Whv, if a rainbow this morning had fallen •nd struck the galleries and stru k the plat form the s ene could not have been more radiant Oh, how bright and how beautiful .he flowers: how much they make me think „f Christ and His religion that bri htons everything it touches, brightens our life, brightens our character brightens society, brightens the church brightens everything. You who go with gloomv countenance, preten Img you ,rc better than I am, because of your lugub riousness, jou cannot cheat mo. You old hypocrite, I know you. Pretty case you are for a man who professes to be more than conqueror. It is not religion that makes you gloomy, it is the lack of it. There is just as much religion in a wedding as in a burial,just as much religion in a smile as in a tear. Thoe gloomy Christians we sometimes see are the people to whom 1 like to lend money, (or 1 never s?e them again! The women came to the Savior’s tomb and they dropped spices all around the tomb, and those spices were the seed that began to grow, and from them came all the flowers of this Easter morn. The two angels robed in white took hold of the stone at the Savior’s tomb, and they hurled it with su< h force down the hill that it crushed in the door of the world’s sepulchre, anti the stark and the dead must come forth. I care not how labyrinthine the mauso leum or how costly the sarcophagus, or how ever beautifully parterred the family grounds, wo want them all broken up by the Lord of the Resurrection. They- must come out. Fathers and mothers, they must come out: husbands an 1 wives, they must come out; brother and sister, they must come out : cur darling children,they must come out. The eyes that we close with such trembling fingers must open again in the radiance ot that morn. The arms we folded in dust must join ours in an embrace of reunion. The voice that was hushed in our dwelling must he returned. Oh, how long some of you seem to be w aiting—waiting for the resur rection—waiting. And for these broken hearts to-day I make a soft, cool bandage out of Easter flowers. Six years ago, the night before Easter, I received an Easter < ard on which there was a representation of that exqusite flower, the trumpet creeper, and under it the words: “The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise.” There was especial reason why at that time I should have that card sent me. and I present the same consolation to-day to all in this house—and who has escaped. My friends, this morning I find in the risen Christ a prophecy of our own resurrection, my text setting forth the idea that as Christ has risen so His people will rise. He the first sheaf of the resurrection harvest; He “the first fruits of them that slept.” Before I jet through this morning, 1 will walk through all the cemeteries of the dead, through all the country graveyards where your loved ones are buried, and 1 will pluck off these flowers, and I will ■lmp a sweet promise of the Gospel —a rose of hope, a l;ly of joy on every tomb—the child's tomb, the husband's tomb, the wife's tomb, the father's grave, the mother’s grave: and while we celebrate the resurrection of Christ we will at the same time celebrate the resur rection of all the good. “Christ, the first fruti of them that slept.” "If I should come to you tins morning and ask you for the names of the great conquerors of the world, you would say Alexander, Casar, Philip, >apoleon I. Ah. my friends, you have forgotten to mention the name of a greater conqueror than all these—a cruel, a ghastly conqueror. He rode on a black hone a less Waterloo and Atlanta and Chalons, the bloody hoofs crushing the hearts of nations. It is the conqueror Heath. He carries a black flag and ho takes no prisoners. He digs a trench across the hetnis; heres and fills it with th canatsesof nations. Fifty times would the world have been depopulated had not God kept making new generations. Fifty times the world Would have swung lifeless through the ait—ao man . n the mounta n. no man on th • aea. nn abandoned shir, plowing through ini mensity. Again and again has be don- this work with all generations. He is a monarch as well as a conqueror: his palace a sepulchre: tus fountains the tailing tears of a world.

Ido me know that it wll be very louu, but 1 know it will be very penetrating. In the mau-oleum where silence lias reigned a thousand years that voice must penetrate. In the coral cave of the deep that voice must penetrat*. Millions of spirits will come through the gates of eternity and they will cone to the earth, and they will* cry: “Give us back our bodies: we gave the n to you in corruption, surrender them now in incorrupt!ou.’ Hundredsof spirits hover ing about t ie crags of Gettysburg, for there the bo lies are buried.

I suppo-e that one moment before that general rising there will be a universal silence.save a> you hear the grinding of the wheel, or the clatter of the hoofs of a profession passing into the ceme tery. Silence iu all the caves of the eirth, Bileuce on the side of the mountain, silence down in the valleys aud far out into the sea. Silence! But in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, as the archangel's trumpet comes pealing, rolling, crashing across the mountain and sea, the earth will give one terrific shudder and the graves of the dead will heave like the waves of the sea. and Ostend and Sebastopol and ('halons will stalk forth in the lurid air, and the drowned will come up and wring out their wot locks above the billow: and all the ’and and all the sea become one moving mass of life—all faces, all ages, all con litions gazing in one direction and upon one throne, the throne of resurrection. “All who are in their graves shall come forth ” “But, ’ you say, “if this doctrine of the resurrection is true as prefigured by this Fa-it.-r morning. Chri-t. ‘the first fruits of them that slept? Christ rising, a promise and a prophecy of the rising of His people, cau you tell us something about the resurrected ixxlyf’ I can There are mysteries about that, but I shall tell you three or four things in regard to the resurrected body that are beyond guessing aud beyond mistake. In the first place, I remark in regard to your resurrected body; it will be a glorious body. The body we have now is a mere skeleton of what it would have been if siu had not marred aud defaced it. Take the most exquisite statue that was ever made by an artist, and chip it here and there with a chisel, and batter and bruise it here and there and then stand it out in the storms of a han dle 1 years and the beauty would be gone. Well, the human l>ody has been chipped and batterc 1 and bruised and damaged w ith the storms of a thousand years—the physit al de fects of other generations coming down from generation to generation, we inheriting the infelicities of past generations: but in the morning of the resurrection the body will be adorned and beautified, according to the original model. And there is no such differ ence between a gymnast and an emaciated wretch in a lazaretto, as there will be a dif ference between our bodies as they are now and our resurrected forms. There you will see the perfect eye after the waters of death have washed out the stains of b ars and study. There you will see the jierfect hand after the knots of toil have been untied from the knuckles. There you will see the form erect and elastic after the bur dens have gone off the shoulder—the very life of God in the body. In this world the most impressive thing, the most expressive thing, is the human face; but that face is veiled with the griefs of a thousand years; but in the resurrection morn that veil will be taken away from the face, and the noonday sun is dull and dim and stupid compared with the outflaming glories of the countenances of the saved. When those faces of the righteous, those resurrected faces turn toward the gate, or look up toward the throne, it will be like the dawning of a new morning on the bosom of everlasting day! O glorious resurrected body! | But I remark also in regard to that body which you are to get in the resurrection, it w’ill lie an immortal bo<iy. These bodies are wasting away. Somebody has said a< soon as we begin to live w r e begin to die. Unless we keep putting the fuel into the furnace the fire dies out. The blood-vessels are ca nals taking the breadstuff's to all parts of the system. We must be reconstructed hour by hour, day by day. Sickness and death are all the time trying to get their pry under the tenement to push us off the embank ment of the grave: but, blessed be Gol, in the resurrection we will get a holy immortal. No malaria in the air. no cough, no neuralgic twinge,* no rheu matic pang, no fluttering of the heart, no shortness of breath, no ambulan ?e, no dis | pensary, no hospital, no invalid’s chair, no ' spectacles tj improve the dim vision; but health, immortal health. O ye who have aches and pains indescribable this morning! , Oye who are never well! O ye who are lacerated w ith physical distresses! let me tdl you of the resurrect*? I body, free from all disease. Immortal! Immortal! ! Igo farther, and say in regard to that l>ody which you are to get in the resurrec tion, it will be a powerful body. We walk now* eight or ten miles aud we are fatigue 1: we lift a few hundred pounds and we are exhausted; unarmed, we me it a wild beast and we must run or fly or climb or d >dge, we are incompe.eat to meet it; we , toil eight or t n hours vigorously and then i we are weary: but in the resurrection we are to have a body that never gets tired. Is it not a glorious thought? Plenty of occupation in heaven. I suppose Broadway, New York, in th ? busiest season of the y< ar at noonday, is not so busy as heav en is aft the time. Grand proje *ts of mer *y for other worlds. Victories to be celebrated. The downfall of despotisms on earth to be an nounced. Great songs to be learne 1 and sung. Great expeditions on whi .h God shall send forth His children. Plenty to do, but no fatigue. If you are seaUsd under th ? trees of life it will not be ti rest, but to talk o /or with some old comrade of old times the battles where you fought shoulder to shoulder. Jacob arid the augel wrestled together. Ja ob was not thrown because the angel favored him. But once get your resurrected body and the angel could not wrestle you down. It is impossible to wrestle down the giants of God on high. Strong, supple, unexhausted, mighty, immortal. Oh, is it not a glorious thousrnt- 3 Sometime; in this world we feel w’e should like to have su<-h aboiy M that. Th»-i <• Is so much w’ork to lx? done for Christ, there are so i many tears to be w’iixjd away, there are so many burdens to lift, there is so mm h to be achieved for Christ, we sometimes wish that from the first of January to the last o' De * cember we could toil on without stopping to sleep, or to take any recreation, or to rest, or even to take f<x_>d—’that we could toil right on without .stopping a moment in our work <»f commending Christ and heaven to all the . j eople. But we all get tired. It is a characteristic of th<* human body in I this (ondition. We must get tired. Is it not a gl rious thought that after a w hile in the 1 hervi e of Go 1 we are going U) have a b'xly . that will never get weary f () glorious re ur rection day! Gladly will I fling aside this ]»oor l.crly of sin and fling it into the tomb, if at thy bidding 1 shall have a body that never wearies. That was a splendid resurrection : hymn that was sung at my father’s bur.al: ••«o Jesus -lept, God s dying son Passed through the grave aud blessed the i l>ed. I Best here, blest saint, till from His throne Tne morning breaks to pierc ' the shade.” Oh, blessed resurrection! Sneak out,sweet flowers, beajitiful flowers. While you tell of a risen Christ tell of the righteous who shall rise. May God fill yon this morning with anticipation! 1 heard of a father and son wbo, among ethers, were shipwrecked at sea. The fat her and the son climbed into the rigging. The father held on, but the son after a while lost his hold in the rigging and wosdashed dow n. [ ’Die l ather supj osed he had gone hopelessly under the wave. The next day the father j was brought ashore from the rigging in an exhausted state and laid in a l ed in a fisher- i man’s hut, and after many hours had passed he came to consciousness and saw’ lying I eside him on the same l>ed, his boy. (), my friends, j what a glorious thing it w ill be to wake up at last to find our loved ones beside us, com ing up from th? same plot in the same grave- ! yard, coming uirin the same morning lightr- j the father and son alive forever, all the loved ‘ ones alive forever, nevermore to weep,never- i more to part, nevermore to die. May the God of Peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant make you perfect in every go<xl work, to do His w ill; and let this brilliant scene of the morning transport our thoughts to the grander assemblage be fore tho throne. This august assemblage is nothing compared with it. The one hundred and forty and four thousand and the “great 1 multitude that no man can number,” some of our best friends among them. we. after a while to join the multitude. Blessed an ticipation. “Blest are the saints beloved of God Washed are their robes in Jesus’ blood, Brighter than angels, 10, they shine. Their wonders spleudid and sublime. “My soul anticipates the day, Would stretch her wings and soar away, 1 To aid the song, the palm to bear, K And bow, the chief of sinners, there.” Mr. Powderly’s Liqnor Views. Grand Master Workman T. F. Pow uerly in a recent address made to the general convention of Knights of Labor said: ‘‘The temperance question is an im- i portant one, and I sometimes think it is the main issue The large number of applications during the past year to grant dispensations to allow the initia j tion of rumsellers was alarming. I have j persistently refused them, and will en join my successor, if he values the future success of the order, to shut the doors 1 with triple bars against the admission of the liquor dealer. His path and that of the honest, ,' idustrious workman lie in opposite directions. The runisellcr who seeks almission into a labor society does so with the ob- ; ject that he may entice its members into [ his saloon after the meetings close. No question of interest to labor has ever been satisfactorily setllcd over a bar in a rum hole. No labor society over admitted a rumseller that did not die a drunkard’s death. No workman ever drank a glass of rum who did not rob his family of the price of it, and in so doing commit a dou ble crime, murder and theft. lie murders the intellect with which the Maker hath endowi d him. He steals from his family the means of subsistence he has canned for them. Turn to the annalsof every dead labor society, and you will see whole pages blurred and destroyed by the ac cursed footprints of rum. Scan the rec ords of a meeting at which a disturbance took place, and you will hear echoing through the hall the maudlin, fiendish grunt of the drunken brute who disturbed the harmony of the meeting. “In the whole English language I can find no word that strikes more terror to my soul than the one word, 'Rum.' It WaS’born in hell ere the fiat of ‘no re demption'’ had gone forth? Its life on earth has been one of ruin to the hopes of youth and the peace of old age. It ; has robbed childhood of its delights. It ' has stolen the laugh from the lips of ! innocence, the bloom from the cheeks of manhood. It lias touched the heart of old age like the tip of a poisoned arrow. Its , sound, as it gurgles from the neck of a bott'e, echoes through many a desolate household as tho hissing of a thousand serpents. You may deem me too radical on this point. Yet I never interfere with ! therightsof aman todrink if he so eleets. I hold I have a right to and do shun rum as I would an enraged tig r, neither meddling with it nor allowing it to meddle with me. So long as it keeps its distance I am content to leave it alone, but the moment it attempts to in terfere witli my rights by coming into the Knights of Labor, then my soul rises in arms against it, and I can find no words too bitter, no denunciation too scathing, to hurl against it.

( UPI’IXUS FOR THE CURIOUS. An electrical signal travels nt the rate t of 10,00(1 miles per second. The average American eats eight times as much sugar as the average Russian, who prefers lemon juice to milk ami mi i gar in his tea. is it true that, when washing their j faces, men always rub up and down and I snort, while women apply the water and then stroke gently downward? The American family is falling off in j numbers, in 18.50 it contained .5.50 per -1 sons; in 1800, .5.28; in 1870, .5.08, and |in 1880, only .5.04, At present the nv | erage may be taken to be barely .5. I The farrago in ancient Rome was a piir- J ticular kind of green crop, consisting of | barley, tares and leguminous plants sown together broadcast and cut while green, as fodder for cattle during the end of winter and beginning of spring, whence the term was metaphorically used to sig nify a confused jumble of things. Plate-glass was discovered in an a< ci i dental way in 1088, by a man named Thevart. It is attributed to tiie break ing of a vessel containing melted glass, a portion of which found its way under a large Hag stone, which, when subsequent ly removed, was found to cover a piste of glass. This suggested the i<lea of easting glass in plntes. At tile beginning of every session ot Congress a new pine top ha.-, to be placed on the speaker's desk.

The Japanese House. The first sight, of 11 Japiinrse house is j disappointing; it is unsubstantial in np •ptuirimee, and there is a meagerness oi color. Being unpainted, it. suggests pov and this absence of paint, with tin gray and often rain-stained color of the boards, leads one to compare it with sim ilar unpainted buildings at home and these are usually barns and sheds in the country, and the houses of the poorer people in the city. With one’s eye ac customed to the bright contrasts of American houses, ’with their white, or light, painted surfaces; rectangular win dows, black from the shadows within, with glints of light reflected from the glass; front door with its pretentious steps and portico: warm red chimney sur mounting all, and a general trimness of appearance outside, which is by no means always correlated with like conditions within— one is too apt at the outset to form a low estimate, of a Japanese house. An American finds it difficult indeed to consider such a structure as a dwelling, when so many features arc absent that go to make up a dwelling at home no doors or windows such as lie had been familial with; no attic or cellar; no chimneys and ■within no fireplace, and of course n< cus tomary mantel; no permanently inclosed rooms; and, as for furniture, no beds or tables, chairs or similar articles—at least, so it appears at first sight. • One of the chief points of difference in a Japanese house, as compared w ith ours, lies in the treatment of partitions and outside walls. In our houses these arc solid and permanent, and, when the frame is built, the partitions form part of the framework. In the Japanese house, I on the contrary, there are two or more sides that have no |>emianent walls. Within, also, there are but few partitions which have similar stability; in their stead are slight sliding-screens, which 1 run in appropriate grooves in the floor and overhead. These grooves mark the ■ limit of each room. The s< mens may be opened by sliding them back, or they may be entirely removed, thus throwing a number of rooms into one great apart ment. In the same way the whole side of a house may be flung open to sunlight and air. For communication between the rooms, therefore, swinging-doors are not necessary. As a substitute for win dows, the outside screens, or are covered with white paper, allowing the light to be diffused through the house. Pu/inlar Hrienn yfimthly. To Keep Boots Pliable. A mixture of mutton tallow and wood rbmk oil is excellent for keeping boots pliable and excluding water. If the boots have become thoroughly water soakisl fill them overnight with dry oats, which will absorb much of the moisture from the inside and at the same time swell so as to keep the boot in shape and prevent it shrinking.
