I I Neauiuc or tlje Easter Ekb- J As Easter represents anew birth into lite best life of all, it is easily seen bow the pagan idea tbat the egg wasthe beginning of all kinds of hie should become purified in the mi tide of the ' Christians, aud accepted as the typical ottering of good wishes aud emblematic of pleasant hopes between believers of the glad Easter day. The egg in some form or other has been the unquestioned type of the new life from toe very dawn of the Christian era. In .Russia as early as 1580 eggs colored red typifying tbe biood of Christ shed as an atonement for our sins, were the most treasured of exchanges of Easter. Every believer went abroad at this season with his pockets well supplied with Easter eggs, as tbe society man of to-day attends to his ' well filled card case. When two .Russians met for the first time during the 1 Easter holidays, if they had not met : on the day itself, the, belated Easter compliment were passed, first by 1 solemnly shaking hands in silence; then the elder (or tbe younger, if he [ outranked the elder) would say, "The J - Lord is risen," aud his companion would reDlv. "It is true." then they 1 5 kissed each other aud ceremoniously drew from their respective pockets ' the Easter-emblem, aud exchanged . eggs. The Syriaus believe also that the ' gods from whom they claimed descent were hatched from ruyster iously laid eggs. Heuce we infer that our present custom of offering the Easter egg emblem has the heatheu legends for its : origin; in fact, all our most precious festivals come down from similar ! sources, but purified with the light of i Christianity.?Chautaquian. r Girlhood and young womanhood are * such pure aud sweet and beautiful things when they are what God in> tended them to be that it fills one with ' unspeakable regret to see a young girl s life falling short of its appointed [ beauty. His great desire and delight is God ; } and my desiring and delighting, he ' hath him. Delight thou in the Lord, aud he shall give thee thy hearts desire, ?nimself; and then surely thou shalt have all. Any other thing com mit it to him, aud he shall bring it to 1 pass. t Christian forgiveness acts fairly aud generously. It does not load down the | ' offender with exacting and oppressiveh demand. It does not first bring him , i under the blow pipe of indignation and j, i scorch him and burn his offense into] bim, or knead him with fiery,fists and ; ( then say ; "Now, I am willing to for-! J give you." 1 Responsibility grows with posses-; sions. Everyone has a duty to give1 ' and to do; but he who has largest meaus and largest ability ought to give i more and do more than he whose lim- * itations are more restrictive. 1 ' As an old divine said, "The Lord - looks not so much at what you've given, as at what you've got left." **? #%%%%%%%%%% Blouse J W Link Cuff ^ ^ Fronl: ? |J . 1 Collar nvii r x $ Biggest Bargain A ^ _ Sent j: ^ . - Qr ^ j R.C.

You kno< the shadow that it sheds over all tfc pleasant alleys and the bordered path You need not be told how it changi the place for you into something oth< than it was. But there is anoth< aspect. Not a spot in all the inclosui brought to Joseph of Arimathea so ei during joy as the very place he ha builded for sorrow. And the sepulch< in your garden may do the same f< vnn Tfc mov hen r?snrr<?f?Hnn arw for your soul. Out of this sorro which wraps round you may rii into a purer and serener day. Tt rolling of the great stone to the do( may mark the finishing and bidic away of one portion of our Christia life, and the rolling away of that stoi on the third .morning may be the cod mencement of a higher and more coi secrated one. And if this be the cas then the sepulcher spot in your da: will be the most blessed of all. I joys will reach farther, shine oleare endure longer, than any belonging i the hours when your garden knew r tomb. Using your sorrow, it ma teach you as it has taught many, ho to say; "Ob. deem not they are blest alone Whose Uvea a peaceful tenor keep; t or (ioa, wbo pities man, batn kdowd A blessing for tbe eyes that weep." ?Hev, G.
