Sucb'beautiful eggs on Easter days ?”
r n.ierlv abine the April skies,
Like laughter and tears in my child's blue
eyes,
^aibis youngster’s by' saying
. .“‘JmI my brains for the tale ho begi
knit tell him this story of Easter eggs:
y„n have heard, my boy, of the Mun who
,'«,wMd with keen thorns and crucified
kn’l how- Joseph, the wealthy, whom God
Cared*or ’the corpse of His martyred
nlonsly tombed it within the rock,
$ closed the gate with a mighty block.
..... 0 |ose bv the tomb a fair tree grew
,Vitb pendulous leaves and blossoms of
and deep in the tree’s shadowy broaat,
V beautitul singing bird eat on her nest,
Which was bordered with mosses like
malachite,
.tad held four eggr of an ivory white.
Vow when the biri from her dim recess,
ii.Leld the Lord in his bnrial dress,
and looked on the heavenly face so pale,
Jud tile dear feet pierced with the cruel
.j,r heart nigh broke with a sudden pang,
Ami out of the depths of her sorrow she
sang.
all night long ’till the moon was up,
gtc sat and sang in her moss-wroatbed
A inng*of sorrow so wild aod shrill,
AS the homeless wind when it roams the
go full of tears, so loud and long.
That the grief of the world aeemed turned
to song.
Hut soon there came through the weeping
night,
AglitteriDg angel clothed in while;
And he rolled the stone from the tomb
away,
Where the Lord of the Earth and the
Heavens lay;
And Christ arose in the cavern’s gloom,
And in living lustre came from the tomb.
Sow the bird that sat in the heart of the
tree,
Beheld this celestial mystery,
And its heart was filled with a sweet de
light,
And it poured a song on the throbbing
night;
Notes climbing notes, ’till higher, higher,
They shot to heaven like spears of tire.
When the glittering white-robed angel
heard
The sorrowing song of the grieving bird,
And beird the following chant of ruirtb,
That hailed Christ risen again on earth.
He said “Sweet bird, be forever blest,
Taiyself, thy eggs, and thy moss wreathed
nest.”
And ever my child, sinco that blessed
night.
When Death bowed down to the Lord of
Light,
The eggs of that sweet bird change their
hne,
And burn with rod, and cold, and Mae—
Reminding mankind in their simple way
Of the holy marvel of Easter day.

a tree, and he came and dragged
me by th« arm and abused me be
fore tbem all. I have never suffer
ed sucb shame. Release me, oh
my father! I will not live with
him!” Here she aaain prostraied
herself at the Rajah’s feet. A dead
silence ensued, broken only by the
girl’s sobs. Tawngey looked as
though he wished the earth would
swallow him, but he said not a
word.
Suddenly® the Rajah spoke again
and gave orders. “0 you and
you,” naming two or three among
the spectators, “take away these
two wicked ones, who disobey the
holy law. Strip them ol all their
clothes, save one cloth ofily to the
woman, and shut tbem up together
in the great empty guesthouse. In
the morning I will hear them &g\in.
Enough 1 I have spoken.” So the
young couple were hustled off and
shut up in a bare, empty house,
with but one garment between
them. The night was very cold,
and as I pulled my thick wadded
quilt over ray shoulders before go
ing to sleep, I admired the shrewd
wisdom of the Rajah. In the morn
ing when their clothes were handed
Into them and the door was opened
to conduct tbem before the chief
they quietly slipped away band in
hand, aud departed peaceably to
their own abode.”

I was sitting with tbe Rajah,says
Coi. Lewin, in his book on India,
on the raised platform in front of
bis house, drinking tea In tho oooi
ot the evening. Suddenly our
peaceful, silent smoking was dis
turbed by a young und very pretty
girl with (loners in her hair and
silver ornaments on neck and arms,
wbo rushed up the ladder and threw
herself at the Kajab’e feet in a pas
sion of tears. After her ascended
slowly, one by one, a number of
villagers in their long, homespun
mantles, who quietly sat down on
the platform to tbe right and led
ol the chief. The Rajah smoked
on silently, until the woman’s sobs
had grown somewhat less violent,
when lie remarked quietly. “Weep
ing is good lor women.”
A few more pulls of fragrant to
bacco, and, ns tho sobbing still con
tinued, he added with great sol
emnity, “Three conditions are to
he avoided; iirst, not to bo ablo to
weep; second, to weep without
knowing for why; third, to weep
too much.” The Inst condition
•'as pronounced with impressive
distinctness, and an assenting mur
mur went around the assembly.
The girl raised her bend, “My
father, I cannot live with Tawngey!
* hate him!” “What has he done?
Has he beaten you?” “No, he has
bot beaten ine;~tbat I should not

batches me, and I will not endure
>t. I demand to be divorced! Oh!
father be it on your head!”
“Tawngey, come forward, thou
f on of foolishness! What is this I
hvnv?”
Tawngey appeared, slinking
shamefacedly Irom the depths of
the crowd. First making a lowly
obeisance he sat down before the
ohiel. “My lord,” laid Tawngey.

Everybody who has visited Flore
da knowns there is as much differ
ence between the sweet cultivated
orange and the bitter, sour orange
that grows on all sides as there is
between the wild crab-apple that
grows in our woods and the mellow
June apple that blushes in the sum
mer sun. Mr. Peck did not know
it. He thought an orange was an
orange tho world over. He tackled
a Jacksonville street orange ana
writes thus to Peck’s Sun on the
subject:
“Tbe oranges didn’t look right
to me. I couldn’t see how they
could grow right there in the street,
right within reach of every little
nigger coon in town, without being
stolen. In the North tbe sourest
crabapple that ever broke a man’s
jaw or pnekered up a pretty mouth,
would not be safe for a moment a9
exposed as these oranges were, and
I could not believe that boys in the
South were more honest than boys
in the North. Then I got to think
ing, and made up my mind that
tbe oranges were tied on tbe trees
with pieces of wire to deceive
Northern people. I thought it was
a mean deception and I made up
my mind to expose it to tbe world.
1 asked a colored man if there' was
any objections to a man picking
an orange, and he said he reckoned
not, so I reached up and got hold
of one and picked it. I looked for
the wire or striDg, but it was actu
ally a growing orange, and I had
more faith in Florida than ever. I
shall always believe that the col
ored man smiled when he saw me
take out my knife to cut a piece
out of that orange. Anyway, he
turned his back when I started
the piece of orange toward my
mouth. Many ot tho readers
of the Sun will remember tny
mouth, us it was when I lived
at tho North. It was a pretty de
cent sort of a mouth to stub around
home with. A plain everyday sort
of a hole,with teeth and tongue and
lips, before I took that piece of
orange in. Ye gods! The orange
was as much sourer than vinegar
than vi legar is sourer than honey.
And bitter! Aloes and rhubarb
and quinine combined would have
been molasses beside that orange.
My lips began to curl up and draw
around my left ear, my teeth be
came loose and rattled around like
dice in a dice box, and my tongue
clove to the roor of my mouth.
One eye opened so wide that the
ey.e hall looked like the face of a
six shilling watch, and the other
closed spasmodically and winked
so a colored nurse girl got off u
bench and hauled the baby away,
while the baby cried as though a
nin was sticking in it, on account
of the expression on my face. I
reached around to my pocket for a
bankerebief to cover my face until
I could unscrew my mouth and get
it back in front «f me, and the
colored man thought I was going
to draw a pistol, and he started off
on a run. Well, if I had a picture
of my face when I took a mouth
ful of that orange, they could sell
them by the thousands in dime
museums, as tho wild man of
Borneo. And that is tint reason
oranges are safe growing on the
streets. They are too sour to eat,
and no boy will eteal anything he
cannot eat.”
