Oti o’s P a lace. Rev. Mi. May, ,n his last
letter from Athens, Greece, says:—
The king is building a very large palace, too
lare and expensive, one would think, for a king-
Joffl go small and young as Greece. The cost
cannot be less than one million and a half of
dollars.
While this marble palace is going up, the
people are in poverty and ignorance. Surely
guch a monarch is not a ‘‘shepherd oft he people.”
Mr. M. says that Athens looks much like the
„ P west of our western towns. It contains about
20-OW inhabitants, and being the seat of the
court, is increasing. —North American.
from Ike Dublin Weekly Register,
father Mathew, the Irish Temperance
Apostle.
The following facts, which we have been ena
bled to lay before our readers, respecting this ex
traordinary and exemplary man, may be relied on
as authentic, as they have been lor the most part
derived from himself. His groat anxiety to draw
a v eil over the good things he has done is the on
jv rrason that they are not more numerous.
Mr, Mathew was born in tht* year 1789. at
Thomas! own House, the scat, of the Earl of
bland a ff, in the County ot ( ork. When about
20 years of age he entered Kilkenny College,
where, having completed the usual course of stu
dies, he took oiders as a Franciscan Friar. On
leaving college he fixed his residence at Cork,
where, in a short time he earned a high reputa
tion by the zeal with which he discharged the
duties of his sacred office, and particularly by his
powers as a pulpit orator. J o enumerate the ser
vices which he rendered to his fellow-citizens,
particularly the humbler classes of them, is a task
agreeable in itself, but one which would require
more time and space than we can afford to be
stow. Let it be sufficient to say, that he has
spent the last-5 years in continued exertions Ic
mitigate the sufferings of the poor eff his neigh
borhood, and to raise them from the'sbite of mo
ral and physical degradation to which they had
been reduced. Never, during that time, was ar,
attempt made to effect any of the great ends of
charily—to instruct the ig: orant, to feed the nun- i
gry, to clothe the naked—that did not either ori
ginate with him, nr at le .st receive his most ar-,
Jent support. He never stopped to enquire whe
ther such an attempt originated with u Protestant |
ora Catholic; he required but to be told that its I
object was to confer a benefit on his fellow-man. i
We need hardly say he is a t ue and consistent 1
Catholic; but at the same lime, he believes there
is room in heaven for every good man to what
ever sect he may belong. He never hesitates to
say that he believes benevolence to be the great
end of Christianity. His every word and
point him out as one of those (alas ! how few.)
who understand that the motive which called
God from on high to dwell amongst us was, that
we should love one another.
By such a course of life Mr. Mathew gained,
in a short time, an unhouu ed influence over the
minds of the surrounding poor. About two
tears ago it was suggested to him hy a few bene
volent individuals, who had attempted to estab
lish a total abstinence society in Cork, that he
could not better employ his talents and influence
that in reclaiming the humble clas es of his fel
low-citizens from the vice of drunkenness, which
prevailed at the time to a frightful extent among
them. He embraced the proposal without hesi
talion. About the commencement of the yeai
1838, he formed the first total abstinence society.
The temperance movement, like all great revolu
tions, has grown from small beginnings. For
several months after the first society was estab
lished, the number of its members scarcely exceed
ed five hundred : it is now more than a million.
There is not a single member of his family',
who are mostly distillers, on whom he has not in
flicted a serious injury by his advocacy of Tem
perance; nor were his friends the only persons
who suffered by his benevolence. For several
months after he established his society in Cork
he defrayed the expenses of it from bis own pock
<t. He hired, at considerable cost, a riding school
in Cove-street, as a place of meeting. He sup
ported a number of poor persons who came from
the neighboring county into Cork fur the pur
pose of joining his society. Lie gave sixty thous
and medals for nothing; and, in addition to all
this, there was no degree of exertion which he
thought too much for the furtherance of the great
work in which he was engaged. Diy after day,
he was at his post, encouraging and exhorting ;
his toil was unremitting, and his only reward is,
that which heaven never fails to bestow on a
good man. Mr. Mathew is somewhat under the
middle size—we should say about 5 feet B—some
what corpulent, but not so as to render him in
any degree inactive. In his countenance there is
a peculiar expression of benevolence.
It is rather fashionable with some people, who
think they can see farther into futurity than their
neighbors, to talk of Mr. Matbew’slaborsas tran
sitory in their effect, and of the happy change ef
fected in the habits of the people, as one that is
not likely to outlast the enthusiasm that has giv
en it birth. We entertain a different opinion,
and we are convinced a little reflection will lead
every thinking man to agree with us. What is
it that forms the drunkard’s charm ! Assuredly
nothing but habit. Nature has not implanted in !
our hearts a desire for wine or whiskey. The
propensity is born with no man. Its takes its
fise trom small beginnings, and grows by degrees
ll pon the mind. May we not. then, fairly expect
that time, which has given it its strength, may
also take its trength away 1 It is a great tiling

ihe people should continue temperate for one

"ill persevere. New habits will be created, new

a $ powerful a motive as either —a new lasluon
will be formed. It will no longer be considered
one of the necessary accomplishments ot a gen-
to be able to drink a certain quantity of
punch. Excess will be looked upon in
0s proper light as a thing rather to he ashamed
°f than to be prnu I of. T aking ail these things
into consideration, there is not the slightest
ground for apprehension as to tho ultimate result

are too evident to require any lengthened re

rUOSPECTUS OF
the keformer.
The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta,
Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Reformer’
extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to
the 10th of November next, for One Dollar in
advance. As its name indicates, it will be devoted
exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation
ot WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for
President, and JOHN TYe.ER, of Virginia, for
5 ice President, and the subversion of the present
Administration, —the necessity of reform in which
is becoming every day more and more apparent.—
It will observe a mild, dignified tone, and address
itself to the common sense of every class of citi
zens, for whose benefit it is designed.
'This Prospectus is issued under the impression
that the friends of reform will make a united and
zealous effort to give the paper a general circula
tion, in short to send it to the house of every man
who reads. The People want light, and if our
friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to
counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van
Buren presses, and carry the “war into Africa.”
In the language of a distinguished co-workcr, “All
we ask is to be heard by the people. It is for
them we speak, and if we can get a hearing, we
have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia.
‘•The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurl
their oppressors from office.”
W T e ask the press throughout this and the ad
joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and we
especially invoke the friends of the cause to be
vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward their
names by mail as early as possible.
The paper will contain nothing but leading mat
ter, being entirely free from all advertisements,
and is placed at so low a price as to bring it within
the means of every man.

Augusta, 29th April, 1840,
A CARD. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon. May 30, I threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When 1 arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my' cloak, which was carried off by the
individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any'
i kind friend could give me the clue to their names,
or the place to which they were travelling, so that
; I may' obtain my' valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upon one who at limes is too forgetful for
! his own interest. JAMES SEWELL.
