The TRA1N.-The immortal George Fran
els had very good house on Friday even
ing considering the rain storm which had
been prevailing during the day. His re-
marks were subs.antially-as heretofore
made on every night; Of the four hundred
and eleven on which he claims to have
spoken consecutively "a rambling. amusing
array ofslang phrases, rattle-brained asser-
lions and fanatioal denunciations, in which
Train, and Train magnihed, glorifed and
sanoti6ed abounded first, last and all the
time. From the moment his perfumed
locks and soiled kids struggled to the 81 age,
and he came out from under very fash
ionable silk hat, it was painfully evident
that
"You'd scarce expect one of my age''
~hatever else his puritanical grandmother,
to whom he frequently alluded, may have
taught him, was not incorporated in his
childish ritual. He showed exactly how he
is to be elected President in 1872, all very
plain to men Of intellect. like Train-and
Capt. Cameron, for instance, but no are
obliged to aver that We "couldn't see it, in
the same Illuminating medium. He is a
man Of genius, wit and originality, with
an education that has elevated him above
selling Razor straps, Yankee Soap or Wiz
ard Oil, in which business we frequently
find humble imitators Of Omaha George.
From this city he went to st. Paul. where
he he was to t'preach'' on Sunday evening.

TIE STONE ROLLED A WAY.
BY Rev. II. N. Powers.

The awful spectacle of Calvary was ended.
After the tumutuous excitement of the popu-
lace, the agony, the darkness, and the earth
quake, there WAS silence around the place of
execution. The crowd who gathered to the
crucihXion had dispersed. The disciples were
scattered. The merciess perpetrators of the
tragedy were apparently satisfied with their
success. The people bore to their homes the
vague and unrestful depression that follows
strong excitement and with the friends and fol-
lowers of the Lord was the dull and gnawing
pain of bereavement and disappointment In the
shadows of the evening the lifeless form of Jesus
was laid in the new tomb in 'lhe garden where
he was crucifed." The wounds were still
fresh where the spear had pierced, and the
nails had gorcd his tender hands and weary feet.
The fair bloodstained brow smarted no more
from the cruel thorns. No scowing accusers
confronted those closed and sightess eyes.
The anguish and the bitterness were past and
the white face calm, patient, uncomplaining,
and strangely sweet, still spoke of the uu-
fathomable heart that was pulseless now. 4
great stone was rolled against the door of the
sepulchre; and as the Paschal moon sill
vered the foliage of the garden, and the
fragrance of the flowers was waited upon
the dews, they left all that was visible of
the Lord. But oh how much was inclosed
there that was dear; and how strange, and per-
picking, and grievous it all seemed to those tina.
loved so WELL The night passed, and the Sab
bath; and on the morning of the first day of the
week the faithful women, eager with holy
memories and affections, bearing spices and
ointment to embalm Him, bastened to the sepul-
chre. But the stone was rolled away. Life had
sprung from death. The buried victim was
victor over the grave. He was not where they
sought Him, but had risen In due time He met
the sorrowiug ones with His benediction. The
problem of being was solved. Immortality was
assured. Christ is the first fruits His own shall
be like Him at His appearing.

There Is o rainbow In the cloud
That overhangs the grave. The shroud
ls tinged with its bright glory-hues,
And for the dead there is good news"
The man is weary, and weak, and old;
His heart is drowsy, and numb with pain;
He falls asleep; he is still and cold;
He never will wake nor rise again.
SO sinks the sun. SO falls the leaf.
So the flowers unfold aud fade.
SO the beautiful-frail and brief
In the dreary, winterly grave are laid.
But do not weep! Though the sun may sleep,
And dark and cloudy may be the night,
The day will break, and the sun shall wake,
And scatter the clouds with his morning
light.
And so the leaf! And so the flowers
Winter is drear, and dark, and cold;
But spring will come with her suns and showers,
And leaves and blossoms again unfold.
Then do not weep! Neither dark nor deep
The grave should be, to believing eyes;
The Lord hath riseU Hath broke the prison.
And all that sleep in the grave shall rise.
