An AMERICAN ATTACKED BY CATHOLICS
BrUtdldnd Unproroked Assault. On Sunday
afternoon, says the New York Tribune of
Monday, man named Joseph Oldridge, liv-
ing at No. 1e4 East Twenty-Sixth street,
while engaged in distributing tracts of a
religious character in Tompkins square, was
observed by the Irish Catholics as they ,emer-
ged from their cathedral, near where he was
Taking him for Know Nothing, Robert
Bernard and others pounced upon him and
beat him in a most unmerciful manner and,
if a correct opinion can be formed from the
actions intended to take his life, bestowing
sundry kicks and heavy blows while he was
laying prostrate on the Ground. So, in SUBJ
stance, is the report of Captain Hartt, of the
18th ward Police, this (Monday1 morning to
Chief Matsell.
The alarm of murder was raised by the
unfortunate and dunofendingm man, when officer
White ran to his assistance, and no doubt
was the means of saving his life. Other Do
licemen soon appeared and prevented the
commission Of further violence by the riot
Gus gang. Bernard, who was foremost in
this disgraeeful assault, was arrested and
taken before Justice Welsh, who committed
him to prison for trial.

May the Lord open the eyes and hearts OF
grog-dealing professors of religion and
may He open the eyes of the church too,
and stir them up to their duty, that they
may either pursuade their members to quit
the demoralizing traffic, or else, at once,
cut them off from all connection with her
body.
As long as the church gives counten-
ance and encouragement to the traffic, she
need not expect men of the world to be
Better than themselves and fight against it.
What can save both? Aprohibitory LAW; ;
and it should be the hearts desire of all
christian men, and women too. They
should pray for it and work for it, day and
night, until our whole land shall be freed
/ from the curse of .rlm--the direst curse
that ever befel the race of mortals. We
/ should desire such law, not only for the
| sake d ssse poor draBkaAa sad the more
guilty dram-seller out of the church, but
also for the dram-drinking and dram-selling
profession an the church, whose conduct
and whose example is stumbling stone
to many, and rock of offence to all
Dark and benighted indeed must be The
mind Of that professor of Christ, whose OBJ
legations to his God, his neighbor and him
self are so little understood and cared for
that he can deliberately, and with malic'
aforethought, set up low, contemplate
rum hole, which must eventually corrup
! himself, corrupt his neighborhood, and for
> ever ruin the souls of all who patroniz
E him. Such business, for professor Q
christianity to follow, in this day, whel
: every man can, if he will, be enlightene
:. on the evils and horrors of the liquor traffic
. is absolutely and positively the most ur
. pardonable and fragrant outrage, that coul
= be perpetrated against any church, by on
of her members We cannot think of
even, without feeling of complete abhol
). renee and most unmitigated loathing, fc
: both the man and his occupation; aud "
= are satisfied that nothing short of the stron
arm of the law will ever bring such bas
- minded pretenders to their senses, and the
- grog-dens to speedy overthrow.

WHIsKEY ARIsToCRAcY.-There is the
aristocracy of wealth, Of intellect, Of Goldfish
the arislocracy of Williams and would yop
suppose it, drunken aristocracy.
The most singular being the above men
toned lists Of arlstocracy is the upper ter
drunkard. With what airs he lords it over
the lower grades Of the same profession; be
associates with no ole but those in the same
grade, and standing in the profession as
himself; he visits none but most respectable
drinking houses, Che turns his nose up at a
picayune house) drinks none but the most
respectable liquor, and pays his respectable
dime for it-which the respectable barkeeper
drops into his respectable till, and it is a res
rectable business throughout; and if he be.
comes respectfully drunk, he is only some
what ercited.'
He would scorn to be seen in the compa-
; ny of common drunkards. But anon he gets
a grade and still another grade lower until
he is with the lowest and most loathsome
grade of drunkards, watching about rum
mills to lick the glasses of the chance droE
that may have been at the bottom. Respec
table drinkers, stop ere it is too late.
This is the inverse rule of progress in The
drunkard's scale of graduation. He neve
rises, but always sinks lower and lower in the
scale of being as long as he adheres to tn,

A NEwsPAPER.-It was Bishop Horn
er's opinion, that there is no better moralist
than a newspaper. He says THE follies,
vices, and consequent miseries of multi
tudes displayed in a newspaper, are SO
many beacons continually burning to turn
others from the rock on which they have
been shipwrecked. What, more powerful
disuasiyive from suspicion, jealousy and
anger than the story of one friend muir
dered by another in duel 4? What caution
likely to be more efectual against gambling
. and profiigacy, than the mOuraful relation
Of an execution or the fate of despairing
suicide I What finer lecture on the neces-
sity Of economy, than the auctions of es-
tates, houses and furniture Only take a
newspaper, and consider it well-payt for Il,
and it will instruct thee

HoME.-Your dreams ofreputation, your
swift determination, your impulsive pride,
your deem utt1reA.yaYs to win name, have
all sobered into affection; have an blended
into that flow ofaeling which finds its centre
and hope and JOY n Home. From my soul |
pity him whose soal does not leap at the mere
utterance Of that name A home is the
bright, blessed, adorned phantom which sits
highest on the sunny horizon that girdeth
life. When shall it be reached? When
shall it cease to be glittering day dream,
and become fully and fairly yours.
1t is not the house, though that may have
lis charms, not the fields carefully titled, and
streaked with yor own foot paths; nor the
trees, though their shadow be to you like
that of a giant rock in weary land: nor
yet is it the fire SIDE with its sweet blazeplay !;
not the pictures which tell of loved ones, nor
the cherished books-but more far than all
these-it is the presence. The Lares Of
your worship are there the altar of your con-
fdence is there the end of your worldly
faith is there; and adorning it all and sending
your blood in passionate flow, is the ecstacy
of conviction, there at least you are beloved
that there you misunderstood, and there youl
errors will ever meet with gentlest forgive
ness and there your troubles will be smiled
away that there you may uuburden you
soul, fearless of harsh unsympathizing ears
that there you may be entirely and joyfully
I-yourself
There may be those ofcoarse mould-anc
have seen such even in the disguise ofwomeu
f who will reckon these feelings pulling sent

bout hundred Of those who had been hurled
for many years, were now restored to life
There were fathers who found their 10 lost
daughters ; wives were restored to their
husbands, sisters to their brothers, and par

who could recognize no friend among the
multitude. The scene was such asno tongue
