libraries, musfc-rooms, servants and equipages, what woman would not envy me. and yet the Dead sea fruit turned to ashes at my touch. Up in the nursery were my two beautiful children with thei. governess and nurse, toys and books enough for fifty children; but they scarcely knew their mother. To be sure when I stopped in the nursery for moment they held up their rosy lips for my kiss, smoothed the glimmering folds of my gown with their little hands, and called me their ''booful mammal" but their little sor- rows and griefs, pains and aches they never thought of bringing to me; it was nurse who comforted them mamma had no time for that
 And my usband-people said it had been love match: to be sure we were both rich, but any woman could afford to love Robert Morton for himself alone. Handsome, aristocratic, wealthy, a cul- tivated gentleman in every sense of the word; and yet we had drifted apart; and now we seldom saw each other ex- cept when we entertained at home. Business on Wall street and his club held him fast, and I-did slave ever serve master more faithfully than served society," I had noticed of late that Robert looked a little worn and tired, but he was always well.
 Never mind, through Lent l would try to get acquainted with my chil- dren and win Robert back to my side: and with a sigh left the conservatory, where the Easter lilies, just budding, had started this train of thought, and went slowly up the broad stairs to my boudoir. My maid was waiting to dress me for the Van Tassel ball.
 As stood before the pier glass, that stretched from floor to ceiling. I looked with curiosity at the figure before me. The green aud pink brocade of my court train lay in shimmering folds far behind ne; priceless Duchesse lace draped the front of the gown, and was caught here and there by diamond star. The shoulders and arms were quite bare but for the diamond neck lace that clasped the rounded throat. The proudly poised head. with dark, satiny braids, and the face, with it's soft black eyes, were very beautiful, they told me; but l saw the discontented droop of the scarlet lips, and the reckless, disappointed glance from the eyes; and wished. as l stood there, that I might change places with any woman who had lived good, true and useful life. was SO tired of this endless round of pleasure for pleasures sake; but who would have believed me if I had told them?

self-denial? To me, yea; to most of the women of the society in which moved it would mean a few weeks snatched from a bewildering confusion of luncheons, dinners operas and balls; . little time in which to design ant order bewitching toilets, to devise fresh campaign ir entertainments that would rival those given by our friends; . few hours given to church going in plain gown and bonnet; few dollars out of our abundance given to charity; . few hours spent in reading the latest novels, and in discontented thought, and when from ennui life became un- bearable we would wish for the rush thct would once more stifle thought and memory. Then Easter would come to us in all its glory, Easter with its lilies and holy thoughts.
 In the great fashionable church, where sunlight filters through beauti- ful stained glass windows, and heaven ly music peals from organ and surpllced choir; where hundreds of snowy lilies would lift their heads like censers unto Heaven; the minister as fashionao ole as his church, in burning, eloquent words, would tell of that day so long ago, when the angel at the open sepulcher proclaimed risen Christ. How many of us would regret the year of frivoiity behind us, in which we had crushed every thought of God and His people from our hearts, and in which we had filled our minds and lives with vanity and folly? Easter would make an excuse for the wonderful display of beautiful costumes, of jewels, flowers, silks and laces which would fill the church What farce it would all be; and I-had any right to sit in judg- ment; did l not fill my life a. did they?

EASTER EGGS.
Ono of the Customs of Olden Times
 Easter Cards.


 Easter Cards.
 Of the old Easter customs, that of coloring eggs and making presents of them is the principal one that sur wives, although on the western slope of the Alps curious fashion still pre- vails which was alluded to in very old chronicle of central France. On Easter day a hundred e9gs-not boiled ones-are distributed over a level space covered with sand. and a young man and young woman execute a country dance around these eggs. The rule is that if they succeed in finishing this dance without breaking a single egg they will become affianced. There is a charming story told of the handsome duke of Savoy and the lovely gouvern- ante of Flanders who became affianced after this fashion and were happily married. This is not custom that is likely to spread, however, as civiliza- tion advances.
 It is in Paris that Paschal eggs are to be seen in the greatest plenty. They are painted in all sorts of colors aiiA transformed into many pretty and use ful articles, and old women go about the streets with whole barrow loads of them piled in separate heaps of white and colored eggs. In this coun- try the dainty Easter cards seem to have taken the place of the eggs used in other lands; and, after all, is it not more sensible, as we'll as more truly Christian, to send as an Easter remem- brance a suggestive and exquisite little picture with just verse which shall remind the recipient of that greatest day in the history of the universe the day when Christ is risen?"-Helen NJ. Winslow, in N. w. Christian Advo- cate.
