THE ORIGIN OF EASTER LILIES.

Within tho rich mans garden
Full many a flower was seen,
With crowns of gold and crimson
on cups of emerald green
They brought the dead king thither,
And every flower in bloom
Bowed down its head In sorrow
About tho Savior's tomb.
But seel the whihe-wlnged angels
Have rolled the stone away,
And md the flowers only
Tho white grave cefements lay.
Next day they sought to nnd them
I.oi rising where they foil.
Ike the white hand of an angel,
Waved Theresa iily's bell.
50 pure, SO white and spoiless
IL no lltu,d in fhe air.
AS II to tell new cJners
Theat lie had risen there.
Born OF HIS white robes fallen,
lake white leaves folded up, :,
They found q saepter gold and small
within each fragrant cup.
And so amid the blossoms
or the rich mais fragrant bowers
Was horn the F,aSior lily
The angel OF the flowers,

The Study of English.
Atlanta Constitution.


More attention should be paid To the
study OF English. Especially should the
elementary branches Of the language be
more thoroughly mastered. on the de-
ceptive idea that English is our mother
tongue, and. therefore, easily mastered.
the schools OF the country are not dis
posed TO eiye as much time 10 English as
they should; but this Is very great mis-
take The study of English should take
precedence over all other languages. and
the student should be thoroughly ground
ed IN its principles. II the high schools
and academies of the country do their
duty in this respect the work OF the coli
leges and universities will be made COM
paratively easy. The standard OF adj
mission into the university, on the score
OF English. should be raised by all means:
and the same considerations which apply
tn the university Of course apply with
equal force TO other higher institutions
of learning.
