And so, rather crestfallen, Mr, Cas seiley went about his business. "Come, my dear," said Mr. Causer ley, tidtfeting about the room as if he were nhod with nettles, "aren't you 'jiiost ready?" There was to be an Faster straw bony an 1 icn cicum festival in the ftuuday aeliool room oi the churou that evening, and Mr. Cnsserley, be ing interested in the nfl':.ir. particu larly wished to b early.

"Go on, my dear," said she, from tho upstairs region, "aud I will come nftc-r, with johnny, when I am dressed.'' "Very well," said Mr. Cassi-rley. and away be went. The little Sunday-school room was tastefully decorated with Units, ever greens and flowers, and cheerfully lighted up; tho straw berries w ere ripe, the ice cream delicately ihivored nnd tho pretty girls who wailed be hind the tables exceedingly ulad to welcome a customer.

And the pair of them came home, fifteen or twenty minutes afterward, with a full-sized bandbox. From that Jay to this Mrs. C'asser ley has never had occasion to mention more than once any trifling deficiency in her wardrobe. The Ledger. EASTER EGGS. The practice of giving Faster egjM is now- general throughout the t ivilized world, it traces back to an antiquity very reinotip and its origin U lost m mysticism. In Italy it was formerly Iho custom of college i.tudents, Iho youth of the city and Iho young attendant ol the churches to niPet in the public square at the stroke of the church hell, armed with lances and sticks and carrying flags upon which were painted bur lesque images. They then inarched in procession to the door of the prin cipal church aud collected tho Faster eggs distributed by tho city. During Lent- tho Italians refrain from eating eggs as well as meat and it is therefore the custom to takegreat baskets of eggs to tho churches to bo blessed, sprinkled with holy water and the sign of tho cross made over them. These consecrated eggs are then placed in the center of the table in great heaps nnd mounds, surrounded by meat and ether things forbidden in Lent and guests are invited to come and help cat. tho paschal dishes. In times when there is a superabundance those given away at the convents arc colored rod, as symbolical of the hUmd of Christ which was i.hed when lh was crucified. Upon the eggs the nuns trace with a needle religious emblems and mottoes. -- In France, during tho reigns nf Louis XIV. and Louis XV., on Faster rare, 1 1 l incept Icifiotm.ifjfdce.; i day after mass baskets of gilded egg were taken into the cabinet of the King, w ho distributed them among lii'i courtiers. In general the Faster eggs wero simply colored with various tints, tho most common being yellow, violet and red. But the wealthy and aristo crat in did not long remain contented with these simple tints, and begain to have their reciprocal Fastor offerings beautifully embellished. Fxpert artists wero engaged to adorn them with designs suitable to the age and condition of theperfrous for whom they were destined. It seems almost incredible I hat great artists would engage in anything so frivolous as painting beautiful designs upon a fragile eggshell. Yet such has proved to be the case. In tho collec tion of curiosities in the library of the castle of Versailles there nre two Faster eggs that belonged to Mme. Victoria, daughter of Louis XV. The paintings on them represent a maiden attacked by highwaymen. She is rescued by a gay cavalier aud reconducted to her parents. Her Knitter ISonnet.

Women who cut their hair and men who shave their beard and wash their head on Good Friday w ill bo exempt from toothache nnd headache. Hut. such operation ou nny other Friday will augment their sufferings. Anciently it was a custom with tho kings of England on Good Friday to hallow, with great ceremony, ceitaiii rings, the wearing of which wa-. be lieved to prevent sickness. In ninny parts of England a smill loaf of bread is baked on the morning i of Good Friday, and then put by until Ihe same anniversary in the eiisuin-.; I year. This bread is not to be cab c, I but to be used as a medicine, and I'm I mode of administering it is by grating ' a small portion of it into water a'i ' i forming a sort of panada. It is be i lieved to be good for many duo; del s. In Full-Ion and al'. over England the morning of Good Friday i-. ushered in with a iini-. i i: al cry of "hot crosi 1 1 ii ii m.

It seems more than probable that the cross upon the Good Friday bun is intended to remind tbe devout of the Savioiu's suffering. Tho practice of eating rig-sue- is prevalent in north Lancashire on Good Friday. It is a mixture con sisting of ale, sliced tigs, bread and nutmeg for seasoning, boiled together, and eaten hot like soup. If an unlucky fellow is eaughl in Lancashire on Good Friday making love, ho is followed home by a band of musicians, playing on poker.;, tongs, panlids. etc.. unless he can get rid of his tormentors by giving them money to drink with.

If it is pleasant hundreds and hundreds of them gather in the back yard of tho w hite house grounds and have a grand egg-rolling celebration. Every boy a:;d girl in the city, bint k or white, is welcome to come ou that Jay as tho guest of the President of tho United Stales. At the rear of the white house there is a sloping buck yard, covered with soft grass nnd trees. Early in tho morning the children begin lo come, every ono bearing hard-boiled eggs of nil colors. The child with the girat est supply is the king or queen of tho day. The players stand at the top of the hill, and one boy will match his eggs in a race with another to the bottom of the hill. The one that arrives there first without breaking is the winner. If the egg pops on the way down the victor may have the egg to eat. Of course, after a few egg race:! the play ers are lull of eggs up to their chins, hut there me still plenty of jolly lit tle negro boys who are iilnays hungry nnd w ho can eat an nu!iiiiit"d number of Ihe broken eggs. In this way hundreds if not thousands of eggs nro crushed and eaten every Easter Mon day in the President's back yard. Faster egg-rolliug is a German cus tom, and the natives of liavnria have indulged in it for centuries. Grown men and women play the game there. Two men will pit their eggs ngninst each other, and roll them so that they will collide The egg that breaks is eaten by the owner of the egg which s nlTers the least damage, and the sport keeps up until oue or tho other lo:ies all of his eggs. - Kintfi- ItnblilU. Faster rabbits have made their ap pearance in the shop windows in vari ous sizes aud in more or less simili tude to tho genuine article. In some places they seem to almost supplant the ancient and I iine-houored Faster egg in the affections of the people. 1 1, is apparent to most persons why tho egg should be typical of Easter, luit it is not so plain to many people w hy the hare is associated with Ihe festival Tho leasou is simple and is one of those old customs or observances that have beeu handed down through long ages from a pagan bcgiiiniug. The hare w as considered by tho ancients ns sacred to the moon. In the folklore of more than one Nation the markings on the moon are considered to be Hr'er Hnbbil, and the rabbit symbolism was considered proper to be used nt nuy festival regulated by the moon. Faster is a moon festival, and the rule which makes it fall upon the first Sunday af ter the first full moon occurring after March 21 was adopted over 1500 years ago by tho Council of Nice.
