FATHER MATHEWS RETURN TO IRELAND.

! Father MATHEW, on his return to Ireland from
the United States, was received by his countrymen
with every demonstration of regard and esteem.
The Common Council of Cork presented him with
an address of congrauation, to which he responded
IN speech of much feeling and eloquence, in the
course of which he thus referred to the people of
the United States, and the manner in which he was
received by them:
"No language, gentlemen, which you could frame can
sufficiently express the of our common oblca-
ton nobehearted and generous citizens of Ame-
rlca Hear hear You have had ocular demonstration
OF their bountful sympathy when in the day of tribu-
aon, you witnessed in your magnificent harbor the
spangled banner proudly floating the fgae James
town. the distribution Of whose precious freight Ia great
nations spontaneous offering the affairs of humanity
saved nnumerabe lives within the precincts of our ia
mne-stricken country have travelled thousands Of
miles in the great Western Republic and never have ex
perenced not only in the Capitol but through the wide
extent of America aught but respect and kindness from
its highminded citizens. [Hcar hear My transatlantic
tour is aught with thousand fond "reminiscences never
to be forgotten [hear hear and ferventy hope that
the strong feelings of sympathy and friendship which now
exist between the people of Ireland and America may
tnue as permanent and durable the many virtues they
possess in common Loud and long continued applause
Your alusion to my dear expatrated countrymen whom
had the happiness meet in the great republic and the
greater happiness OF enrolling among my disciples, has
touched chord which vbrates through my whole frame
Though painfully struck with the sad contrast which our
dearly beloved country presents in many particulars with
the favored land which have recently left yet no
reason for apathy despair Ireand-his is not the
place to investigate the cause-s passing through
severe transitory ordeal from which trust she will ere
long brightly emerge and enter that glorious Of
national prosperity to which her ample resources now in
progress of development, most naturally entitle her.

indications of spirit Of industrial activity and enter
prise which, combined with selfreance and persever-
ance fail effect for her that social regeneration
which it has already accomplished for many nations in
the history Of mankind" Renewed applause

Hymn to the Sum.

BY II. w. HERBERT.
Mute be the skies and still,
Silent earth haunted hill
And valley deep!
Let earth and oceans breast,
And all the breezes rest
Let every echo sleep!
Unshorn his ringlets bright.
He comes-the lord of light
Lord of the Tyre.
Morn lifts her lids of snow,
Hinged with a rosy glow,
To greet thee, glorious sire.
Climbing, with winged feet
OF fiery coursers fleet,
Heavens arch profound.
Far through the realms of air,
From out thy sunny hair,
Thou flingest radiance round.
Thine are the living streams
OF bright immortal beams
The founts of day!
Before thy path careers
The chorus of the spheres,
With wild rejoicing lay.
The sad and silver moon,
Before thy gorgeous noon
Slow gliding by,
Joys in her placid soul
To see around her roll
Those armies of the sky.

DEsPIsING HOUSEHOLD DUTIEs-From
variety of causes, nothing is more COM
mon than to find American women who
have not the slightest idea of household du-
ties. A writer thus alludes to this subject /:
"In the neglect of household cares, Ameri-
can women stand alone. A German lady,
no matter how lofty her rank, never forgets
that domestic labors conduce to the health
of body and mind alike. An English lady,
whether she be only gentlemens wife or
dukes, does not despise the household,
and even though she has housekeeper. de-
votes portion Of her time to this her
true, her happiest sphere. 1t is preserved
for our republican fine ladies to be more
choice than even their monarchical and aris-
tocratic sisters. The result is a lassitude of
mind ofsen as fatal to health as the neglect
of bodily exercise The wife who leaves
her household cares to the servants pays
the penalty which has been affixed to idle
ness since the foundation of the world,
and either willis away from ennui, or
is driven into all sorts of fashionable fol-
lies to find employment for her mind.''

COPS GOODNESS IN NATURE.--God
made the present earth as the home of man;
but had he meant it as mere lodging, a
world less beautiful would have served the
purpose. There was no need for the carpet
of yerdure, or the ceiling of blue-no need
for the mountains and cataracts and forests
no need for the rainbow, no need for the
showers, no need for the flowers. A big
round island, half of it pasture, with clump
of trees in one corner, and magazine OF
fuel in another, might have held and fed ten
millions of people, and hundred islands all
made on the same pattern. big and round,
might have held and fed the population of
the globe.
But man in something more than the ami
NAL who wants lodging and food. He has
spiritual nature, full Of keen perceptions
and deep sympathies. The kind Creator
has provided mans abode with affluent ma
terials for these nobler tastes. He has built
Mount Blanc, and molten the lakes in which
its shadow sleeps He has intoned Niagara S
thunder. and has breathed the zephyr which
sweeps its spray. He has made world Of
fragrance and music-a world of brightness
and symmetry world where the grand
and the graceful, the awful and the lovely,
rejoice together. In fashioning the home
Of man, the Creator had an eye to something
more than convenience, and built not bar.

"A Case of Sad Interest.

A writer in the Springfield Mass. Re-
publican, from the Insane Retreat In W0r-
csster, mentions the following:
There is small pond in the garden. Just
opposite the pond l saw woman, humbly
blessed looking in the water.
seThat poor woman. said the Doctor. has
oeen here for several years. She assists in
the kitchen, and is perfectly harmless. al
though incurable She is the wife of an in
dustrious man, living in an adjoining town.
They had family of three boys, two Of
whom died suddenly of the scarlet fever
Within week of their burial, the mother
proceeded to a pond near by for some water.
AS she was dipping her pail, she saw some-
thing just beneath the surface which attract
ed her attention, and, taking wooden rake,
she pulled it to the bank it proved to be
the body of her remaining child. A wal
nutshell, with piece of paper stuck in the
centre, was floating upon the water, which.
no doubt, sailing from the reach Of the child,
caused him to stretch for it, lose his balance,
and be drowned Before sunset, she was
mad, raving mad ard was brought bere.-
1t is her daily custom to watch that water
for few moments, just at the hour she dis
covered the body Of her child, and then to
return quietly to her work. But if she was
not allowed to do So which by the way Of
experiment., has been tried, violent fits and
convulsions would follow"
"You say she is incurable." said l.
"Quite so, we think y Under superin
tendence," continued the doctor. "she is
quiet and useful here but without it she
would be even dangerous"
While he was speaking, the mother, whose
bereavement of her children had driven her
mad forever, turned upon her heel, and
with her face turned to the earth, walked
slowly toward the house. As she approach
ed the doctor called to her, and dropping a
low courtesy, she stood looking at us.

preston might chill the blood like the keen
east wind, and the power Of sympathizing
with them be very limited But of all that

one | now looked upon, in utter absence of
all life's sunshine. Pale, ashley pale, were
her features; her lips were hueless, and her
eyes sunken; her lower jaw dropped almost
upon her breast, and looked like grief per-
sonifed
'Poor creature exclaimed the doctor.
"what wretchedness of mind is there de-

"No wonder" replied he. "For FIVE

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.-Not many
days since, We were witness to !: scene which
bore beautiful evidence of the undying ma
ture of mothers love. Ten or eleven
years ago, a journeyman printer, employed
in this office, died in our village, and was
buried in Trinity Church Yard. His moth
er, poor widow lived in Baltimore The
death of her only child left her alone in the
world-no one remained to smooth her
pathway to the grave. AS soon as she be-
came able, she marked her loved son S rest
ing place with neat marble slab, bearing
"a suitable inscription. Any heart but a
mothers would have been satisfied with this
but hers yearned for companionship with
him, even in death. BY unwearied exer-
tions, she succeeded in amassing money
enough to purchase a quiet nook in Green
mount Cemetry, where she wished that the
ashes of her son might lie beside her own,
when her lone pilgrimage on earth might be
ended Accordingly, she came to our vii
lage a few days since, to disinter the remains
of her son and transport them to the place
she had prepared for them.
This incident would be uninteresting un-
der dissimilar circumstances; but in this
case, they are fraught with peculiar inter
est. This fond mother devoted the last ten
years of her life to such labor as she could
perform, with the sole object of being near
her son in DEATH Had she been wealthy,
the act would have been of small interest ;
but for ten weary years has this been the
darling and only object Of her desire. With
what pleasure must she have looked for

down with age, and having satisfied the
prompting of her heart, she awaits the sum-
mons of death with calmness.

BILLY BowLEGs IN FLoRIDA-The New
ark Mercury states that a gentleman in
that city who has son in Florida, has re-
ceived letter from him, dated Fort Mead
ow, Florida, from which we make the follow
ing extract 1t would seem that Billy has
very little disposition to leave Florida
"Billy Bowlegs, Grand Sachem of the
Seminoles in Florida, has returned to Tam
pa and taken passage for Fort Myers. His
joy on embarking for Fort Myers knew
no bounds. He leaped and yelled, cursed
and swore like a crazy man, and during his
caperings he tore new suit of citizens
clothes into thousand ribbons. About this
time soldier at Tampa said, Now Billy,
give us the war whoop.' Billy stood as if
riveted to the spot, his eyes seemed to send
forth sparks of fire, and drawing himself up
to his full height, he exclaimed in low yet
passionate voice, by blood when you do
hear the war whoop your blood will curdle
in your veins" In reply to a question put
to him by an officer at Tampa, so you are
going to leave Florida, are you" oh, yes,
| told them so in Washington but Id
if do it though If he don't go, and that
very soon Uncle Sam will find way to
make them leave-either by steamboat, or
by blood" They can take their choice"
