TALMAGE'SSERMON FOR ME- C MORIAL DAY. h "I Will Say to the North, G ive Up, and to d ti the South, Keep Not Back"--Isaiah d A i I, ft. tIe Text-A Notable liecourme. w gi BRooK L; N, May 31 .-Yesterday hav- II img been observed as Decoration Day, I Dr. Talmage this morning preached an appropriate sermon. It wais a novel and unprecedented service, as i different parts of the audience were many of those 0 who had belonged to both Federal and Confederate armies, tle subjct having 1 been previously announced, namely. "Two Garlands 11w Northern and South- t ern raNves.'' Over the pulpit were two wreaths of beautiful flowers, and they I were linked together, so that they were aln object lesson for the subject present td. Text: Isaiah xliii, 6--6" will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, K eep not back.'' 1 tist what my text meant by the north 9 lind south I cannot say. but in the United States tle two words are so point blank in their meaning liIt no one can doubt. t They mean more than east and west, for C although between those last two there i have been rivalries and disturbing ambl- I tions and infelicities and silver hills and c World's fair controversics, there have v been between them no hatteries unlim- I bered, 1no itrienchelits dug, no long lines of -epilcbral mounds thrown up. it has never been Massachusetts Four tecnth regiment against Wisconsin zollaves; it. has never been Virginia artillery agaiist Mississippi ritles. Eas and west are distinct words, and sOmetimes may mean diversity of' in terest, but there is no blood on them, They can be prtionounced without any in tonatioi of weiling and death groan.~But he north and the south tire words that have been surcharged with tragedies. They are words which suggeat that for forly years the clouds had been gather ong for a four years' tempest, which thirty years ago burst in a fury that shook this planet as it fis never been s1iken since it swung out at the firit world building. I thank Gcd thalt the WoIds have lost some of the itensity which they possessed three decades ago; that a V:st multitude of northert) people have moved south, and a vast multitude of southern Peole liave moved north, and there have heen intermarriages by tle ten thousand, and northern colonels have married tle daughters of southern captains, an( ITexas rangers have umi1'.ed 1 ior lifi, with the daugiters of New York abolitionists, and their children are half northern and half southern and tl togeth er litriotic. But north and south are words that Ieed to lie brought into still closer har mnonization. I thought that now, when N%e are half way between presidential elections, and sectional animosities are at the lowest ebb; anid now, just after a presidential journey, 'vLen our chier t magistrate, who was chiefly elected by I the nort.h. has been cordially received at I lte south; and now, just Ifter two Me- I morial Days, one oritlem a month ago, strewimi, flowers on southern graves, and thie other vesterdav, strewing flowers on northers vraves, it might be appro p1riate and useful for m1 to ]ireach a ser nion which would twist two garlands, one for the nort.hern dead and the other for the southern dlead, and have the twvo interlocked in a chain of' tlowe:'s that shall h'indh forever thle two sections into (onei; anmd whlo knows but, th at this miay lhe the day wheni the prophecy of the tex~t made in regard to the ancieuits may be fulfill in regardl to this country, and the iiorth m.ive up its prejudices and the south keep not back its confidencey "I1 will say to the north, Give mil, and to (lie south, Keep not back.''

IOR LIVINU SOL,DiEnS. Before I put the two garlands I an Aisting upon the northern and south rn tombs, I detain the garlands a little rille that I may put them upon the row of the living soldiers and sailors 1 f the north and south, who, though at ariance for a long while, are now at ence and in hearty loyalty to the United tates government, and ready, if need e, to march shoulder to shoulder gainst any foreign foe. The twenty ix winters that have passed since the var, I think, have sufliciently cooled the hitreds that once burned northward and outh vard to allow the remark that they who fought in that conflict were honest )n both sides. The chaplains on both armies were honest in their prayers. I'he faces that went lto battle, whether uhey marched toward the (ulf' of' Mexico 3r marched toward the north star, were ilonest faces. It is too much to ask either side to be lieve that those who came out from their I hor ies, forsaki.-g father and mother and J wife andi child, niany of them never to i return, were not in earnest when they I put their life into awful exigency.

As chaplain of a I'ennsylvania regi nent, and as a representative of the t nted States Christian commission, I t vas for a while at the fr,nt, and in I hose hospitals at Ilag. rstown and Wil inmsburg and ip and down the poto- I nac, where aill the churches and Farm iouses were filled with wounded an(l lying Feder8als and Confederates, I for- I lot ainid the horrors to ask on which I Ide they fought, when with what little I id I could take them for their suflering i odies, and the mightier aid I could pray i ror their souls, I passed the days and. monthis amid scenes that in muy memory seem like a ghastly dr'eam rather than a possible areality.

The Weather and the Cropg. The weekly weather and crop bulle tin of the South Carolina Weather Ser- t vice, in co-operation with the United a States Signal Service, for the week end- 1 ing Saturday. is as follows, showing a uniform improvement in the crops all over the State: f Tho reports received from weather f crop correspondents for the past week d show that the rainfall has been above a the normal and well distributed t throughout the State, and was greatly 8 needed and very oeneticial to all crops. V The temperature hits been below the I average, the nights have been very cool a for the season and therefore injurious a somewhat to cotton. There has been C a very small amount of sunshine and 1 Ior the want of it cotton to some extent has been injured. c About two-thirds of the crop was plante<I early in the season, and was greatly retarded by the long dry t weather and cool nights. The remain- 1 der of the crop was planted later, and t since the recent rain show good stands. r The partial ipropitious seasons for . the last week show that there has been some improvements in the cotton crop nevertheless. Carn is in splendid con dition and growing rapidly, and pros pects now are the crop will be a full average one. The fall oat crop has been considerably improved by the rains and will be a fair average. The spring oats are, in some localities, inferior, while in others it is in line condition. A rea of the wheat crop, although small er than usual, is about an average. The truck farms are in good condition and are shipping large quantitits of vegetables. A large area has been planted in melons, but ti.a crop is late and some complaint is bt ing made that the cr(,- i.; being injured by bugs. No infortmatiol. has been received as to the conditiin of the rice crop. Upon the whole thiu. prospects for fair crops are greatly improved compared to the several past weeks.

Mr. l-skew left his young son, Eugene, a lad about 12 years old, i charge. About 'I o'clock lie closed the store and was about going to the house when he was req(uested by a young man who appear ed about that time, to open the store LId let him have a pair of shoes. The store was opened, but instead if buying the shoes the robber covered the boy with a pistol and ordered him to hand over the money in the drawer and also to open the safe. IHe had complied with the first part of the order and gave about lifteen dollars, but not knowing the safe combination could not c pen it. 'lie robber then left. Mr. Eskew at once went to work, but very quietly, to discover the criminal, and day betore yesterday two young white men, living aI few miles above hlere, were arrested charged with the crime. Their names are John and Marcus Morehead alias P'ittman. D. 11. lussell, trial justice, held a prelimin iry yesterday, and -John Morehead alias Pittmnan was sent to the court ol sessions charged with highway t robbery, carrying concealed deadly weapons and assault and battery of highi and aggravated nature. Marcus, the other party, was sent up for carrying a concealed deadly weapon. The deputy sheriff who made the arrest at the same time, captured a large Smith & Wesson revolver and two pair of heavy metal knmucks.
