Then Easter will be hers,
The very Sunday after

Seamwell t o
send her into me, when I go there to
have a dress fitted, She ha suoh a
pretty way, don't you know, and uch
lovely eye lashes, and she understand
her business to perfeotion 1"
"She is a very beautiful girl," said
Mr. Elwood. calmly. "And eh has
helped me wonderfully with those
shy children, at the Sunday afternoon
service. They seem to take to her by
inetinot"
"Some people have a way with chil
dren," said Mrs. Plantagenet. "Now
I never could endure the idea of
teaohing until you oame to take oharge
cf our church, Dear Mr. Elwood;
then, of coarse, everything was dif
ferent"
Mr. Elwood smiled a little. It Miss
riantagenet had been less lovely and
d npled, sitting there, with a clue
ribboned pug in her lap, and the col
ored lights from the stained glass
window making a sort of aureole
around her faoe, he might have set
her down for a fool ; as it was, he men
tally characterized her as merely i
"tboughtle child."
Yes, Marien Plantagenet was cer
tainly very lovely. And the reduoed
family of Plantagenet were reckoning
largely on this innooent, infantine
beauty to build up their fortune
Mrs. Plantagenet, bstohet-faced
wulow of fifty, went around cutting
down the daily expenses, directing the
servant to make Irish stew, hashei,
and divers other mixtures, out of the
crap of cold meat, instead of be
stowing them on beggar, taking big
coals off the fire with a pair of tongs,
and peering into the ash can to make
cure that no solitary cinder had been
smuggled unsifted into it depth.
She studied the butcher's book, beat
down the baker' aooount and eoono
xnized in everything, "in order," a
the said, "to give Marien a good
chspoeto marry."
In the article of white satin shoes,
cut flowers and ball dresses, she was
compelled to loose her purse strings,
groan as she might
And when Mr. Elwood, the nephew
and adopted son of a wealthy old
baohelor, came to assume the oharge
of the nearest fashionable ohnroh,
Mrs. Plantagenet rejoiced greatly.
"It's all plain sailing now," she
thought. "For nobody oan deny that
Marien is a beauty."
"Mamma," Miss Marien had said,
"I must have a new dresa for Easter.
X did think my pearl silk would do,
but it is too tight, and I've worn it so
often."
"Nonsense I" said Widow Plantag
enet "Where in tbe world do you
appose it is to come from?"
"From tbe stores, to be sure I" said
Marien, with a sauoy toss of her head.
.'"And I've promised Mr. Elwood to
end a cross of lilies for the font I
xnnst be looking around for that"
"My goodness me 1" groaned Mrs.
Plsntagenet "Do you know, child,
what they are asking for white lilies
no w at the florists 7 Twentv-fi re cents
each. And they'll go up, of course,
as Easter approaches. They always
do."
"I couldn't manage with less than a
dozen," said Marien, immediately.
'For the centre piece, you know. I
- might arrange jonquil, and hyacinth,
nd white carnations, and those
cheaper spring flowers, around the
base, with plenty of climbing fern and
rose geranium leaves,' and violets if
violets aren't too dear."
"Well we must contrive some way,"
aid Mrs. Plantagenet wearily.
Would this everlasting warfare of
way and means never cease? Would
the time ever come when everybody
would be paid, and no army of clam
orous duns would longer besiege the
door?
Mr. Plantagenet hoped for thi
happy state of things, but it was vary
much as she hoped for the millennium

CUPID'S FBARK AT EASTER-TIDE.
Said Cupldi "Now, Til lay aside
My arrows and mv bowi
Toplay a prank this Easter-tlda
Upon the elves I know."
"Who'll pick with me to win or lose?"
In wheedling tones he begs;
Of all he met none sould refuse-.
And Cupid won their egg.
"Mamma, I tell you what!" said
Marien, starting from a reverie. "I
won't say a word to old Seamwell
about thi dress. Her prioes are so
exorbitant I I'll go directly to little
Eunice Perry."
"And who is Eunice Perry?" said
Mrs. Plantagenet, opening her faded
blue eyes.
"Don't you know? I'm sure I
must have mentioned her a thousand
times. That little sewing girl who fits
me so beautifully. Sha is Mrs. Seam
well's forewoman or something. I
dare say I can make a special bargain
with her to get me up a gown at some
what short of the regular price. Of
course the profits win an do ners.
Old Seamwell wouldn't like it if she
knew, but nobody is going to tell her.
I'll go there to-morrow, the very first
thing, before Eunice goes out ; after
wards I'll go to church. Mr. Ellwood
likes us to be devout."
"It's an excellent idea, my dear 1"
said Mrs. Plantagenet, who caught
eagerly at everything that involved
the saving of money.
Early as Marien Plantagenet rose
from her downy pillow the next morn-
ing. Eunice i'crry was earlier etui.
The morning services in the dimly
lighted church were very dear to her,
They seemed to shield and shelter her
from all the prioks and arrow of the
day, and up to this time sue had not
missed one.
She lighted the fire, put over the
coffee-pot for her old aunt' breakfast,
tidied up the room, and before she
went out, sprinkled a little water over
tbe magnificent calls lilies that were
unrolling their superb scrolls of white
velvet in the windows that fronted to
the east.
"There will be thirteen," said she,
to herself, her cheek flushing with
natural pride. "Thirteen! I didn't
think when I planted the roots in the
fall how splendidly they would grow
and thrive I Ob, yoa darlings, I could
kiss you, if I wasn't afraid of spoiling
the white purity of your hearts 1"
There is no aooounting for the freak
of the flower wold. These lilies had
blossomed royally out in the sunshine
of those low, little three-story windows'
when, perhaps, beneath the arohed
crystal roof of a steam-heated conser
vatory they would have put forth
nothing but leaves.
Did they know how Eunice loved
thorn? Did they feel the magnetio
current of her liquid hazel eye every
time that she looked at them? Who
oould answer? Not Eunice, oer tainly.
She had been gone some time, when
Mis Plantagenet leisurely ascended
the stairs, turning up her ariatooratio
nose at the various sight and sounds,
and smell wbioh are inseparable from
a tenement house. Only the old aunt
was in the room, moving leisurely
about a she put away the remain of
her frugal breakfast
Marien opened the door, and oame
in without the preliminary oeremony
of knocking. According to her plat
form, the poor had no feeling that it
was seccessary to cosult or regard.
'Is Mis Perry at home?" said she.
'Good gracious, what beautiful lilies I
Where did you buy them, my good
woman?"
Old Mrs. Perry smiled complacent-
it.
"We didn't buy them," said she.
'Eunice has grown them herself. My
niece, Miss 1" with a little courtesy.
"How muoh are they?" said Marien
greedily.
"Thoy are not for sale," said the old
aunt with rather a frightened air.
"Oh, but I must hare them 1" said
Marien, smilingly arrogart "They are
just precisely what I want Suoh a
perfect shape so unusually large I I
dare say she'd sell them all for seven
ty-flve eent ; for of oourse they can be
of no use to you here?" with a scorn,
ful glance around tM room. Did you
say she was out?"
"She has gone to church," said Mrs.
Perry, who instinctively approached
.4 m tv. 1 :i irr
waat to her, she will be at Mr, i
Seamwell' room at nine o'olook thi
morning."
In her own mind, Marien Planta
genet abandoned the idea of the dress
at once. She oould mcVe her vio
let suit do or else the despised pearl
oolored silk, perhaps. And, after all,
there was scarcely time for the proper
making up of an Easter costume ; and
Sharke & Seabnry were advertising
some very cheap ready-made suits
from Pari. But the lilies she must
have I
"We are very old friends, Miss
Perry and I," said Marien, turning
with a hard, polished smile to the old
woman. "And I'm quite sure that if
she knew I had taken a fanoy to her
lilies she would be glad to give them
to me. I am Miss Plantagenet, one of
Mrs. Seamwell' Lest customers, you
know, and a word from me would dis
miss any of her workmen. Here is a
dollar. Of course the flowers aren't
worth that, but I have a horror of any
meanness. And now if you'll get me
a pieoe of paper to wrap them in, I'll
cut the lilies at onoe,"
So, nolens volens, Miss Plantagenet
carried off poor Eunioe's whito-sonled
darling in a pieoe of tissue-paper,
leaving her crumbled dollar-bill on the
window-sill.
"A capital morning's work," said
Marien to herself.
On Saturday morning the exquisite
bunch of lilies arrived for the font,
with a card on which was soribbled
the prettiest of messages for the reo
tor.
He looked at them with admiration,
"i never saw lovelier lines in my
life," he said. And then, with a not
unnatural sequence of ideas, he added
to himself, "I wonder why Eunioe
Perry haa not sent the flower that
she promised?"
Eunioe oame into her prayer that
Easter Eve, pale and silent, with eye
lids just flushed, as if she had been se
cretly crying, but she brought no
flowers.
The reotor peroenred in an instant
that something was wrong.
She was stealing quietly away, when
he cams out . from the robing-room
door and intercepted her.
"Eunioe," said he, gently, separating
himself from the crowd of young girl
who came thither to help arrange the
chanoel, font and rail with leaf and
blossom for the morrow's joyful fes
tivity, "don't go. I want to speak to
you."
"About the flowers?" said Eunice,
lifting her soft shy eyes to his. "Oh,
Mr. Elwood, I am so sorry I But
they were taken away."
"Taken away?" he repeated, with
surprise.
'Yes," said Eunioe. "Mis Plan
tagenet oame to our house, while 1
was gone, and carried them away,
without leave or permission. She left
a dollar for them. No money would
have bought them of me, after watch
ing the earliest buds swell into
bloom."
"Miss Plantagenet" he repeated,
slowly, a if in thought "Are these
flowers yours, Eunioe V
He took the stately cross of calla-
lilie from the centre of the white
marble font
Eunice Perry clasped her hands.
I
bet, on Easter Eve. And, as he after
ward told her, he never knew how well
be loved her until he saw her orying
over those mute, magnificent Easter
lilies. ,4
As for Marien Plantagenet, she
gained her lilies, but she lost the man
she loved. The callas were not suoh
a bargain aftor all I For, if Marien
had ever cared for any one, it was for
Mr. Elwood. But be failed to per
oeive that her mistake was rooted in
her own selfishness. People never see
quite straight where their own follies
are concerned.
And Mrs. Plantagenet, poor soul, is

"I thought so," said Mr. Elwood,
drily. '"one sent them here this

sweetest lily that ever bloomed is not
worth your tears."
He walked home with hern part of
the way, and when they paused on the
street corner nearest her' home, he
took tbe little cold hand in his.
"Eunice," he said, "I wish I could
comfort you."
"Yon have comforted me," she ut

"If I oould make your life easier 1"
he exolaimed, earnestly. "Eunice, do

Meaning of tbe Easter Egg.
As Easter represents a new birth into
the best life of all, it is easily seen how
the pagan idea that the egg was the
beginning of all kinds of life should
beoome purified in the minds of the
Christians, and accepted as the typioal
offering of good wished and emblem
atic of pleasant hopes between believers
of the glad Easter day. The egg in
some form or other has been the un
questioned type of the new life from
the very dawn of the Christian era.
In Bussia as early as 1589 eggs ool-
ored red, typifying the blood of Christ
shod as an atonement for our sins,
were the most treasured of exohanges
of Easter. Every believer went abroad
at this season with his pookets well
supplied with Easter eggs, as the
society man of to-day attends to his
well filled card case. When two Bus
sians met for the first time during tbe
Easter holidays, if they had not met
on the day itself, the belated Easter
compliments were passed, first by
solemnly shaking hands in silence;
then tbe elder (or the younger, if he
outranked tbe elder) would say, "Tbe
Lord is risen," and his companion
would reply, "It is true ;" then they
kissed eaoh other and ceremoniously
drew from their respective pookets tbe
Easter emblem, and exchanged eggs.
The Syrians believed also that the
god from whom they claimed descent
were hatched from mysteriously laid
eggs. He nee we infer that oar present
oustom of offering the Easter egg em
blem has tbe heathen legends for its
origin ; in iact, all our most preoious
festivals come down from similar
souroes, but purified with the light of
Christianity. Chautauquiau.
The Moravian Way of Celebrating Easter
One of the most significant and pic
turesque celebrations of Easter is that
of the Moravian Christians, of whom
there are mauy congregations in the
United States. At Bethlehem, Penn
and other towns where Moravian.
abound some musioians with brass in
struments go at earliest dawn to tho
roof of the ohnroh and play mnsio
signifying the calling forth of the
dead. Tbe people immediately flock
to the chnroh and begin tho service of
the day, most of it being musical At
a given signal the entire congregation
rise, and, preceded by tbe ministers
and trumpeters, leave the chnroh and
mar oh to the oemetery.. In Moravian
cemeteries all the gravestones are
alike small, flat slabs laid upon the
graves, "for," say the simple, literal
people, "in the grave all men are
equal." The procedure of the serrioe
is so timed thtt the musioo-prayerful
rejoioing reaohe it highest expression
just a jho sun rises.
A Belgian Easter Tradition.
The offering of the Easter egg is
also an ancient .and popular tradition
of the Belgians. It is customary there
every Sunday for tbe young men. to
exohang ' boquets of flowers with
their fiancees, but at Easter time these
gifts are varied by egg colored and
having inscriptions on tkem similar to
tbe poetical line one find in cheap
holiday confectionery. Among the
wealthier classes in Belgium, as in
Pari, egg adorned with beautiful
miniatare portraits-were exchanged.
Flemish chronicles relate that under
the reign of Maria Christina Eater
egg to the value of twenty francs
were often distributed.
Thi expensive adorning of the
Easter egg has lost its popularity, and
to-day the eggs in general are simply
colored by boiling or staining. They
also are to be given and exchanged by
adults, but are colored for children's
amusement and pleasure.

Train No. 80 was manned by En
gineer Tnnstall, Fireman Donaldson
and Conductor Gentry. It left Char
lotte late, but had orders to wait
Harrisbursr till 11:15 for No. 11.
The train's make-up con sisted of en
sine, mail car. two express cars run
vegetables, baggage cor, second and
first-class coaches, and two sleepers.
The track for a mile or so approach
ing Horrisburg is perfectly straight,
except at one point where there is a
small curve and considerable cut.
The side-track at Harrieburg can be
plainly seen for more than a mile, ap
proaching from Charlotte. Captain
TunBtall, who was of oourse on the look
out for No 11. kept his eve on the die
tant siding, expecting every minute to
see No7. 1 1 run into it, but seeing that
tne iracK was clear ana no train ap

miles an hour, losing sight, by reason
of tbe topography of theoountry, of the

cord late. It was manned by Engineer
J. C. Kinney, Fireman Ed. Lee, and
Conductor J ames Lovell. It had slowed
up, preparatory to running into the sid

end of tbe switch when Io. 86 dashed
into the cut.
The two engineers faced each other
with faces bleached with the fear of I
horrible death. Engineer Tunstall an,
plied his brakes and jumped. It is not
known whether Engineer Kinney jump
ed or not.
Almost at the same instant that the
engines faced each other, the deadly
crash came, and was heard for miles
around.
The dead and injured were taken to

TIIE TRADE OUTLOOK.
Floods Have Kflected Business Serl
ously Cotton Advances.
Messrs. E. G. Dun & Co. 's weekly
review of trade for the past week is
follows: "Out of 4,000 failures with
liabilities of $00,753,501 in the first
quarter, 24 bank failures covered more
than a fifth of the amount, or $12,744,
850. and 8. 845 failures with liabilities
of $3.:, 047,892 of nearly three-fifths, are
classified this week according to
branches of business, leaving only 587
failures and less than a fifth of the lia
bilities, $12, 000,019, in branches of man
ufacture or trauo not specified. Only
two of tho 13 manufacturing classes and
only four of tbe 13 trading classes show
liabilities for the quarter larger than
last year, and only five manufacturing
and three trading show larger average
liabilities. For the month of March,
only three manufacturing and four
trading classes show larger amounts
than last year and ouly two manufactur
ing and five trading show a larger aver
age of liabilities; in almost every case
also it is shown that the increase is due
to one or two exceptionally large fail
ures in that class.
In spite of floods, which must have
materially affected the prospect, cotton
has only advanced 1-8 daring the week.
The fate of those who were absolutely
certain that the crop of 1806 was very
short has left but little confidence for
further speculation. Simulation in
wool has been checked by the possibili
ties that duties may take effect April
abroad have been countermanded, while
traders are less disposed to sell.
But trading between dealers makes up
more than half the i ales of 12,730,400
pounds for the week, and since sales in
six weeks at these markets of 70, 454. 600
pounds, it is not improbable that
many mills nave, as is claimed,
full years supply. The de
mand for men's goods has diminished,
the first round of purchases having
been completed by many buyers with
results fairly encouraging and the de
mand for dress goods, especially of the
lower grade has caused an advance of
5 per cent in some lines. The iron in
dustry is hampered by the contest be
tween Mesaba ore interests, which pre
vents as yet any settlement of ore
prices and leads many to expect further
decline in finished products. The Illi
nois steel works and the works of Oliver
k Co. and Byers k Co. at Pittsburg axe
stopped by labor difficulties and some
furnaces have stopped because the pro
duction of pig had outrun the demand
for finished products, and hevy stocka
