Sisters of Charity.

The trustees of the Mount Hope In
sane Asylum, located near Baltimore,
in their recent report of the management
and affairs Of the institution, speak thus
Of the Sisters of Charity who have charge
of the patients:
Their nurses, the Sisters of Charity,
sustained by the highest and hottest of
all the considerations that can influence
human action, and looking for their re-
ward not to this world, but to the life
beyond the tomb, are enabled to with
stand without frown of displeasure, the
utmost contumely and bitterness of Lam
guage that the unconscious maniac may
heap upon her. Here, by the couch Of
the most sorely stricken, and suffering of
earth, amidst the widest excitement and
frenzy, they stand calm and self-posses-
sd, ready TO bestow freely upon all theif
profound sympathies and charitable Off
ces. Whatever may be the abuse her pcd
upon theaI, however much the patientmay
repsA anA resist their attentions they do
but the more endeavor to soothe the
tempest Of the mind, by expressions of
tender solicitu1e, and by oft repeated
acts of Kindness.
3" This unwavering devotion of the
hearts warmest sympathy and the bo-
dies best energies, is extended to all
without reference to religious faith, or
sex or country. The Sisters ask no
questions as to theological tenets. They
Interfere with no patients religious pre-
possessions, and they make no distinction
whatever based upon this. Whether
Protestant or Catholic, the same self
sacrificing zeal and the same absorption
OF their best energies in the one great
purpose of alternating human suffer
ing are displayed to all In the heav-
en-born calling to which their lives are
consecrated that of administering to
the relief of suffering humanity-the
daughters Of st. Vincent de Paul find no
place IN their hearts for human preiu-
dice. Here their charitable Offices are
meted out to all, without discrimination
the urgency for the claim of relief
constituting the sole matter of consider
alton"
The Baltimore American, one of the
metropolitan organs of Know-nothiugism
IN Maryland, selects this extract and
gives it publication. How does this
square with the denunciations which the
Know-nothings of our State are contin-
ually heaping upon the religious orders
Of the Catholic Church? How does it
comport with the disgracefu libels which,
within the last three years, have been
published against the Sisters of Charity !?
The few frenzied bigots with whom God
has seen tit TO curse our own commune
ty, should read this testimonial to the
virtue and utility of the order of Sisters
of Charity, and bow their heads in shame
ofthe malicious, raneorous SANDERS which
they have hcaped upon better Christians
than themselves. -HagcrSto,on Nail.

&.y- Maekay, The English poet, irav-
eller, scribbler and critic, now travelling
in the Southern States, aud lately en-
gagged in vesifying the virtues of North
ern freedom, is collecting his materials
for enlightening his friends on America
and Americans. Because the Philadel-
phians refused to patronize his lectures
as much as his purse craved it of them,
he has put forth his battery of English
spleen against their city, aud in his out
pourings says, st the whole place is
formal mean, precise, and unattractive. +"
BY " formal, he means the Philadel-
phians bowed him out of their city very
politely; by mean he means that
they could not appreciate his poetic ge-
MUS at his own valuation; by pre-
else, r" that they regulated him to his
last penny; and by unattractive," that
they have native contempt for the
whole tribe of English tourists. The
spirc of independence Hall struck him
as the worst possible model of anything
he ever saw in the world. No wonder.
