Beeeher on Insurreetion.

The following is an extract from the
sermon of Henry Ward Beecher, dciv-
cred shortly after the Harpor's Ferry
affair:
"First, We have no right to treat tho
citizens of the South with acrimony and
bitterness because they arc involved in
a system of wrOng-doing. Wrong is to
be exposed. But the spirit of rebuke
may be as wicked before God as the
spirit of the evil rebuked Simplicity
and firmness, in truth, is more powerful
than any vehement bitterness. Speak
ing the truth in love is the Apostles
prescription Some men SO love that
they will not speak painful truth, aud
some men utter truth so bitterly as to
destroy love; and both are evil-doers.--
A malignant speech on slavery will not
do any good; and most Of all, it will not
do those any good who most excite our
| sympathy-the children of bondage
"The breeding Of discomfort among
the boudmen Of our land is not the way
to help them. Whatevergl gloomy thoughts
| the slaves own mind may brood We are
not to carry disquiet to him from with
out.
"Tho time is rapidly coming, when
the Southern Christian will feel a new
inspiration. We are not far removed
from a revival Of the doctrines Of Chris
tian manhood and tho divine right Of
men. When this pentecost comes, tho
slaves will be stirred by their own mas
ters. We must work upon the master.
Make him discontonted with slavery,
and he will speedily take care Of the
rest. Before this time comes, any at-
tempt to excite discomfort among the
slaves will work mischief TO them, and
not good.
"No relief will be carried to the slaves
Of the South, as q body, by any indi-
vidual or organized plans, to carry them
off, or to incite them to absoond.
"Still less would We tolerate anything
like instruction aud servile war. It
would be the most cruel, hopeless, and
; desperate of all conceivable follies, to
seek emancipation by the sword aud by

a Happy Pieture of ION CorWin.

A Happy Picture Of Tom Corwin.
The New York Herald's Washington
letter-writor gives the following bril-
liant sketch of Tom CoRwIM
It is "Tom Corwin," and not a call
of the House, that has drawn away
the members of that body in a lump
from the speech of Mr.. Douglas. The
"Little Giant, in the recitation of his
Illinois campaign against the Black Re-
publicans, was an old story; but the re-
port that COrwin was up in the House,
and right among the fire eaters, in
general and sweeping reply to Barks-
dale, of Mississippi, was an attraction
which could not be resisted. So long
ago as 1910, "TOm Corwin, the Wagon
Boy" had won the title Of the greatest
and most fascinating stump speaker
"west of the mountains" Since that
day he has been a member of the Uni
ted States Senate, Secretary Of the
Treasury, Governor Of Ohio, and now
returns to the House Of Representa-
tives, Of which he was a member with
Henry A. Wise, and Fillmore, aud
Toombs, aud Stephens, when they
all belonged TO the good old Wing party.
Mr.. Corwin is some five feet eight
inches high, and looks to be not over
ffty years Of age. He is a solid and
robust man, with a round, full, iovial
face, sparkling with fun, and glowing
with the reflections of generous and
intelligent mind. His complexion is
as dark as was that Of Daniel Websteri
and we believe that Mr.. CorWin at
tributes it to the fact that he was de-
scended from the ancient oriental Mag
var race Of Hungary. He occupies an
aisle on the Democratic side; he has
gone among that party so that they may
hear him; the Republican side Of the
House is almost completely vacated
There arc half-a-dozen members in
those benches. Their usual occupants
arc crowded around Corwin and fused
with the Democratic party and the
South Americans, for the FIRST time this
session.
Mr.. Corwin has been upon the dool
an hour. He has proved his mettle.-
He has made an impression. In tn,
wide range which he has taken in the
examination of the slavery question
and from the inexhaustible historca
facts, incidents and anecdotes whiol
ho has brought to bear upon the sub
joct, he has secured the profound at
tention Of his listeners His frequen
sallies Of wit aud humor are receive,
by spontaneous explosions Of laughter

lpoint, that the extension Of slavery wa

Taking Cold.

A large number Of fatal winter dis
eases result from taking cold, and often
from such slight causes, apparently, as
to appear incredible to many. But, al
though the causes are various, the re-
suit is the same, and arises from the sim
gle violation Of a single principle, to-
wit, cooling off too soon after exercise.
Perhaps this may be more practically
instructive if individual instances are
named, which in the opinion Of those
subsequently seeking advice in the va
rious stages of consumption, we're the
causes of the greatest misfortune, pre-
missing that when a cold is once taken,
marvellously slight causes serve to in
crease it for the first few days; causes
which, under ordinary circumstances,
even a moderately healthful system
would have easily warded off.
Rachel, the tragedienue, increased the
cold which ended her life, by INSULT
oient clothing in the car, in travelling
from New York to Boston; such was
her own statement.
The immediate cause of the last i'll.

and the philanthropist, was an injudi.
ciOus change of clothing.
An eminent clergyman got a cold
bed in mid-winter within fifteen min

course; he was instantly chilled, anC
died within forty eight hours.
! A promising young teacher walkoC
two miles for exercise, and on return
ing to his room, it being considered tot
late to light fire, sat for half an hou'
reading a book, and before he knew it
chill passed over him. The next da,
he had splitting of blood, which was tn
beginning of the end.
A mother sat sewing for her children
to a late hour in the night, and motto
ing that the fire had gone out, she con
cluded to retire to bed at once; bu
thinking that she could "fnish" in
few minutes, she forgot the passin
time, until an hour more had passed
and she found herself "thorOughly chill

Causes Of Sudden Death.

DR.. Hall, in his journal of Health,
says that very few Of the sudden deaths
which are said to arise from diseases Of
the heart, do really arise from that
cause. To ascertain the real origin Of
sudden deaths, the Doctor says an ez-
pertinent has been tried in Europe and
reported 10 q scientific Congress held at
Strasburg. Sixty-six cases Of sudden
death we're made the subjects Of a
thorough post DlortcDB examination. In
these cases, only two were found that
died from disease Of the heart. Nine
out Of sixty-six died from apoplexy,
while there were forty-six cases of
congestion Of tho lungs, that is, the
lungs were so full Of blood they could
not work, there not being room enough
for a sufficient quantity of air to enter
to support life. The Doctor goes on to
| Ienumerate the causes that produce con-
gestion Of the lungs They are, cold
feet, tight clothing, cOstive bowels, sit
ting still until chilled after being warm
ed by labor or a rapid walk; going too
suddenly from a close, heated room, into
the cold air, especially after speakingi
and sudden Oppressive news operating
on the blood These causes of sudden
deaths being known, an avoidance of
them may serve to lengthen our valuable
lives, which would otherwise be lost un-
der the verdict of heart complaint. That
disease is supposed to be inevitable and
incurable, hence men may not take the
pains they would to avoid sudden death
if they knew it lay in their power.

The christian Gentleman.

He is above a mean thing. He can
not stoop to a fraud He invades no
secrets in the keeping of another He
betrays no secret con6ded to his own
keeping. He never struts in borrowed
plumage. He takes no selfish advan-
tage Of any mans mistakes. He uses
no ignoble weapons of controversy
He never stabs in the dark. He is
ashamed of inuendoos He is not one
thing TO a mans face, and another be-
hind his back. IF by accident he comes
into possession of his neighbor's Coun-
sells, he passes upon them an act of in
stant oblivion. He bears sealed pack
ages without tampering with the wax.
Papers not meant for his eye, whether
they futter in at his window or lie open
before him in unguardod exposure, are
sacred to him. He profanes no priva-
cy of others, however the sentry sleeps.
Bolts and bars, locks and keys, hedges
and pickets, bonds and securities, notices
to trespassers, arc none of them for him,
He may be trusted, by himself, out Of
sight-near the thinnest partition any
where. He buys no Office, he sells
none he intrigues for none. He would
rather fail Of his rights than win them
through dishonor. He will eat honest
bread. He tramples on no sensitive
| feelings He insults no man. IF he
have rebuke for another, he is straight
forward, open and manly, He cannot

BAPTISM IN HooPs.-At Chicago last
week a rather amusing scene took place
during the baptism of q young lady by
the pastor of the Tabernacle. The
Union says "The minister requested
her to assume the dress peculiar to such
an occasion, but she declined to take
off her hoped skirt The minister told
her of the inconvenience that must re-
suit from her obstinacy, but she persist
ed. When she came to descend into
the bath, the inflated skirt touched the
water and rose up around her like a
balloon. Her head was lost to the con-
gregation; she was swallowed up in the
swelling skirt the minister tried to force
her down into the bath, but she was
kept above the surface by the floating
properties of the crinOline, and was
buoyed up so successfully that it was
not until after much difficulty and many
forcible attempts to submorge the lady
that the minister succeeded in baptsing
the fair one. Finally it was effected, tC
the relief of the minister and the seri
ously inclined audience, who could no
keep from laughing in their pocket
handkerchief"

from Delaware, and it is pleasure to us to
present him as suitable, and in all respects
qualified, to fill the nigh Office of President of

We copy the above from the proceedings of
meeting purporting to have been held at
Blackbird, in Appoquinimink Hundred, on Sat
urday last. Have we but one Senator in the
United States Senate worthy of the notice of
the Democracy of Appoquinimink Hundred?
If SO, let us know it. We outside barbarians
would like to know what is going on in Dem
mark. We would have copied the whole pro-
ceedings of this meeting but we found it Or
dered for the Delaware Gazette only; conse-
quently, we took it for granted that they did
not want the people to see them. We always
like to crafty such people in their whims, but
we cannot refrain asking if we have but one
Senator who is worthy of their notice?

than two or three hundred. But let that be as
it may, Joe Barr had no right, nor do thank
