AN EASTER SERMON. Dr. Tahnage Discourses on the Basorreottoa Mom, The following Easter discourse ties delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talma ge in the Brooklyn Academy of Music, from the text: And tbe field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Marnre, the field and the cave which was therm, and all the trees that we»^ in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made man anto Abraham.—Gen. xxifi., II, IS; Here is the first cemetery ever laid out Machpelah was its name. It was an arborescent beauty, where the wound of death was bandaged with foliage. Abraham, a rich man not being able to bribe the King of Terrors, proposes here, as far as possible, to cover up liis ravages. He had no doubt previously noticed this region, and now that Sarah, his wife, had died—that remarkable person who, at ninety years of age, had born to her tbe son Isaac,- and who now, after she had reached one hundred and twenty-seven years, had expired—Abraham is negotiating for a family p.ot for her last slumber. Ephron owned this real estate, and after, in mock sympathy for Abraham, refusing to take any thing for it, now sticks on a big price—four hundred sheckles of stiver. This cemetery lot is paid far, and the transfer made, in the presence of witnesses in a public place, for there were no deeds and no halls of record in those early times. Then in a cavern of limestone rock Abraham put Sarah, aftd, a few years after, himself followed, and then Isaac and Rebekah, and then Jacob and Leah. Embowered, picturesque, and memorable Machpelah! That “God’s-acre” dedicated by Abraham lias been the mother of innumerable mort11 rv observances.

The necropolis of every civilized land has vied with its metropolis. The most beantifnl hills of Europe outside the great cities are covered with obelisk and funeral vase and arched gateways and columns, and parterres in honor of the inhumated. The Appian Way of Rome was bordered by sepulchral commemorations. For this purpose Pisa lias its arcade of marble sculptured into exquisite bass reliefs and the features of dear faces that have vanished. Genoa has its terraces cut into tomb3; and Constantinople covers with cypress the silent habitations, and Paris has its Pere-la-Chaise, on whose heights rest Balzac and David and Marshal Ney and Culver and La Place and Moliere, and a mighty group of warriors and poets and painters, and musicians. In all foreign nations utmost genius on all sides is expended in the work of interment. mummification and incineration. Our own country consents to be second to none in respect to the lifeless body. Every, city and town and neighborhood of any intelligence or virtue has, not many miles away, its sacred inclosure, where affection has engaged sculptor’s chisel and florist’s spade and artificer in metals. Our own city has shown its religion as veil as its art in the manner in which it holds the memory of those who have passed forever away by its Cypress Hills and its Evergreens and its Calvary and Holy Cross and Friends’ cemeteries. AU the world knows of our Greenwood, with now about two hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants sleeping among hills that overlook the sea, and by lakes embosomed in an Eden of flowers, our American Westminster Abbey, an Acropolis of mortuary architecture, a Pantheon of mighty ones ascended, 'elegies in stone, Iliads in marble, whole generations in peace waiting for other generations to join them. No dormitory of breathless sleepers in all the world has so many mighty dead. Among preachers' of the Gospel, Bethune and Thomas DeWitt, and Bishop Janes and Tyng, and Abeel the missionary, and Beecher and Buddington and McClintock and Inskip and Bangs and Chapin and Noah Schenck and Samuel Hans Cox. Among musicians, the renowned Gottsehulk, and the holy Thomas Hastings. Among philanthropists, Peter Cooper and Isaac T. Hopper and Lucretia Mott and Isabella Graham, and Henry Bergh, the apostle of mercy to the brute creation. Among the literati, the Careys, Alice and Phoebe, James K. Paulding, and John G. Saxe. Among journalists, Bennett and Raymond and Greeley. Among scientists, Ormsby Mitchell, warrior as well as astronomer, and lovingly called by his soldiers “Old Stars;’’ the Drapers, splendid men, as I well know, one of them my teacher, the other my classmate. Among inventors, Elias Howe, who, through the sewing machine, did more to alleviate the toils of womanhood than any man that ever lived, and Prof. Morse, who gave us magnetic telegraphy; the former doing his work with the needle, the latter with the thunderbolt. Among physicians and surgeons, Joseph C. Hutchinson. and Marion Sims, and Dr. Valentine Mott, with the following epitaph, which he ordered cut in honor of the Christian religion: “My implicit faith and hope is in, a merciful Redeemer, who is the resurrection and the life. Amen and amen.” This is our American Machpelah, as sacred to us as the Mschpelah in Canaan, of which Jacob uttered that pastoral poem in one verse: “There they buried Abraham, and Sarah bis wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there 1 buried Leah.” • i

ai ims wm service i asa ana answer what may seem a novel question, bat it will be found, before I get through, a practical and useful and tremendous question: What will Resurrection Day do for the cemeteries? First, I will remark, it will be their supernal beautification. At certain seasons it is customary in all lands to strew flowers over the mounds of the departed. It may have been suggested by the fact that Christ’s tomb was in a garden. And when I say garden I do not mean a garden of these latitudes. The late frost of spring, and the early frosts of autumn are so near to each other that there are only a few months of flowers in the'field. All the flowers we see to-day had to be petted and coaxed, and put under shelter or they would not have bloomed at alL They are the children of the conservatories. But at this season, and through the most of the year, the Holy Land is all ablush with floral opulence. You find all the royal family of flowers there, some that you supposed indigenous to the far North, and others indigenous to the far South —the daisy and hyacinth, crocus and anemone, tulip and water-lily, geranium and ranunculus, mignonette and sweet marjoram. In the ooliege at Beyrout you may see Dr. Post’s collection of about eighteen hundred kinds of Holy Land flowers; while among trees are the oak of frosen dimes and the tamarisk of the tropics, walnut and willow, ivy and hawthorn, ash and elder, pine and sycamore. If such floral and botanical beauties are the wild growths of the field, think: of what a garden must be in Palestine! And in such a garden Jesus Chris : slept after, on the soldier’s spear. His last irop of blood had coagulated. And then see how appropriate that all

---— tree-shaded. la Jane, Greenwood i» Brooklyn's garden. •‘Well, then,* yon *ay, "how cm yon make out that the Resurrection Bay will heantify tike cemeteries? Will it not leave them a plowed-up ground? Cm that day there will be an earthquake, and r ill not this split the polished A berth sen granite, as well as the plain stab that can afford but the two words, ■Oar Mary.’ or *Our Charley? ” Well, I will tell you; how Resurrection Day will Iteautify nil the cemeteries. It win lie by bringing up the faces that were to us once, and in our memories" aro to us now, more beautiful than nay cal la lily, and the forms that are to ns more graceful than any willow by the waters. Can you think of any thing more beautiful than the reappearance of those from whom «« hare been parted? I do not caire which way the tree falls in the blasted the Judgment hurricane, or if the plowshare that day shall turn under tlie last rose leaf and the last china aster, if oat of the broken sod shall come the bodies of our loved ones not damaged, bat irradiated. The idea of the resurrection gets easier to understand as I hear the phonograph unroll some voice that talked into it or sung into it a year ago, just before our friend’s decease. You turn the wire, and then come forth the very tones, the very accentuation, the very cough, the very song of the person that breathed into it once, but is now departed." If a man can do that, can not Almig hty God, without half trying, return the voice of yonr departed? And if lie earn return the voice, why not the lips and the tongue and the throat that fashioned the voice? And if the Ups and the tongue and the throat, why not, then, the brain that suggested the words? And it the brain, why not the nerves, of which the brain is the headquarters? And if Be can return the nerves, why not the muscles, which are less ingenious? And if the muscles, why not the bones, that are less wonderful? And if the voice and the brain and the m uscles and the hopes, why not the

entire body? If man can do the phonograph, God nan do the resurrection. Will iit be the same body that in the last day shall be reanimated? Yes, bat infinitely improved. Oar bodies change every seven years, and yet, in one sense, it is the same body. On my wrist and tllie second finger of my right hand there is a scar. 1 made that at twelve years of age, when, disgusted at the presence of two warts, I took a, red hot iron and burned them off, and burned them out. Since then my body has been changed at least a half-dozen times, but those scars prove it is the same body. And we never lose our identity. If God can and does sometimes rebuild a man five, six, ten times, in this world, is it mysterious that He can rebuild him once more, and that in the resurrection? If He can do it ten times. I think He can do it eleven times. Then look at the seventeen-year locusts. For seventeen years gone; at the end of seventeen years thev appear, and by rubbing the hind leg against the wing make that rattle, at which all the husbandmen and vine-dressers tremble as the insec tile host takes up the march of devastation. Resurrection every seventeen years. Another consid eration makes the idea of resurrection easier. God made Adam. He was not fashioned after any model. There had never beep a human organism, and so there was nothing to copy. At the first attempt God made a perfect man. He made him out of the dust of the earth. If out of ordinary dust of the earth and without a model God could make a perfect man, surely out of the extraordinary dust of the mortal body, and with millions of models, God can make each one of us a perfect being in the resurrection. Surely the last undertaking would not be greater than the first. See the Gospel algebra: ordinary dust minus a model equals a perfect man; extraordinary dust and plus a model equals a resurrection body. Mysteries about it? Oh,'yes; that is one reason why I believe it It would not be much of a God who could do things only as far as I can understand. Mysteries? Oh yes, but no more about the resurrection of your body than about its present -existence. I will explain to you the last mystery of the resurrection, and make it as plain to you as that two and two make four, if you will tell me how your mind, which is entirely independent of your body, can act upon your body so that at your will your eyes open, or your foot walks, or your hand is'extended. So I find nothing in the Bible statement concerning the resurrection that staggersme for a moment. All doubts clear from my mind- I say that the cemeteries, however beautiful now, will be more beautiful when the bodies of out loved ones come up. They will come in improved condition. They will come up rested. The most of them lay down at the last very tired. How often you have heard them say: “I am so tired!” The fact is, it is a tired world. If I should go through this audience, and go round the world, I could not find a person in any style of life ignorant Of the sensation of fatigue. I do not believe there are fifty persons in this audience who are not tired. Your head is tired, or your back is tired, or your foot is tired, or your brain is tired, or your nerves are tired. Long journeying, or business application, or bereavement, or sickness have put on you heavy weights. So the vast majority of those who went out of this world went out fatigued. About the poorest place to rest in is this world. Its atmosphere, its surroundings, and even its hilarities are exhausting. So

God stops our earthly life, and more especially gives quiescence to the lung and heart, that have not had ten minutes’ rest from the first respiration and the first beat. If a drummer-boy were compeled in the army to beat his drum for twenty-tour hours without stopping, his officer would be court-martialed for cruelty. If the drummer-boy should be commanded to beat his drum for a week without ceasing, day and night, he would die in attempting it. But under your vestment is a poor heart that began its drum-beat for the march of life thirty or forty or sixty or eighty years ago, and it has had no furlough by day or night, and whether in conscious or comatose state it went right on, for if it had stopped seven seconds yonr life would have closed. And your heart will keep going until some time after your spirit has flown, for the auscultator says that after the last expiration of lung and the last throb of pulse, and after the spirit is released, then the heart keeps on beating for a time. What a mercy, then, it is that the grave is the place where that wondrous machinery of ventricle and artery can halt! Under the healthful chemistry of the soil all the wear and tear of nerve and muscle and bone will be subtracted, and that bath of good, fresh, clean soil will wash off the last ache, and then some of the same stylo of dust out of which the body of Adam was constructed may be infused into the resurrection body. liow can the bodies of the human race, which have had no replenishment from the dust since the time of Adam in paradise, get any recuperation from the storehouse from which be was constructed without our going back Into th» dost? That original, life-giv-ing material having been added to the

resnrrecnon boaj; And wilt sot hundreds of thousands of such appearing above Gowanns Heights make Greenwood more beautiful than any Jane morning after a shower? The dust of the earth being the original material for the fashioning of the first human being, we hare to go back to the same place, to get a perfect body. Factories are apt to be rough places, and those whotoil in them bare their garments grimy aind their hands smutched. Bat who cares for that, when they turn out for ns beautiful musical instruments or exquisite upholstery! What though the grave is a rough place, it is a resurrec-tion-body manufactory, and f rom it shall come the radiant and resplendent forms of our friends on the brightest morning the world ever saw. You put into a factory cotton, and it comes out apparel. Yon put into a factory lumber and lead, and it comes out pianos and organs. And so into the factory of the grave you pnt in pneumonias and consumptions, and they come out health. You put in groans, add they come out hallelujahs. For us, on the final day, the mo3t attractive places will not be the parks or the gardens or the palaces, but the cemeteries. We are not told in what season that day will come. If it should be winter, those who come up will be m ore lustrous than the snow that covered them. If in the autumn, those who come up will be more gorgeous than the woods after .the frosts have penciled them. If in the spring, the bloom on which they tread will he dull compared with the rubicund of their cheeks. Oh, the perfect resurrection body! Almost every one has some defective spot in his physical constitution: a dull ear, or a dim eye, or a rheumatic foot, or a neuralgic brow, or a twisted muscle, or a weak side, or an inflsimed tonsil, or some point at which the east r nd or a season of overwork assaults tim. But the resurrection body shall be without one weak spot, and all that the doctors and nurses and apothecaries of earth will thereafter have to do will be to rest without interruntion after the broken nisrhts of their

i earthly existence. Not only will that day be the beautification of well-kept cemeteries, but some of the graveyards that have been neglected, and been the pasture ground for cattle and rooting places for swine, will for the first time have attractiveness given them. N|t was a shame that in that place ungrateful generations planted no trees and twisted no garlands, and sculptured no marble for their Christian ancestry; but on the day of which I speak the resurrected shall make the place of their feet glorious. From under the shadow of the church, where they slumbered among nettles and mullein stalks and thistles, and slabs aslant, they shall rise with a glory chat shall flash the windows of the village church, and by the bell-tower that used to call them to worship, and above the old spire beside which their prayers formerly ascended. What triumphal procession never did for a street, what an oratorio never did for an academy, what an orator never did for a brilliant auditory, what obelisk never did for a King, resurrection morn will do for all the cemeteries. The Easter tells us that in Christ’s resurrection our resurrection, if we are His, and tho resurrection of all the pious dead, is assured, for He was “the first fruits of them that slept.” Benan says He did not rise, but five hundred and eighty witnesses, sixty of them Christ’s enemies, say He did rise, for they saw Him after He had risen. II He did not rise, how did Sixty armed soldiers let Him get away? . Surely sixty living soldiers ought to be able to keep one dead man! Blessed be God! He did get away. After His resurrection Mary Magdalene saw Him. Cleopas saw Him. Ten disciplein an upper room at Jerusalem saw Him. On a mountain the eleven saw Him. Five hundred at once saw Him. Prof. Ernest Renan, who did not see Him, will excuse us for taking the testimony of the five hundred and eighty who did see Him. Yes, yes; He got away. And that makes me sure that our departed loved ones and we ourselves shall get away. Freed Himself from the shackles of clod, He is not going to leavo us and ours in the lurch. There will be no door-knob on the inside of our family sepulcher, for we can not come out by ourselves; but there is a door-knob on the outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold of, and opening, will say: “Good morning! You have slept long enough! ‘Arise! Arise!” And then what flutter of wings, and what flashing of rekindled eyes, and what gladsome rushing across the family lot, with cries of “Father, is that you?” “Mother, is that you?” “My darling, is that you?” “How you aU have changed! The cough gone, the croup gone, the consumption gone, the paralysis gone, the weariness gone. Come, let us ascend together! The older ones first, the younger ones next! Quick now, get into line! The skyward procession has already started! Steer now by that embankment of cloud for the nearest gate!” And as we ascend? on one side the earth gets smaller until it is no larger than a mountain, and smaller until it is no larger than' a palace, and smaller until it is no larger than a ship, and smaUer until it is no larger than a wheel, and smaller until it is no larger than a speck. Farewell, dissolving earth! But on the other side, as we rise, Heaven at first appears no larger than your hand. And nearer it looks like a chariot, and nearer it looks like a throne, and nearer it looks like a star, and nearer it looks like a sun, and nearer it looks like a universe. Hail, sceptbrs that shall always wave! Hail, anthems that shall always roll! Hail, companionships never again to be broken? and friendships never again to part! That is what Resurrection Day will do for all the cemeteries and graveyards from the Machpelah that was opened by Father Abraham in Hebron to the Machpelah yesterday consecrated. And that makes Lady Huntington’s immortal rhythm most apposite: When Thou, my righteous Judge, shall count To take Thy ransomed people home, • Shall 1 among them Stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at Thy right hand? Among Thy saints let me be found, Whene’er tht archangel's trump shall sound, To see Thy emlttng face; Then loudest of the throng I’ll sing. While Heaven’s resounding arches ring With shouts of sovereign grace. The last venture that we read of in the use of human hair is a fan, valued at two hundred and fifty dollars. Deft fingers must have fashioned this unique curiosity, for it is written that what appears to be costly lace fringing the sticks is really human hair; baby curls, like unto fairy thistle-down, we doubt not, yielding to the gentle wooing oil summer’s softest breetes. Any way, we can not help regarding this happy utilisation of woman’s greatest ornament a very onward step in the march of elegant improvement, as with creeping chills wv recall the vision of divert “family pieces,” perpetuating through the wired and unnatural floral structure looks of a generation past, twisted out of shspe, or hung in state as “memorial tablets,” or willows weepia# by the water-oourues.

— AGRICULTURAL HINTS. ___ - -— It Should, However,-Jle !Jio4 by Hor«levltnrlat* me an En ulston. Insects cam be readily destroyed bp the application of kerorene to their bodies; but. unfortunately, this sub* stance is equally destructive to many kinds <*f plants. Consequently, says a writer in the New York ledger, kero* sene is not as available for the destruction of insects as we might wish. One mast always, in proposing an insecticide which is to he applied to plants, take into consideratici i the effect of the substance upon the plants. The effect of kerostie upon plknts is n puzzlingmatter, and one about which we are not able to make generalizations. We are able to freely 'ret some plants with undiluted kerosene without any appreciable injuries resulting to them, while, on the other band, a small quantity Applied to other plants will usually destroy them. Tie matter is more puzzling when vre find, that certain of onr-hardy forest trees aie easily injured by kerosene, while certain delicate, tropical herbaceous id ants are not injured by it If kerosene could be e isily diluted with water its use as t i insecticide mould doubtless become mush more general; but it is so much lif t ter than water that, in any attempt to mix the two substances, the kerosene < [uiekiy separates from the water and 8 oats upon it During recent years; etsiderable attention has been giver to a taking emulsions of kerosene which < a 1 be diluted to a greater or less extent. It is claimed by those who have hud m ich more experience in tbe matter I ban I, that; these emulsions can be readily made, and dilutions of them saltly employed in many cases. Kerosene emulsion is m»M>y ^burning together milk and! kerosene. In the proportion of one part of nilk and twe parts of kerosene. Tbe best way to dr the churning is to use a for ;e-pump and spray-nozzle, and to pump tack into thf vessel containing the mixture. In this war. the churning can be done vers KERI

.thoroughly in a short tim;. It is said that the emulsion is formed not grad njilly, l>nt suddenly; in short,'to use : familiar phrase, “it cornea” like butter. The emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream which hardens on cooling and should adhere without oiliness to the surface ol glass. In regions where it is not easy to get milk, a solution of soap made by dissolving one pound of soap in two gallons pi hot water may be used as a substitute for milk. This solution should be added to the kerosene, boiling hot, and then the mixture churned until the emulsion is formed as described above. For ordinary purposes, in using kerosene emulsion, it is diluted with nine times its bulk of water. In this case one pound of soap and four gin lions of kerosene make sixty gallons of wash. In nsing kerosene in this way, grea! pains must be taken to have the emulsion a perfect one; otherwise the kerosene will quickly break from it when it is diluted with water. Even then, in making the application, the wash should be frequently stirred, especially if there is the slightest indication of the separation of the emulsion from the water. In using either strongalkaline solutions or kerosene emulsion, I advocate the making of preliminary experiments upon a few plants, and carefully noting the results, also the putting of the remedies only in the hands of reliable workmen; otherwise, through some mistake or carelessness, a great amount oil injury may he done. Respect the .Cow. A cow of mine firmly believes she is as much entitled to meal as I am tc> 1 milk, writes H. T. Brooks in the New ! York Tribune. She has converted me to her opinion, or, rather, forced me to acquiesce. In the spring after she calved I gave her night and morning, at milking-time, a feed of bran and meal. Vi'hen the grass improved I omitted the bran and meal, but proposed to milk her all the same. She objected to this arrangement, kicked and walked spitefully. away- My man and I got her into close quarters, held- her fast, determined! to have milk on onr ovrn terms, but; Crumple Horns was just sis determined! that we shouldn’t have it. We soon found that the cow controlled the supplies; she wouldn’t “give down” heir milk. We took to coaxing and patting tier; persistently, hut gently, squeezing her teats; it availed little; we retired worsted, thinking we would get n double portion in the' morning; hut in the morning she gave us little more than half.her usual quan ;ity, and so on for a week. I saw that without meal she would diminish her milk and soon (try up. I said to my hired man: “Bad luck to the fellow that quarrels with his cow; we should remember that in all milking arrangements the cow is a party concerned—in fact, the party of th« first. Unless we can be on good terms with our cow we had better not have one.” __ Gate-Latch. A New Jersey friend sends a drawing of a gate fastener.

Rich, Bed Blood. With rich, red Mood coursing through the reins and the heart’s action never obstructed by a single particle of blood poison or impurity, mankind ought to lire out their fuu allotted time in ease, in comfort and in perfect health. Old mother earth has furnished herbs of healing and strengthening virtue that wonderfully assist nature in keeping the blood pure and clean. Science revealed these herbs to that eminent physician, Dr. John Bull, of Louisville, Ky-, and they are happily blended in his meritqrious compound called Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla. Syphilis and scrofula yield readily to its magic influence, and other symptoms of impure Mood, such as pimples, sores, aches, pains, indigestion, weak kidneys, etc., vanish like snow before the noon day sun. It is the only compound that is absolutely safe to use in cases of bad blood.
