Fatl.er Mathew.


The famous apostle oftemperanee, Father MATHEW,
arrived in Philadelphia the 26th ultimo from N
York & was soournng in the former city the guest
of Bishop KENR1cK The Northern papers state that he
at present ENJOYING excellent health and looks hale
and hearty but that he fears the effect of the North
ern climate upon his health, and that in accordance
with the advice of his physician he intends to spend
the winter at the South.
Should Father MATHEW favor us with a visit this
winter we induced to believe that the people of
the South need entertain fears of any imprudent
steps his part, and that the intercourse will be
mutually OF such character as will not fail to
cure friendlness and good feeling on either side
for we have too much confidence in his natural good
sense and integrity, especially since we have noticed
the position he took towards the fanatics of the Gar
rsonian school, to indulge for moment the thought
that he would do otherwise than confne his mission
to the South exclusively to the advancement of the
great cause of Temperance in which he has so long,
so ardently and successfully been enlisted. What
ever may have been his views in regard to the nsti-
buttons so closely affecting and intimately blended
with the interest of the South forced to the
conclusion, from observing his conduct since his in
tention of visiting the United States first express
ed that he has not designed to interfere with any of
the local interests of the country In regard to his
favorite cause of Temperance, firmly convin-
ced that it is as dear to the hearts of the people

prosperity and arc taking as active measures to
promote this great and philanthropic object, the

OPINION OF A ScoTcH TRAvELLER.-The London
Meas publishes letter from gentleman native
Of Scotland, travelling this continent. It is
evidently from the pen of intelligent candid and
observant person. is written with great good feeling
and takes strong common-sense view of things
The following extract relative to the popular feeling
in Canada is worthy of notice:
Il had often read of the contrast presented be-
tween the American and Canadian Shores but could
not have comprehended it in all its fullness unless
had witnessed it with my own eyes. On the side
all is lfe activity and prosperity the other it is
like the stiffness of death. Montreal is very fine
city, more like European town than anything have
yet seen on the American continent; but here too
the universal complaint is, that their trade is gone
Unless heard it with my own ears could scarcely
have credited the widespread feeling that exists
for annexation to the United States The mercantile
classes seemed to me to be unanimous in its favor
and one cannot wonder at it, when you find merely
nominal line separating them from the prosperity o.
their immediate neighbors. | was not surprised
therefore, at the declaration cmanating from Mon
treal, which went home by last steamer but look up
on it one of the steps in great movement which
must ultimately terminate in the separation of these
colonies from Britain. Press and people are decar
ing for it, and come it must, although pcrhrps no
quite so ardent spirits seem to thinl
! likely

The week is past, its latest ray
Is vanished with the closing day;
And tits as far beyond our grasp
It's now departing hours to clasp,
As to recall that moment bright
When first creation sprang to light.
The week is past and has it brought
Some beams of sweet and soothing thought;
And has it left some memory dear
Of heavenly raptures tasted here,
Although it ne'er returned again!
And who would sigh for its return
We are but pilgrims born to mourn;
And moments, as they onward flow,
Cut short the thread of human wo,
And bring US nearer to the scenes
Where sorrows end and heaven berins
