merit Of the composition is consider
ed remarkably high.

ira. is a pupil of De Pachman. under

She was a maid and | was a man,
And in a springtime long ago,

In CLINT OF green and rosy

Under the changing skies we strolled,

And the old, old tale was the one /
told,
Since | was man and she was a
maid.
Many and many year has gone,
And April is smiling in tears

VIRGINS TREE" HAS FALLEN.
Sycamore Under Which Virgin Mary
Rested During Her Flight.
From a Carlo DISPATCH,

The year 1906 has been an event
full year in Egypt in many ways, but
it will also serve to mark the dis
appearance of one of the few early
christian relics the country possess
es. From time immemorial visitors,
impelled by curiosity or by pious
generation, have made a point of
trudging out to Matarieh, a village
about five miles beyond Carlo, on the
northeast side, in order to have a
look at the virgins Tree" a syca-
more tree under which the Virgin
Mary is said to have rested during
her fight into Egypt. Now the Wiz
gins Tree" is no more, having fallen
on July IA.
The curious part about the ven
GRAFTON in which the tree has been
held is that it is not the original
tree which afforded a shelter to our
Lord, for it is we'll known that it
was planted toward the end of the
seventeenth century. Tradition says
that it sprang from the seed of the
original sycamore, and the course OF
years has caused this fact to pass
into oblivion and replaced it by the
story that it is the original tree.
Strange to relate, Moslems have
always evinced a great respect for
the virgins Tree" Ismail Pasha
made a present of it to the Empress
Eugene when she came to Egypt
for the opening of the Suez Canal,
and it is owing to the initiative OF
the present Khedive that cuttings
were sometime back taken from the
sycamore. BY these means a fresh
sapling can be obtained, and so take
the place of the one that has fallen,
and. if it does nothing else it will
mark the spot which has been the
subject of veneration of the pious for
nearly 1000 years.
