Looking around the church this morning,
seeing flowers in wreaths, and flovversin stars,
and flowers in crosses, ami flowers in crowns,
billows of beauty, conflagrations of beauty,
I feel as if I stood in a small heaven. You
i say these flowers will fade. Yes, but per
haps we may see them again. They may be
immortal. The fragrance of the flower may
lie the spirit of the flower; the body of the
flower dying on earth, its spirit may appear
in better worlds. I do not say it will be so.
I say it may lie so. The ancestors of these
tuberoses, and eamclias, and japouicas, ami
! jtisamines, and heliotropes were born in Para
dise. These apostles of beauty came down
in tbe regular line of apostolic success on.
Their ancestors during the flood underground
afterward appeared. The world started with
Eden. It will end with Eden. Heaven is
called a Paradise of God. Paradise means
flowers. While theological geniuses in this
day are trying to blot out everythi g mate
rial from their idea of heaven, and, so far
as 1 can tell, their future state is to be float
ing around somewhere between the Great
Rear and the Dipper. 1 should not be sur
prised if at last I can pick up a daisy on the
everlasting hills and hear it say, "1 am one
of the glorified flowers of earth; don t you
remember me? I worshiped with you on
East r morning in the year 1880.’
My text introduces into a garden. It is a
manor in the suburiis of Jerusalem ow ued by
a wealthy gentleman by the name of Joseph.
He belonged to the court of seventy who had
condemned Christ, hut he had voted in the
negative, or, beingatimid man, had absented
himsdf when the vo'e was to lie taken. At
jnvat expend I10 laW the gaiden. It
being a hot climate, I suppose there were
trees broad-branched, and there were paths
winding under these trees, and here and
there were waters dripping down over the
j ocks into fish ponds, and there were vines
an 1 flowers blooming from the wall, and all
around the beauties of kiosk and arlior.cul-
eulture After the fatigues of the Jerusalem
1 onrt room how refreshing to come into this
suburban retreat, botanical and pome .logical!
Wandering in the garden, I liebold some
rocks which have on them the mjrks of the
.-ulptor’s chisel. I come nearer, and I find
,-'e i s a subterranean recess. 1 come down
the marble steps, and 1 come to a porta o
over which there is an architrave by the
chisel cut into representations of fruits and
flowers I enter the portico. On either side
tonre are rooms—two or four or six rooms of
rock, the walls of these rooms having niches,
e ich'niehe large enough to hold a dead body.
Here is one room that is especially wealthy
of sculpture. The fact is that Joseph real
izes be cannot always walk this garden, and
lie has provided this place for his last slum-
lwr Oh! what a beautiful spot in which lo
wait for the coming of the resurrection.
Mark well this tomb, for it is to be the most
celebrated tomb in all the ages. Catacombs

lust lieen murdered, and His body will he
thrown to the dogs ami the ravens, like other
crucified bodies, unless there be prompt and
efficient hindrance. Joseph, the owi.er of
this mausoleum in the rock, begs for the
body of Christ. He washes the poor, muti
lated frame from the dust and blood, shrouds
it and perfumes it. I think that regular em
balmment was omitted. When in olden time
a body was to lie embalmed, the priest, with
some pretei s on of medical skill, woul 1 point
out the place between the ribs where the in
cision must l>e made, ami then the operator,
having made the ine Sion. ran, l.sthe be slain

the emlttlmment. But I think this embalm
ment of tbe body of Christ was omitted. It
would have raised another contention and
another riot. The funeral hastens on. Pres
ent, I think, Joseph, the owner of the mau
soleum: Nicodemus. the wealthy man who
had brought the spices, ftnd the two Marys.

Heavy burden for two men as they carry

portico, they close the door of rock against

gates of the necropolis,
up to count the number of carriages at the
obsequies, or to notice the polish of the Aber

rations. Gentleman’s mausoleum in the su
burbs of Jerusalem cannot pay for Rethle-
li< m manger and Calvarean cross and Pilate’s
ruffian judiciary. Post mortem honors can
not atone for ante-mortem ignominies.
Again: Standing in the garden of the new
sepulchre, I am impressed with tbe fact that
floral and arlioresceiit decorations are appro
priate for the place of the dead. H e are
glad that among flowers and sepulchral
adornments Christ spent the short time of
his inhumation. I cannot understand what
1 sometimes see in the newspapers, where
the obsequies are announced and ihe friends
say in connection with it, “Send no flowers.”
Rather, if the means allow—I say if the
means allow—strew the casket with flowers,
the hearse with flowers, the grave with fl >w-
ers. Put them on the brow—it will suggest
coronation; in the hand—it will mean victo
ry. Christ was buried in a garden. Flowers
mean resurrection. Death is sad enough
anyhow. Let conservatory and arboretum
contribute to its alleviation. The harebell
will express the sympathy. The daffodil
will kindle its lamp, and illumine the dark
ness. The cluster of asters will lie the con
stellation. Your little child loved flowers
when she was living. Put them in her hand
now that she can go forth no more and pluck
them for herself. On sunshiny days take a
tresh garland and put it over the still heart.
Brooklyn has no grander glory than its
Greenwood, nor Boston than its Mount Au
burn, nor Philadelphia than its Laurel Hill,
nor Cincinnati than its Spring Grove, nor
San Francisco than its Ixine Mountain. But
what shall w-e say of those country grave
yards with the fences broken down, and the
slab aslant, and the mound caved in, and
the grave the pasture ground for the sexton’s
cattle? Indeed were your fnther and mother
of so little worth that you cannot ufford to
take care of their ashes? Some day, turn
out, all hands, and straighten the slab, and
bank up the mound, and cutaway the weeds,
and plant the sbrutis and flowers. Someday
you will want to lie down to your lari slurn-
ii.T. You cannot expect any respect for
your bones if you have no deference for the
bones of your ancestry. Do j 7 ou think these
relics are of no importance? You w ill see
of how much importance they are in theday
when the archangel takes out his trumpet.
Turn all your cemeteries into gardens.
Again: Standing in this garden of the new
sepulchre I am impressed with the dignity of
private and unpretending obsequies. Joseph
was mourner, sexton, liveryman, had ent re
charge of everything. Only four people at
the burial of the King of the Universe. Ohi
let this be consolatory to those who, through
lack of means or through lack of large ac
quaintance, have but little demonstration of
grief at the graves of their loved ones. Long
line of glittering equipage's, two rowsof silver
handles, casket of richest wood, pall lienrers
gloved and scarfed, are not necessary. If
there he six at the grave Christ looks down
from he iven and remembers that is two
more than were ut His obsequies. Not re
cognizing this fact, bow many small proper
ties are scattered, and widowhood and or
phanage go forth into cold charity! The de
parted left a small projierty, which would
have been enough to keep the family togeth
er until they could take care of themselves,
but the funeral expenses absorbed every
thing. That went for crape which ought to
have gone for bread. A man of moderate

then promised to get a doctor for me, but I

Again: Standing in this garden with a new
sepulchre, i am impressed with the fnyt that
you cannot keep the dead down. Seal of San
hedrim, regiment of soldiers from the tower
of Antonia, floor of rock, roof of rook, walls
of rock, doorjof rock cannot keep Christ in
the crypts. C'oine out and come up He must.
Come out and coine lip he did. I’reflgura-
tion! First fruits of them that slept. Just
as certainly do we come down into the dust,
just so certainly we will come up again.
Though all the granite of the mountains were
tbe recess. lur jfflerl on us, we will rise. Though buried
amid the corals of the deepest cavern of the
the disciples may steal the body of Christ
au-I piav resurrection, order the seal of the
Sanhedrim to lie put upon the door of the
tomb—the violation of that seal, like the
violation of the seal of the Government of
the United States or Great Britain, to be
followed with severe punishment. A com
pany of soldiers from tbe tower of Antonia
is detailed to stand guard. At the door of
that mausoleum a light takes place which de
cides the question for all graveyurds and
cemeteries. Sword of lightning against
sword of steel! Angel against ii i'itaiy! No
s a ai of letter was ever more easily broken
than fiat si a' of the S nth tdrim on the doer
of the tomb. The dead body in the niche in
the rock begins to move in its shroud of tine
linen, slides down upon the pavement, moves
out of the portico,appeal's in thejdoorway ad
vances into the open air. comes up the mar
ble steps. Having left His mortuary attire
liehind Him. He comes forth in workman's
garb, as I take it, from the fact that the wo
men mistook Him for the gardener. That
dav the grave received such shattering it
can never lie rebuilt All the trowels of
earthly masonry can never mend it. For
ever and forever it is a broken tomb. Death,
taking side with the military in that fight,
received a terrible cut from the angel's sabre
of flame, so that he himself shali go down
after awhile. The King of Terrors, retiring

Let earth and heaven keep Easter to-day.
Ho- Hina !
Some things strike my observation while
standing in this garden with a new sepulchre.
And first, post-mortem honors in contrast
with ante-mortem ignominies. It they could
have afforded Christ such a costly sepulchre,
why could not they liavegiven Him an earth
ly residence* Will they give this piece of
marble to a dead Christ instead of a soft pil
low for a living Jesus! If they had expended
half the value of that tomb to make Christ
comfortable it would not have been so sad a
story. He asked bread: they gave him a
stone. Christ, like most of the world’s liene-
factors. was appreciated better after He was
dead. Westminster Abbey and monumental
Greenwood are the world’s attempt to atone
by honors for tbe dead for wrongs to the liv
ing. Poet's Corner ill Westminster Abbey
attempts to pay for tbe sufferings of Grub
street. Go through that Poets’ Corner in
AVeritninster Abbey. There is Handel, the
great musician, from whose music we hear
to-dav: but while 1 look at his statue I cannot
help I nit think of the discords with which
his fellow mus'eians tried to destroy him.
There is the tomb of John Dryden, a beauti
ful monument: but I canuot help but think
at 70 years of age he wrote of his being op
pressed iu fortune, and of the contract that
lie had just made for a thousand verses at
sixpence a line. And there, too, you find the
monument of Samuel But ler, the author of
“Hudibras;"’ but while I loox at his monu
ment in Poets' Corner I cannot but ask my
self where Iip died. In a garret! There j
see the costly tablet in the Poet's Corner, the
costly tablet of one of whom the celebrated
AValler wrote, “The old blind schoolmaster,
John Milton, has just issued a tedious poem
on the fall of man. If the length of it lie not
a viituo.it has none.” There is a beautiful
monument to Sheridan. Poor Sheridan! If
lie could have only discounted that monu
ment for a mutton chop! Oh! you unfilial
children, give your parents less tombstone
and more blankets—less funeral and more
bedroom. If five per cent, of the money we
now sjiend on Burns' banquets could have
lieen expended in making tbe living Scotch
poet comfortable, he would not have been
Atlantic Ocean, we will come to the surface.
AVith these eyes we may not look into the
face of the noonday sun, but we shall have
stronger vision, because the tamest thing in
the land to which we go will lie brighter
than the sun. AVe shall have IkxIios with the
speed of lightning. Our bodies improved,
energized, swiftened, clarified. Mortality,
immortality; the door of the grave taken
off its binges and flung flat into the dust.
Oh! my brethren, death and the grave are
not so much ns they used to lie, for, while
wandering in this garden with the new sep
ulchre, I have completely covered up the
tomb. Instead of one garden, there are four
gardens opening into each other—garden of
Eden, garden of the world’s sepulchre, gar
den of the earth's regeneration, garden
of heaven. Four gardens. Bloom ! O
earth. Bllooin! O heaven. My hearers,
wake uj) to gladness on this Easter
morning. This day, if I interpret it
right, means joy; it means peace with
heaven, and it means peace with all the
world. Connected with this day of good will
to men, there is something outside the harbor
of New York which stirs my heart to the last
criu. son drop, and thrills me so I can hardly
speak when J thick of it. Behold the old war
frigate. Constellation, sent out by the United
States Government toward Ireiand, armed
with bread; flyo hundred tons of relief. Oh!
1 don't know whether you have looked at this
event as I have. Yesterday morning, in the
storm, 1 went up to the top of my house to
see if I could catch a glimjise of the masts of
the Constellation. AA’hat a sight for Easter
morning! That means that Christ Is risen*
Command that ship, O Christ of GenessareL
Thou w ho didst break the loves of bread to
the five thousand, break that bread to *lie
fifty thousand. Ob, Thou who holdest the
winds in thy fists, fill her sails with prosper
ing breezes. Would that the men might run
up beside the stars and stripes the one-starred
flag of Bethlehem and the blood-striped flag
of the cross. Wait a little longer, bear up a
little longer. Oh, dying men of Ireland! Oh,
starving women! Ob, emaciated lialies! the
Constellation is coming to stream light into
the darkness of your long night of suffering.
Once covered with the smoke of battle, now
covered with the benediction of Easter morn
ing. Oh! doesn't it seem as if tbe millennium
were opening? That ship constructed to bat
tle England going forth now over the water
to carry relief to some of herstarying subjects.
Better" than sword into ploughshare, better
than spear into pruning hook is that old war
frigate turned into a white-winged angel of
resurrection to roll away the stone from the
mouth of Ireland’s sepulchre. Come forth,
Lazarus, come forth!
Oh, bring more flowers—wealth of flowers
here to-day! Bring forth more flowers,
wreath them round the brazen throats of the
camion, plant them in the desert that it may
blossom like tbe rose, braid them into the
main of the returned war charger. No more
red dahlias of human blood. Give ns white
lillies of peace. All around the earth strew
Easter flowers. And soon the rough voyage
of the church militant will be ended, and she
will sail up the heavenly harbor scarred with
many a conflict, but the flag of triumph fly
ing from her topgallant. All heaven will
come out to greet her into |K>rt, and with
long, reverberating shout of welcome, will
say: “There she comes up the bay, the ship
Zion, tbe glorious old Constellation.” If it
were a week-day, and I were on that ship’s
deck, I would shout “Huzzah!” but as I am
on the deck of the gospel ship, and on the
Lord’s day, I will shout “Hosanna!”

WORSE THAN ANYTHING
I over knew or hoard of in slavery times.
“ Did you hear of, or see any of the Kan
sas emigrants?’’
“Yes, sir; about fifty of them came on
their way back aa I was in Illinois. They are
beggars, all banked up, and in a suffering
condition. Some of them have to go to the
soup-house to keep alive.”
“Well, what is your opinion of this exrwlus
movement? Is the colored race acting freely
in the matter ?”
“No, sir! It is a regular political move
ment, and the colored people are duped. I
overheard some of the white folks who h»ve
this in hand say that they wanted to get us
all out of the South if they could, and it is
for no other purpose than to carry the elv-
tion. They try and get tho poor negro in
debt, aud threaten to seize his things if he
says he wants to go back. I found out since
I left there that this man D.ck Taylor, tIio
was here some time ago trying to get tho -ol-
orod people out of Mobile, is a partner of
Gladden, and that they get ten dollars ’or
every colored person they can entice cun of
a Southern State.”
“ So you wiil remain here now!”

From a Bersian Letter. .
The capture of Turkoman women byp
Persian governoi's is one of the great cries
of Persian rule in the districts east othe
Caspian Sea. “An order,” says Majorut
ler, of the British army, “is sent to 01 or
more of the governors of those distric to
the effect that no presents have lieeior-
warded to the Shah by them of latejid
if they do not immediately dispatch subui-
tial gifts another governor will be fout to
replace them. The distracted governor.ho
has already robbed h's own |ieople nntiley
have nothing left to take, wistfully turhis
eyes and thoughts to his rich iieiglibontlie
T urkomans. Forthwith he organizes «ex-
pedition, and sends forth spies to a so*, j ,j
at what point are encamped the grest
number of Turkoman women and hies,
and the smallest number of iner. This ing
ascertained, he starts at the dead of iht,
accompanied by his murderous robbertnd
swoops down upon his unfortunate vims.
Those Turkomans who are able to fig or
likely to give any future trouble are th-
lessly murdered, uud the o'd men, theys,
wives, daughters and sisters are houndnd
and foot and brought back into PersiKer-
ritory. Then eoirmenees a scene disgnfuj
alike to humaniiy and morality. Tfcdd
women and infants are separated frotbe
young and beautiful—and many of thur-
koman women are very beautiful—try
point of the Utter is looked into arlis-
cossed by the men tolled off for this piise,
just as the iutended purchaser of a rse
trots out the animal to examine him. ose
