DIED
The Death of Dr. Kane.
PHILADELPHIA, Monday Feb. %

PHILADELPHIA, Monday Feb. %.
1t is reported That a special dispatch has
been received from New-Orleans announ-
cling the death of DIR. Kane, and the arri-
val of his body there en-routo for Phi!a-
delphia.
1t is a painful duty that we are called
TO perform in chronicling the dccease of
DIR. Kane, which we announce on the
somewhat dubious authority of the above
dispatch. 1t is but a few weeks since in
telligence was received Of his departure
from England in search of health i'll lIa-
vana, and strong hopes were entertained
that this change Of climate and scene would
serve the purpose Of recruiting the physi-
cal energies which had become PROSTATE
through a long rour,a of unremi:limg toll
and exposure. The hope proved faliacious
and Dp Kane is gathered TO his fathers,
while yet at the Threshold Of his life, and
at the commencement of a career whose
early promise was already %abundantIy full
filled. He died at Havana, at the age of
35 years. His mind remained clear, and
his disease though making rapid progress,
left him moments for calm reflection, and
gave him a peaceful end.
DR.. Elisha Kent Kane was a native IF
Pennsylvania, born in Philadelphia, on
the Sd Of February, 1922. His carly
years were notable chiefly for the rapid
development of that spirit Of adventure and
love of investigation which afterwards car
ried him over the world and led him into
places which no man but he had ever trod.
In character DIR. Kane was peculiarly re-
firing and unostentous; not diStruS,ful Of
his abilities, but slow TO obtrude them into
notice; ambitious, yet prud mt, energetic,
amiabIe and upright: In person he. was
scarcely of the average height, but his
muscles were firmly knit; he had a finely
developed head, remarkably full in the
faculties which gave artistic power and
taste. His constitution, never strong, has
succumbed beneath the burdens that his
energetic nature imposed upon it.
The Doctors published works are few.
His Two Artic Narratives are comprised
in three volumes, aud he has issued some
scientific trealises, besides preparing lee
lures on subjects connected with the Arlic
Explorations. His labors as a navigator
and geographer, have been rewarded by u
gold medal, presented by the Royal Geog-
raphical Society, an 10y other tcstimoni-
ais; but his best and most enduring record
is found in the remarkable acts of a crow
dec life.-N. Y. Il.

Communicated. l

Mr.. EDIToR Your correspondent has
frequently heard complaints uttered
against the improperly and bad effect of
long sermons. AS q consequence he has
thought it might be well to note a few
ideas upon the subject and its connections.
The question might be asked, by what
rule1s a preacher of the gospel to be gov
erned as to the length of his discourse !!
The question is no doubt easier asked,
than answered but we would venture to
say, that circumstances must in Il great
measure determine; and here the Judge
inent of the preacher must come in action.
IL it is a time of unusual seriousness, and
the audience are hungering for the bread
of life, he would see himself justified in
protracting his remarks; or if the case
was, that Christians had long been de-
prived Of the ordinance Of the Gospel
by reason of exile or persecution-lhen it
might be expected they would hang upon
his lips. Or if the p%eculiarities of a time
required the full discussion of a subject,
which could not be condensed within the
ordinary limits of mems patience, be might
under these circumstances enlarge with
out its ever being a tax upon the mind
of the heares.
ButIn these days of degeneracy when
custom has by its own stern decree fixed
the length of a sermon at from thirty 10
fifty minutes, a preacher should spin out
his even well digested and well connected
discourse to the ler h of one hour, in the
face of his audience who, under the inllu-
ence of Morpheus are by three's and
fves doing him o~beisance, or what is
much worse to be excited to laughter by
the distorted and wild grimmace of gen
tlemen, who have lost the power of their
under jaw, and tobacco juice oozing out
of both sides of the mouth. With such
things as these right in the face and eyes
of the minister, a want of judgement
would certainly be displayed, if he should
continue to draw upon an exhausted re-
ceiver.
