An Easter Song.

An Easter Song.
Every face is beaming,
Every step is light,
All the world is beautiful
From merry morn till night.
The little streams are dancing
And flashing, just for fun,
And joyfuly to meet the sea,
The mighty rivers run.
And twice ten thousand flowers,
And twice ten thousand more,
Are waking in the lonesome woods
And by the cottage door.
To count the Easter lilies
Is more than you or l
Can hope TO do the long day through
How hard soe'er we try.
Every face is beaming.
Every step is light,
For Ger the threshold Easter slipped
At waning OF the night.
And little birds are singing
Like mad for Joy Of lie,
And all the hours, in sun and showers,
With Drumming Joy are rife.
U1lift the songs OF Easter,
Let none today be still,
When this great world Is Like cup
That flowers overfill,
When blossoms deck the orchard,
And boughs are pink and white,
And winds 90 by. like wings that fly.
From merry morn I'll Night.

Easter Lilies Fading.

See, those Easter lilies laid
On the cross begin to fade. +
II the one who bore them hither
Had a faith that will not wither;
II he hath within his bosom
Love to God and man in blossom,
Tho his dearest hopes decay,
Health and riches pass away,
Unseen crosses he can dress
And give life Easter cheerfulness.

WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette, Deldparc, Ohio.

The healthfulness Of bicycle riding for
women is still disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women means of outdoor exercise. the
benefit Of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pastime, its
effect is likely TO be dangerous.
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed, the
seventeen-year-ol daughter of Mr.. j. X.
Reed, 335 Lake St, Delaware. Ohio, may
point a moral for parents who, like Mr.. and
Mrs. Reed, have experienced some concern
for their daughters who are fond of wheel
ing In the fall Of 90 Miss Bertha who had
ridden a great deal, began to fail in an
alarming manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was going
