Aunt Este's Stories For Children For the deor little children of everywhere, Who love the Robin so brave and fair — With Ills black, black eye, and his red, red breast As he sits and sings 011 'lis little nest As soon as THE HA STICK TIDE IS 11 EKE — Is written this tale of Easter cheer. Dear little ones, there Is a beautiful legend translated from the Swedish, which tells how the Robin, (when the Lord created all things) was not given his red breast, but was told to earn it. For thousands of years he and his babies and his babies' babies, tried in every way to earn a red breast. First they tried to redden rliolr breasts with the glow of song, but that <llO tip good. Their breasts remained gray. Next they tried to redden their breasts With their courage—by righting until they should t'laiiie with the love of battle—but that did flo good—their br/asts remained gray! So they tried, until at last they gave up In despair. On the Friday before the first Faster when Christ was cruci fied, however, a little I'obin sat in sorrow 011 a hillock outside of Jerusalem, and watched the dear Christ suffering on the cross. At last his little breast swelled with pity as he saw cruel men place the crown of thorns upon His brow. Finally he. could star.d It no longer, and although he had never dared to venture near a human, he flew around and around the cross, and at last darted up and with his little beak pulled a thorn from the brew of the Christ. As he did so, the blood poured over his breast, and when he got home to his nest ho found he had earned for himself and all his kind the name of Robin Redbreast. So by a deed of kind ness he had accomplished what none of his ancestors for thous ands of years had been able to do through valor or song or any other thing. And now I want to tell you a little Faster story of the same bird, and the name of it shall be Why Kiibtn ItedhrcuKt jjinga nt llaHlrr Time Many, many years ago, a dear little Robin sat in his tiny nest and wept. Yet why he wept his babies could not understand. Wasn't his breast a gorgeous red? His breast that had remained gray for thousands of years, while robin after robin had tried to turn it red? Wasn't he the one who had done it? "Dear Daddy Redbreast," sobbed the little ones, "why do you weep? See the beautiful gift you have earned for us. You havo always been happy, even when you felt you could not havo your red breast, and we have loved you so much. Now you have what you have always sighed for. Why do you weep?"' Hut Robin Redbreast only bowed his head the lower, and sighed and sighed. "Why do you weep, my dear husbund?" asked his little wife. "I am so proud of your noble red breast. I am so proud it is mv sire who earned it? Why do you weep. Sing for us once again." But the tears only flowed the faster from the noble bird's eyes. So Robin sat in his nest for two whole nights and one whole S & Sb th' ,aSt the mornlns °' the n ext day dawned and it was the "Wlil you not be glad to-day?" asked his little gray wife. "Look, the sun 18 high in the heavens. The air is sweet with per fume, the brooks sing, and the sky smiles. Will you not be glad? You see dear Robin we love you so much, I and the babies, that it makes us weep to see you so sad. And why you have not told us." "Dear little gray wife," said Robin, as he leaned over the tiny nest and looked wltli pride at his babies and their mother. "I did MINISTER STRICKEN ; WHILE IT OIKR The Rev.

Hut, although the sky was clear and the sunbeams played and the brooks sang, Robin seemed heavy of heart, and somehow or other his little wings led him straight to the spot where he had seen the men carry the kind Christ, lie had thought to weep on 6 little last tear on the kind Christ s tomb. ~ . But when he readied it—Lo! the. stone was rolled away, and as his little black eyes peered into the depths of it. instead of death lie saw life! Instead of a man lying in death clothes lie saw a shining -.ne robed in whiteness. And without understanding why, the .burden dropped from his little red breast, and forth from his tiny throat poured a song—and such a song! A s«*ng of love and Joy and cheer and happiness. A song of victory and life. Even the angel stopped to listen, for it seemed as if the little blrcl's tones were those of heaven itself. "You do not need to tell me, shining one," he said, when he had finished, "after all, I was right, and the kind Christ, with the thorns on his brow, was a part of that Paradise from whence I sprung. After all He was a part of the wonderful God head. After all He is risen. Now I can ling." And back to Ills little nest home he flew, the song of joy still pouring from his tiny throat. Mamma Robin saw him coming, and chirped in glee. The tiny Baby Robins opened their mouths wide to greet him The whole little nest home radiated eheer. "Robin has brought back his happiness! Robin has brought back his song! Robin has brought back his cheer," sang Mamma Robin to the little ones. And ail the little young ones said, "chee, chee! ehee, chee! chee, choe!" "Rejoice with me, my loved ones," sang Papa Robin, "the dear Christ lias'risen! No longer is there sorrow in the tomb! For, from death has sprung life—just as out of my gray feathers have sprung red ones. And the secret of all is love, love, love! And from now on I want you. my babies, to start a custom, and 1 want you to teach It your babies, so that they in turn may teach It to thelr's. As long as the earth remains, you shall herald the glad Easter tide with your song. You shall sing In the bright flowers and the budding trees. You shall sing away darkness and death and dreariness. The Easter tide shall be the gala day of the Robin." And from that day to this, dear little ones, whenever Easter time is close at hand, the dear little robins from far and near gather over the dork tombs of dead trees, and all the gloom that winter has brought to pass, and sing as life comes forth, and flow, ers and buds and the love of Spring arises from the grave of winter. So little Robin Redbreast is one of the first to sing the Spring-time songs of welcome, and greet the happy Easter time. And ever and always his little red breast is one of the first signs of Spring.
