In ireland, grand movement has been made on the
Temperance subject, and very valuable tribute has
been raised from the sale of Temperance tickets
to those pious Irishmen who wished to give evil
dence of their sobriety and cod-water disposition.
Father Matthew it is said, has raised good 500,
OOO by the sale of these ticketa revenue equal to
that of Dan O'Connell's " rint." In Old England"
the same activity and zeal prevail; but ii takes a
decided direction to the antique and classical 1t

Isn't this droll affair to be enacted in enlightened
England, in the midst of the civilization OF the nine
teenth century, Yet Il is not so than is taking
place before our eyes every day. We are credbly
informed that some project OF similar Kind Is coz
templated by the Catholic Bishop Of this diocese;
III
a member, and send for his fees. What funny
age Of the world We live in There is nothing toe
absurd either in religion, politics, morals or finance
that don't find its adorers and devotees. In the
early ages Of Europe, at the subverson OF the Ro-
man empire BY the barbarians, the organization and
esprit dn corps Of the church Of Rorae, neces-
sary to preserve the very seeds of civilization,
which have in time grown up TO the light OF the
present tunes The various religious societies and
corporations, as fantastic the fancios OF man,
grew up in process Of time, only to be corrected
and swept away by the intellectual light OF the
great Reformation. For let Catholics say what
we please, the church Of Rome benefited, puri-
fed, and improved by the opposition Of Luther and
Calvin, in the same way that the opposition to Mr.
Van Bsrens party forces the latter TO be occasion
ally decent and not to cheat the public over few
dirty millions per annum. But in this emil ghtened
age of the world the Catholic priesthood, who
are not ignorant unlearned men, attempt to revive
the absurdites Of past ages is only laughable and
ridiculous, Of that kind exhibited in the laughing
chorus Of Der Freischutz.
However we live in a droll time. Not an opinion
however outre-not a sect, however absurd-net :
doctrine, however preposterous, but starts on it'
own hook, and attempts to reform the world on it,
own plan. In this multitude Of opinions some trutf
may be elected If Bishop Dubois wishes TO estab
lish Holy Gid Of Saint Joseph and our Blessed
Lady" in New York we say to him to go ahead. Put
down a member will go any absurdty wher
the Virgin Mary is properly respected and adored
