A Scientific Experiment.

Their character appear,

The authors meaning clear.
But mad anachronisms Turk
In the romantic cult.

This was dire result:
Nothing was left of each fair girl
Except some diamon tears,
Two rowS Of teeth of shining pearl,
A pair Of Shell-like ears.
The marble brow without a speck,
The ivory arms were there;
A perfect alabaster neck,
And long gold plaited) hair.

And. hidden in each gay coQuette,
A heart Of flint or stone.
The truth at last I can but see.
And science seems to teach

EASTER TRIUMPH.
Fresh Impetus Given to the Upward
 Aspirations of Mankind.

The passing of the severe season is the signal for undisguised triumph in external nature. Sky and sun, and mead and crag. are lighted up with a new fire It is the feast of the sun, the yearly awakening of the myriad sleep ing beauties-the running of the sap, the colorng of the leaf and the flower, the return of life and strength and myr- fad activities.
 Mans Easter is at one with that of nature and with the Divine who is risen. The ancient church ranks the resurrec- tion as the first and primal basis of her claim. For if He is not risen there is no shadow of right in Christianity as a Divine institution. But, on the other hand, all men are risen with Him. The world rose very great and strong on that Easter morning when Love came back from the tomb with a message of hope and proof and assurance of the faith of the chosen few.
 Ever since Easter triumphs have multiplied rising is the new order. Ex- celsior is the schoolboy's motto. Full grown ambition sees nothing in the way of his attaining the greatest honor or the highest station-except lack of opportunity and unfavorable circum- stances. The primeval downward in man comes back now only as an atav- ism that is out of place and out cf date. In the aspiring of an ill-judged pur- suit of greatness or success, the bad trait of some long dead ancestor comes back to pull down, instead of building up. The general tendency, however. is upward. We believe a fresh impetus was given to it on the first Easter when the women waited for Him to come back--the Light of Hope from the sightless eyes of death. There is no more darkness or death. but light and life.lCollier's Weekly.

 "Flowers. what fiowers?'' demanded Jerlyn, nervously. He was little, nervous man, who spoke rapidly. Didn't know you cared for 'em. l don't. Cabbages eae much more to my taste, especially when boiled with bacon or beef.''
 Bradnor did not pursue the subject, but he brooded over it all the more. He had no acquaintance or friend at the Springs save Jerlyn. and he was sure the landlord had not provided them.
 He was now able to sit in an easy chair and the doctor had promised that within day or two he might, with the aid of crutches, leave his room and mingle with the guests of the hotel.
 The following morning he was awake when Bridget, the chambermaid, en- tered his room and was surprised to see her bearing a cluster of fresh roses in her hands.
 Bridget" he said. with firmness, "come here.
 The girl, somewhat trepidant, ap- proached his bedside, still holding the flowers.
 "so it is you who have been filling that vase every morning, is it?"
 "Shure. sor. an so it wor." she replied, with courtesy.
 "Yes, Bridget, now hand me that pocketbook on the table there. That is well. Now I want you to tell me who gave you the roses to bring in to me-"
 .'Howly mither, sor, an that l will niver be afther doin' Mrs. Travis, the teddy. sor, thrittened me I don know what av sid wurred about her, sor-''
 That will do, my girl" he said, gen tly as he placed 8 bill ill her hands. Leave the roses here by my side and go out of the room for a little while"
 "Tin dollars" cried Bridget, after reaching the hall. 'an' all because wor afther refusin' the tillin' av him who sint theml Shure the kind gintleman's gone elane deft.''
 Bradnor seized the cluster eagerly and let his nostI-ils drink in their grate- ful odor. While he did so the memory of the heavenly voice freshened, and he seemed to hear it sing over and over again the hymns of the Easter day ser vice. Then he listened for the dear words of the flower song: Iris the Last Rose of Summer" In deep revery he closed his eyes for several moments, after which he opened them again. laid the roses down with profound sigh and then said, aloud:
 ''Yietor Bradnor. you wretch, you are deeply, desperately and foolishly in love with human voice, and that voice

sion. The friend, whose name was Jerlyn, ran rapidly down the steps and hastily leaned over the prostrate man, while the ladies looked anXiously on from the piazza. Other guests were quickly attracted to the spot.
 My Godl" cried Jerlyn, looking upward towards the ladies, after he had touched the forehead and the wrist of Bradnor, "I am afraid the dear old fel- low is dreadfully hurt"
 A physician was hastily summoned, but meantime the injured man had been tenderly borne by strong arms to his bed chamber. He recovered conscious ness after some moments and when a careful examination had been made the medical man declared that no bones were broken, but that a badly-sprained ankle would eonfine Bradnor to his bed for many days.
 The young, stalwar-t fellow, with his six feet of height and broad shoulders, chafed under the latter sentence. He did not feel i'll, although the pain was intense in his ankle. But the doctor was obdurate, declaring that most seri- ous results would be likely to follow any attempt upon his part to arise from his bed for week, at least.
 Win a groan the man turned his face away and presently fell asleep, from the effects of an opiate that had been administered in his arm.
 The following morning he dozed fit fully. the effects of the drug not having worn away. but with the afternoon his intelligence returned to him. His eyes ranging over the room he saw upon his dressing case a great cluster of red roses, and for moment he wondered who had given them to him; but the thought was an evanescent one. Per haps he thought it was <an act of 'Jer- lyn's. who had spent the greater part of the day in his room.
