FATHER MATHEW continued MS good work, with
success at the Catholic church yesterday. Though
in feeble health, he devotcs himself unremittingly
and enthusiastically to the he has so heartily
espoused. His success is wonderful Since he
commenced, he has pledged over millions Of
people, and, as he says no one of them has ever up
braided him for inducing them to live life of tenn
perance and sobriety. Many have doubtless viola
ted their promises, and walked the paths Of drunk
cnness; but allowing one halt, even one seventh
of this great number to have been thoroughly re.
formed by his influence and through his means
and he may justly be regarded the greatest prac-
teal philanthropist OF the age.
Father NJ. usually prccedes the giving of the
pledge, at the meetings, with what may be called
temperance sermon, full of practical religious
truths and exhortation. His illustrations and texts
are almost wholly drawn from the Bible, and judg-
ing by what we have heard during his stay here
these discourses would do honor every respect to
any christian pulpit in the land. Nowhere have
we heard the blessings Of life of virtue, and the
miseries of life of wickedness and intemperance
more strongly, practically, and regousy stated
Those who desire to take the pledge kneel around
the altar, and repeat from his mouth the following
declaration: 81 promise, with the Divine assist
ance, to abstain from all intoxicating liquors. in
Guiding cordias, cider, malt and fruit liquors; and
to discourage as far possible, by advice and
example, intemperance in Others Sometimes
the words vary, but they are always essentially
these. He then gives them his blessing and nvokes
on them that OF Heaven to enable them to keep the
promise they have made. The recipients remain
kneeling while he passes along the whole line,
making the sign of the cross ALL saying an en-
couraging word to some, and kissing all the chill
dren, large number of whom have taken the
pledge here.
Up to last evening, Father M. had enrolled in
Springfield twelve hundred persons in all. They
We're mostly foreigners by birth or parcntagc, and
included, as the larger proportion, women and
children. Among those whom we saw receive the
pledge, was one man who was nearly sshalf seas
over" but he seemed determined to shake off the
vice, and we hope has taken his last drink of the
liquid fire.
In consequence of his feeble health, and of having
experienced while here symptoms of fresh return
of paralysis of his SIDE Father Mathew has deemed
originally purposed. He will go to Hartford this
afternoon, and, after giving the pledge there dur
ing the Sabbath, proceed on Monday TO Philadel.

there will permit, to Charleston, S. C.-Sping6eId

An English writer uses the following language
in reference to the conduct of daily paper:
SIN itself il appears nothing. The labor is not
manifest nor is il the labor but ii is the continual
attention which il requires. Your life becomes, as
it were, the very publication. One paper is no
sooner corrected and printed, than on comes an
other II is the stone Of Sisyphus, endless repe-
tition of toll, constant weight upon the mind
continual wearing upon the intellect and spirits,
and demanding all the exerton of your faculties at
the same time that you compelled to do the
severest drudgery. To write for daily paper is
very WELL but 10 edit one is to condemn yourself to
slavery"
There is so much truth in this remark, that we
cannot forbear giving it place in columns.
The reader Of daily journal is unconscious Of the
immense labor required to produce the sheet that
