EASTERTIDE
Oh, rare as the splendor of lilies,
And sweet as tha violet's breath,
,Comes. the jubilant morning of Easter
A triumph of •life over death,
POT fresh from the earth's quickened
• bosom
Full baskets of flowers we bring,
And scatter their satin -soft petals
To carpet path for our King.
We have groped through the twilight
of Sorrow,
Have tasted the Marah of tears,
But lo! h bbe gray of the dawning
Breaks. the hope of our long silent
years.
And tbe loved and the lost we thought
perished,
Who vanished afar- in the night,
Will return ine the beauty •of spring-
tfine, • -
To beam on our rapturous slight,
In the countless. green blades of the
meadow,
The sheen of the daffodil's gold,
In the tremulous blue on the moun-
tains;
The opaline mist on the weld.
In the tinkle of brooks through the
pasture,
eeThe river's strong sweep to the sea,
ATe signs of the day that ID ih,asting
In gladness to you and to me.
So ,daseti in thy splendor of lilies,
Thy fluttering violet breath,
Oh, Jubilant morning of Easter,
Thou triumph of life over death!
For fresh from the 'earth's quickened
bosom,
Full baskets of flowers we bring,
And soatter their satin -soft petals,
To carpet a path for our King.
-Margaret E. Sangster.

"0 dear!" she thought. "He's run-
.,.....,•
• stay!"
After a while they came to a little;
wh!te .house at the end of the square,
and there Buddy turned in.
It was April Fool's Day,aid Budde
and Pen felt falorn. They had not
fooled anyone yet. They had tied an
einpty 'pocketbook to one end of a
string and left it .lying on the side-
walk while they Wei behind the fence
and held. the other end a the string,
but no one had picked up the pocket-
book, Everyone •seemed to know it
was a joke. They had tried a good
many ,other tricks, too, bot eo far not
a single person had they fooled.
"It is no better than the 1st of
March," said Buddy.
"Or tihe 1stof -September," said
Pen.
Buddy tipped his cap back and
scratched hie head the wey his father
did whenhe was thinking. They must
fool some one before the day was
over! '
When the two pla3rmates reached
Buddy's gate theyilealted up and down
the street hopefully. The only per-
son in sight, was old Mr. Perkins, who
was coming up the street with a big
b:-.eileet in one hand and a cane in the
other. Presently the •old gentleman
reached the spot where they stood.
He set Irks basket down.
"Pretty warin for April, isn't it,
children?" he said and pulled his
handkerchief out and wiped his face.
When he puffs handkerchief back
he soololenlye'Clapeed his hand on an-
other pocket.
"There!" he said. "I forgot all
aboi4 that money order. I shall have
to go way back to the post office and
attendto it."
He gave such a sigh that Pen and.
Buddy wished they could go back for
"Could you 'watch this basket while
I'ni gone?" asked Mr. Perkins. "It's
pretty heavy to ,earry back so far."
"Yes, sir, we will," the ehildren
promised, and they were glad that
there was something they could do.
Mr. Perkins thanked them and went
off; they ,could hear the dick of his
cane long .after he bad turned the
,corner.
"And still ••th e's nobody to fool!"
Buddy said with a sigh almost as deep
as Mr. Perkins's sigh had been.
"And now we can't evenleave to
lorAk for .anyhody," said Pen. "We've
got to ',stay 'raid wateh this basket."
Just than Buddy happened to catch
sight :of his expreos wagon over by
the .porch. "I know what we'll do!"
he cried. "Wel fool Mr. Perkins
himself !"
Pen looked thocked. "0 Buddy!"
She said reproachfully.
"You just wall; a minute!" Buddy
eeped,. He ran into, tihe yard and
drew the wagon 'out to the sidewalk.
Then he- lifted the basket, into it.
"Come lalong!" h said with a smile,
"You come light along with me!"
Pen ,did not know what to make of
her playmate, but she turned and fol,

When I know the earth is frost-botmd and the woods are sere;
Thougb even than I'm thinking O the sledding track -
But 171,', heart grows sick with longing when the crows come back.
I listen, listen, listen, as I walk the streets.
Oh, know the lark's note wen ,enough -it's rare and sweet ;-
And I love to hear the robin's, with their saucy clack -
But something grips my heartstrings when the crows come backs)
And twice good luck has found me as 1 walked the street;
Far overhead their wings went, with their steady beat.
"Unhalting and unresting," with a good ship's tack -
And I heard it like a whisper: "We've come back, come back I."

When the grass waves, and the -wind sings, and the sunlight
warms,
I am sick for you, I pine for you, and most I lack

gladness - beautiful because
bright. -Carlyle.
"Why, this is Mr. Perkins's house!"
Pen said:
Buddy rang the bell, and when the
old lady opened the door he handed
the basket to her.
• • "Mr. Perkins had to go back to the
post office," he expilained, "and so I
brought his basket home for him."
When the two children got back to
Buddy's gate there stood Mr. Perkins
!coking about him in surprise and
dis.a.ppointment.
"I can't find my basket, Buddy," he
Oil ment let anyone take it,
did you?"
"Somebody did take it!" said Pen,
laughing.
"April fool!" Buddy cried. "I took
it home for you myself!"
Mr. Perkins laughed, too. "That's
the best April fooling I ever had," he
said. Then he hobbled along home,
with his cane tapping on the walk.
•"Who says we haven't fooled any-
body?" said Buddy, turning suddenly
to Pen, -Irene S. Woodcock, in Youth's
Companion.

a joyous note in the vibrantbreeze, breeze,
In the softened winds of spring;
There's a vivid green in the grass and
trees,
Where the birds have coke to sing.
There's a fairer tinge to the azure
skies,
Whenee the breath of cold hath fled;
There's a sweet, glad hush as the win.

A requiem to the dead.
To life once more springs bud and

The urge to strive and grow;
And hope once more in love benign
