Tho Cultivation of Jute. Experiments made in South Carolina and Mississippi, and, perhaps in other Southern States have demonstrated tho adaptedness of our soil and climate to its successful cultiva tion. Its cultivation would diversify our ag ricultural industries, and add a valuable pro duct to our manufactures anil commerce, as it would be an article for export as well as for domestic manufacture. T.a.e authorities esti mate its value to India to be $100,000,000 an- nually. We think this over states the fact; but be that as it may as an ar .icle of export from India, it is ranked ouly by cotton and rice. Its introduction and general cultivation in this country need not necessary interfere with the cultivation of cottoa. So it could not hurt us in that direction. It would add an other valuable staple to our productions, and, possibly, when the season was unfavorable to cotton, save planters from ruin. It wou d add another product to our money crops, and from any point of view, bo of incalculable benefit and profit. A few months ago we noticed that 'he Greenville (Miss.) Jute Company has notified President Morehead of the National Planters’ Association that they would shortly be pre pared to demonstrate tho success of a ma chine they had invented and claimed a $5,000 reward which has been offered by lion. George West, of New York, for the first jute or jute butts from and prepared for market in any part of tho United Slates, that would compete in price with tho same produced in India. Tho result escape! our notice. But the noti fication suggests the lack of some machinery needed to prepare it for market, the same as the gin for the preparation of cottony and it suggests a'sa that Northern capital and Southern labor perceives something valuable in it to add to our wealth-creating produc tions, and to our manufactures and com merce. Manure from a Cow. Every cow well fed and fairly bedded will make a load of manure every two weeks, worth at least on the farm $1 per load. But this ma nure will not be .worth this unless the cow has abundance of nourishing food. On a farm at least half the expense of keeping a cow may be charged to the manure heap, and with this help it must be a poor cow that does not give a profit to her owner. Extra Large Horses. In cities where smooth pavements make it easy to draw large loads, the use of single heavy horses is superceding that of the doable team. The single horse costs less originally and is less expensive to keep than a team. This advantage creates a demand for heavy horses which will insure a profit in breeding them. They are a much surer pale when three or four years old than a lighter class of horses however well bred. Cood Water for Cows. Consideiiog the fact that a large part of even the best milk is wa er, and that drank by the caw, the necessity for giving cows in milk on ly tho brst water will be belter understood. So far from the caw absorbing any offensive substance so as to leave the milk pure, the very reverse is the case. The female giving milk is usually healthy, for the reason that whatever importunities exist it. the system are carried off in this secretion. As soon as a cow is in any way out of condition her milk is unfit to be used. Selling Cows in Spring. Cows usually sell well at this season, and if a farmer has more than lie can keep in good feed all the Summer, it is much better to dis pose of one or more of the poorest, and give extra feed and care to tho remainder. But it should always be the poorest cow that is sold. In most places where the best of feed is plen tiful, the sale of the poorest cow will increase rather than diminish the profits. Tho Age to Retire Cows. A cow is in her prime at seven to eight years of age, and for a year or two before or after this time there is little difference. If she is only medium as a milk or butter producer, she should be turned off at eleven or twelve years old, though of course extra valuable cows from pood milking strains should be bred as often and as long as possible. The calf of a superior cow eighteen years old even may more than pay the expense of grindini cutting her feed if that is necessary. Sweat Po'atoes as Stock Feed. By most Northern people the sweet potatoe is eaten only sparingly, and as it has to be bought, often at a high price it is regarded as a rather expensive luxury. But it is very ea sily grown, and with equal care and culture will outyield the common potatoe, especially on poor ground. Its rampant vines choke down weeds, making li.tie culture necessary. In some of the Southern States the sweet po tato is planted for stock feed for pigs, which, when the crop is ripe, are turned in and do their own harvesting. Tho sweet they contain is very fattening, but it does not make very solid pork. The vines of sweet potatoes are greedily eaten by cows, and have none of the poisonous qualities of our potato, which is of a family containing many poisonous plants. Soil for Crape Vines. When grape growing was in its infancy very erroneous ideas prevailed as to the necessity for peculiar kind of soil for griw'ng grapes. These ideas were largely borrowed from Eu rope, where on German and French vine-clad hills grape vines have flourished aud nine has been made for centuries. Connoisseurs claim ed to detect differences in the same variety of grapes ns to the quality of wine made from it when grown on different soils. This sort of talk was always chiefly the fanciful nonsense of men who had taken just enough wine to mako them feel very wise. Tho truth is that any well-drained soil, rich enough to grow good corn, will produce good grapes. Lanl which used to be thought best has its chief and (terhaps only advantage in the fact that it is always well drained. Mulberry Wine. The Florida Dispatch says that never before in Florida was there such an immense crop of mulberries. They are now ripe and ought to be made use of. They can be uesd to great advantage. It has been demonstrated the mulberry can lie made quite profitable with a small outlay of capital, and with but little la bor, by converting them into wine. The fol lowing 1^hii excellent receipt f.ir the samsp Extract mfTjjice from the berries and strain thoroughly. To every gallon of juice add one gallon of water, and to each gal on of the mixture add two and a half pounds of loaf sugar; fill a cask to the hunghole, and as the fermentation throws off tho '‘tilings,” refill with water and keep it full. After fermenta tion has ceased, say in fivo or six weeks, close the bunghole ami let it stand for about six months; then place in bottles, cork and 6eal them well. (Stnxs of thought. What we call our despair is often onlv the painful eagerness of unfed hope.—George Eliot. The thirst of desire is never filled nor fully satisfied.—Cicero. A man’s natnre runs either to herbs or weeds; therefore let him seasonably water the one and destroy the other.—Bacon. The primal duties shine aloft like stars; the ofc&ritiea that soothe aud heal aud bless are scattered at the feet of man like flowers.— Wordsworth. There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.—Lamartine. He who is false to present duty breaks a thread In the loom, aud will find the flaw when he may have forgotten its cause.—Beecher. Revenge is a debt, in the paying of which tho greatest knave is honest and sincere, aud, so far as he is able, punctual.—Cotton. Of all the riches that we Imp, of all the pleasures we enjoy, we can carry no more out of thie worid than out of a dream.—Bunnell. Modern poets mix much water with their ink.—Goethe. The path of genios is not less obstructed with disappointment than that of ambition.— Voltaire. The crutch of Time accomplishes more than the club of Hercules.—Balthaser Gracian. It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his helper is omnipoten'.— Jeremy Taylor. Liberty is the right to do what the laws al low; and if a citizen could do what they forbid it would be no longer liberty, because others- would have the same powers.—Montesquieu. A tender hearted and compassionate dispo sition, which inclines men to pity and feel the misfortunes of others, and which is even for its own sake incapable ol involving any man in ruin end misery, is of all tempers of mind tho most amiable; and, though it seldom re ceives much honor, is worthy of the highest. —Fielding. Talent, lying in the understanding, is often inherited; genius, being the action of reason or imagination, rarely or never.—Coleridge. Anger ventilated often hurries towards for giveness; anger concealed often hardens into revenge.—Buliocr Lylton. Agitation is the marshalling of the con science of a nation to mouid its laws.—Sir 11. Peel. All experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abol ishing the forms to which they are accus tomed —Jefferson. (E/urxous and Planting Trees in Manure. Enthusiastic bfgimers in this business need cautioning against mixing manure with the soil on which they are to be planted. The common idea is to make the trees grow vigor ously; but manure in contact with roots torn or broken transplanting may rot them before they ear, start the new fibres which alone can take up plant food. I’.ick the clean soil firmly around the roots; leave it lo >se on top, and as soon as it becomes hot an! dry, apply manure to the s irface around the tree, and this mainly as a mulch tho first season. Why Pork Is tho Popular Meat. Despite some prejudice as we!! as some valid objections against pork as an article of diet, it continnes to De more largely used than any other kind of meat. There are several reasons for this. It has less waste, bone and offal than anv other animal food. It is easily kept and fattened, even by tnose who have little room, and when salted it can be kept with less liability of spoiling than most other meats. This last point is seldom thought of, but has as much to do with the popularity of pork as any other of itg advantages. History of the Potatoe. In 1535 the potato was first brought into Germany. The first seed potatoes in Saxony were a present in 1501 from tire Landgrave of Ilesse to the Elector of Saxony. In 1047 they were grown as exotics in gardens at Leipzig. Swedish soldiers brought them into Western Germany about the conclusion of the Thirty Years’ \Var. In 1717 they were reintroduced into Saxony from Brabant, aud within twenty- five years they began to bo regularly cultiva ted, their use being much developed in the famine period of 1770-71. In the year 133! over 0,000,000 acres were given up to the cul tivation of potatoes in Germany, the produce amounting to 25,000,000 tons. Indian Corn and Phylloxera. Some German vino growers claim to have discovered that Indian corn planted among or near grape vines will prevent the attacks of phylloxera. The discovery was made by acci dent, from noticing the fact that vines near where some Indian corn was growing were un affected by phylloxera, while the remainder of the vineyard was badly diseased. The phyllox era prefers the com, but the vigorous growth of the latter prevents it from any serious dam age to it. This may explain the fact that though phylloxera is an American pest, it has never done so much damage here, where Indi an corn is generally grown, as it has done in Europe. Wherever apprehensions of phyllox era are felt it will be well to plant com largely in and around vineyards to counteract the pest, or a’, least to test the soundnaaa of the theory. Tomato Culture. The following hints about tomato culture thrown out by J. 3. Walderman, of Florida, may be productive of good. .Many people think they know all about cultivating touia toes but all of thptn do not succeed in raising a fine grade of tomatoes. Those arc the hints: Fertilize well. Water abundantly. Plant three feet apart each way. But the chief item for the raising of large j fine fruit is the proper p: uning of the vines. | Many old gardeners of the fossil spicies will 1 smile sarcastically at this suggestion. It is, nevertheless, the proper thing to do. As so >n as your vines have commenced to put on fruit cut off the extremities; tiiis will prevent the substance from going into more vines and will he expended in producing a superior fruit. Tree Planting by Old Men. In New England the old men all plant apple trees an! pear trees, and, in fact, all sorts of fruit trees, and have been doing so ever since the original crop of Puritan settlers. Some how the old man in New England never varies in this respect, lie is sure to begin to plant and nurse fruit trees as early as the first grandchild appears, and as he totters on down to the grave he continues to p’ant apple trees. llis last autumn in life, sitting om-of doors on sunshiny days, is g addoned by the sight of ripening fruit, and his delight it Is to babble of the trees, lie knows when this one was planted and when that one was grafted; when a wheel broke this one down, and when that one alarmed him by seeming to be winter killed. And as he finishes his story and the fruit he is eating, he will give the core to his little grandson and tell him to run plant it by tlie horse-trough, in tho fence-corner. The most touchingly beautiful thing in the life of the New England old man is his utter self-for getfulness as he plants trees for generations to gather fruit from long after his aged head is resting under the sod and his bones have min gled wi h the phosphates of the upper mould. Tlo forgets hitnselt as no young man can and lives in his descending kin, laughing with his grandchildren and planting applo trees for them. Mixed Farming. A contributor to the Rural New Yorker writes on this subject as follows: “I am an advocate of mixed farming. I believe it bet ter for a farmer to depend on several crops for his money than one alone; for, how often does some particular crop become a complete fail ure? Then where are the funds coming from to meet store bills, pay taxon, the minister and printer? Some years there is so much of one product raised that it is very low; and if you happen to depend wholly on that crop, where are you? ‘‘Now, if you practice mixed husbandry it is entirely different; for you are almost cer tain of sorno crop for a good selling price. Hence you can be of surer footing than if you raised simply one kind of .crop, especially if your capital is limited, for then you cannot afford to wait until another crop can grow. Accordingly I believe it always the best plan, for the young farmer especially, to grow a va riety of crops. The most independent farmer is the one who has more than one crop to de pend on. The farm is the place where all the different varieties of food can be raised; and it seems to me the object of the farmer should be to grow all of such kinds of food :is he will need to consume in his family and for his stock. Or, in other words, let nothing be bought that can grow on & farm at a fair cost. “U we can raise wheat at eighty cents per bushel, can we afford to buy it at $1.25? Or, if we can raise onr pork at $5 per hundred, can we afford to buy it at eight cents per pound? Let a farmer who practiced mixed husbandry for a term of years, turn his atten tion to and labor wholly upon one crop, and if he does not deny himself some of bis cus tomary luxuries I shall be very much mis taken.” In Biitish experiments last year, copperas proved a valuable fertilizer for many crops. Of the 48,000 votes cast, in the recent elec tion in Washington Territory, 15,000 were cast by women. Au extremely useful cement for experiment al use is made from equal quantities of gutta percha and white pine pitch incite i together. The compound should be without lumps. It improves by rcmelting, aud softens at about the temperature of boiling water. The census of 1880 reported tho capital in vested in agriculture in Massachusetts was $104,000,000, agai-st $22,000 OOl) in the manu facture of boots and shoes, $20,000,000 in the manufacture of woollen goods and $72,000,000 in the manufacture of cotton goods. Several cases of physical and mental wreck are reported as the result of using the new anesthetic, cocaine, in excess. Confirmed in- sa 'ty lias b'en produced by less than two ears’ indulgence, and the motal nature, as in .. e case of the opium habit, is very speedily undermin'd Blankets manufactured by the Navajo Indi an women of Arizona aro sought as curiosities by tourists. The squaws card the wool, spin the y arn and weave the blankets with the aid of sharp-pointed sticks. It requires, according to the size of the blanket, fiem thirty days to four months’ time to make one. Hence, they are very valuable. So skillfully and firmly are the blankets made that they will shed water for twenty-four hours before they will leak. According to recent experiments, the vitali ty of the teeth seems to be almost as great as that of seeds. Dr. W. J. Younger, in a recent paper read before tho California Cental So ciety, describes the planting of a bicuspid tooth, which had been extracted a year before. No care liad been taken of the tooth, it hav ing been carried about for a time in a travel ing bag, aud part of the time shuineA aoout in bureau drawer. To all appearances the tootli was dry and void of vitality. On soak ing it in warm water for half an hour, how ever, and then placing it in the cavity of the jaw, tlie tooth soon became firmly fixed, and on the twelfth day was firmly united, a true vital connection having, it is said, been estab lished between the living environment of gum and the alveolar substanco. But it may be a case of encysting, as of a bullet lodged in the body. Gold is shipped across the ocean in ‘‘specie kegs,” made of extra hard wood with an extra iron hoop, each bag containing $5,000. In the interests of security, each keg is treated to what is technically known among tho shippers as tiie “red taping” process. At each end of the keg, in the projecting rim of the staves above the head are bored four holes, at equi distant intervals. A piece of red tape is run through these holes, crossing on the head of tlie keg, and tlie enls finally meeting in the centre. At the point of meeting the tape is sealed to tlie keg’s head by wax bearing the stamp of the shipper. A Florida company engaged in the manu facture of perfumery, has built a factory at Jacksonville, and next Spring will start a 200 acre flower plantation. They now have one plantation at San Mateo, and are putting seven acres at Jacksonville in flowers. They have 6,000,000 flowering tuberose bulbs, and a good many hundred thousand rose geraniums, in addition to which they buy ail the roses, yel low jasmines, orange blossoms, etc., that they can secure. This is an industry that ought to prove profitable, it is another illustration of tlie diversification of tlie industrial interests of the South, aud of the many openings for the manufacture of small things that the South offers. TALMAGE’S SERMON. 1 reaeded in the Brookyn nacle. Taber- Jitsto vital. The laws of Massachusetts were first col lected, codified aud printed in lti 13. The public records in England began to be regularly preserved in 1100, by order of Hon- ry I. The first copyright bill passed by Congress in the interest of American authors became a law in 1700. What is now Annapolis, Md., was originally named Ann Arundel Town. The present name dates from 1005. The invention of pumps is ascribed to Da- nans, at Linden, 1435, but they were in use in England fifty years before. Mirrors in ancient times were but burnished metals. Mirrors or looking-glasses were made in Venice, A. I). 1300, aud in England, 1073. The nickname, John Bull, given to English men, is said to have been derived from Dr. Arbuthaot's satire, “John Bull,” published in 1712. Needles originally came from Spain. The method of making them was introduced into England by a German named Cowes, during the reign of Elizabeth. The micrometer, an astronomical instru ment used to measure minor distances and ob jects in tlie heavens, was invented by William Gasgoigne, who was killed at the battle of Marston Moor, July 2, 1044. The establishment of county courts in Amer ica dates back to 1022, when they were evicted in Virginia, the number of settlements and distance between tlie same making it conve nient to transact all the business of that colo ny at Jamestown. The last life-satrifleo in the Rr volution was that of Capt. Wilmot, who was drawn into an ambuscade by the British near Charleston, S. O., in September, 1782, and killed. Captain Wilmot at the time of his death was accom panied by Kosciusko. In 1845, John W. Starr, of Cincinnati, filed a caveat in the United States Patent Office for a divisible electric light Starr went to Eng land, where hip experiments were highly suc cessful, but death overtook the inventor im mediately after and nothing was done with bis Invention. The last survivor of Washington's life guard was Sergeant Uzel Knapp, who died in the town of New Windsor, Orange Co., N. Y., Jan., 11, 1857, at the age of ninety-seven. He was a native of Stamford, Ct., and aerved in the Continental army from the beginning of the war to its close. Bhooklvs, April 10.—To-day being Easter Sunday the tabernacle was profusely decor ated with flowers. The pulpit, the pillars and the galleries, were one great garden of bloom. Professor Browne, the organist, and Professor All, the cornetist, rendered selections from Handel, Haydn and Beethoven, appropriate to the day celebrated. The subject of Dr. Talmagc’g discourse was, “The Overthrow of the Monster,” and his text, Isaiah Ch. 25. v. 8: “He will swallow up death in victory.” Dr. Talmage said: About eighteen hundred and fifty-three Easter mornings have wakened the earth. In France for three centuries the almanacs made tlie year begin at Easter, until Charles IX. made the year begin January 1st. In the Tower of London there is a royal payroll of Edward I., on which there is an entry of eighteen pence for four hundred colored and pictured Easter eggs, with which the people sported. In Russia, slaves were fed ar,d alms distributed on Easter. Ecclesiastical councils met at Poutus, at Gaul, at Romo, at Achaia to decide the particular day, and after a contro versy, more animated than gracious, decided it, ai d now all throu »h Christendom in some way the first Sunday after the full moon which happens upon or next after March 21st, is filled with Easter rejoicing. The royal court of the Sabbaths is made up of fifty-two. Fifty-one aro princes in the royal household, hut Easter is queen. She wears richer d adem, and swajs a more jew eled sceptre, and in her smile nations aro irra diated. Unusually welcome this year because of tiie harsh winter and the la'-o spring, she seems to step out of the snowbank rather than the conservatory, come out of the north in stead of tlie south, out of the arctic rather than the tropics, dismounting from the icy equinox; but wi Icome this queenly day, hold ing high up in her right hand tho wrenched- off bolt of Christ’s sepulchre, and holding high up in her left hand the key to all the cemete ries in Christendom. It is an exciting thing to sec an army routed and flying. They run each other down. They scatter everything valuable in the track. Un- wheeled artillery. Hoof of horse on breast of wounded and dying man. You have read of the French falling back from Sedan, or Napo leon’s track of ninety thousand corpses in the snowbanks of Russia, or of tho retreat of our own armies from Manassas, or of the five kings tumbling over tho rocks of Bethoran with their armies, while tho hailstorms of heaven and the swords of Joshua’s host struck them with their fury. In my text is a worse discomfiture. It seems that a black giant pro posed to conquer the ejrtk. He gathered for Ilia host all the aches and paius and malaries and cancers and distempers and epidemics of tlie ages. Ho marched them down, drilling them in the northeast wind and amid the slush of tempests. He threw up baricades of grave- mound. lie pitched tern, of charnel house. Some of the troops marched with slow tread commanded by consumptions, some in double- quick, comuianoed by pneumonias. Some he took by long buf.iegement of evil habit, and some by one s'/cke of tlie battle-axe of casu alty. With blay hand he pounded at the door of hospit^B-fmd sick rooms, aud won all the victories itilvll the great battle-fields of all the five continents. Forward march, the con queror of all conquerors, all the general and cominander-in-^iigf, and all presidents and kings am. JUiuWf aild czalrs drop under the feet of liis’war phargt r. But one Christmas night bis antapinist was born. As most of tho plagues aitl sicknesses and despotisms come out of thd e»st, it was appropriate that the new conqtv ror should come out of the same quarter, l'ower is given Him to awaken all the fallen of all tlie centuries and of all the centuries aud of all lands, and marshaled them against the black f iant. Fields have already been won, but the last day of the world's existence will see the decisive battle. When Christ shall lead forth His two brigades —the brigade of tlie risen dead and the brig ade of the celestial host—the black giant will fall back, and the brigade from the risen sep ulchres will take him from beneath, and the brigade of descending immortal i will take him from above, and death shall be swallowed up in victory. The old braggart that threatened the con quest and demolition of the planet, has lost his throne, has lost his sceptre, has lost his palace, lias lost r is prestige, and the one word written over all the gates of mausoleum and catacomb, and necropolis, on cenotaph and sarcophagus, on Ihe lonely khan of the Artie explorer, and on tlie catafalque of great ca thedral, written in capitals of azalea and calls lily, written in musical cadence, written in doxology of great assemblages, written on the sculptured door of the family vault, is "victo ry.” Coronal word, etnbannered word, apo calyptic word, chief word of tlie triumphal arch under which conquerors re .urn. Victory! Word shouted at Ctilloden and Balaklava and Blenheim, at Megiddo and Sol- ferino, at Marathon, where the Athenians drove back the Jledes; at l’oictiers, where Charles Martel broke tlie ranks of the Sara cens; at Nalarnis. when Tliemistocles, in the great sea light, confounded the Persians, and at the door of the Eastern cavern of chiselled rock, where Christ came out through a recess and thro'tied the king of terrors, an I put hi u back in the niche from which tho celestial conqueror had just emerged. Alia! when the jaws of the eastern mausoleum took down the black giant “death was swallowed up in vic tory.” I proclaim the abolition of death. The old antagonist is driven back into my thology with all ihe lore about Stygian ferry, an 1 Charon with oar an! boat. Melrose ab bey and Kenilworth castle are ro more in ru ins than is the sepulchre. Wc shall have no more to do with ieath than we have with the cloak-room at a governor’s or president’s levee. We stop at such cloak room and leave in charge of a servant our overcoat, our over shoes, our outward apparel, that we may not be impeded in this brilliant round of the draw ing-room. Well, my friends, when we go out of this world we are going to a King’s banquet, and to a reception of monarchR, and at the door of the tomb we leave the cloak of flesh and the wrappings with which we meet the storms of this world. At the close of au earthly reception, under the brush and broom of the porter the coat or hat may bo handed to us better than when we resigned it, aud the cioak of humanity wilt finally be returned to us improved and brightened and purified and glorified. You and I do r.ot want our bodies returned as they are now. We want to get rid of all their weaknesses and all their susceptibilities to fatigue and all their slowness to locomotion. They will he put through a chemistry of soil and heat and cold and changing seasons out of which God will reconstruct them as much bet ter than they are now, as the body of the rosi est and healthiest child that bounds over the lawn at Prospect park is better than tho sick est patient in Bellevue hospital. But as to our soul, we will cross right over, not waiting for obsequies, independent of obituary, into a state in every way better, with w ider room and velocities beyond computation; the dullest of us into companionship with the very best spirits in their very best mood, in the very parlor of the universe, the four walls bur nished and panelled and pictured and glorified with all the splendors that the infinite God in all the ages has been able to invent. Victory! This view of course makes it of but little importance, whether we are cremated or sepultnred. If the latter is dust to dust, the former is a^hes to ashes. If any prefer inciner ation let them have it without caricature. The world may become so crowded that cre mation may be universally adopted by law as well as by general consent Many of the mightiest and best spirits hare gone through this process. Thousands and tens of thou sands of God’s children have been cremated— P. P. Bliss and wife, the evangelistic singers, cremated by accident at Ashtabula bridge; John Rodgers, cremated by persecution; Lat imer and Ridley, cremated at Oxford; Poth- inus and Blandina, a slave, and Alexander, a physician, and their comrades cremated at the order of Marcos Aurelius—at least a hun dred thousand of Christ's disciples cremated —and there can be no doubt abont the res- nrection of their bodies. If the world lasts as much longer as it has already been built, there perhaps may be no room for the large acreage set apart for the resting-places, but that time has not come. Plenty of room yet, and the race need not pass that bridge of fire until it comes to it. The most of ns prefer the old way. Bat whether oat of ratural dis integration or cremation, we shall get that luminous, buoyant, gladsome, transcendent, magnificent, inexplicable structure called the resurrection body, you will have it, I will have it. I say to yon to-day as Panl said to Agrip- pa: “Why should it be thought a thing in credible with you, that Gcd should raise the dead?” The far up cloud higher than the hawk flies, higher than the eagle flies, wbat is it made of? Drops of watt r from the Hud son, other drops from the East river, other drops from a stagnant pool out on Newark flats—up yonder there, embodied iB a cloud and i he sun kindles it. If God can make sech a lustrous cloud out of water drops, many of them soiled and impure and fetched from miled away, can He not transport the frag ments of a human body from the earth and ontof them build a radiant body? Cannot God, who owns all the material oat of which bones and muscles and flesh are made, set them up again if they have fallen? If a man ufacturer of telescopes drop a telescope on the floor and it breaks, can he not mend it again so you can see through it? And if God drops the human eye into dust, the eye which he originally fashioned, can He not restore it? Aye, if the manufacturer of the telescope by a change of the glass and a change of focus can make a better glass than that which was origi nally constructed, and actually improve it, do you not think the fashioner of the human eye may improve its sight and multiply the natural eye by the thousandfold additional forces of the re-mrection eye? “Why should it be thought with you an in credible thing that God should raise the dead?” Things all arou d us suggest it. Out of what grew all these flowers? Out of the mo Id and the earth. Resurrected I Resurrected! The radiant butterfly, where did it come from? The loathsome caterpillar. That albatross that smiles the tempest with its wing, where did it come from? A senseless shell. Near Borgaric, France, in a Celtic tomb under a block were found flowt r seed that had been buried two thousand years. Tiie explorer took tho flower seed and planted it, and it came up; it bloomed in bluebell and heliotrope. Two thousand years ago buried, yet re surrected. A traveler says ho found in nmmtny pit in Egypt garden pets that had been buried there three thousand years ago. He brought them out and on the 4tli of June 1341, he planted them, anti in thirty days they sprang up. Buried three thousand years, yet resurrected. “Why should it be thought a thing incredib'o with you that God should raise the dead?” Where did all this silk co no from—the silk that adorns yonr persons ami jour homes? in the hollow of a staff a Greek missionary brought from China to Europe tho progenitors of those worms that now supply the silk mar kets of many nations The pageantry of ban nered host and the luxurious articles of com mercial emporium blazing out from the silk worms. And who shall bo surprised if out of this insiguigeant earthly body, this insignifi cant earthly life, our bodies unfold into some thing worthy of the coming eternities? I'm silver into diluted nitre and it dissolves. Is the silver gone forever? No. I’ut in some pieces of copper and the silver reappears. If ono force dissolves another force organizes. “Why should it he thought a thing incredi ble with you that God should raise the dead?’ The insects flew and the worm crawled last autumn feebler and feeb er, and then stopped. They have taken no food, they want none. They lay dormant and insensible, tut soon the south wind will blow the resurrection trumpet, and the air and earth will be full of them. l)o you not think that God can do as much for our bodies as he does for the wasps and the spiders and the snails? This morn ing at half past four there was a resurrection. Out of the night, the day. In a few weeks tin-re will be a resurrection in all onr gardens. Why not some day a resurriction amid all the graves? Ever and anon there aro instances of men and women entranced. A trance is death followed by resurrection after a few days—total suspension of mental power and voluntary aciion. Rev. William i’eunent, a great evangelist of the J>£t genera tion, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander, a mail far from being sentimental, wrote in most eulogistic terms. Rev. William Tennsnt seemed to die. His spirit departed. People came in day after day and said: “He is dead; he is dead.” But the soul that fled returned, and William Tennent lived to write out the expetience of what he had seen while bis soul was gone. It may be found some time that what is called suspended animation, or coma tose state, is brief death—giving the soul an excursion into tlie next world from which it comes back; a furlough of a few hours granted irom the conflict of life to which it must re turn. Do not this waking up of men from trance, and this waking up of insects from winter lifelessness, aud this waking up of grains buried three thousand years ago, make it easier for you to believe that your body and mind after the vacation of the grave shall rouse and rally, though there be three thou sand years between our last brs nth and the sounding of the arehangelic reveille? Physi ologists tell us that while the most of our bod ies are built with such wonderful economy ti.at we can spare nothing, and the loss of a linger is a hinderment, and the injury of a toe joint makes us lama; still that we have two or three useless physical apparati, and no anatomist or physiologist has evtr been able to tell what they are good for. They are no doubt the foundation of tlie resurrection b. dy, worth nothing to us in this state, to be indis pensably valuable iu the next state. The Jewish rabbins had only a hint of this sugges tion when they said that in the human frame there was a small bone which they said was to be the basis of the resurrection body. Per haps that may have been a delusion. But this thing is certain—tlie Christian scientists of our day have found out that there are two or three superfluities of body that are something gloriously suggestive of another state. I called at my friend’s house one summer day. 1 found the yard all piled up with the rubbish of carpenter and mason's work. 'J he door was off. The plumber’s had torn up the floor. The rooi was being lifted ill cupola. All the pictures were gone, and the paper- liangers were doing their work. All the mod ern improvements were being introduced into that dwelling. There was not a room in the house fit to live in at that time; although a month before, when I visited that house, ev erything was so beautiful I could not have suggested an improvement, My friend had gone with his family to the holy land, expect ing to come back at the end of six months, when the building was to bo done. And (), what was his joy when—at tlie end of six months—he returned and tlie old house was enlarged and improved and glorified I That is your body. It looks well now, all the rooms filled with health, and we could hardly make a suggestion. But after awhile your soul will go to the Holy Laud, aud whilo you are gone the old house of your tabernucle will be en tirely reconstructed from cellar to attic, and every nerve, muscle and bone and tissue and artery must be hauled over, and the old struc ture will be burnished and adorned and raised and cupoloed and enlarged, and all the im provements of Heaven introduced, aud you will move into it on resurrection day. “For we know that if our earthly house of tiiis tab ernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house no; made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.” O, what a day when body and soul meet again ! They are very fond of each other. Did your body ever have pain and your soul not pity it? Or your body have a joy and your soul not re-echo it? Or, chang ing the question, did your soul ever have any trouble aud your body not sympathize with it, growing wan and weak under the depressing influence? Or d d your soul ever have a glad ness but your body celebrated it with kindled eye and cheek and elastic step? Surely God never intended two such good friends to be very long separated. And so when the world’s last Easter morning shall come the soul will descend, crying, “Where is my body?” and the body will ascend, saying, “Where is my soul?” and the Lord of the resurrection will bring them together, and it will be a perfect soul in a perfect body, introduced by a perfect Christ into a perfect heaven. Victory? Do yon wonder that to-day we swathe this house with garlands? Do yon wonder we celebrate it with the most consecrated voice of song that we can invite, and with the deftest fingers on organ and cornet and with doxologies that beat these arches with the billows of sound as the sea smites the basalt at Giant’s Cause way? Only the bad disapprove of the resur rection. JAMBS KOBTOIT, Manager. J. J. CBTJSMA2T, Proprietor. JO INTEND PURCHASINC THIS SPRING, Kiowert, S'lnibbery.

A cruel heathen warrior heard Mr. Moffat, the missionary, preach abont the resurrection .and lie said to the missionary: “Will my father rise at the last day?’’ “Yes," said tlie missionary. “Will all tlie dead in battle rise?" said the cruel chieftain. “Yes," said the mis sionary. “Then," said the warrior, “let me hear no more about the resurrection day. There can be no resurrection, there shall be no resurrection. I have slain thousands in battle. Will they rise?” Ah, there will be more to rise on that clay than these want to see whofce crimes have never been repented of. Hut for all others who allowed Christ to be their pardon and their life and their resurrec tion it wdi be a day of victory. The thunders of the last day will be the salvo that greets you into harbor. The light nings will be only the torches of triumphal procession marching down to escort you home.

What have we to do with death? As your re united body and soul swing olf from this plac et on that last, day you will see d^epgashes a l up and down the hi:ls, deep gashes ali through tlie valleys, and they will bo the emptied graves, they will bo the abandoned sepulchres, with rough ground tossed on either side of them, and siab3 will 1 e uneven on the rent I hillocks, and there will bo fallen monuments | ami cenotaphs, and then for the first time you WAHMflgton 9 40 p# xue-se will appreciate the full exhilaration of the I t^roiiKb Pullman Sleeping text, “He will swallow up death in victory." j Was'-ington and Little K ck ai “Hail the Lord of earth and teaven!
