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.
