
West Indian squadron he was put I'm
command of the steamship Thrush. The
following day a sailor In irons was
brought on board the vessel TO be trans
ported 10 another part of the station.
The prisoner was but a lad of the same
age as the young commander, and there
was something In his face and bearing,
reckless though he was, which showed
that he was not wholly bad.
Prince George watched him keenly dur
Ing the short voyage. and after he had
delivered him up for punishment made a
note Of the time when his Imprisonment
would be over. When the day came he
applied to the ADMIRAL TO have the man
transferred to the Thrush.
The admiral demonstrated, urging that
II was not the IBisoner's first ~offense:
that he had been drunken and disorderly
for two years.
Let me try what | can do said the
Prince.
The admiral reluctantly consented. and
when the prisoner came on board the
Thrush he was brought before the young
captain.

Lost hope. lost health, lost all.

Planned fun for All Fools day:
The poor-house folks should have a feast
OF pebbles. sand and clay.
All neatly tied in packages.
A sweet girl sat apart.
And while they talked a generous thought
Came pleading to her heart.

And what a dreary life.

The home was ready when rude March
Went clustering out Of sight.
And little Clara Warrington

And ever after was the pet
