The gladsome Easter-tlde comes on.
The sesame OF spring.
When birds begin 90 tune the voice.
A summers praise 20 sing
The leaves upon the trees bud forth.
The daff0dils unfold.
All nature opens like a bud.
The sun floods earth with gold
No more IN this our better age.
DO maidens seek in dress
And costly bonnets 10 express
Their Easter happiness
The modern maid with brimming health.
Gives locks a saucy curl.
Brings forth her bike and natty suit
She's Natures Easter girl.

To neglect the putting on Of some
entirely new article Of dress on Eas-
ter Sunday was regarded BY the Eng
lish Of olden times as sure to bring bad
luck. and certainly this is one OF the
practices which has lost nothing with
the increase Of years. Only now It has
been slightly altered. SO that to have
no new clothes to exhibit at the Easter
parade Is considered sufficiently bad
luck IN Itself. without the fear OF any
further misfortunes that may result

his fruits is exemp.ifed in the case OF
an artist OF considerable reputation
who has been in the habit of spending
his summers in cultivating a farm in

pond on the place, he has found it
amusing and profitable TO fill it with
as many ducks as it would float.
One day a New York friend went in
TO the country to visit the artist
whom we shall call Smith. He met
countryman and conversation
along these lines followed:
