[From the Rev. Henry Ward Reecher's Sermons.] The seducer! Playing upon the most sacred affections, he bctray3 innocence.? IIow? By its noblest faculties; by its trust; by its unsuspecting faith, by its ten der love; by its honor. The victim, often and often is not so much the accomplice as the sufferer,betrayed by an exorcism which bewitched her noblest affections to become the suicide of her virtue 1 The betrayer, for the most intense selfishness, without one noble motive, without one pretense of honor?by lies; by a devilish jugglery of fraud; by blinding the eye, confusing the conscience, misleading: the judgment, and instilling the dew of sorcery upon every flower of sweet affection?deliberately, heartlessly damns the confiding victim!? Is there one shade of good intention, one glimmering trace of light ? Not one.? There was not the most shadowy, tremu lous intention of honor. It was a sheer, premeditated, wholesale ruin, from begin- ; ningto end. The accursed sorcerer opens I the door of the world.' to push her forth, i Site looks out all shuddering; fur there is j shame and sharp-toothed hatred, and ; chattering slander, and malignant envy, j and triumphing jealousy, and old revenge j ?these are seen rising before her, clouds j | full of fire that burns, but will not kill.? | ! And there is for her want, and gaunt : famine. There is the world spread out ; ? ' she sees father and mother heartlessly ! I abandoning her, a brother's shame, a i sister's anguish. It is a vision of deso- ; ! olation, a plundered home, an altar where j ! honor and purity and peace have been in? j j siduonsly sacrificed to the foul Moloch.? j j All is cheerless to the eye, and her ear ! | catches the sounds ofmourning, wails and 1 | laments; and far down, at the horizon of; i the vision, the murky cloud for a moment j lifts, and she sees the very bottom of infa- j I my, the ghastliness of death, the last spasm ; | of horrible departure, the awful thunder i of final doom. All this the trembling be- i ! trayed creature sees through the open door | I of the future; and with a voice that might raise the dead, she turns and clasps his , knees in awful agony: '?Leave me i??>t! | I Oh! spare me?save me?cast me not away I ! Poor tiling?she is dealing with a dotnon! ! j Spare her? Save her? The polished j scoundrel betrayed her to abandon her, ! and he walks the streets to boast his hell- , I ish deed! It becomes him as a reputation! I Surely Society will crush him. They will j smite the wolf and seek out the bleeding ) j lamb. Oh. my soul, I believe it not! What sight is that? The drooping victim is | worse than the destroyer! lie is fondled ' courted, passed from honor to honorandshe ; iscrushedandtnangled under the infuriate j tramp of public indignation! On her man- j gled corpse they stand to put the laurels on her murderer's brow! WhenI see such j things as these. I thank God there is a j judgemsnt, and there is a Hell. Tlie ticniu.s and Mls?rvof S. S. Pren U-*. Prof J. II. Ingraham, who now prefixes "Reverend" to bis name, has lately been contributing some sketches to the Augusta (Gii.,) Field. In the course of them he describes a visit to the grave of S. S. Pren tiss, at Notches, Miss., and thus explains the secret of the unhappy life of that rc I markahle man: Emerging from a romantic dell, we came upon a high road which led us to a small brick enclosed cemetery, half hidden by shrubbery. We had inquired for Prentiss' grave, and we were told we should find it within this pleasant enclosure, wherein three or four ancient looking, moss-grown toombs were visible, half obscured by vines. The iron gate was locked 1 climbed it, and making my way through matted grass and tangled creepers, stood before the upright slab of white marble which marked the resting place of tlie great orator. bared my head in the presence of the mighty dead; for with all his infirmities, Prentiss was the peer of the greatest intellects of his age. Jus tice has not yet been done to his noble character. His errors arc always refcrra ble to his physical infirmity. He was lame?very lame, and had been so from his birth. When he grew to boyhood, sensitive, and talented, and ambitious, lie I keenly felt his lameness, and wept over a \ deformity, which, in his own mind, degrad- | ed him in the presence of his schoolmates. Early he learned to taste the bitterness , of mi ambitions and lofty spirit feeling physical inferiority, while lie was proudly ? conscious of intellectual superiority.? ! When he became a man, his painful sensi- ! tiveness as to his lameness, led him to ex- i elude himself from all female society.? Under the crowd of his morbid feelings, ; he fancied women scorived him. The barb thus rankled ever in his heart. He did ! not known till long afterward, when a lovely woman gave her heart and hand, ! that a true woman is interested more by the splendor of mind in man, than symme- j try of person; that beautiful women look rather to the intellect and are dazzled by it, no matter how plain the casket. For thirteen years of his earlier man- i hood he refused introduction to ladies. ? ! Such was the sensitiveness, of this proud nature. He well knew his own intellectual powers, and knowing them, he despised j more and more his infirm body, and be lieved that all others did. Yet his face was wonderfully handsome. His head was : large, and noble and grand in outline.? His smile was beautiful. His powers of j conversation were imperial and unap- 1 proaehable. Vet consciously feeding upon his own morbid emotions he despised him self. He felt (like aouio uiigim augel in chains) bound to u body thai lacked tbc full and perfect impress of mind. This one unendurable idea was never absent from him. Once an injudicious friend, in discreet with wine, said: "Prentiss, what made you lame?'' Mr. Prentiss turned upon him :i wither ing look of scorn, hatred and contempt, und answered in a hoar-c and terrible whisper, before which the otliT trembled: "Go*s curse, sir.'" Then turning his back upon him, with a lip tremulous from unfathomable feeling, he covered his face with his hands, and hastening to his chamber, cast himself upon his bed in a paroxysm of bitter weep ing. Who could not pity such a man ?? Who shall wonder, Oh uncbarinble Phar isee, that he sought relief at the gamiug board, staking the thousands recklessly upon a card, or in the intoxication of the wine cup? He gambled not for money, he drank not for the love of strong drink; but to escape the pressure of damning thought. The sight of this infirm limb at times would drive this proud man to fierce despair. What cared he for the sots who flocked around him and drank at his ex pense? They were his tools. He made use of them to help him drown reflection. They drank for sensual thirst of drink; he to quench the fires of thought. He de spised them. Not one dared take a famil iarity with him. He who spoke to him lightly of his lameness was unforgiveti by him forevermore. Who will fling the stone? Who will condemn? Who can judge him, who was never in his place? What mind tan conceive of the intellectual and moral torture of this proud, brilliant genius, going through life, hating hi? own form, and shunning for vear3, God's greatest and best gift to man, from a sense of self degradation in woman's presence? No, justice has not yet been done to this great and wonderful man. lie was not understood but by a few of his nearest friends?never by his boon companions. They fancied he was such a one as them selves, when he towered above them like a prince, and despised them like a god. Ilis own brother, who wiote his life in two volumes, did not at all comprehend his true character, and has unawares left a false and unjust impression of him upon the minds of his readers. Even the grave lifts its voice in echo of the vulgar opinion which classes him with ordinary inebriates and reckless gamesters. It was with pain 1 read the inscription upon the headstone; it is with pain 1 copy it. I give it below : It'Thou, J?ur?1. hli*ul<lat mark iniquity, who .ihall rttUlltl? llut there Is forgiveness with Thee that Thou nmycht lie feared. S. S. PRENTISS, It O II X A T V O U T I. ^ X I) , 3!
