AN EASTER LESSON.
The Spirit of Love, Hope, Cheer and
FuIth,


1t is ever the same, yet never the
same. This Easter, as all the Easter
days before, will set the bells a-swing
ing, and will pile all the affairs high
with blossoms.
Think for one moment of the chorus
of praise that will go up on Easter
morning from all the churches in all the
lands of all the Christian world. And
that thought alone is enough to make
your own heart echo with the Easter
JOY and praise. Think again of the
myriads and myriads of flowers about
the church affairs and in the homes of
the high and the low. And remember,
how all through this beautiful SPRING
time they have been getting ready for
this festal day.
Look at the Easter from the universal
standpoint. Ask yourselves how much
of all the great worlds work and life
are due to love and hope and cheer and
faith.
We shall find leaning down upon these
qualities all that spirit which makes
our homes lovely. All that spirit which
has built our hospitals and our
churches. All that spirit which has
made our nation worth living and dy-
ing for. And then let us remember that
these blessed things, love and hope and
faith, come to us through that tri-
umphant life that swung wide the gates
of Easter and let the King of Glory in.
If we begin by looking into the sig
niticance of all that Easter means uni
versally we are far more apt to get
what it means individually to every
soul. Or, if individually our hearts are
not yet in perfect attune with Easter
music and Easter praise, we have the
better JOY of being glad that upon all
the rest of this weary world the Sun Of
righteousness has risen. Whether to
us it is or is not the holy day, our hearts
cannot fail to respond joyfully to the
fact that. since He is risen, it is the
worlds great holiday. - Washington

"There-there's Billings out at the
gate. Good-by, my dear. Give Jack my
love when you write-sorry he can't be
up for Easter. Good-by." Mr.. Mon
tague clapped his hat on his head, sa-
luted his wife, made grab for his cane
and departed.
Then Mrs. Montague sat down to
think of the trials of that time, a little
less than year before. There never
had been in the world, she thought, such
long and beautiful friendship as that
between herself and Helen Kapulette.
To think that after having gone to the
same identical school together-the
best of chums-they were married the
very same day-tO travel in separate di-
rections later, to be sure-and both had
moved to Mayfeld at last to live. Mrs.
Montague recalled every detail of her
order for that fatal Easter bonnet; eX-
actly that delicate shade of yellow, and
what the trimmings were-and every
thing. Then the changes she had or
dered the eXasperating slowness and
stupidity of Miss lie Fevre; the crazed
despair, when, that Saturday night she
returned so late from calling with
Helen, to find that her bonnet had not
yet arrived And then that awful time

Il
the wrong bonnet-a bonnet she had
never seen before-a horrid nightmare
of thing in lavender and pink, which
she had to wear or stay at home-new
blue silk and all.
She wouldn't have believed that Helen
could have worn her own very bonnet
and with yelling over the yellow at that

TO each other again. No, she didn't be-

Helen was half so ready to forget and

SO at length she arose and went to her
desk to write to her grown-up ''bov."
In the course of time, and several DAYS
before Easter, the bonnet from the
great metropolis arrived along with a
note from Jack deplorine the fact that
he could not have carried it home in
person. 1t was really a jewel, dainty
creation of airy, graceful feathers on a
moss-green frame and subducd with
violets that were poised with an ex-
quisite grace, where they nodded and

stated that the grade of Wilton required

when You write ro the Queen.

The paper on which letters to Queen
Victoria are written must not be folded.
No communication which bears evil
dence of having been creased will ever
fall into her majesty's own hands. The
proper method is to write on thick,
glossy white paper, and to dispatch the
inissive in an envelope which its it.
Any folded communication never
reaches the queen, for the simple rea-
son that she never looks at it. All
such letters are opened by the mistress
of the robes, and, as a rule, their con-
rents never get beyond her, or, if the
letter is of Importance, it is returned
to the writer with the directions how
to forward it.-,N. Y.;-Herald.

A Marrow Escape.

Fred Waffle, brakeman on the O. r.

at he recently burned Horseshoe curve
bridge, between Durkee and Unity, last
week. The train had been cut in two,
and Mr.. Waffle was attending to his
duty on top OF freight car. The car
upon which he was riding and another
car left the rails on the bridge, where it
was 3S feet to the ground. The cars tore
up the ties for a distance of 80 or 40 feet,
but luckily for Mr.. Waffle, did not turn
over or leave the bridge. Those who
know the circumstances say that Mr..
Waffle will never have closer call for
his life.
