Court Reception, Diplomacy and Tem- poral Prospects of the Pontiff. ‘Distinguished Guests—Protest of Austria Agajnst Papal Spoliation—The Pope’s Reply—The Thrones of France and Italy—Will Euro- pean Power Restore the Pontifical? Romg, March 8, 1871. Sunday, at noon, the Pope received in his throne foom a Catholic deputation of Austrians, comprising princes, barons and peasants from Styria and Car- niola, in their ploturesque national costumes. They ‘were forty-three in number, headed by the Altgrave of Salim, Baron Brenuer, Count Fries, the three Counts of Theen, the Counts of Avernas and Brandis, Lutsow and Perzen; Prince E., of Hohenlohe; Ba- rons Adrian and Frankenstein and a nost of eccle- siasticf dignitaries. When the Pope entered the throne room, attended by Cardinals Deangelis, Bar- mabo and Bizzarri and a number of prelates, the Austrian deputies ali fell on their knees, and in that position the Altgrave of Salm read an address in French, protesting in the name of Catholic Austria against the spoliations which the Pontiff had been Bubjected to, and expressing the hope that he would lve long enough to witness the overthrow of the Teigning House of Savoy, an esscntial condition of Papal independence. REPLY OF WIS HOLINESS. , Some expressions in the Pope's reply are worthy of remark. The Pope began as follows:— “In the midst of the impious and sad events which subvert everything in our times I derive great con- solation from the sentiment of affection and piety Manifested in every part of the Catholic Church, It gives me strength to support this war which, vhrough blindness or malice, 18 waged by many inst our religion and this See of the Vicar of Christ. We have seen a throne fall down crushed. and we see another much nearer trembling,” Alter tnis very plain allusion tv France and Italy his Holiness went on to predict with certainty, “although he knew not the time nor the hour that resent tempest will subside, order will return, but when those who sit upon thrones will have com- ded that with the excessive liberty of the press and the unbrilied license of the present day at is impossible that their thrones should not trem- ble, and, like this one, allow themselves to be dragged along by the revolution in a manner so weak and wavering as to be necessarily fatal to them.’? ‘The Pope went on to say that he was convinced that the Emperor of Austria desired in bis heart the triumph of religion, and was a worthy descendant of that family which had go often protected the rights of the Holy See. ‘And you, returning there, tell him that the Pope loves him and prays for him and the imperial family, and hopes to see facts con- firm the seutiments which the Emperor cherishes in ‘hhis heart,” THE PRESENTATION OF GIFTS followed the Pope’s speech, first the generous offer- Ing brought by the entire deputation, and then the special presents brought by its members from sepa- rate districts or distinct individuals, His Holiness, having cordially accepted everything, mvited the eputies:to accompany him in his datly promenade ‘in the garden and through the galleries, ufter which he detained them a little longer in the library con- versing about the ecclzslastical prospects of Austria and Germany, and finally dismissed them with his renewed blessing. On the following morning (Monday) the deputies had the honor of assisting at the Pope’s private mass, and received the holy sacrament from his bands. Yesterday morning they neard mass and com- municated in the crypt of St. Peter’s on the tomb of tne Apostles. Thus his Holiness gocs on, receiving deputations, condolences and gifts from all parts of the world. He lives more now in forma publica than when ne was in tie full exercise of his tem- Eeeet power, nad I am assured by an ecclesiastical tant of the Vatican that THE PALACE WAS NEVER SO FULL OF VISITORS agatpresent. Cousequentiy Pius IX., relieved of the anxieties of government and of the personal ie of wearisome public church ceremonies, 13 Teally much happier and better in beaitn now than at any preceding period of his reign. AS TO HIS LEAVING ROME, there is no foundation as yet for such a report, al- though doubtless a great deal of influence has been brought Lo bear upon the Pontiff to induce him to go forta in exile. The plan of those who advocate this pian is to drive the Ponti to Corsica or Bel- gum, or no matter where, provided he has the air of a martyr, and then to preach a crusade ust Italy, and yet up an armed European intervention to re-establish ecclesiastical rule in the Eternal City, But the Pope is obstinate when he chooses, and hitherto to all the imsinuations he only replies, “I do not feel inspireu as yet to act as you suggest,’? WILL THE POP§ BE RESTORED TO POWER? Ifthe Catholic Powers mean to do battle with Italy ror tho restoration of the Pope’s temporal throne, they can do so without a previous exodus on the part of his Holiness; but hitherto there does not seem to exist any such intention on their part. Of course France is chiefly invoked by the partisans ‘Of ecciesiastical régime as the Deus ex machind destined to come on the Peninsular stage at the er critical moment; but as Prussia, or rather should now say Germany, has been also mentioned as an irresistible agent tor restoration, it m: be ‘Weil to mention the following expresstons of the Prussian Minister, Count Brassier de St. Simon, in his speech to the King of Italy at Florence the other day, on presenting an autograph letter from Kin William announcing his accession to the dignity an title of Emperor of Germany. The Minister said:—‘The government of his Ma- {ety the Emperor of Germany, ts fully convinced of ine Italian government's loyalty, aud can this day appreciate in its entire importance the worthy con- duct which Italy has maintained during the war, and with ‘t pleasure testifies its friendship to- ward the Italian nation and 11s sovereign.” SHE FIRST CONSISTORY SINCE ITALIAN OCCUPATION. On Monday morning Pius 1X. held tue rst Con- Sistory assembled at the Vatican since the entry of the Italian troops inty Rome. Tue Cardinals at- tended, but not in gaia costume, and the Osserva- tore Komano, in describing the ceremony, calis it ‘merely a ‘Provision for Churches,” and does not Mention the word consistory at all. No new car- dinals were created, but twenty-six bishops were Dominated, of whom about one-half to Sees in par- tus. The Benedictine prior, Father Fink, of Kansas, appointed to the See of Eucarpia in par- tbus, was the only American prelate mentioned. It 4s usual for the Pope to make a speech to his vener- able and eminent brethren at every Consistory. On the present occasion it was rather a chronicle than Sarees, a3 it resumed the narrative of facts commen: by his last Encycitca, from the forcible bursting open of the Quirinal gates and the arrival f King Victor Emmanuel, Prince Humbert and Princess Margaret, to the irreverent carnival mas- querade of the “Crasaders;” bit the most tmpor- tant part of his disconrse was that which protested most forcibly against the possibility of a conciliation between che rights of the Holy See and the guar- antees offered by the Itailan government, which his and declared he Heliness entirely condemned, never would accept, Italian Violation of Langze’s Explanntions. In the Italian Chamber of the Deputies of March 18 Sefior Lanza, Minister of Finance, declared that ‘the disorders in the Church of Gest, in Rome, were provoked by the Words of the preachers. “A priest who, after the close of the religious ceremonies, had attacked friendly guardians of the peace was ar- rested outside the church, but subsequently released. Other clericals and citizens have also been arrested, Rome,” continued the Minister, “is not in the same Situation as the other cities of {taly. There are two Brie in Rome—one which {s unwilling to acce he change of affairs and bent on provoking discord; the other party is too impatient and intolerant.?? ‘The Minister asked all persons of influence to ald the government and tocalm the anxieties of the poor’ le. “The delay in the removal of the capital,’ é said, “is caused by the unfinished state o: -of the public buildings in Rome which are in course Of erection.” Two Newsrarsk Liskb Suits IN CHICAGO.— les J.

It has been well said that a man, be he ever so great or good, who 1s wedded to a theory, can never be trustea either with facts or arguments in defend- ing it. Heisin& condition of monomania, Both his perceptive and reflective faculties on that one subject which runs riot in his mind are out of gear, ana the intellectual machinery put in operation soon becomes @ wreck. The directors of the National ‘Temperance Society, a: whose request this unhappy discourse, it seems, was delivered, did an unkind thing for their brother Ouyler, and, we think, also an unwise thing for themselves, in putting him to this tosk. He was no match for Dr. Duyrea, He 18 @ popular preacher (deservedly so) and an estimable man; but he has neither the poiemic furniture nor power to cope with his opponent—a sound theolo- gian and a ripe biblical scholar and a keen dia- lectician, We remember reading a review by Dr. Cuyler of & certain book, which the reviewer pro- nounced an important production, out which con- tained a commendatory preface from the pen of Chancellor Crosby, The reverend critic, indulging his wit at the expense of his reverence for Holy Writ, reminded the writer of the preface in question that the Bible forbade ploughing with the ox and the ass yoked together, If the law of mercy prohibits the working of these unequally yoked animals how much more unmerciful is it to engage them in con- flict—long éars against Jong hurns? Dr. Cuyler’s temperament, too, units him as a guide in any great question. He is too impulsive to be firm and reliable. The public do not forget how, just before the war of the rebellion, he stvod on the steps of Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, and ad- dressed a mass meeting, urging the people to pledge themselves to the South to send back to their mas- ters absconding slaves and to denounce the aboli- tlonists as fanatics: and how, after the war was over, ina letter to the New York Independen’, giving an account of what he calied his “raid into Canada,’’ he said, ‘God bless Canada for giving an asyium to our fugitive slaves.” A man so unfixed in faith bimseif is not the man to fx tne faith of others. But what could @he temperance society do? They had for some time seen that the faith of many of their members was shaken, not in the expediency of total abstinence from alconollc beverages, but in the divinity of the doctrine. And now a clergyman of high character and commanding influence liad come out and openly assailed nis position, on the ram- pa, of which the proudest nag in the world jad for thirty years detiantly floated. Who should meet the assailant? Not aman who had reputation for biblical scholarship to lose could be found to do it. Dr, Cuyler therefore, whose zeal out- stripped his prudence, was permitted to rash to the defence, - With What success his sermon last Sun- day, as reported in the HERALD, shows. Let us fol- low the redoubtable champion, He lays the founda - tion of his argument in the following astounding statement:—"God has written upon every human body the law of abstinence from intoxicants by de- creeing that alcohol shall lessen the muscular power, dimunish the animal heat and derange the digestive organs of the human body ‘e have lately seen 890,000 men gathered to repel an invasion and to chastise the Invaders—men who, both in their phystque and morale, have been the admiration of the world. On the bodies of these men—iron-framed, enclosing heroic souls—each one of whom from his boyhood has been in the daily use of alcoholic drinks, this professed messenger of di- vine truth, this ‘legate of the skies,” de- clares God’ has written the law of abstinence from intoxicants. “Alcoholic stimulants,” he says, “poison body and mind.” We need not go to Germany to her princes, her generals, her statesmen, her scholars, her divines, her mechanics and her asantry, to refute the rash assertion, We can do t at home, amid the class of the community to which our temperance champion himself belengs— the American clergy. It may be assumed that nine- tenths of this honored class of men of the present meration are teetovalers. For a generation they ave stood in the culd water army. it some father among them attend a clerical convention; let him be @ phrenologist and from some commanding post- tion take in the coup d’@uit and study the physical, intellectual and moral character of the assembly in- dividually. Then let him call up tn his memory the appearance of a similar assembly forty years 5 When alcoholic stimuiants were generally used. to cording to Dr. Cuyler’s ex. declaration, what a contrast must these two ecclesiastical bodies present to the mind of the venerable observer! The generation passed away were men presenting all the symptoms, physical and intellectual, of having been po med, muscular power lessened, animal eat diminished, digestive organs deranged. ‘Their minds—weil, our temperance apostle has not much to say about the psycological effects of the temperate use of intoxicants, This was unneces- sary. The prohibitory law of God which they vio- lated was written all over their poor bodies, and we have only to remember the medical maxim, “mens sana tn corpore sano,” to know that their minds must have been terribly impaired. It would be a very eeearoae Vhing to say that cold water drinking {s poisonous, and yet when we Jook at some of our cold water men a hasty judg- ment might lead us to this conclusion, We inght refer to Dr, Cuyler himself for proof, He finds it necessary to go every year to Sa and drink Hons of nauseous in{neral water to wash out some ind of poison from his system. We wilt venture to say that he has during the iast five years taken more purges and tonics of this Kind than old beer and wine drinking Emperor William has used in the course of his life; and yet the old war- nor, with bis seventy-four yearg, could probably take our little apostle of temperance by the slack of nis pants and pitch him over @ rail fence. How did the Brooklyn divine get the poison into him? Not by drinking cold water, Wwe are sure, but by some victous habit equaliy condemned by sctence and the Bible, Of course we do not know and if, might seem tmpertinent to inquire, We are writing on temperance, Indeed, but we have no right to make our dissertation personal, otherwise we might ask whether our clerical friend, 80 Careful to observe Solomon's advice, “Look ni It 1s red,” &c,, is equally mu tion of the wise man, “Pat a thou be a man given to appetite.” There is some- thing suspicious in the fact that Dr. Cuyler has never been known to preach from this latter text, and that this form of intemperanve never comes under the cognizance of the National Temperance The temperance men in our Saviour’s ne Hasenes—against Whose false creed of as- ceticism the Great Reformer set His face hike flint, were not guilty of t 1s fucensisteney. They directed their attacks against gluttony as well as drunken. neas, and when Jesus refused to Himit inmsedl with them (0 biack broad aud broth aad colt water, but took meats and wine like other men, they culled Him a gluttonas well asa wine-bibver, Dr. Cuyler on one occasion dec'ared in priut that he had shed tears over his dear brother Crosby because he panies reiused to take the temperance pledge, and we have no doubt that the good Essenes shed tears te as bitcer over Christ for the same rea- son, ‘hen tears proved unavailing they had re- course to revilings, pretty much like our modern Essenes. Dr. Dio Lewis aMirms that gluttony kuls more people than drunkenness in tnis country. Lhe well-known couplet in Butler's “Hudibras’’ derives its mordacity from its trutiufulness— 2 Compound for sins they are inclined to By vamuing those they have no mind to. Englishmen are cailed beef-eaters, but the Amer!- cans consume twice as much animat iood as the English. A friend of the writer visited England some time since. On his return he complained sadly of his diet while there, Speaking of a week spent in private religious Iamily he sqid:—‘l was half starved. I gotouly one good meal a day; that was dinner. For breakfast it was tea and coftee, toust and a boiled egg—literally one. For tea, slices of buttered bread, so thin that you could see through one of them. For supper, bread and cheese and ale (both ale and wine at dinner), and before golug to bed, for the male members, a tumbler of hot Coguac brandy and water.” “Weil,” sald we, ‘you are @ physician; you ought to know. Did they look as if they were half starved?" ‘No,’ was the frank answer. “Did they look as if they were poisoned?’ ‘No; ho signs ot that.’’ From the teachings of God in nature our teetotal pulpit orator gues to the teachings of God in revela- 100, add hete he is even move shocking in Nis reck- less disregard to the obiigations of the ninth com- Mandment, because he is dealing with the words which the Holy Ghost teacheth. “I aver,” says he, “that the word of God enjoins the duty of abstinence from alcholic intoxicants. Betore thls assembly, as betore a court, 1 will summon as wituesses Noa and Moses to prove this assertion.” But what a mock trial where there 18 no counsel to cross ques- Won the witnesses and where the mock judge pe verts the direct testimony which they give! drank too much wine,” said Noaa, in giving tn his evidence; ‘1 didn’t Know the wine was so strong ta these parts.’” hen, by your own admission,” re- Plies the judge, ‘you ought not to have drank any; “God enjoined On you total abstinence.” Friend Cuyler, you eat hot vread and beel steaks or fried nam and drink strong coffee for breakfast, and so you lessen your muscular power, diminish the anmmal heat’ and derange the digestive organs, and then you go to Saratoga, to one of the most fashionable and expeasive hotgs, where, according to your own account, pudlisiied im tne Indepenaent, you are compelled to look at gay women shockingly decollete, and Where you go to gambling saloons to see how the “‘blackiegs" cheat, although you know that your #tble teaches you to “be wise concerning that which Is good and simple concerning that which 18 evil’? These and other things you do, whereby yon ‘wound the weak con- sciences of your brethren and sin against Uhrist.’” Thereiore, “I aver that the word of God enjoins on all Christians” total abstinence trom animal food, Our learned divine next treats his audence toa verbal criticism of holy text, in which @ most unac- countable error in the translation of the Hebrew word, so often occurring in the Oid Testament, ren- dered “strong drink,’ 18 pointed out. [tis acom- mon expedient with men, when they find anything in the Bible wiiich they don’t lke, to quarrel with the transiauon, But a strange blunder, it seems, has been committed here. Instead of strong drink tt should have been weak drink—“a sweet drink pressed out of fruits and often drank in an uniermented state.” A Ddold Jesuit would have pronounced this @& hazardous move, At was not likeiy, mdeed, that there were any Hebrew scholars present; but suppose the recol- lection of tne text bad Mashed across the minds of the audience, and in obedience to this new readin; they had repeated it—The Juice of truits press out, Whether fermented or not, 13 raging”’—what a shock would ‘iave been produced! Oh, learned doc- tor in Hebrew, would not your hearers have hung their heads in shame of your Fortunately for you they, as well as yourself, had forgotten the text. ‘There was another part of the sermon which, if it had been remembered, would equally bave destroyed the credibility of the preacher m this “court.” But Heither the speaker nor the hearers were im astate of mind to put tings cope ters so that it was not important to remember the old proverb—-‘People not over fond of the truth should have good memo- ries.” The congregation were informed that their pastor had been 10 Palestine and nad tasted the “mocker”—the raging people, It was unfermented, Me only tasted it, notwithstanding the divine injunction—‘foucn not, taste not, handle not.” But he only tasted It, Just as he only looked in at the gambling saloons at Saratoga Springs, and at a dance house, one midnight in Water street to see the “soiled doves!’ in company with bis Englist reverend brother, Nathan Hall, to whom he was showing “New York by gas light.” He did not say whetuer, when fe tasted the wine, he looked at it to see whether 1t was “red and gave its colorin the cup.” If he did he knows tuat was auother transgression of a divine command, But perfaps he happened to remember Just here that Lae pulpit Was not a confessional, and that he was not bound to tell all that he did waen in Palestine, Tnen comes another assertion which throws his argument into acomplete muddle, and makes “confusion worse confounded.” — “I'he Bible,” the preacher says, “tu several passages pro- hibits their use (Ulat 19 of intoxicants), aud come mands total abstinence more than once.’’ A coi- mand not to do # Ling, We suppose, 13 a pronibi- tion; the ‘several’? passuges and the ‘more than once” ones might have been grouped. Strange that the preacher did not give chapter and vers he would have settled at once tue whole con versy, and Dr. Cuyler'’s abie opponent, Dr. Duyrea, whom this sermon was imteuded to refute, would have been compelled, as an honest man, to acknowledge Ms defeat, and as a faith{ul minister of Christ to have made a public re- cantation. Where are these prohibitory texts? Duyler has left echo to answer, ‘Where? But why ciaun this prohibition for intoxicants—the fer- mented yuice of tie grape—when, whether fer- mented or not, itis “raging?” ‘Tne wine which the Saviour made at the marriage feast at Cana, in Gali- lee, it is claimed, was ulfermented—that is, 1t was what Solomon had called tne raging drink. “God commended it,” says Dr. Cuyler, “in the Vid Testa- ment.’”’ Christ made it, the New Testament de- clares. What pertect chaos of thought is here, We are grieved to the very heart to id this ser- mon. It 1s a disgrace to the Christian ministry—a disgrace to tae Christian religion, We grieve for Dr. Cuyler himself, When out of this monomanical state he is most estimable and usetul man in spite of his tdiosyncracy of character and oddities into which popular men of lis temperament are apt to fall, Notwithstanding this feeling of humiliation and pain, stiil we are glad to see this sermon. We hope that it will everywhere be circulated and read, and that It will be extensively cominented on botn by the secular and religious press. In order to tone the Jatter press up to the work and rid itself of the moral cowardice which has so sad-marked 1t in relation to this subject we could wish that every religtoua paper would transfer to its columns the most adini- rable article entitied “Manly Christianity,” which appears in the same number of the HERALD that contains the report of Dr. Cuyler’s temperance ser- mon. If anytuing can doit this sermon will drive the Nationa Temperance Society from its utterly untenable position aud compel them to piace their noble cause where It Pi carotid economics of iife and not its religious duties. There are many and strong reasons why men should forego the use of intoxicants, Let the society gather them up and present them as forcibly as possivie and make as many converts as they cam. But let them not say, “fhe Lord hath spoken to us,” when He hath not spoken, and thus prove themselves “lying pro: phets.’? Let them send to the paper mii! ali their irreligious reiigious books and the electrotyped plates to the foundry, sparing Or.

In reference to the assertion that in this stave the liquid ts com- monly drunk by the present natives of Palestine, ‘we niust alter old Horace’s sneer at the credulity of the Jews and make the well known passage read. “on credat Judeus apella sea ego.” Every native of Palestine or other wine-growing country knows that until the juice has undergone fermentation it 13 not fit to drink.

If he had wished to prove that the people of Palestine were in we habit of taking Epsom salts with their meais he Would have done it. Faots to suit come to the hands of theorists with wonderful ease. “Honi Soit Qui Mal y Pense.” To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— ‘Two most absurd figures of the present day are— Firat, the Baptists, weeping in sanctimonious woe, because Eve's fairest daughters persist, on certain occasions, in showing their rounded shoulders and classic arms to an admiring world, thereby courting the devil and their own inevitable ruin!

HANCOCK. Are Dancing and Going to Theatres Sintul ¢ To THE EpiToR oy THe HERALD:— We hope that the intelligence of the members of the Methodist Church may not be judged from the lack of it in its ministers, as shown tn their late dis- cussions on fashionable amusements reported in Tuesday’s HERALD. We beg the public to belleve that there are a few of us who are sinful enough to enjoy Dickens, Thackeray and Irving. In fact we remember having heard one of our ministers so far lost to ali sense of propriety as to quote from the “Marble Faun’ in his sermon. Applying the only argument of Brother Ferris, how could that minister reprove his people for wasting thelr time over Beadie’s dime novels wien he read “Hawthorn” him. self? ‘There are also a few of us who, like Brother Schaffer, enjoy a Tittle dancing in our own pariors or at a@ quiet} churen sociable; but we never supposed that by this indulgence we paced it so enurely Seyond our power to reprove the trequenter of brothels as Brother Ferris would have us believe. There are a few of us who have even been known to go to Booth's to see “Rip Van Winther or “Othelio," and are not aware but that we dan speak against the “black Crook” just as emphatically as if we were obliged to confess that ‘we never went to the theatre.” Tn fact, we have the advantage in not betng compelled to combat that argument all-sui- clent to the ofender:—"You have never been there; you know nothing about the matter; you are not fit to judge.’? We desire through your paper to thank Brother Schaffer for his part in the discussion, Perhaps he represented more of the laity than he knew. We are sorry his fellow preachers went for jum 80 savagely and that no one was found to hold up his hands, but hope he was not shaken from his standpoint, METHODIST. + The Cenfession of Siu, To THE Evitox OF THE HERALD: — When the little child of five or six years meets with an accident at play, or gets hurt or injured by others, that child uniformly goes to its mother or kind nurse and, looking up in her face, tells its sor- rows to her, and looks for compassion ‘and consola- tion in its troubles. The wise man, who has the good fortune to have a true, wifely woman for a wile, often, when in trouble in business, opens his mind to his wife, and very often gets good and true advice from her, and ts brightened up anew for the battle of lire, We all, therefore, when in trouble in the ordinary affairs of life, seck advice and consola+ tion from trusted friends, Now, when aman Is lost in sin, buried in iniquity, a putrid mass of moral corruption, feeling that he is a monster on the earth, and knowing God will forgive the most abject sinner if truly contrite, to whom will he go to unburthen his consclence and get this heavy load of sin removed, that he may walk again before his fellow men as a Chris- tan in fact, and one worthy of being called a child of Jesus Christ? Must he not contess his sins to Christ? But He is no longer on earth—that is to the eyes of men, It is nearly two thousand years since, from the midst of His apostles, He ascended to His Father’s glory, and onty mystically on the Christian altar, under sacramental forms, does He now appear on earth, Well, then, is He not on earth by repre- sentation? Who can represent Jesus Christ? Not St. John Chrysostom, St. Augustine, St, Alphonsius Ligonst, St. Pulip Nerl could even feebiy impress to repentance the sinner at their feet, as did our Saviour when He changed the heart of Marv Magdalen— transformed, with one benignant look, the harlot almost into the saint, But Jesus Christ 1s no longer before the eyes of men, and the sinner, therefore, who wishes to unburden his conscience of sin must confess his sins to Christ's Jegitimate priest, however unworthy he may be to walk in the {oot- steps of his divine Master, As Christ chose His wpostles and as the apostles im tarn chose others, 80 the Christian priesthood has been established and preserved in an unbroken line down to the priest of our own day. He is # lone man, with no ties to bind him to the eurth, @ Wanderer, 1m his outward life re- sembling to a certain extent his Great Captain and, therefore, a not untit person to listen to the sinner’s pitiful tale of sin and dispense eet ointment to the heart of repentance, as the agent of Jesus Christ. He is only a poor, sinful Man, with ho power him- self, but standing only as the visible agent on earth of Him who healed the sick, gave sight to the blind and made the lame walk. And confessing our sins to a brother man humbles us, brings down our pride and makes ‘us feel more ashamed of rush- into sin, On the other hand, juto our room and there con- to Christ, it may be earnest, but At is not So searching of comscience; we do not tind ourselves so humbled, nor do we hear consolatory words coming to.our ears that we are heard and for- given. Another thing 1s it gives the Church a chance to prevent social corruption, especially conjugal gins, which are secret, only to the contessional. In fact, it gives Corist’s Church on earth the power to look into the hearts of the people, as the Saviour did when Be walked tne earth, l!ke other men, Other forms of Christianity, in which this sacrament is rejected, are only outer garments of beauty, cover- ing a body rotten with filth. Their agents to the people stand before them like “‘whited sepulchres,’? in tae midst Of the desolation of sin, unavie to lift anelping hand, We may scout at the ‘‘confess- ional,” we may talk of its horrors, we inay avoid it, we may pass it oif by @ wave of the hand, but unul the people of the earth, as of old, humbie themselves in repentance of their sins at the feet of God’s priest Unristianlty will be a name, and not a a ee The Ursuline Convent Lands—Their Pro- Jected Sale. The Boston Traveller states that the projected sale by the Right Rev. John J. Williams, Bishop of Bos- ton, of the Ursuline College lands in Somerville re- quires legislative sanction, a8 @ part of it is held in trust, and the Bishop has accordingly petitioned for leave to sell, The estate consists of twenty-four acres of land. One lot of nine acres, held in fee simple, was sold June 25, 1829, by the attorney of Wilham Stokes and others, heirs resident abroad, to Bishop Benedict Fenwick, Euzabeti Harrison and Mary Barber. The remaining lot of fifteen acres, in three parcels, was deeded to Catherine Mary Wise- man, @ resident in the convent in 1828, and by her will, recorded in May} 1829, she bequeathed 1t to the three persons just named, ‘in trust, to apply the same towards the support and maintenance of the Ursuline Convent." The Ursuline Conyent was founded by Bishop Cheverus and Dr. Matigaon, who brougnt to this country in 1820 four foreign born sisters. The insti- tuuion Was an especial iavorite with Bishop Fen- wick, who did allsthat he could to foster it. Dantel Barber was a Protestant minister of Claremont, N. H., convertea te the Catholic benef by Bishop Cheverus, and we believe that Mary Ann Barber, whose convent Dame was Mary Benedict, was lus daughter. Miss Harrison, the second trustee, was the inno- cent author of tne excitement that led to the de- struction of the convent. After having been for thirteen yoars In the convent she escaped trom it on the afternoon of the 28th of Jaly, 1834, and fled to the residence of Mr. Edward Cutter, a Representa- tive, but was induced to return to the convent the next evening. Asa number of people who afterwards called at the convent to see her were re- fused, although several were admitted, the story went out that “a mysterious lady." as the Mercantiie Journal had it, who was a pupil in the convent, was deprived of her liberty, or virtually had disappeared. ‘This led to popular excitement, and on the evenin, of August 11, 1834, & great mob from Boston rolle out to ine convent and burned it, Its ruins stand there to this day. Miss Harrison, by the way, was the Mother Assistant of the institution, Elizabeth Harrison in 1642, and Mary Barber in 1844, conveyed all their interest in the property to Bishop Fenwick. The latter bequeathed the enure property and trusteeship to Bishop Fitzpatrick, and from the possession of the latter, also deceased, it passed by will to the present Bishop of Boston. As the last member of the Ursuline community left Massachusetts at least a quarter of a century ago, and is now deceased, the trust 1s practically in- operative, and the jands are too vainabie to be al- lowed to lay idle, eating up interest and taxes. ‘The agreed sale of the land, or a part of it, to a capital- ist, for building purposes, was recorded some weeks since. Tho Bitter and Sweet of Liberal Tract Din~ tribution. The Boston Herald gives an account of @ lecture delivered by Rey. J, L. Hatch on the ** Bitter-Sweet Experiences of the Liberal Tract Distriputor.” He saul he had not made tract distributing a money making business, but the hours he had spent tn this avocation haa been @ free gift to the good cause, He sald he did not believe ta forcing one’s views ona person reluctant to listen, bat he considered that offermg them tracts in @ quiet, gentlemanly way could not justly be considered offensive, Tract dis- tributing he had no doubt had been made sometimes offensive by ringing people's door bells and calling 14 from thelr Work, and Fins he did not believe Mr. Hatch here gave a brief historical sketch of tract movement, Which origmated in the 1871.—QUADRUPLE SHEET. ast py od hh century Among We LbeKws of Kurope, He waid 1, | aur lady of s 13 was soon taken up by evangelical people and ad- hered to ever since, being made a powerful engine for the efusion of repulsive ideas of religion, and 50 working upon yonng a d feeble minds. ‘The speaker said he was glad to notice that lately the liberuis seemed disposed to redeem the tract movement from its 1 repute and disseminate rauioral matter ina gentlemanly and inoffensive way. lie said he had tried to be vnobtrusive in his efforts in this line, and he thought he haa been so, although charged with a contrary course. Mr. Hatch spoke favorabl. of certain Unitartan tracts, and said he had distri- buted jany of late—perhaps fifty thousand, He Was satisfied, he said, that he had done good, and he knew he had infuenced others to act as distribu- tors, He knew this from letters received asking for tracts, In this he found the ‘sweets’ of the busi- ness. On the contrary, he said, he had been treated rudely by Fulton and Knapp; one young woman to whom he offered a tract at the door of Tremont Temple turned round and made faces at him; other women had crampled the tracts in their hands and thrown them at his head; and one elderly female had actuaily spit upon him. Thus was the ‘bitter’? mixed with the “sweet.” Mr. Haych closed with some hopeful words regarding the future of the luberal tract movement, ‘Tho Baptist Bite of the Legislative Sectarian Cherry.
