look upon our family plot in the cemetery,
In the one case it is a matter of public in-

there are rooms, two or four or six rooms of
rock; in the walls niches, each nicho large
enough to hold a deal body. One of thess
rooms of rock is especially wealthy with
scufpture, It wasa beautiful and charming
spot. Why ali this? The fact was that Jos-
eph, the owner of the parterre, of that
wealthy manor, had recognized the fact that
he couid not alwavs walk those gardens.and
be sought this as his own last resting place,
What a beautiful plot in whica to wait for
the resurrection!
Mark well the mausoleam in the rock, It
is to be the most celabrated tomb in all the
ages; catacombs of Egypt, tomb of Napoleon,
Mahal Taj of India, nothing compared with
it. Christ had just been murdered, and His
body must be thrown out to the do2s and the

absorbed in the funeral rites, That went for
crape which ought to have gone for bread,
A man of small means can hardly afford
to dis in one of our great cities! Fuueral
pageantry ia not necessary. No one was
ever moda lovingly and tenderly put into tne
grave than Christ, bul there were only four
the pro ession.
Again, stan ling in this p'ace where the
Lord lay, | am impressed with ths fact that
you cannot keep the deal down. The seal
of the Sanhedrim, a regiment of soldiers
from the tower or Antonio to stand guard,
floor of rock, roof of rock, wail of rock,
niche of rock cannot keep Christ in the
erypt. Come out anil comes up He must,
Came out and cams up He did, Prefigura-

Just as certain as you and I go down into
the grave, just so certain we will come up
again, Llhough you pile un on the top of us
all the bowlders of the mountains you cannot
keep us down, Though we be buried under
toe coral of the deepest cavern of the At
lantic Ocean we will rise to the surface.
Verious scriptural accounts say that the
work of grave breaking will begin with the
blast of trumpets and shoutings: whence I
ta®e it that the first intimation of the day
will be a sound {rom heaven such as has never
before been heard. it may not be so very
loud, but it will be penetrating, There are
mausnieums so deep that undisturbed silence
has slept there ever since the day when the
slsepers were loft in tham. The great noise
shall strike throuzh them. Amon? the corals
of Lhe sea, miles deep, where the shipwrecked
rest, the “ound will strike. No one will mis
take it for shunder or the blast of earthly
minstrelsy, There will ba heard the voles of
the urcounted millions of the dead, who coma
rushing out of the gates of eternity, fiymng
toward the tomb erving: “Make way! Oa,
grave, gives us oack our body! We gave it
to you in corruption; surrender it now in
incorruption.” Thousands of spirits arising
from the Held of Selan, and from among the

French royalty, in a similar period,
baskets trimmed with green leaves, and
filled with golden egun, after the cele
bration of high mass on Easler morn-
ing, were brought into the king's eabi-
net, and distributed to the court by the
chaplain. Indeed, it was an article of
faith in Normandy that when the church
bells ushered in the Easter morn,
angels descended to the homes where
little children dwelt, and leit eggs, as

In Rome the Faster eggs are taken
to the parish yriest, who blesses and
sprinkles them with holy water, and
the nun« afterwards paint and sell
them. They must be placed on the
table with the flowers and other decor
ations, and eaten as the first course for
the Easter dinner. The custom of
eoloring egus at Easter dates back to
the fourth century, and they are very
easily decorated by one skilled in the
use of the brush or pencil. In many
instances children may be able to earn
quite a sum of money by filling egg
orders for their friends,
One way of preparing them is to put
them a few minutes in hot water, and
then write, with tallow, a name, or
design, a flower, or ornament, on ei: her
side of the egg. Then boil it in water,
in which a 4 wed solution has been
put. The color will not adhere to the
