Lecture by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
The first lecture of the Lyceum course was
delivered last evening by Henry Ward Beech
er. Mechanics Hall was well filled on the &C.
sion. The subject was "Heads and Hearts"
Evidence, he said, is that which satisfies the
mind of the truth of anything presented to it.
This satisfaction is called conviction. How to
produce in the mind the sense of conviction of
a truth, is question radical to all educations.
Our knowledge is yet but in the germ, and our
skill in producing conviction is empirical.
Every faculty of the human mind is an in
terpreting medium of a distant kind of truth
The truths of the world may be divided into
the heart, and the evidence of each must be
presented to the intellect and the emotions.
Men differ so much from each other that no
mode of argument would produce like convic.
tons in all.
The lecturer asserted the dignity of the
feelings as the interpreters Of the truth
against the arrogance of intellect The truths
which men need most to know are those of
love, of duty, and of religion. The power of
moral truths depends entirely upon the heart
it carries behind it, A man may be a bad
man, and yet think correctly on moral subjects
but no man can think correctly while under
the influence of animal passions and of appe-
titles.
1t is safer to follow the heart than the head
reason, good pilot though it be, runs many
noble craft on shore. True, the heart some
times leads men wrong, but ottener than any
other guide, it leads men to true and noble
safety.
Ii there be thing which the north honors
more than another, l think it is success and if
there be a thing about which the south is more
sensitive than another, it is slavery; and yet
the great heart, following its influence against
justice, against reason, against right, cast it.
self upon the very nerve of the south, and failed
utterly before the north; and yet, to-day there
is not IN all the south another man that has
inspired so much respect, nor in the north that
has come so near sal ltship as John Brown.
1t is seldom that there lives a man who for a
sentiment will give his life as freely as if it
Were cup of cold water. His divine nature
hangs high above the twilight.
In respect to human life, every man is re-
sponSible for his conduct and his character If
he will come up to the measure of divine duty
implied and taught the way by which he
comes to it may be safely left to his own choos-
ing. Mr.. Beecher enlarged upon this point
and also upon the duty Of religious federation.
He wanted nothing that would not bear dis
cussion. Let there be free thought, free
speech, not federation, but liberty as a right to
every man, and the world will be grown vast,
and peace increase, and jars die away.

By request, Rev. DIR. Sweetser will repeat
this "wednesday evening, his Thanksgiving
discourse on "The Elements of National Pros
perity." The services will be held at the
Central Church, and will commence at u
o'clock. The discourse is said, by those who
have heard it, to be one of rare merit, for its
luminous exposition of the subject and for its
breadth and wealth of historical illustration.
But the feature that is of especial interest at
this moment is the bold and impressive con-
trast between New England and Virginia.
which the preacher introduced as illustrative
of his subject.

SMALL Pox IN ENGLAND.-The medical
men in England are beginning to find out that
vaccination is becoming ineffective. 1t is as
serted that the virus used for vaccination has
never been renewed since Jenner's time.
London is the center from which the vaccine
matter is supplied, and it is held that its trans
mission through the bodies so variously inf1u-
enced as of a great city population, must have
greatly deteriorated its powers. The third
reason named is a more certain and practical
one the public vaccinators are not paid
enough to induce them to attend to the cases
under their charge. The fee bill, as usual, lies
at the bottom of the difficulty Couri-

BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.-Although the day
appointed for the Irving obsequies was a
dull and cloudy one. for the most part, yet
at the moment when the corpse reached its
temporary resting place at the chancel Of
Christ Church, brilliant sun-ray shot from
the heavens athwart the church andrested upon
the coffin. The sunbeam then withdrew and
all was dark again. This incident seemed to
be poem in itself-it certainly affords the
theme for one.
