Mrs. Estabrook went back to her
carriage and was driven to her home, a
wiser il not sadder woman than she
had been for many day. To think
that she had been selfishly bemoaning
Helena's transition to higher life,
when there was such real, living trouble
at her door, needing the comfort that
she could SO easily give.
She had said that she could not give
up Helena's dolls. and little Minnie
Crandall had had to give her only doll
to the washwoman, TO ease suffering
father.
"Dear Helena, how glad she will be
tomorrow, to know that her toys have
gone to glad Eastertide for one Of Gods
little ones!"
Her heart a. last was stirred to it's
most generous depths, and early Easter
morning, on her way to church, she
drove to the door of the Crandnlls' poor
home. for this time the carriage held
that which made It needful to drive into
the narrow court.
The faithful John had had to make
several trips to and from the carriage,
for there was basket Of dainty dishes
for the invalid; and the dolls bedstead
with its sleeping twins, that would open
their eyes when Minnie should take
them up; the tiny tea table and arm
chair; the china tea set and boxes full
of other toys. There were Helena q

no more divinely appropriate ex-
preston of the Moravians' love OF mi-

the quiet streets (of Bethlehem, Pal

from place to place, pouring forth
their grand, inspiring anthem that
arouses the slumbering town to the
welcome knowledge of the advent of
this glorious day. Now here, now

with people, young and old. vending
their way from ali directions toward the
church, and greeting one another with
loving snlutations of the day. The
Easter service is begun within the
church, and is continued there until
the Frightening day announces the ad-
vent of the dawn. Then, in slow pro-
cession, subdued and revercnt, the pco-
pie pass without the doors, and, head

ascend the winding hill to their be-
loved and quaint old burying-ground.

of the emblem of its cherished faith.
A little apart stand the ministers, and
the trombone choir. Thus assembled,
the service of song and responsive rend-
ings, begun in the church. is continued.
A sense Of deep. religious awe per-
vades the gathered throng. as on this
cold, gray morning Of the early
spring they yswait In spiritual commun.

the Resurrection hour. Above the hill
the dawning light appears. Then from
the voices Of. the assembled host there
bursts melody of raptured song, q
heartfelt hymn of praise and adora-

that starts in glad expression of tri

Reginald Ashcroft was the son Of rich but
refined parents, and yet he was not happy.
There was a panied expression upon his
handsome countenance, and ever and anon
he walked to the window and looked out
over the beautiful prospect that stretched

had for two hours been hitched in front Of
the stately old mansion. and dashed down
the broad highway.
Upon reaching Wilton manor the young

Mr.. Candall had been failing for
many months, and now the doctor had
said that 1t was but question of days
when he would be out Of his misery.
Their few savings, for they had been q
thrifty family, had soon melted away
for his medicines and their daily food.
The doctor expected no pay for his time
and advice, but the druggist had de-
manded cash for ench prescription

she had managed at first, by the help
of the two older girls about the house
before and after school daily, to find
odd moments to sew by daylight, but
her necdlework Ind been chiefly done
at night, when her husbands maps were
longest. Yet she had only delayed the
hour which was now to be met, when
there was nothing for druggist or
grocer.
Customers naturally had carried their
work elsewhere, nsoso often her work
was not finished at the time promised,
the husband requiring unexpected care
from her. Then she had had recourse
to the selling Of the cradle, no longer
needed; then her own little sewing
chair, the birthday gift from a brother;
but the few extras brought small sums
from her almost as poor neighbors, who
purchased them. 1t was the old, old
story; and now she could not fnd time

was nearly exhausted with overwork.

The head so lately crowned with thorn.
The roses were the first to hear:
Ere yet the dark had dreamed of dawn,
The faintest rustic reached their ear:
They heard the napkin downward drawn,
They listened to His breathing low:
His feet upon the threshold fall
Bring roses-sweetest buds that blow,
His love the perfume of them all.
The lilies were the first to see:
They, watching In the morning gray,
Saw angels come SO silently
And roll the mighty stone away:
They saw Him pass the portals gloom;
He brushed their leaves = oh, happy
dover.
Bring lilies purest buds that bloom,
His face reflected in each flower.
The roses were the first to hear.
The lilies were the first to see:
Bring fragrant flowers from far and near
To match the Easter melody!

And every heart the rapture share

The roses and the lilies fair.
