Communicated.
Mit. Editou. : Your correspondent has
frequently heard complaints uttered
against the impropriety and bad eflect of
long sermons. As a consequence he 1ms
thought it might be well to note a few
ideas ujion the subject and its connections.
The question might be asked, by what
rule is 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 ; b'it we would venture to
tay, that circumstances must in u great
measure determine ; and here the judge
ment of the preacher must come in action.
If 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 tic-pel
by reason of exile or persecution then it
might be expected they would hang upon
his lips. Or if the peculiarities of a time
required the full discussion of a subject,
which could not be condensed within the
ordinary limits of mens patience, Le might
under these circumstances enlarge with
out its ever being a tax upon the mind
of the heares.
But in these days of degeneracy when
custom has by its own stern decree fixed
the length of a sermon at from thirty to
fifty miuutes, a preacher bhould spin out
his even well digested and well connected
discourse to the ler. ii of one hour, in the
face of his audience who, under the influ
ence of Morpheus are by three's and
fives doing him obeisance, or what is
rouc'i worse to be excited to laughter by
the distorted and wild grimmace of gen
tlemen, who b.ave lost the power of their
under jaw, and tobacco juice oozing out
of both side of the inouth. With such
things as these right in the face and eyes
of the minister, a want f judgement
would certainly be dispkiyed, if he bhould
continue to draw upon fiu exhausted re
, ceiver.

The Death of lr. Kmto.
I'm l. a Dr. lp li l a, Monday Feb. 23.
It is reported llmt n special dispatch has
been received from New-Orleans announ
cing the death of Dr. Kane,nnl the arri
val of his body there cn-routo for Phila
delphia. It h a jviiuft.l duty that we aro called
to pel form in chronicling the decea of
Dr. Kane, which w nini Kince, on the
somewhat dubious authority of the above
dispatch. It is but a few wccU since in
telligence was received of hi departure
from England in search of health in Ha
vana, and strong hopes were entertained
that this change of climate and scene would
serve the purpose f recruiting the physi
cal energies which hud become prostrate
thrtiogh a lotm cuiif.vi of iuiremi:iiitr toil
and exposure. The hop ; proved fnliucieus
and DiKaue is gathered to his fathers,
while yet at the iln eahlmld of his life, and
at the commencement of a career whose
early promt: o was already abundantly ful
filled. He died at Havana, at the age of
3-5 years. His mind remained clear, aud
hisdisca.se though making rapid progress,
left him moments for calm reflection, and
gave him a peaceful end.
Dr. FlishaKent Kiuih wits a native f
Pennsylvania, born in Philadelphia, on
the 3J of February, 1SJ-2. His early
years were notable chiefly for the rjpid
development of that spirit of adventure nud
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 Dr. Kane was peculiarly re
tiring a:id unoatentous; not distrustful of
his abilities, but slow to obtrude them into
notice; ambitious, yet prud nt, energetic,
amiable and upright: In person he. was
scarcely of the average height, but his
muscles were firmly knit; hi 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 Doctor's published works are few.
His two Artie Narratives ure comprised
in three volumes, nud ho has issued some
scientific treatise, besides preparing lec
tures on subjects connected with the Artie
Explorations. His labors as a navigator
and geographer, have been rewarded by u
gold medal, presented by the Royal (Jtug
raplucal Society, an by other testimoni
als; but his best and most enduring record
js found in the remarkable acts of a crow
ded life. N. V. T.
