SBEECH OF HENRY D, EIMSEY.
Ladies And Gentlemen:
It is with no affected gratifica¬
tion that I ibank the gentlemen of the
Town creek Sabbath school for their
courteous mark of their favor,to which
I have the pleasure to respond on this
occasion. Especially l esteem the bons
or, because I have long regarded Sab¬
bath schools and their celebrations, as
one of the most powerful adjuncts of
religious education which can contribute
its benificent effects to a community,
I shall however, compare the Sabbath
schioeof North-East Georgiato a mint
which coins the gold that is dug from
her hills; but instead of coining tbe
glittering bullion, they are coining the
minds of these young gentlemen, which
is more precious than'the gold, •‘yea,
than much fine gold”—and also to the
young iadies, (if you will pardon me),
whose faces are sweeter than the honey
and the honey-comb. It was said by
Cicero, tbe great orator of antiquity,
that be who assumes to instruct an
audieuce imprudeuce—Itelieve without preparation is guilty
of me iadies aud
gentiemeu, I have not been regardless
of this maxim of true oratory. I have
hero prepared in manuscript, a few
thoughts f .r your consideration—it is a
terrible looking package, bu f don’t ben
come intimidated, for a greater portion
of it is blank paper, and I propose to
confine myself to tbe manuscript. I ex
pcct to stick to the letter at the risk of
breaming obnoxious to that ancient
legal aphorism that ‘‘he who sticks to
the letter sticks in the bark." Then
be miDe the pleasing task with no mis
givings for the stability of'the school
which I represent. It is expected of
one who attempts to address anaudi.
ence on an occasion of this sort to make
an occasional allusion to Tempa's vale,
blooming flowers and rippling streams,
and fif he cannot combine pleasantry
with philosophy his speech is pronoun
ced a failure ami himself a fraud,
Knowing that the young people are
indisposed to listen to any thing of a
grave, serious nature, I hav t selected a
practical subject for your consideration*] hamf
The subject, though unworthily
died, I am sure would arrest the atten
tiou of the stateman, the moralist, and
these young men before me who arc
genuine types of American
The subject which I offer you for your
consideration is, why should Sacred and
secular history be studied?
the whole experience of the past is a
lesson for the present and the future,
and 93 we are created with the
of reason, nothing is clearer than that
no stpp should be taken without the
exorcise of this faculty. Much more is
this the case when we consider that
even as individuals in a nation our ac
tions exert some influence, either
good or evil to ourselves and tbe com
munity. But we must have something
upon which to exercise our reason and.
separate the evil which brought about
tbe crimes, follies, and miseries of man.
from tho good which gave rise to
that advanced tho interest of
the principles of truth ascertained aud
the love and application
which brought the race to its present
state of civilization. All sources of his^
tory, both sacred and secular, offer to
our minds these important lessons
our study and contemplation. It
imperative on us to study the pages of
sacred history, in order to avoid the
evil and emulate the good. Our whole
life is, or should be a constant warfare
against evil fur the sake of good. We
should understand what evils spring
up in the history of the human W
and impede the progress of hjm anife
Secular history contains s^Jtltea’,
of these, therefore it should t»e
not from motives of self interest merely
duty, but from something higher, a sense of.
Every act of rational and ac :i
countable beings must ever be inspired
by this higher and ennobling sense of
duty. While we stoop to study the mis¬
fortunes of man we rise in the estima¬
tion of our Cieator. We ; re perform¬
ing a duty to man—wo are discharging
a duty to G A- If the proper study of
mankind is man where can the subject
of the study bo found of equal interest
as in history? It is tho voice of the
past still echoing in tho ear of the
present. 1'he follies of tbe past warn
ing the present. It is truth unuttera¬
ble ana unebangable. Now, then, and
forever the same, holding up to our
gaze all that should inspire us with it
love of the true, the beautiful and tbe
good. It is the experience of the ages
of the past made available for the pros
gress of the present. The great chart
which will enable us to sail upon the sea
of life, warning us of dangers where
myriads found their doom, aqd pointing
out the courses of peace, progress aud
civilization.
History is something more than an
account of the crimes, follies and mis¬
eries of man. Thee ^ furnish the stu¬
dent with sad, yet i„struetiog lessons,
well calculated to inspire a self law
that reason will not be required to re¬
strain. A seif law that prompts to
seif preservation through fear of bring¬
ing upon ourselves similar miseries by
like violations. Vain indeed would be
tbe time spent in Ibis study if the end
and aim centers only in self. But his¬
tory rightly understood imparts a very
different lesson. Those crimes, follies,
and miseries of mankind which darken
tbe pages of history are the results of
motives, at once selfish and unworthy.
The true studeut of history must feel
that while devoted to seif only, he cau
not claim that be makes a just use of
reasoD, as he is concerned ou matters
upon which the instinct of inferior
creatures never errs. He fails if this
be all be has in view. Let bin) set bis
mark high. Let him not forget that be
is one of tbe whole brotherhood of mau.
Paint our to hiui Che wonders and beau¬
ties of this lower world. Let him feel
that he is of that race which directs
the destinies of nations. Open the
pages of history before him. Let him
behold at one panoramic view, as it
were, the irresistible march of man.
His soul expands. “Fancy cannot pics
ture what his being must feel.”
fire of love burns upon the altar of bis
better being, and he rises inspired with
a love to God and man. Already he is
on the march; a benefactor io his race.
His whole life is an auswer to the ques
tion, "why should sacred and secular
tory he stnditdf He is tbe index of the
firmly established nation; society is or
gantzed and secured; peace established
and promoted; the rights and privileges
defended by nations of such men.
1 But history has a higher claim upon
our attention. It enlarges our views of
human character and gives exerc ise 10
<mr judgmeut. It unfolds to view the
light and shade in the character of
others, and causes us to redact ou onr
own. It is the mirror in which we be
hold tho consequence of designs, whoso
equal we may be permitiug the heart
to indulge. The greatest good remains
yet to be noticed. The sum of till our
acquisitions, tho end of all our labors,
the peace promised when tbe conflict is
ended— iu a word, the great incentive
to all our inquiries is wisdom- We bend
with awe and admiration over the pages
of sacred and secular history. Here is
at least a fountain of wisdom for fallen
and finite man. The lamp of ages still
burns over the dust and dosolatiou of
the one, while the sunlight of Heaven
is reflected from tbe truth, inspiration,
and wisdom of tbe other, We are in
vited like ship wrecked marines to for
sake the storms and darkness of the
sea of life, and enter the more serene
and impressive regions of security aud
peace.

Ill the Friends’ Burial Ground at West River.
The house is gone down, tho vyorshipersgone,
Each to rest in hi. dark narrow maosion alone;
Yet methinks I still Lear, tho breeze, as u
pUi.vs
Through the leaves of poplars, their anthems
of praise.
And the sweetest of chanters that float on the
air;
Aie Inning their notes to the ' elofly there;
And they know that the nosts >yhich these
branches uphold.
Are as safe as those built around his altars of
old.
And other ascriptions, or ant') ems, than these,
Have never ascended from hence on the breeze;
For tlfc worship here oflered was silent—no
ev® Vys W J
Relieve l the full heart of its burden of praise.
No symptoms of rapture or anguish, expressed
The deep tide of feeling which flowed in the
breast;
And souls that were blest with the vis.ons of
heaven,
M ore Drows as seieue as the soft summer even.
No hands that were mortal e’er offered the
bread
On which the freed souls of these worshipers
fed.
And the sign which is said the new birth to
impart
Was never impressed on]the brow but the heart.
But who shall deny them to sit at tho board
Of him who died for them, and whom they
adored,
Loved, honored, and lived for—tho great Xhreo
in One
Of the Church they belong to—the chief Cor¬
ner stono.
And who of us fettered, and bound up in clay,
Of souls thatare ransomed, and soaring away,
Shall say of salvation they wanted tho sign,
If the conscience was sprinkled with water
divine.
How thick they lie gathered; and yet there is
room
For me; when this body shall want a last home:
’Tia returning to mingle with dust the most
dear,
And I look for reunion, but do not look here.
O, no: ’tis the glorious reunion above,
When we meet, ne’er to part, with spirits wo
lovo,
And look down on the turf that grows over our
dust,
In hope, till thegravoshall surrender its trust.
No, the grave cannot hold me; while yet tho
sad sound
Ol the clods, as they fall on my coffin, ring
round,
My soul shall havo soared to tho mansions
above.
To Him who hath loved me—to all that I lovo.
