You may move the hands of the clock to suit you, but you do not change tbe time; you may hurry the unfolding of God's will, but you barm and do not heln His work. You can open a rosebud, but you spoil tbe flower. Leave all to htm. "Thy will, not mine." A real heart-righteousness will strive to keep itself pure. It will do this even though, in order to do it, it m^st sacrifice something as precious as an eye or a band. It will never allow Itself speech that in at all profane. In spesking God's name, it does so reverently. And yet there are men and youths who form the habit of seasoning their speech with profane words that cause a righteous man to shudder as they fell upon his ear. Mountain* may moulder into dust, oceans evaporate and parch like the burning sands of the desert, constellations crumble and as the fine dust of the balance vanish, yes, heaven and earth may pass away, but the love of God, our father, coustant will remain.

AN EASTER STORY | BY EU 8HEPPERD t SN A bright Saturday in April j Uncle Meek and Aant Reble walked down tbe big road to | Jo-Jim, the adopted Ron of this , old conple, despite their injunctions, plaj - , ed ill conditioned pranks along the way. J In A ant Itebic's white oak apiint ban- j it were ten dozen eggs, nicely packed in cotton seed, with a bit of lint cotton on , lop. With this she counted on baying many , fellcacies to add to an Easter feast, , mainlr to h# furnished br a basket from rolstonc House. That never failing Erin- . tar basket would contain a turkey, flank- | ed with jams and "llgbtnin breed" and , real "white folks' cake." Master and , mistreat never forgot these old quondam llaves at Eastertide. , But at the first store of the short row ( jf village shops Rebie came to fear that he could not get even the moderate price ] jf 10 cents a dozen for tbe eggs she car- , tied, tor there she saw what she had nev- j tt seen before, a gorgeous supply of eggs , -eed, yellow, purple, blue, gold* and nev- ' v a plain white one among them. "Per goodness' sake. Meek, what sorter ? eggs is dem?" exclaimed tho old woman. "They are Easter eggs. The Easter , ton laid them," explained the young cleric facetiously. , "You don't say! Not des one ben, sir? r<m hear dat, Meek! Des one ben. Do , the batch also?' Well, not often, sue usually rests up HI another Easter." I "Well, she need to." , Can't I nell you some?" A gleam lit up Meck's dim old eyes as ( be drew his wife aside to whisper: "Boot leg Muc ben want' set, Reble." j "Fer true!" exclaimed Itebie. ( "Swap yo' eggs for some of dem, Re* , We." "Even swap?" , "Is you crazy? Dosen fer one and be ] jUd." ' "What 'bout de other things us wus , prine buy?" "Ain't what marse sends al'a's 'nougb . isd mo'?" ( 80 Bebie offered the exchange of a dozen for one.

I In fnct, !t was the only raw one of the , lumber, the only one whose pores were , not thick with dye. , With every precaution the boot leg blue i iras "set-" , Here were two treasures now to -be , pxarded from the prying proclivities of | Jo-Jim?the nest of many colored eggs . ind a certain strong box chained to the , leg of the old four post bed in the cabin. Even since the little scamp could re- j member he bad tried to find out how that J box got there and what was in it. but old | Etebie did not herself know.

The ' j old peopl* felt forsaken and forlorn as they shivered over their smoldering logs. ; It was the first time master had forgotten them wince the surrender, and now they needed help badly. Now and then in his misery Meek looked furtively and uneasily toward the box chained to the bedpost. The guardianship of that box had grown heavier year by year, yet he felt thnt be must be true to his word to old master and not gire it over to young master, who was now himself r?8 years old. until he should plainly Seed it most. But Meek had reasons of his own for being very anxious to deliver to master that strong box. Meek reealled with grief and fear Jo-Jim's never allayed curiosity concerning the contents of the box. He sighed a great deal by his fireside and kept his old pistol loaded. Dank was settling down when tramping hoofs roused the old couple by the fire, and then at last came the long looked for basket from Tolstone House. Bat sach a small basket! "You see," said the boy who brought the basket, "times is hard wid us. Been gettln hard a long time.

Leaving the poor little present, a pack&j<e of tea crackers and a robin pie, the bey was off before the old people had roused themselves from the shock of his news. Real want at Tolstone House! Hie place waa their ideal of all that was rich, beautiful and generous. They both sat lileot awhile, casting solicitous glances it the robin pie and tea cakes. There was a long pause, then Bcbie laid, MA young, tender goose ain't bad satin." Now, though Easter, as they called him, might, aa the ages of geese go. be expected to nave many a year ueiorw him, jet he could by no means be called foung and tender, but so he seemed to these fond old people. "Fer young master's sake," murmured Meek, tenderly stroking the gander's white bead as Easter hissed softly and upturned a questioning pink rimmed eye. "Us can put him 'live in a basket and tart by soon daylight." MI must carry dat box to young master." Ton tote de box. FU tote de goslin." Latterly Meck's uneasiness over the box had kept him wakeful, but that night the knowledge that he was so soon to get rid of the great responsibility acted like t sedative on the weary old brain. Old Rebie, however, kept awake as long as the pet of the household remained restless, and it was late ere she, too, unlr intn hfurr hi limber. Bat at midoiight both old people wore ihakca roughly from their slumbers by a load note of terror from Easter. "Dat'a lat gander! Kill him,** said a maffled roiee in the cabin. Instantly Meek snatched the old pistol from bis pillow and cocked it with a load click- , "Lord, hare mercy on me," groaned Meek, "bat If yoa was my own son I'd kill yon if yon got dat box. If I don't sco you git empty handed oat dat do' 'to* I count three, yoa Is a -dead nigger fer iho." Then Aunt Rebie screamed loader than Baster, and the two cowardly thieves made a dash for the door. As they leaped ?at the two old people saw that one was their scapegrace, their sorrow, Jo-Jim. Meek made fast the door again. Easter hissed in exnltatioo. The rest of the night they sat by the hearth guarding ?runt Voit morninc at dawn ild couple were off, laden with box, basket and blunderbuss. The sweet April fcir was all astir with flight and fluttering t>f bird wings. The fence corners were blue with wild violets. The golden bells 5 the jasmine sweetened every swamp ind field. At last the white pillars of Tolstoue House cam* in sight. The poor old people were admitted, and Bebie presented tier gift?Easter. Easter behaved very handsomely. He turned up one bright eye on the master, the other on the mistress, who wept at the gift of her former slave. -Master, too, must wipe his glasses. Meek put the box on the table before the coloneL 9fom bis neck he took the key on its leather itring. Old master had given it to him long years before, when the now staid old colonel waa a wild spendthrift. After much ado it opened. The lid was lifted. The glow of gold and the sparkle Df Jewels shone before the amazed eyea. A yellow letter told a part of the story. The colonel's recollections of his early escapades filled up any blanks. "And Eaater save us all dot money," cried Rcbie, and she reiterated the story of how the sagacious gander had awaksned them in the night. "Easter shall never be eaten," declared mistress. Indeed, Easter's age had already given bond that he should never be eaten with pleasure. So it came about that the colonel's young son visited a home of rejoicing Instead of one of sorrow.

"I used to see them in the windows of the shops where they make them." All dny the lily stood in a slender vase it the head of the cot.
