Rafher Mathew,

In the death of Father Mathew the world has
lost q genuine philanthropist, one of the few
whose actions speak louder than their words
Amidst his immense abors for the promotion OF
Temperance, he never acquired dollar, though al
the time suffering under the pressure Of poverty
He administered the pledge to multitudes in he
land England and the United States. His refined
and bene violent countenance will not soon be for
gotten By any who ever looked upon the man
Finally, the British Government settled Az anuui
ty of $500 upon him, which sum was just sutfi
cient to pay the premium upon an insurance pc
Icy held by his creditors as security for their
claims Father Mathew was born in Thomastown
Ireland, Oct 10, $780, and died at Cork on the 9th
of December.
