THE HEATHER.

The Rev. Mr.. Beecher, in his sermon
delivered in Park street church, Boston,
at the ordination of number OF missiona-
ries to the heather, makes the following
pathetic appeal to his audiences
''If the gospel would be no blessing to
the heather, ii is none to US. IL their SUI
perstitions are as saIutary to them in their
moral influence as the gospel would be,
they would be as great blessing to us as
the gospel is.
Make the exchange then, We who pro-
fess such charity and philanthropy to-
wards the heather. Give them your BIZ
Bile, and pastors, and receive their idol
gods, and brahmins, and religious rites.
Demolish the temples Of Jehovah; and
rear up TO roll through your streets the
car of Juggernaut, besmeared with blood
of human sacrifice" covered with EN-
blems of pollution. Put out the Sun Of
Righteousness and bring back the dark
ness visible. Kindle up the fires that
shall consume annually 10 circumference
of thirty miles, two hundred and seventy
five widows on the dead bodies of their
husbands, and leave behiad thousands Of
children doubly orphans. Welcome to
your shores the religion which shall teach
your children, when you are sick, to lay
you down by the cold river side to die
and when their mothers shall shrink from
the glowing flame, with their own hands
TO thrust them in. Welcome to your
hearts religion which shall teach you to
entice your smiling children to the waves
and plunge them in, to attract by their
cries the sympathy of strangers or to per-
ish, and become the food OF ,aligators.
Welcome to your hearts religion which
if sin shall annoy, and the fear Of punish
ment shall invade, will send you TO drink
of the waters that lave your shores, and
wash IN their flood as your most efectual

l
lous. You raised your band against me
in a passion six months ago, says Capt.
Heath, but only let me shoot at you once,
all alone in some bye place--.you stand
still and let me take good aim, and dead
or alive we shall both be ge,ttiemen and
men OF honour. What vile prostitution
Iof common words-what barefaced per-
version of common sense. How despica-
BILE the slavery that can Chain rational
being to custom SO impious and pre-
posterous.
But the subject is too melancholy for
ridicule--When brace of unbearded
midshipmen have settled in this way their
bacchanalian quarIels, we have smiled at
1.-The serions application TO such an occa-
sion, OF such term as honour. But
when those men who are to control by
their example the character Of the ser.
vice, become affected by the coDtagion
of this fatal absurdity, we hope there is
no one that does not feel mortified and
lsaddened.
In the instance of Perry and Heath,
they have both escaped uninjured 10 their
persons. But they have done more iniu-
ry to their country than she would suffer
by the loss of twenty such men in her
honorable service. The muTdeiou prac.
| tice of duelling would have derived 20
stronger sanction from their example had
they fallen victims 10 it.
| We shall be reminded that Perry did
DOT fire. But still, to every purpose Of
Example, he has proved himself duel.
ist. We think that even the code Of
6 honour" will not distinguish between
the guilt of committing crime and Of
conserving TO it.
On the subject of duelling the mora
sense of the nation is too enlightened tC
need argument. Indeed it is subiec
upon which its advocates either fear Oh
scorn to argue. They place it at once
beyond the Jurisdiction of God and man
We have therefore not an inch of GROUND
upon which TO meet them.
We would at ali times, treat the con
duct of men in office, with Difference anc
respect. But crime even in a naval he.
ro, is still crime and has no claim to del
icacy or reserve. The laurels Of Erie
cannot conceal the stigma of duel. L
the mature reflection" which Perry
Isays he exercised on this occasion, die
not discover TO him the error and guilt o
the deed, we have only TO pity the man
whose reason is so enslaved by custom
and prejudice. But il he acted agaiRs
the conviction of his conscience, his de
liberation awfully enhances his blame
The lamented Hamilton employed hi
last breath in the condemnation of tn,
practice to which he fell an untimely
victim. His dying testimony against tbi
crime, remains on record to compensate
his country, for the sanction his example
gave TO it. Perry is spared, We hope, fol
a more substantial atonement--to protes
through long life of usefulness and vir
tue, against the course he adopted. 1
he does not this, let him share with Other
duellists the guilt and reproach of all tina
this country may hereafter suffer from
this absurd and criminal custom.
