Of Gaster

Ia EFER Natures long, cold night
"a Wrapped in icy sheets o
Ne'er a flower, or bird to sing
Nature wakes, and, 10, It's spring!
And the church bells sweetly chime,
Welcoming the Easter time.
Tiny shoots of green appear
Fragile children, pale with fear,
Needing all the love and care
Of the warm sun shining there.
And the church bells sweetly chime,
Welcoming the Easter time.
Pussy willows show their fur.
You can almost hear them purr
Out their welcome to the spring,
Joining with the birds that sing.
And the church bells sweetly chime,
Welcoming the Easter time.
Oh, the smell of warm, moist earthl
Oh, the magic Of the birth
Of the tiny ferns and flowers
Soon to glorify the hours
And that mystery sublime
That the bells so sweetly chime!

FLOWERS OF THE PASSION.
Some Legends Of PIants Connected
With the Story Of Easter.

Some legends Of Plants Connected
With the Story Of Easter.
Some Of the early Italian painters
have In the foreground Of their cruel.
fxion scenes the white wood -sorrel,
purple stained, which Is said to have
grown at the foot Of the cross and to
have been colored from the blood which
dropped upon 1t. The fact, as Ruskin
points out. that the leaf Of this plant
possessed the power Of quenching
thirst may have been another reason
for Its introduction into the pictures.
One species Of the orchid, which in
England Is called Gethsemane and
whose petals are marked with dark
stains; the passion flower, symbollcal
Of the crown, the scourge, the spear
and the nails; the arum, tiger lily and
scarlet anemone-all. 1t was believed,
were mute witnesses Of tho crucif xion.
And the white lily, emblem Of purity,
has always been connected with the
stories Of the Virgin and Of Christ.
In Palestine there grows creeping
plant with long, hard thOrns-the Spina
christi-which may have furnished ma.
terial for the crown Of thorns placed on
the Savi0urs head. One Of the legends
says that the willow was used for this
purpose and that In sorrow for It's fate
Its leaves droop and 1t weeps.
