A DISCOURSE
on THE DEATH OF
WILLIAM UENRY HARRISON,
Late President of the U. S. of America.
Pronounced in the morning of April
1 lilt, 1841, by George W. Bethiine.
Minister of the Third Reformed
Dutch Church, Philadelpliia.
There is no teacher of unerring
truth but th: Lord our God, and our
meditations in His house of prtyer.
should* ever be upon lessons which lie
hath -given. It is not only from IIis
written word that those lessons may
be learned. He speaks t<» us in the
voice of nature, for all works are elo
quent of instruction; and in the doings
of his Providence, every event is or
dered by his sovereign will, to remind
us that *Ue is God, and beside Him
there is none else.’ There are diver
sities of operations, but it is the same
(^od which Worked* all in all.* Each
is a revelation of that Divine wisdom,
in wlgch the awakened soul may heai
’deep (railing unto deep.’ Yes ! often,
wnen the Bible seems written for the
careless heart in vain ? when Nature,
ill* all her varied wonders, fails to
lead us upward to her Maker andours;
God. by some stupendous act of Prov
idence, compels us to tremble before
his mysterious presence, and own the
majesty of his resistless might. At
such a time, we need ii<>1 search in his
holy pages lor a theme. God gives
the text, and it becomes ns humbly to
tow. and learn as • God the Lord doth
ipeak.’
llis terror is upon us now. As
though an archangel had blown his
trump,an oracle has come forth to us
iron* tlie high place of «>ur laud. A
wail of lamentation, like that «»f all
Isiael \v« eping in Rainah. when they
buried Samuel, the Lawgiver ; a cry
of dismay, such as burst from iheir
despairing hosts, when the Ark was
lost, has gone up from this vast nation.
The storin-cl'oid, whose portentous
shadow suddenly darkened all our
borders with (ear, has broken upon
<>urheads. Ourmanv-hearted prayer
has not been heard. Even as the
beseech ngacceuis were upon our lips.
1 lie boll fell—had fallen. The chosen
I lead of his countrymen; the foremost
citizcii »f all, where all are free ; tbe
It*>pe, the trust, the very idol of mil
lions; the hero, the patriot.the states
men*.. the -venerable, father, when as
yet his fool had but touched the Capi-
inline height where authority wel
comed him; when the acclamations
that hailed with thundering ’esponse
his earnest promises of determined
faith to his country’s welfare, had not
idolatry of the creature, God hath vin
dicated his own right to be our con
fidence and our stay. How in a mo
ment,-when we least thought of it, has
He dashed many hopes mto pieces!
He gave his messenger the warrant,
and a nation’s prayers and tears could
uot stay the determined blow. The
work was as surety done beneath the
proud. roof njf a. nation’s love, as with
in the humble cabinim the far western
border. We are,in the baud of God,
our lives, our fortunes, our rulers—
We are in the hand of God. O, let us
cast ourselves humbly upon his pro,
mi.se. and seekiiis favour thnmgh Je
sus Christ his Son, that the hand of
God may be a Father’s hand, that

He, at least. ,was uot made to feel the
sting of ingratitude and unmerited re
proach, as ev. ry one of those honor
able patriots who sat in that chair be
fore him, aye. even Washington him
self, felt it. The disturber of his me
mory must now seem guilty of strange
sacrilege, qs though . he had robbed a
grave.
But my duty, to-day, is no eulogy.
It is to* entreat you, in the name ol
God to profit by the lessons He teach
es us in this act of his providen.
What a severe rebuke dues this
sad event give to political bigotry and
rash invective against the motives of
those who differ from us in opinion I
Standing, in our imagination, this blesses while he chastens,
morning, beside the grave of our de-
pa rted patriot,. who, even uf. dhose
that strugnled most against his rise,
can look down upon his sleeping dust,
nor feel a pang of keen reproach, if
ever lie hath done hia honor wrong,
or breathed a hasty word that might
have touched his honest heart or cast
an insult upon his time-honored name?
And vile, yes. very vile i* he, whose
resentments the grave cannot still.
Whence thissacrednesswhichdeath
throws over the memory of character
and hie ? Is it because the dead are
defenceless, and return notan answer
again ? Is it because God hath come
in between usaiid our fellow creature,
and vindicated his right to he judge
alone? Is it because* in the humilia
tions of the sepulchre, we see the
frailly of that nature we share with
the departed, bur own’ aptness to err,
and how liable we are to be misjudg
ed ? O my friends, why should we
wait for death to teach us charity,
when itistooiate to practise it and re
pentance hath became remorse?—
Why not remember that the living re
quire. our candor and forbearance!
Nav, that we need iheir can«bu and
forbearance ? Why reserve all out
gentleness of judgment ior the dead
who are beyond the reach of our al>-
so jut ion ? ; They were, once as the
living, and the living sliall soon he as
they. It is, indeed, enugh to bring
us back to a better trust in human
nature, to witness such n spectacle of
union in sorrow and hotior for our de-
darted chief among those, who, a little
while since, were divided into earnest
and opposing factions; but hoi would
it not he far niora* ennobling to sec

How solemn is the warning for us
all to prepai e to meet «>tir G<»d !
It has been idly said, that’ Death
loves a shining mark.* lie is indeed
busv with the. great, but not less busy
with the obscure and mean, ’The
insatiate archer* has ail arrow for
each of us. *To f the same complexion
we must come at last.* He hath oc
casions which are more remarkable,
and rarely indeed never in this land,
hath he struck such terror by a singli
shaft as now. We looked not for his
coining to that honoured threshhold.
now overhung with the melancholy
signs of his dark presence. The old
soldier, it was fondly thought, had won
new vigor from the people’s bless
ing :—
For yet his lusty ogc seemed fresh and green.
His hoary head iiooly erect was seen.
. Nor needed he on stronger staff to lean.
But lie is gone. Death’s ne*t mes
sage may be to me, to you. Are we
ready? * O, my hearer, let us not
amuse ourselves with dreamy imagin-
iugs. The change is awful (r**m time
to eternity. It is as awful to meet
the summons oh bur humblo beds, as
though we were canopied withpurple;
alone, as though surrounded by groups
«»t pale friends. We know not when
lit may come, but when he doth meet
us, it is to bring us suddenly before
fair God. While the Chief Magistrate
lay in the igonies of death, with a
nation weeping around him, how
many, of whoni the world knew little,
were in the same dread article? As
they passed the mysterious gate the
inequalities of earth were left behind.
One moment beyond this life, and it
will avail u? nothing whether we may
have been rich or poori honoured or
unknown. Our eternity shall l>e be
gun, an eternijy of changeless blessed-
•r of changeless Wo. If we be
lost, who can sufficiently deplore the
amazing ruin? and a9 we look hack
on life* how poor shall the whole world
appear to have been, compared to the
undying anguish of . the soul ? If we
lie saved, who can estimate the weight
of glory God shall bestow upon our
immortal spirits ? and as we look back
life, how light shall the utmost suf
fering here appear to have been, com
pared to eteral raptures before the
face of God? Is it wise then to run
suen a desperate risk as this ? Is it
rational to pervert and abuse a very
small part of our being, and so render
all the future miserable ? Ought
our
»nce.
that whether death come, upon uq at
noon or evening, at midnight or at
dawn, he may find us watching ?
How important, therefore, that we
ch<»ose and follow the religion of our
Lord Jesus Christ !
With what interest was the inquiry
made, whether: our venerable Presi
dent died p Christian J and that, not
which tells of * Christ the-"-Resurrec
tion and the Life, itr-whom if a man
believe, though he die, yet shall he
live.* That Word is the h«dy lamp
that gleams through the valley ofthn
shadow of death, whose giixhn is al
ready upon him Another moment
—and the spirit hath past. • .
Tell me now; doth not the cross
put to shame alt honours else ? Is
there not a dignity in the hope of tlie
Gospel above all other pride? a vic
tory in its potter above all the boasts
«»f valour ? There.is no 'immorlality
beside. O then let that death scene
preach to you and to us all, that lay
ing aside every meaner pursuit, we
may seek first the kingdom of God
and his righteoU*B<?«*. ‘
May the blessing of dial kingdom
sustain her widowed..heart, whom e
nation’s sympathy can never compen
sate for. tbe^lpssof a.husband,
Even.so grant, I ,‘ord Jesus. Amen.
A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
EdwardXallhaghan. a private ii
regiment of carbineers, was stationed
at Fet moy, about the year 1795.' He
was a man of superior- abilities, and
was well received by several families
in tlie town where he was quartered,
a rather uncommon occurrence in the
history ot a private soldier. Amongst
the fewTamilies who thus noticed him

and*on his melttncvihly marriage, tlm
as she knew that iier parents, would
never sanction her union with one
who did not profess the principles of
Fox, leaving out of the question alto
gether the aversion entertained hv the
members of her society to waiv-the
occupation of her soldier-jovcr—-it
was deemed prudent to conceal their
sentiments towards each other; and
t hey filially agreed as soon as opportu
nity offered to be privately married;
then if they could not obtain their
parents* forgiveness, to do what hun

as they could,’ without it.
Months passed on, and this course
was rigidly adhered to; but informs

strongly urged hi? betrothed to con

of his wife, seeing that the irrevocable
deed bad been done, would relent,
and rather than suffer tjteir daughter
to be separated from her husband, buy
off Callaghan, pnd settle them in some
