it were door. And soon the little
girl came forth from the grave and the
angel told her that he had come to
take her to her mother in heaven.
Then the little girl asked in O. tremb-
ling voice whether. even humpbacked
children could enter heaven. She
could not conceive such thing posi-.
bic.
Yet the angel answered, "You dear,
good child, you are no longer hump
backed" aud with those words he
passed his white hand over her back
and the ugly old hump fell off like q
great hollow shell, and this left her 4
transformed being.
And what was in it9 Two beautiful
white angel wings! The child spread
them out, as though she had always
known how to fly, and she flew with
the angel through the dazzling sun
light up into the blue sky. On the
loftiest seat in heaven sat her good
old mother awaiting her with out-
stretched arms, aud the child flew

ored egg, of pert tall-eared rabbit,
and those who cannot understand why
bunny should have a place in our
Easter decorations shrug their shoul-
ders and think it trick to please the
children. But the legend OF the
Easter rabbit is one of the Oldest in
mythology, and is mentioned in the
early folklore OF South Germany.
Originally, it appears, the rabbit was
bird, which the ancient Teutonic
goddess Ostara-goddess of the east
or of spring-trausformed into a
quadruped. For this reason the rab-
bit or hare is grateful, and in remem-
brance of its former condition as
bird and as swift messenger of
spring, and of the goddess whom it
served, is able to lay colored Easter
eggs on her festival in the spring
time, the colors illustrating the theory
that when it was bird the rabbit laid
colored eggs, and an egg has always
been a symbol of the resurrection,
and, therefore, used as an illustra-
ton at Easter.

her dear mother had told her came
back to her memory, and in childish
fashion she sometimes prayed that
some good fairy would come and take
away the burden that threatened to
blight her whole life.
Oh, if she were only like other
children! Was there one OF them
who loved the sunshine and the flow
ers better than she, and yet among
them all was there one who saw so
little of the sunshine and the flowers
as she did? From her seat by the
window she saw the little ones play
ing in the narrow street, and as their
frequent peals of merry laughter came
to her ear, her question, "Why am l
not like other children" became ever
more urgent.
So the summer passed, and when
winter came the little girl was still
pale and she had become so weak that
she could no longer sit on her window
sill, bat was obliged to remain lying
in bed, and, just when the snowdrops
were beginning to peep above ground,
the good old mother came to her one
night and told her how glorious and
beautiful it was in heaven.
The following morning the child
was dead.
Don't weep, father" said her new
mother; cit is best for the poor child.

"What is inside of it, 7 wonder!"
she said to herself. 'There must be
something inside OF such hump as
this is"
Many strange fancy entered her
little head and many an hour she
wiled away in wondering why her
back, instead Of being straight like
the backs of other children, was dis
torted out of all shape by such an ug-
ly hump. The stories OF fairies which

walk The people stood an looked at
the child and whispered along them
selves. When the little girl asked her
mother why the people looked at her
so strangely the mother always re-
piled, 1T is because you have on such
a beautiful new dress" Thereupon
the little one was cOntented. As soon,
however, as they returned home the
mother would clasp her little daugh-
ter in her auns, kiss her again aud
again and say: "You sweet little angel,
what woald become of you if were
TO die?' No one, not even your father,
.uows what dear little angel you
ve,''
Some timo afterward the mother be-
came suddenly sick and she died on
the ninth day. Tbereupon the father
Of the little girl threw himself in de-
spair on the deathbed and asked to be
buried With his wife. His friends,
however, spoke to him and comforted
him, and so he left his wite,s body,
and a year later he took unto himself
another wife, who was lovelier, young
er and richer than his first wife, but
by no means rs good.
And from the day that her mother
died the little girl spent her whole
time from morning till evening seated
at tho window sill in the sitting room,
since there was no one who would
take her out for q walk. She had be-
come even paier than before and she
Slad not grown at all during the latter
: years.
When her new mother came to the
house she said to herself: "Now [ will
go out walking again in the city and
on the beautiful promenades where
the sun shines so brightly, where
there are so many lovely shrubs and
flowers aud where there is such 4
crowd Of handsomely dressed people. "
For she lived in narrow little alley,
in which the suu seldom shoue, and
when she sat On the window sill she
saw only little bit of the blue sky
a bit not larger than pocket hand
kerchief. Her new mother went out
nearly every day in the forenoon and
afternoon, and each time she wore a
very beautiful dress, much more
beautiful than any dress the first
mother had ever owned. But she
never took the little girl with her.
Finally the child took heart, and
one day she earnestly begged her new
mother to take her out with her. The
mother, however, refused bluntly,
saying: "You are not smart enough.
What would the people think if they
were to see me with you? You are a
little hunpback. Humpbacked chill,
slren never go walking, but always
stay at home"
Thereupen the little girl became very
quiet, and as soon as her new mother
had left the house she got on a chair
