PLEASURES OF READING.-Every head>ef
a family should feel it incumbent upon hsIn
to provide suitable reading for those under
his charge. Eut it must be recoilected that
there is much issued from the press totally
unfit for q respectable, moral circle. We
trust our people will bear this in mind, and
see that our Star and Messenger is placed
in every Catholic household in the South.
AS mere amusement, there is nothing like
reading newspaper or book. 1t calls for
NO bodily exertion, of which the man has
had enough, perhaps too much. 1t relieves
his home of dullness and sameness. Nay,
it accompanies him to his next days work,
4 and gives him something to think of besides
themere mechanical drudgery of his every
day occupation-something he can enjoy
while absent, and look forward to with
pleasure. But we aim at something beyond
mere pleasure. We purpose to issue paper
thaSwin not merely amuse, but likewise
instruct and edify.

= Communicated
Rights Of Foreign Born Citizens.

1hr. Editor: The foregoing subject is one
whiclfis causing great excitement through
out the length and breadth of this CONT
ject deserves. 1t seems to the writer of this
article an inalienable right-a right con-
ferfed by the laws of nations ON man-to
emigr1tc, or transfer his abode from one
State to another, or from one country to an
other, whenever he finds it to his interest.
Had this right not been recognized by our
ancestors, the red man would now be hunt
ing the buffalo on York Island. Our coun-
try has recognized this right to be inherent
in man, while European monarchs, rather
tyrants, as in all other things, have denied
this right to their vassals, OF subjects, IN
less they complied with certain laws, and
obtained passports. There is no doubt but
nations should see that their country should
not suffer any detriment from the free adj
mission of foreigners, especially from sus-
picious characters, or persons banished for
bad. conduct, from their own countries Of
course good and moral people are an &C
QUESTION to any country, and such an emf
grafton should never cause any apprehension
of danger.
The question to be solved now in Congress
is, whether the subject of one government
can emigrate and acquire the rights of citi=
zensfip in another. The writer's opinion is
that he can and not only an ordinary citi-
zen, but even one who holds office, andeen=
sequently takes special oath to sustain his
own government. For, so long man
violates no law or justice or equity, it is
certain that the-law of nature binds him to
no certain place. But it might seem chat
when the laws of the nation wherein man
happens to be born, would prohibit his emil
grating, that he would be bound to comply
with the requirements of that law. Yet, as
these laws would seem to be too severe, nay

Ss.Josspil's HeW Church.

We perceive with pleasure that Rev.
Father Smith, of st. Joseph's parish of this
city is pushing forward with great activity
his preparations for the splendid new church
about to be erected by the La2arists, on
Common street, corner of Derbigny.
A magnificent new firemen's banner has
been donated toward the accomplishment
of this great work, and will be awarded to
the fire company receiving the greater
number of votes in q contest fer its posses
sion. This election and presentation will
come off at st. Joseph's new hall, on the
premises OF the contemplated structure, on
Mohday, the second of March next, under
the auspices of the ladies of st. Joseph's
parish church. OF course the occasion
will be a charming one, and great numbers
of the friends of alfparties viii undoubtedly
be present. The voting will be on the ORR
ginal plan, without reference to the eonsti-
tuition now being framed at the Mechanics
Institute. =
When we consider the interest that the
eleventh ward always takes in elections, we
may anticipate as earnest a contest as when
Senatorial election takes place in the Le-
gislature.
The triumph of the favored company will
be increased by the intrinsic value of the
prize. The, banner is q most beautiful
piece of art, made of silk and embroidered
in gold, in the best style Of the accomplished
Sisters of tho Good Shepherd. The design
| is highly appropriate, being the scene of a
burning house, and the battle between the
| deyouring element and the gallant fire de-
partment. Honor to the winner--we mean
in the election.
At the same time, and in behalf of the
same cause, the rattle for splendid iron
| grey horse will take place. This noble an
imal can be seen at the stable of Thomas
Marley s. Co., on Rampant street, and is
well worth competing for at the rate of one
dollar per chance.
= Considering the immense Improvement
in real estate always caused by the erection
of church, and accompanying establish
ments of one of the religious orders, we
can not doubt that property owners in that
portion of she city, without regard to reli-
! gious denominations, viii take an active
ir'..rAst in Forwarding this movement.

Dissemination Of the Morning Star.

Dissemination of the Morning star.
It is matter in which thesconductors Of
this paper take deep interest that it should
circulate thoroughly throughout the whole
Archdiocese. It is highly important that a
Catholic organ should appear upon this
field, and quite natural that the same sheet
should be adapted to the whole field. No
one can ignore the potency of the press in
the present age, and no one can be SO secure
as to stand above the reach of it's aid.
HTruth must prevail " but we are not, from
this fact, relieved Of the duty of giving
it all proper facilities. We must help our
selves, no matter how just-may DO our
cause.
Though,Ias general thing, politics pre-
sent open questions on which unity cannot
be expected among Catholics, yetsometimes
those political questions involve points
of faith or morals, and we must then pre-
sent an undivided front. There il no longer
liberty of ehoiee.-Already yin the North,
wo hear mutter;ngs Of storm of fanati-
cism, which may burst upon us ere long.
The meek and lowly followers of tho I" Tri-
,bunen have vented their holy rage upon
the institution Of slavery in such wise as
to tear it up by the roots, and they arenow
looking round for another "abomination. !"
When prescription of Catholics is proposed,
it viii present . political question, to which
there can he but ono aide for us. It would
not do in such q case to sit supinely and let
the truth take care of itself.
The<voice of our venerable Archbishop
has made itself heard on this subject; he
earnestly favors tho establishment of this
cation appears to be judicious, since it is
the centre ecclesiastical and commercial,
of the whole region upon which we call
for support. In political point of view,
it would seem desirable that the Catholic
organ of hisregion should be of the South
Southern. We have various excellent
and most interesting Catholic publications
ut the North, but they cannot be expected
to have as intimate knowledge of our
condition and our wants as if upon the
spot.
We therefore most earnestly call upon
all who are favorable to such an enterprise
to give us their earnest support and coop
Grafton. Especially do we urge upon the
venerable Bishops and reverend Clergy
outside of this city to take an active inter
est in the undertaking. They will find in
the sanction of the Most Rev. Archbishop
and the standing of the Clergymen whose
names are upon the list of Directors, ample
guarantee that eecenduct of the paper
will be reliable and satisfactory.

The City Workhouse..

kCommuulcokeu.J
The City Workhouse. ~
We do not remember an incident in our
not very short life that gave us more unal-
Logged pleasure than visit we paid to the
City workhouse last Sunday morning.
Capt. Noble, on entering on his important
duties as chief warden, expressed desire,
that as the prisoners underhis charge
might be divided into-tw religious classes,
Protestant and Catholic a minister of each
religion would attend on Sundays at differ
ent hours to give religious instructions to
the persons of their different denominations
Owing to the epidemic and the death Of
so many Catholic priests, it was found inn
possible to spare one for this duty until last
Sunday, February 8, 1863.
The Rev. Father Duncan was appointed
by the pastor of St. Joseph's Church to go
to the Workhouse, and we were kindly in
vited to accompany him. We were n It at
the gate blythe gentlemanly warden, MI.
Noble, and requested to step into his room
for q, few minutes, as he was not quito ready
for us. We entered, and were received and
amiable lady.
Mr.. Noble told us that he had requested
all the Catholics to be present at the SER
vices, and any others that wished might
come, but were not required to be present.
We thought this q very wise course on tho
part of Mr.. Noble, as we never knew of any
good that was effected by the compulsory
attendance of any one at religious services
they did not believe in.
In short time we were taken into q hall,
where were seated over one hundred col
ored men and women, and at least one
hundred and fifty white men, and fifty or
sixty white women. Morning prayers were
recited, and after most impressive and
appropriate sermon of over an hours dura-
ton, the prisoners present were addressed
by Mr.. Noble. He stated to them that, in
consequence of their orderly conduct on the
present occasion, and the deep interest that
| they appeared to take in the admirable dis
course they had just heard, he would have
them assembled at ten o'clock on each Sab
bath the bell would be rung at that hour,
and if no ordained minister should be pres
ent, they would have services themselves
by reading the Scriptures and other-re=
ligious exercises.
4 We cannot help adding our testimony to
that of Mr.. Noble, for a more orderly OF at
electromagnetic we never saw, and we
have no doubt, from the good conduct of a
portion of the prisoners that we-had access
to on some previous occasions, that great
|
prisoners, but to the community, by the re-
] formation that will be wrought in the lives
of many them by this good work, so aus
piciously begun. Mr.. Noble, and his assist
ant, Mr.. Walsh, deserve great praise for
their efforts to improve the condition, NOR
ally and physically, Of those outcasts of So
ciety committed to their charge.

1t is both unjust and ridiculous on the part
of the United States, to exact military ser
vice of foreigners, to expose lGe-and limb
on the bloody battle field, and then leave,
perclfance, that same individual 30 languisil
away in a British dungeon, or Prussian
camp, for language spoken in the United
States. If this be the protection foreigners
are going to receive, it is-better for hsm,
and more honorable for the United States,
that they be exonerated at once from the
-onus Of citizenship.
Suppose German, who fought bravely
for the Union, and Yankee, who basely
fled to Canada, were travelling in Germany,
and both were arrested for the same mag
mary violation of law, will the United
States call for the release of the dastardly
coward, and leave its once brave soldier in
irons, because he did not happen to be born
in the United States7 No-never! The
pride of the American people is aroused,
and they would not, nor will not suffer such
an insult to be offered to their nation. The
renewal of the scenes of 1912 is preferable.
Like the two dogs, spoken of in fable, fight
ing for bone, while third snatchcs it
away, our representatives are fighting for
Office, whilst European monarchs are usurp-
ing their rights; but the people are jealous
of their rights, and it must be rectificd.
