Written for the Corrector. •'Clerical Crltficiuin \ again. AE K . E DITOR : —I have just read an article in your issue of the 7th irist. , written b y D y. P. B. Johnson , entitled \Clerical Crit- ism , \ in which he refers to me and an arti- cle I previousl y wrote in such a way th a t repl y in most evidently called for. I am reall y surprised that he writes as he does , and it -eems to me that on cool reflection lie must regret it. My article was written in the kindest spiri t , and was any thing but personal or denunciatory. There was not an expression iu it that the most refined and .. -. j ¦ =. — ^. -^^s.s^i> —urtcr anywhere. I h ave a positive aversion to personalities or violent denunciations , in discussion , especiall y in that pertaining to science and relig ion. Those who are con- scions of bein g on the side of truth and of havin g troth on their side , can we.ll afford to be candid and gentlemanl y. I believe , however , in a plain , straightforward sty le of thinking ami expression , so that we tan tm eaaily understood. Words are si gns of thoug ht ^ and should he used according l y. If a mw holds that n:i id is purely a 1 roper- ty of ^natter , he shonld not find fault if he is represented a holding materalism in the commonl y accepted meaning of that terxa—<• if he denies the existence of a personal God in the universe and recognizes nothing but needless force inhering i« matter , he is an atheist , and he should aok find fault when that term is app lied to him. The conun- drum wfth which tbo Doctor concludes his article , I here insert , which applies very di- rectl y to himself , but in no degree to me: \Why cannot gentlemen and In d ies talk like such , and writ* Lte snch , upon matteia oi reli g ions controversy 7- \ T>y. JoUnsoa says: \To ohavge. me -with Atheism and falsehood requires no genius. \ I have not ohargea him with falsehood. I have not directly charged him with Atheism though to be log ically consistent , he can not be anything else. He holds that mind is a property of matter , and as Theodore Parker once said , •' «« abnegation of mind is an abnegatio n of God. \ If he believes in a personal God , it is very easy for him to. say so; but expressing the views lie does , he g ives fc!i& SEftpJff ss?on of Atheism. Why does he not say exp lioittj that he believes in a conscious , intelligent rajiul in nature ? If however , what he say. « , be trne , \Mind is a property of matter , \ and that at death , \it goes where the mo- tion goes when ti*? \&e<4 stops , \ it makes very little or no difference to him or anyone else whether there is a God or not. Mate- rialists have genemll y 'been Atheist' s , but the Doctor may be an exception , and if so , he ca\\ ?a^lv u\ake kn . own bis. position. It may be with him and some others as it was with the sceptic- Hume , who once said to a friend: \Though I Avo w out my spec* illations to entertain the learned . a . u , d . meta- physical world , yet in other things I do noX think so differentl y from th& rest of Vsfi world as you imag ine. \ This he said at a time of gres* affliction on account of his mother ' s death. Dr. Johnson says that most of the articles, written in regard to Tyudal l since his ad- dress at Belfast , are unfriendly to him and hitfviews. He nais>es the Rev. O. B. Froth- ing ham as one of the few honoraule excep- tionN . But he does not inform his readeis that Mr. Frothingham ignores the existence of a personal God. Iu a discourse deliver- ed a short time idto* Pro f. Tyndall' s ad- dress , he said as repor ed ia. 4!&e Xctc York Herald : \To my miud the true successors of these men are Huxley, Tyndall , Darwin and Spencer , the men who h ave constrncted and are enforcing what is called the h yp o - thesis of evolution. They are oming to bring to tang ible form the fabi Ibsi- there is on all-perraduiR Spirit of Life. Tiiey don 't mak a person of it. TliVy hf$ ^s«$u) 61 ¦ what they say.; Tliey won 't' . even speak the . word God with any definiteness . The words force \ and law are too definite , of these they know nothin. \ Of course when Mr. Tvn- dal l says lie discflriis in muttra \the promiao and potency of every form and quality of life , \ Mr. Frothingham would be suited. , Anoth er exception referred to is J. H. H. who in an- article in the Corrector , said: \What shall we do ' whose faith ' is in one God and father of all , but bid these search- ing, men of science good speed in their noble work. \ I can say amen to . this in the sense in which the writer intended to be under- stood. These men are doin g better than they intend in bringing out important scien- t if ic facts , which properl y interpreted and applied are so many illustrations of the truth of the Bible. All the facts of science are in realit y divine facts , whether or not those wlio discover \ them interpret them properl y. • - - Dr. Johnson says: \There is nothing that more clearl y indicates the inherent weak- ness of the Christian church us a teacher of truth , than its fear and alarm at the pro- gress of scientific development. \ The intel- li gen t position of the Christian church are not alarmed at the progress of Science , and it is unfai r to make the above statement , because that erroneous and degrading in- terpretations of the sublime facts of science are opposed b y intelli gent Christian * men. They would be cowardl y and false to the cause of truth to remain still. j?or instance when p h ysioloiry is represented by Dr. J., as teaching that mind ia a property of mat- ter and perishes with death , and thus \ shat- ters the very corner-stone of theolog ical be- lief , \ and I and others assert or prove the contrary ; he is vt-ry much offended and raises the cry— \th ey are frightened—their canse must be weak. \ When men iguore the existence of a conscious intelligent mind in nature, the very foundation of science and rel ig i o n , and the believers in a pero n al God instead of blind foiv.o , defend the truth , they are sneered at or reproached as being afraid and alarmed , and as ha v in g therefore a very weak cause. This is de- any tbinfi more to write on this subject , he will state p lainly whether or not he believes in a personal God. He states p lainl y enough his disbelief the personal immortality of the soul. I will conclude by inserting the closing passage in lecture delivered by Prof. Agas- siz , a short time before his death , who re- peatedl y declared that the theory of evolu- tion tends to atheism . Dr. Johnson will not read it with his mind prejudiced by the fact that it is from a t&eologian , but from one of the greates t scientists, that ever lived. I feel assured that other intelligent readers oi the Corrector will peruse this truthful and suggestive passage with interest and profit and thank me for inserting it. Then while it n>ay be said' on the whole in a general sense th at lower forms have preceeded hi g her onc-s , and that embryonic development follows tlu« same progress from the simp ler to the more complex atucture , it is not true in detail that all the earlier aaimals were simpler than the latter. Qn the contrary, many of the lo wer animals were introduced under more hi g hl y organiz- ed Sarins than they have ever shown since , and have dwindled afterward. Such are the types which I have called synthetic types , combining characters which wer? separated later and found expression in distinct groups. That presentation of p.al»o»fcoib- gical phenomena wh i ch would make it ap- pear that the whole animal kingdom has been marshaled in a consecutive procession beginning with the lowest and ending with the hi ghest , is false to nature , there is no inevitable repetition , no mechanical e^oltii-' ticaa in tae geological succession of organic lifes. It b.aa tb . e correspondence of connec- ted p lan. It fc$s j ust t>.at kind of sesem- blance in t^e psrts ^ so raueh aiid no more , as always characterizes intellectual work proceeding from the same source. It hag that freedom of manifestation , that inde- pendence , which chara c terizes the work of mind <*s comp ared u'ith the work of law. Sometimes , in looking at this great epos of organic life in its totality, carried on with such ease and variety, and even playfulness, of expression , oae is. sesaindesl 0$ the gseat conception ol She poet or musiahiB ,, where the undertone of the- iuudamecta.! harsaouv is heard'beueatSt all the diversity of rfcythm or of sonp - . So. great is this freedom v so unlike the mechanical action of evolutioa , that we find endless discrepancies ,, endless incongruities , app klhug anachronisms in the would-be unuiternpted series of pro- gressive events as. advocated by the suppor- ters of the t raii&siu 'itation dogma. Animal s that should fce ancestors if simp licit y of structure is. to characterize the fust born t are knowa fio-be of later origin j feke more corap lio&eea ^onS(S have frequentl y appeared first , aud the simp ler ones, later , and this in hundreds of instances. Astf one doubting my statements needs only &oiaty»\se tkfilead- ing treatises of palaj orJogy \sjitfe, tits best sys temati«- ««*k s ou zoology.. Th , e- assertion does not besjf serious ex&iSiination , It is just oue oJ those fancied , results foUcwiug the disclosure or pceKeafcution of a great law which captivates the mind , and leads it to take Ui at wUicU it fishes to be true for truth. . J- .. ^ay seem to have made onl y assertions ^ withont demonstration in facts. It is true that I have had tithe only for a gen eral il- lusteation , ' and have been unable to present to JOir tile brotvcl of examp les winch present themselves to mind. This I hop e to do later. Meantime think I have something tp. Bliow yon that the interpretation I put on toy own facts is more cowect than that .iwhicti the transmntationistspnt upon them. Tlcliovc that all these corresp ondences be- tween the different aspec ts of animal life arc the manifes tations of mind acting conscious- ly wit h intentio n toward one o bject from be g innint j to end. . Th is view is in accordance with the working of our minds ; it is an in- stinctive reco/jnitioii of a menta l power with which our oien is aki/ i , manifesting its elf in naUtre. For this rea so n more than any other , perhaps , do I hold that Ihisworld of ours is not the result of the action of uncon- scious organic forces , but the work of an in- iciliiienU conscious power. BY REV. J OHN MO0BB. « ¦ ¦ ». — : , Written for the Corrector, Editor of the Gorrec ' .cr —Sir:—M y atten- tion has been culled to an article in your paper of the 24th nit., headed \Emaiiuel Swedenborg \ wh i ch contains some very un- just and unfounded statements , which not only a sense of justice to one of tlio best and noblest men that ever lived , but the very title of your paper , iaipeds me to correct. In that article it is stated that \it is now known \ that the Arcana Goelcs t ia , one of the largest of Swedenborg ' s theological works , \ was the work of a madman ; \ that Swedeuborg \ was attacked with nervous d erangement from his own account: \ that \there is a break of three weeks in Sweden- borg ' s diary, the interruption correspond- ing to relate appears to have been an attack of acute mania , described by Brockmor the man at whose house he lod ged , to Mathe- sius a Swedish clergyman , by whom he was questioned on the subject. \ I pronounce the above statements , each and all , v> he totall y without foundation. pa rticle o \f testimony ov->^* . * » ~\ ~ i ^^y C. ' y^n Z \ ^ been proved in the most concise manner , unfounded that Swedeuborg was ever n madman , or in any degree deranged , or that h« was ever attacked , or gave any account of being attacked with nervous derangement or that one Brockmer ever told Mathesius , the Swedish clergyman , that Swedeuborg had had an attack of acute mania at his house. I challenge the production , of any testimony that will invalidate what I have here stated. Sir , I have been a reader of the writings of Swedeuborg for abou t forty years , ami I have read all of the theolog ical works published by him , and some of them many ti m es ; and I have sough t i> .ll the tes- timony which I have been able to find , re- lating to that remarkable man from his childhood to his decease at the age of 84 years , and I have yet to see the first indica- tion in his writings , of anything, exeep i the truestfcud noblest sanity. Or to find elset where , the first particle of . substantial evi- dence that he was ever for a moment insane. I am not ignorant , that that Ihe Rev. John Westly, the celebrated founder of Methodism , published a statement , which ho-avers , and I do not question truly, that he receivtxl a«o>ns the Rev. Mr. Mathesius the Swedish clergyman above refered to , that one Brockmer , at whoaehouse Sweden- boro- lodged , during one of his visits to Lon- don , told him. (Mathesius) thai Swedeu- borg had had a violent attack oi insanit y while stopp ing at his house. This j\i r. Brockmer was. alive when Mr. Wesfly published in substance the above statement , and he tolalh j denied that he had ever made such a stateme&ir So. Mathesi- us , or that Swedeuborg was eves insane while stopp ing at his house. The denial of Brockmer was tak en from his owia lips , by the lafe Be*' - Bo^ast Windmarsh and by him published in the \New Magazine of Knowledge \ at London in the year 1791. ' Moreover the story of Swedenborg ' a in- sanit y was never heard of until nearl y forty year s after it was alledged to have taken p lace. But what is remarkable , there is the most undoubted evidence that fee above nieatioaed Sraredask. etergyman , who. was known to have been a bittes and nnserupelons theological oppw&ewt »S Swed- euborg, himself became insa&o in- London , and was sent borne to Sweden in- tka-b state , a u d renm i n b i in it for many y ea r , i-5 not for the reinaiiiifes C J S hia life. Mr . Editor , there is a brief and authentic biograp hy of Emanuel Swedeuborg in \A p- p leton ' s New American Cyclopedia , \ and if yon , have any desire that your readers should bo iniornied ia regard to the true character of SwetJenborg, and the great esiisiattou in which he was held b y many distinguished men ne k ooJy in his own country but ia En- glan d who knew him , I would ask yoia to republish in J 0 ** pup^r that article , or if that should prove to bo too long\ I will most g ladly fitsnisb. you with a siili more condensed biographical sketch of his. life , and which. I pledge you , shall not be suo- cessfullv gainsayed , if you will indicate to> me yous willingness to publish, the same. Yery respectfull y youra ' C. .A. DUNHAM.

Insanit y is a word used; to desi gnate the whole famil y of intellectual derangements , and this famil y is a large one. . The insane are with us , a ' nd all around us ; they do much more harm than is generally suspect- ed , and it is-tUo-duty—of—tlie -p liyoicinxr - to both miti gate their sufferings and protect society against . the inj uries th ey may inflict. Mind is a force resulting from and liberated b y nervou s action : it is to the brain what pu ls ation is to the hea r t , an d a ll treatment to be effectual must be based upon a recog- nition of this fact. The derangemen ts of the m ind though numerous may be classi- fied under thre e heads ; idiocy or imbecili- ty arising from lack or arrest of develop- ment; lunacy caused by disease o£ the brain , and emotional insanity the result of nervous disease. In this latter , and iu some of its varieties , most common form which insanity assumes the imagination is undul y developed , the emotions rendered extreme- ly susceptible , the facult y of the percep tion of truth weakened or absolutel y destroyed and an inordinate and ever-increasing ego- tism generated which sometimes appears in the guise of self-cpmpl acentcy sometimes of sensitiveness. The memory aud powers of observation are usually impaired and the co-ordinate working of the reasoning pow- ers disturbed. M ysticism or a belief in personal communion with the deity or un- seen and unreal beings is one of the char- acteristic symptoms by which this form of mental derangement may be recognized , and it frequentl y produces a profound but spurious and unnatural reli g iosity. When to special indul gence in religious exercises is added seclusion from society and solitude emotional derangement is sure to follow. Here we have an exp lanation of the ori g in of the fakirs of India , the ascetics of the earl y Christian period , t he Mahometan der- vish and the midaeval saint. Emotional In- sanity in some of its Protean forms has g iv- en rise to delusions which hav e become ep i- demic and apparentl y per-raangnt: Islamism p ie is Mormonism , - a rel i g i on esta b lis h ed and a people gathered \on a. foundation ut- terl y shallow and fictitious. Joseph Smith , a man without education , bankrupt in char- acter , and an unscrupulous liar , suddenl y, and without any reformation , becomes an interpreter of God' s will to man , the inspir- ed discoverer and translator of a book he had the audacity to oall divine , but which is known to have been written by an insane orthodox clergyman who supposed himsel f inspired. On the word of this abandoned man , and with no guarantee of his sincerity, thousands deliberatel y forsook their reli- g ion , turned their backs on their native lau d and followed the ioots,t&ps of the pre- tender. Living openl y iii relations abso- lutely licentious he yet pretended to such nearness to God as to be able to heal the sick aud raise the dead. Yet in face of all these facts his followers number over a hun- dred thousand aud form a oo-vapact and co- hesive church organization. Mormouism is a most sin g ular e p isode in modern civ i l- ization. Most rel i g ious beliefs had thenv ori g in in dark and credulous ages when it does not s,eeov surprising that' the naration of miracles and yevelaHfais. shoul d be re- ceived OK insufficient evidence , but this has sprung up, in the full , blaze of the . n i ne- teenth century civilization, the f«ge of Sfcraass , Colenso , and Rjuaan , as wol] as Faraday, T yndall , and S pencer. We cannot wonder r.t the spread of Islam ism in tlie ?tb century when .Mornionism has haci sweh success it» the lOtli. Emaiiuel Swe- deuborg a man of great learning, hi g h cul- ture , amiable and affectionate in his disposi- tion , late ia iii' & when the vi gor of mardiooil had subsided beeazae . emotional l y slerasigcd. and publishe d vol u me on Moluine in rap id sacsession describing his ix-iatioxs with the unseen world , and a new eiiwrch has been founded upon his delusio n s. Iu \Itody and Mind\ b y Maudslcy, the hi g hest liv . iug au- thori ty on mental pathology, new and re- v ised editio n , price §1.50 , a book which evry clergyman desirous of distinguishing real from spurious reli g ious phenomena shoul d possess , may be found a report of SwecTenborg ' s case occupying 55 pages from which the sketch recentl y published iu the Corrector and other papera was couoensed , and if anyone can read that , aud not be con- vinced of Swfdenberg ' s insanity he would not believe though one rose from tho dead to testify to it. Ancient times furnish many examp les of such writings , of which the Book of Enoch g iving the names of the an- Ecel s , the Watchers of Ks&vea , describing the Son of Man , the Ancient of Day s , and the Throne of God in language fthat cannot bo surpassed , is a sp lendi d andi striking ex- iiniplei ISor is there any reason wh y such books ' should not be read and admired now tha-S bieis origin is understood and explain- ed. As the- diseased oyster prod noes- the peaxl » sa gems of thought and pearls of wis- dom Biay b* distilled from brains whose in- sp inatkm is derived fro m crcthistic mania or cataleptic ecstney. Throug h all avenues insanity enters . Pstssing throug h the gateway of the cerebrosp inal system , it rides upon the li g htning of the motor nerves. It glows in tho kindliug glance of the enthusiast , dreams iu the reverie of the mystic , flashes along the pathway of genius ; and g ilds the fine culture of the student . In and out our doors the. phantom glides with noiseless feet but -with a breath wliose perfume poi- sons. No one sided philosophyxvill explain its nature or dispel the enchantment. Only the : earnest student who studies phenomena without fear and without prejudice will learn lier secret and so dissolve her spell. Every day gives the lie to those who supposing they know everything: presume to sot bounds to human knowled ge , yet they are none the less haughty. In constantly un- veiliug what have been mysteries to the ages past , God warns men to donbt their former lights , for the day wil l come when the science of the most learned will be put to confusion. P. R OOSEVELT JO HKSOX , M. D. Of George D . Prentice , for whom a mon- ument is being talked of in Lou i sville , it is said : \Mo n ey -lie scattered plentiously : ho died comparativel y poor. He was eccen- tric; fonder of woman than man ; generous to a fault ; insensible to fear; hard-working and pains talcing in profession , careless in his vices; isolated , self-contained , indiflw- ent; a great character , a strong character , a weak character; brilliant and marked from first to last; -interesting throughout. P OWER OF B EATJTI ' . — A lovely woman ne- cessaril y exercises a great deal of power ; but a foolish girl who relies solely on her color and regularity of feature , and neg lects the cultivation of her mind , is a melancholy spectacle. Her selfish little heart , her bar- ren little mind , lord it already over her cheap superficial beauties , and will soon leave nothing behind but a dreary waste. Her little victories are temporary, her little failures lasting. SIu * can never be a power . She can scarcel y hel p being a drag. Her companions must be among the common- p lace , not to say th e vu l gar , for she has nothingiu common with the loft y and grand. She would gasp on the hei g hts. She can assimilate nothing beyond the material. yteW -fTHgTaj oWtuTmean^^^^ D R . T.VLMAGE ON H TPOCKITES . —In the Christia n at TForfc , Dr. Talmage hits so hard at the class of men who pray aloud aud sjj are not , that it looks as if he had had some h ypocrite sitting for a portrait. The incisive Doctor says: Almost every churoh has an element of \Dead-Beats. \ These are . they who , : not- withstanding they have means pay no pew rent where the pews are let , or contribute nothing where everything is voluntary. They are volubl e in prayer , mig ht y in reli^ gious gab , make big swash , but do nothing where everything is voluntary. They are voluble in prayer , mi g hty in reli g ions gab , make bi g swash , but do nothing for religi- ous institutions. They p ray that the pas- tor may \bo blessed iii his basket and store , \ but do nothing to keej> him from starving to death . * ¦ * * ¦ We never like to hear a man pray who takes it all out in prayer. It is all . foll y for a man to pmy for the world' s conversion unless he g ives something towards it. The man whose income is not more than 8200 a year oug ht to g ive some of it to God.
