The Liat of Letters-
We here been officially notified that
the decision of the Poet Master in this
City, giving the Daily Press the pablt*
cation es the list of letters remaining In'
the Post Office here, has been approved
by the Department at Washington. Our
readers may remember that a protest
vras entered against our having the list
by the conservative organ (so-called)
op the street, aud the subject was refer
red to the Department, which has thus
sustained us. Bence, our claim to hav
ing the largest circulation within this Post
Office District is futly confirmed; and
the list of letters will be regularly pub
lished in the Daily Press.
Advertisers generally should avail
themselves of this circulation to bring
themselves, or their business, before the
public. It will prove a safe investment
and a profitable return.
Remember that we have “ the largest
circulation,” and that our advertising
terms are very moderate.
AJ ELOQUENT LECTURE.
We find in the New York Herald of
the 25th alt., a full report of a lecture
delivered before the Bloomingdale As
sociation by Richard O’Gorman, Esq.,
of New York, at the Cooper Institute,
in that city, the evening previous. It
was for the benefit of the poor of the
South, and is so replete with sentiments
of true Christian charity, of patriotism,
and real eloquence, that we regret our
inability to republish it entire. We can
not, however, forbear giving the con
cluding portion of it, which we are sure,
will be read with interest and pleasure
by all who admire the true in sentiment
and the beautiful in language. There
was a large and appreciative audience
present, and the lecture was deceived
with great enthusiasm. The following
extract is the closing pari of his lec
ture :
With us Catholics, charity is not a
matter of reason or calculation or senti
ment, but of duty and religion, and to
our charity no barrier can be known,
nor can any differencs of race, or creed,
or language, or color, exclude any
sufferer from his right to a place in the
great brotherhood of man. Why are
you here to-night ? Not to heat me
speak; I know it well. I am but a
voice, faintly striving to give expres
sion to your desire to aid the cause of
Christian charity, which for near nine
teen hundred years has been the cause
of true civilisation, of the Irue republic,
of liberty, equality, fraternity, reaching
as far as the broad earth extends, as
deep as the sea ot human sorrow—not
in word alone or seeming, not in any
action that a man might play, but in
work, in acts of quiet, silent, practical
benevolence. Philosophers may theo
rize ; philanthropy may sigh ; religion
feels not only for goffering, but with
suffering, and flies to its relief. Look
around you. You need not look far to
find sorrow that every natural tie, every
generous impulse, every wise purpose,
every manifest duty, call yon to pity
and assuage. The voice of mourning
comes to you, not from far away, not
from beyond the Atlantic, not doubtful
or softened or subdued by distance, but
from near at hand and in tone3 too
real, too clear, too poignant, to be
unheard or forgotten. Here in this
American republic—here among a peo
ple knit together by every bond that
common language, lineage, inherit
ance, interest, and hope, could weave—
here among States not yet one hundred
years united—have come civil dissen
sion, discord, civil war. Aye, in this
favored land, on whose broad -expanse,
illimitable fertility, unending loveliness,
humanity weary of the error, follies,
crimes of the elder world, might not
without reason have hoped to find its
lost Eden.
Here, whero nature loved to trace,
As if for gods, a dwelling place,
And every charm and grace hath mix’d
Within the paradise ehe fix'd ;
There man, enamor’d of distress,
Should mar it into wilderness,
And trample, brute like, o’er each flower,
That tasks not one laborious hour,
Nor eiaims the culture of biß band
To bloom along the fairy land ;
But springs as to preclude ite care
And sweetly woes him—but to spare.
Strange that where all is peace beside,
There passion riots in her pride,
And strife and discord wildly reign
To darken o’er the fair domain.
It is as thongh the fiends prevail’d
Against the seraphs they assail’d,
And, fixfd on heavenly thrones, should
dwell
The freed inheritors of hell.
Shall I go on ? Need I say more?
Do you not know that throughout the
Southern States there is distress, hunger,
misery in every form, some at least of
which money may relieve. There the
pride of the people is broken, their
hopes arc wrecked, their dearest, fond
est memories linger over graves. The
storm of war, like the red blast from
hell, haa swept across the land, and left
utter desolation in its track. Xu regions,
but a few years ago rich in fertility and
bloom, neither homestead, nor barn, nor
fence, nor harvest can now be seen.
Sheep aud shepherd, ploughman and
plough, cattle and herdsman, sewer and
Beed,ali arp gone, and few remain, save
those who are too weak to work—the
■widows and orphans of the blighted land.
There comes from it no loud voiced
lamentution—no mendicant appeal. Rut
if your hearts listen, they can hear the
low sigh of hearts whose sorrow is too
deep tor other utterance. Oh, forget
politics, forget faction, forget prejudice.
Jjet no angry thought break this truce
of God. Listen with all your hearts, as
the riuniaratiu ot old listened to the cry
of distress that led him to hasten to the
succor of he knew not whom. Aye ;
who was that wounded wayfarer that had
fallen among thieves ? Had not his own
iudiscretiou contributed to his misfor- ,
tune. * Like enough the Pharisee so
questioned aud went hia way. Waa it
altogether respectable tc be seen in
such doubtful company ? Perhaps the
Levite was not clear on that point, and
so he left the woended alone. The
Samaritan did not question, did not
think, did not argue, or doubt,or reason,
but listening to the voice of Heaven
within him, ha aaw before hiui a suffer
ing man, and could not choose but help
bon and pour balm into his wounds,
end tend him aa brother by brother
should be tended. There is a wisdom of
the heart better—far better than all the
wisdom of the bend. Bnt I have heard
people say what can we do to relieve
this Southern distress?—-it is a calamity
too large for our little help. There are
times when trifhug services count for
much ; there are moments when even
a word of kindness frankly spoken is
worth more than the eloquence of the
orator or the schemes of the politlciatr..'
A cup of water is but little ; and yet
a cup of water, set within the reach of
fevered lips, may give a shock of pleas
ure to the frame more sweet than
draughts of nectar in happier times—
nay, dear and priceless In man’s drear
iest hours is the mere knowledge that he
is not all forsakeu and another of the
great family is near and feels. So let
oar help to these sorrowing women
and children in the South, be it
much or little* be given freely and
with all our hearts. Let others make
speeches about the South, refashion it,
reconstruct it* reorganise it, infuse into
its exhausted veins some of the energy,
and fever and unrest of the victorious
North. But while they proceed to re
construct, let us make haste to feed, and
let the future decide which effort has
been more timely or successful. Ido
not know. It may be that something in
ray blood makes it easier for me to un
derstand and sympathise with the sor
row that now afflicts the Southern com
munities. I am an Irishman, and the
bitter memories of defeat, the eternal
consciousness of have
darkly interwoven themselves into the
texture of Irish character, and given
even to its music—the last utterance
now left it —that wild and gloomy ca
dence which semetimes closes its mer
riest, wildest sallies with a sobof despair.
So it is that sympathy with sorrow is
innate to the Irish nature. “Non ignoro
mali miseriis succurrere disco.’’ But
not to those who have suffered alone
should human sympathy be familiar.
Wbat man can forsee his own future,
or say when he too may need the as
sistance of his fellow man. What
nation so great that it is above the
reach of vicissitude, or can assure to
itself any fixed term of power. There
is no manifest destiny. The future of
us all, nations as well as men, is be
yond our ken. The Old World is strewn
thick with ruins. Ruins ol empires,
cities, palaces, wharves, that once were
splendid, and are now silent and deso
late. cumber earth aud sea. Why did
these things perish ? By what accident,
or error, or crime of government, or
governed, was their decline brought
about? Wherein lays the secret of
their strength ? How was it lost? Who
knows? We speculate about these
things now and philosophize. But did
any man among them feel the warning
symptoms that told him of his country’s
doom. Did any thought of coming dan
ger cross the mind of the Assyrian
King as he sat him down to his last
carouse ? And when the phantom hand
wrote its awtul sentence, in letters of
fire, on the wall, who of ail his wise men
that trembled and grew pale, could tell
what the porteut meant? and so with
us, too, iu this imperial city. Spite of
all its opulence and splendor, and grace
and fair hopes, what man can say how
long these things are to last ? This ail
men must know, that soon or late all
tilings decay and peri-li, and all men
aud all communities, some time in their
career, need the help from others,
which they themselves have freely given
or selfishly withheld. But however that
be, generosity never hurt man or nation.
Magnanimity is the truest policy, and
mercy can win more lasting victories
than sword.
In these stormy days of ours, the
Catholic Church has been at its post,
has striven to do its duty on the
battle field, in the camp, in the hos
pital ; its trained and disciplined min
isters have been at hand, and men who
had heard of the grand old creed ol
Christendom, only from its defaulters,
have learned to know it and respect it
in its works of charity and broad and
liberal benevolence. I heard a few
days ago, from a Southern man, a story
illustrative of this. In a Southern
Hospital, during the war. a Confederate
soldier lay dying. By his side sat a
priest, vainly endeavoring to raise his
thoughts to the new world he was so
soon to enter. The poor fellow under
stood nothing about it; he had never
heard of the simplest truths of religion.
They had not taught him these things
where he came from. “But I’ll tell
you what, stranger,” said he; “though
1 never heard of them things—of hell,
and heaven, and purgatory —1 heard of
angels, and I know one too.” The
priest was silent with astonishment.
“Look ye here, stranger,” continued
the soldier, “do you see that ere gal
down there—there moving about around
them beds? that gal with the big white
bonnet—now that’s an angel, it ever
there was an angel,” aud he pointed to
a Sister of Charity near by. “Now,
stranger,” said he, “I don’t know you,
or what you are talking about ; but I
know the gal with the big white bonnet;
just call her here, and whatever she
says is right and true. I go that, if
you like.” And so the Bister of Charity
sat also by hi3 side, and, as she bade
him, he consented to believe, and thus
his life ebbed away ; and perhaps, who
knows, the angel face he met beyond
the dark river bore a glorified resem
blance to that of the “gal with the big
white bonnet." Well, you ladies can’t
all be “gals with big white bonnets,”
aud, perhaps, don’t care to be. Female
tastes on that subject are apt to vary.
But you can perlorm some angel’s work
for all that. You remember when
Shylock would have his pound of flesh,
and refused to abate one jot of what
was nominated in tho bond. You re
member how eloquently the young
doctor of Rome pleaded to him, and
strove to soften his heart.
The quality of mercy is not stained ;
It droppctli as tbe gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath ; it is twice bless’d;
It blesseth him that gives, aud him that
takes;
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it bcomes
Tho tbrofied monarch better tbun his
crown j
His sceptre shows the force of temporal
power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of
kings.
But mercy is above this sceptred sway ;
It is enthroned in tbe hearts of king,,
It is an attribute of Uod himself,
And earthly power doth them show likest
God’s
When mercy seasons justice.
Thorofore, though justice bo tby pica,
consider this:
That in the courts of justice none of ns
should see salvation. Wo do pray for
mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to
render deeds of mercy.
Ah, fair young Roman Doctor of
Laws, gentle lady of Belmont, mas
querading it for pastime, but growing
into serious earnest in the presence of
danger and warming with all the fire
and eloquence and tetidsruess of her
woman’s nature in her struggle to set
pity and mercy in that uncongenial
heart, had we among our modern wo
men such heads and such hearts, could
they plead as she did for mercy, for
charity and reconciliation, the wounds
of civil discord would soon tie healed
and the light of peace and Union shine
forth again over this racked and tortured
land. Sisters, be kind at least to your
sisters iu the South, and let your house
hold influence— the true realm of wo
man's dominion—soften and elevate
natures less fine, than your own 4 and
thus, across ihe sea of sorrow, as dark
and dreary as ever tempest tossed, the
light may shine again y the light which
of old shed its ray Ton the Lake of
Galilee and lulled its waves to rest; the
light that for nineteen hundred years,
in all their clouds and storm, has never
been wholly extinguished, sometimes
dimmed and flickering, but ever re
newed, the pure and steady light, in
which all the rays are blended and
commingled, ot Christiau charity aud
mercy and faith and hope.
—A wife who often stormed at her
husband was sitting with him at the
breakfast table, when suddenly, amid
coughs, she exclaimed, “Dear me! a
hit of pepper has got into my windpipe.”
Hurricane pipe, you mean,” cooly re
joined her sarcastic spouse.
—Rents and board are coming down
in New York City. The columns of
the dailies there show that good board
can be procured in respectahle parts of
the city for three and lour dollars per
week, and lodging rooms at proportion
ate rates.
Mrs. Wilbv kicked a conductor in
the mouth, at Erie, Penn , because that
unhappy man would not let herself and
and husband get on the train without
showing their tickets. All exchange
thinks Mrs. Wilby has anew way of
showing her *
—“lt is very difficult to live,” said a
widow with seven girls, all in genteel
poverty. “You must husband your
time,’’ said a friend. “I had rather
husband some of my daughters,” said
the poor lady.
—France has made a commercial
treaty with Peru particularly providing
for the export of guano and borax.
—The number of American visitors
to Jerusalem during the last few months
has been greater thau that of any other
nation, the Russians excepted.
