REMARKABLE SPEECH BY THE PORE
HIS HOLINESS NOT Worn Our NOR
WEARY.-It has already beon made
known that q, 900 male citizens Of Rome
affixed their names, with their address
and occupation, to letter to the Pope,
expressing their grief at the occupation
Of Rome by the italian Government, and
their anxiety to see the Pope restored to
his former independence When this
address, with its $1,000 signatures, WAS
presented to the Pope. the other day, he
made very remarkable speech, Of which
the following is q translation:
Yes, it is most true. and let us render
glory to God and thanks to God for
making it thus manifest that Rome has
been true to herself. Heaven grant that
never may it have to be said of her:
"Woe unto thee. Ohoraizin, woe unto
thee, Bethsaida, for if the mighty things
had been done in Tyre and Silon which
have been done in thee, they would long
ago have repented in sack. cloth aud
ashes; therefore. it shall be moro tolera-
BILE in the day of judgment for Tyre and
Sidon than for you" Mol never can
such words apply to Rome. The spirit
of honor and loyalty which held you
close bound to me. which, in the midst
of overfowing evil, keeps You in the
straight path Of justice with such abun-
dant courage, renders You worthy sub
jects OF this Holy City, empurpled with
the blood of her noble martyrs, aud rem
dered illustrious by the heroic virtue of
her multitude of confessors. The good
works to which you devote yoursely yes
with SO great zeal, your labors for the
maintenance and diffusion of religion,
will assurodly earn for you the blessing
Of God and the applause of all men Of
piety, not to say OF all the Just and up
right. May God keep yon ever faithful
to your good intentions, and preserve
you from contamination Of the evils
which have overfowed this city. With
my whole affection, I pour out my bene-
diction upon you and upon your tami-
lies, and bless all those who now, being
out OF Rome, are prevented from sub
joining their names as they would wish
Men have said thatI am

Or all this I am weary, in TRUTH But,
worn out and weary in tho sense OF
being ready to surrender the cause oom-

ready to compromise the struggle with
injustice, and of turning back from. tne
pursuit OF that which is right-in this
sense, mol No, in this sense am not

shall it be said I became thus weary.
