All in a hushed silence. sorrows way,
And bearing spices sweet deaths work to

Three women. wan. and worn and grieving,

Their steps midst shadows: like them as

Along still streets uptown. whose ruins say
How earth did quake when fed the light
of day;
Beyond the temple with Its great veil rent,
Beyond the outer wall with Fastening tread.
Unto the garden, to the new-built tomb.
They found the rock rolled back. pres

With radiance glorifled the narrow room.

o Easter dawn, glad Easter dawn!
The shadows of night are furled,
And morning lights the waking world
The watch is past, the guard withdrawn!
The ponderous stone is rolled away!
From rifted tomb where slept the slain,
Our risen Lord comes forth again
And earth is glad on Easter day.
o hope of earth, immortal born!
Our faith with rapture scars and sings.
And heaven is stirred with vibrant wings
Above the happy Easter morn!

College Training for Girls.

1t is constantly impressed upon a boy
during the four years of college t:ain-
ing that he must find out what ne is
good for; he must either be fit, or
ready to be fitted, to do some thing
which will have definite market value.
Eut, says Prof. Mary r. Smith, in
Popular Science Monthly" the destiny
of the girl who goes to college is care
fully concealed from her. If you marry.
you will need biology, the science OF
dom to attain and preserve health: So
life and reproduction; hygiene, the wis
dom to attain and preserve healh; So
GEOLOGY, the laws which govern individ-
uals In society chemistry. physics, &C.
onomics, all the sciences which may
help to solve the problems which the
housewife must meet; literature and
language, the vehicles of poetry and
inspiration. No one has the courage to
suggest any of these suitabIe-nay,
quite essentail-to the successful full
hllment Of her probable vocation in
lire. Young women are turned EIndIy
adr1ft among a mass of subjects. with
TO guide but a perverted instinct. and
with many a hindrance in thesh2pe OF
tradition and ridicule. In all ages men
have united in alteration of the dignity
OIL domesticity, and sacredness of E1otn-
erhood; yet any loving. foolish. ua-
trained, inefficient creature has been
held to be good enough to be a ,yir.
and mother. We do not exrect a man
TO become distinguished engineer or
professor of Latin by studying a lit

suage; yet We expect a woman to un-
uertake an occupation for which i'm ths

OUR SOUVENIR.


Of a progressive journal and the
principle and policy of this age, is
the cry "up to date" Steadily
The BEE has worked itself in the
confidence of the people and estab-
lished itself upon solid foundation
in the city of magnificent distan-
ces'' where journalism has not, to
q certain extent been a success.
Afro American Journalism like
all others edited by Afro-American
can succeed.
There is an art in running a
newspaper as there is in all other
enterprises.
The BEE is fifteen years old, and
Notwithstanding its maany trials
and tribulations, it leads Afrs-
American journalism in the United
States.
1t is the purpose of the manage
ment of this journal to publish a
daily paper; but in starting such an
enterprise the confidence of the
people must be obtainded to the ex-
tent that it is to be a fixture.
This fifteenth anniversary of The
BEE shows that it has grown since
it's first publication in 1882.
Afro-Americans have not, as the
proud Caucasian, the art of advan-
cling their interests. They don't
seem to know the use and value of
printers ink.
Afro-American Journalists are
not in possession of telegraphic fa-
cilities and other advantages that
would make newspaper pay, they
have the idea, the power and abil-
ity.
Newspapers like fashions must
be up TO date, and if they fail the
publications are useless to the man
agement financially.
Newspapers are published for
several reasons. Two of the main
reasons are for the public good and
the financial benifit to the manage
ment. These are inseperable con.
stituents of a newspaper.
The BEE has withstood the storm
of opposition and no matter what its
imperfections may have been it has
condemned the wrong, be it in the
palaces of the rica or the huts and |
the novels OF the poor.
The BEE has been right On
all questions of public policy. |
Judges some time attempt to in
Clmi0ate journal the verdict of
jury seemingly puts the stamp of
condemnation upon you; a Presi-
dent of great Republic may en-
deavor to besmear you, but there is
q higher power than a Judge, jury
or president. THR PEOPLE, The
PEOPLE.
Trnth crushed to the earth shall
arise again, is an aphorism too true.
The BEE has nothing to regret.
When future ages lock IN the
book OF fame, there will be embla-
zoned in letters of gold The BEE,
the peoples paper.
