On the 9th uit., at the Academy of Music, Now York, I?atler Ilya cintho delivered a lecture for the benefit of his destitutu country men. The assemblago is said to have boon the most brilliant that ever graced a public hallI in the , " metropolis. Tle following is a re port of the lecture : (Ladies and Gentlemen :-I, too. require to give somo explanation of my prosonco hero to-night. I cnmo to seek in this country a Few weeks of repose between the strug. gles of' yester evo and those of the morrow. I can resolved to he silent; I came to behold that grnd nature boaring an impress of the 7'Do)iVy, the mnore profound as the hand of mnan is loss appIarecnt upon01 It; I -camne to look upon that ongand vigorous nation, which, if it weakens not, will realize in the f'uturio the greaftost anid best intentions of God on the cathl.

The miem bers bf the Societe Franonise do Bien fatisanco ask me to come to aid (now that a severe winter is about jo sot in') my suffering compatriots in Now York. The Fronch popu-. lation in this great city is not nut fnorous, but its memories are many Imd( glorious. Since the timo of W~ashin;.gton a nt d Lafayotto no cloud has darkened the friendship pf the two countries they r'espoet. - 1903y represent.

T his will account for m'iy prosonco before you1 this oven ing. The q.nostion I would speakt1 on to.night Is one of most important, yet one of the least und(erstood. I speak of charity. The govornmnon t of life is, howvev0r,- the real subjet of my lect,ure, and obarity g ub fiIry eloment. iv fis practical age honoo is studied' for Its appli cation to the prvactical purp)osos of lift,, r'ather t.en for its own oxoohe lence. The fa~ct par' excellence is truti,niand fr'om this conmes the great question :Of what use- is it for man to conquoer the universe if hoe 1o80s his soul--his lift? It is a grund thing for thio Con tinont to ho aOroenedll hv1 theopnle hu. 9 11 16 g Unw UWLI11g iOr Imliln tO 1J0 governed by his conscience. But before proceeding further lot me define the moaning I attach to the expression. The old scholastics, after Aristo tlo, referred to life as a movement -"vita in motu." In each move mont three parts are discernible tho point of departure, the line traversed, and the point of arrival. It is thus in life. The motivo pow or in life is the heart-a more im porativo, impulsivo power than the conscience, from which, however, it is not to be separated. I have the right, so to speak-I, a priest of Jbsus Christ addressing you. Guard thino own heart ; every man hath his own heart in his keeping. T I o three principal powers of the soul and the body are the reason, the senses and the heart. Noither of the first two mentioned are real powers. By the senses man is assimilated to the brute creatitn, and sometimes degraded below its level. By roa son he is assimilated to the angels. IIe reasons on truth under a dim shadow, while the heavenly hosts behold it in all its full radiance. Nothing, however, is more exclu sively, more essentially human than the heart, for man cannot live or find any permanont prinei ple that will inspire him in life without its aid. I have loved, and still love, ideas, but I have never found in them absolute certain tics, or consolations and joys. What is the heart? It is the flesh ; it is an organ that commands blood and life. Moses said : "The soul is the blood." Thle heart is almost the man, for in it all motion in life commences and ends. It is the first organ awakned to life in the infiant in the mother's womb ; it is. the last that beats on the death bed. The material heart 'is the image of the moral heart. A nd the heart is love, the power of loving. Man is not a thought, a sentiment, but he is love. This love is the source of all moral acts, for in every man you will find a good or a bad love, the weight (if which will decide his after life. St. Augustine has said: "My love is my weight; where it bears me thither I go." I may recite to you a d o man legend I. have heard: It deals with a young man in love. IHe is sketching an admirable land scape. B6hind him is the fiend in human semblance, watching his every novement. Satan, after watching him for a while, cries to the youth : "You are in love." \nd how do you know that?" -replies the youth. "I can see it." The fiend was right.. Love ex presses itself by m)cans the most foreign to it. In man it is as I have before said---nt the root of every act-the heart is at the foun lation of all. Let us then be men of leatri.. Let Its bear our hearts into civil life, into social life, into domestic life. Let us 1be men of heart, in city and in State. Lot us love country, family, loyalty, probily. Let us lovo the Church of Christ, but not as the church of any p)artiouhir sect. Let ns respect the letter, but not as an extinguish er-the letter kills, the spirit gives life. [TLoud ap)plause.] Let us then, I repeat, start as men of' heart. Your great poet, Len gfol low, whose acgnaintance it was my great priviloge to make a few days ago, has written in one of his verses-the force of which is but poorly ronldOred inl French--lines wvhiich have been my motto through life : "Let,L na ihen be up and doing, WVith a h,eart for' any fate, LearnV, to labor and to wit." [Tlremoendous applause.] Nowv I would speak of' the direction to be given to li fe, and1( of the region it should traverse. We have ofton heard otf two roadls opening before man, each diverging from the other. .1i[u manity has hesitated betwoon the two for contur'ies. Shall heaveni or earth be ihoson ? Shall man give to his existence an impulso .that will separate him from the world that bers him, and1( tear it from all that the Croa. teor hasi madle its basis-fammily, af footions, interests, sufferings; or shall lie cast awany all idea of lov ing heaven, andl concentrate upon earth his faith, his hope, his love? MIan, I say, hesitates be twvoen the twvo roads, and the most rash rtish to one ot' the other. Mater'ialists say thrat heaven is nothing, and see but the earth, giving themselves to that dust wvhich forms our planet, and to that troublous an%. fleeting hour, life. MIystical millcls (atnd n-o'ono respeots 0neno minds mnore thlan 1 dio) falsoe mystical maintisaset m,Mo aill arthl+ duties and c.na-. monts-chango life into an aspira tion toward heavon, instead of striving to - merit that heaven. They sock to scale their way into heaven in hot haste. Now my experience has Convinced me that between those two roads there is a third opened for the greatest moral and religious progress man can mako, and trodden by men who can reconcile heaven and earth--the present life with a fu ture existencc-a task to bo ac complished in theso times as it 'as accomplished by Christ dying on the cross to reconcile the things of hoaven to the things of earth. I open the Bible, and I read in it that God made man out of dust, and placed him in a benutcous garden, which, by material toil, he was to care for and cultivate. Then ho led before him the ani mals-(that inferior race which is intended to supply slaves to man) --man, thon, the work of God, was the king, the owner, the man ager of the universe. 'Tho part we have to act now is unchanged. We have to continue in those ages the work of Adam. Instead of a small part of Asia Minor, though, we have a whole planet. God has given us steam and electricity, and distance is an nihilated. This globe, I say, is our Eden, and by our labors on it we gain heaven and earth. [Ap plause.] After the first man caine fitmily and society. Adam was alone, and God thought it not good that ho should be, or 11e know What A.lam only fblt he lacked. "Let there be light,'' God said, "and light was mado, and i behold it and said it was good; and He created stars, animals and plants, and saw that all wore very good. But when IIo made what .lI adjudged i1is masterpiece, and the edifice was crowned by man, Il perceived hIis work was incom pleto. So God made Adam a com panion, and saved him from ego tism." Thus was the organization of the nonly porfected. In niodern society eclibacy ex ists for the sake of God; but this exception, if you make it a rule, is against God and against nature. Celibacy is cowardice if it does not glorify marriage. The Apos tles have said marriage is honora l,le, marriage is spotless, before God and men. ''he great object in view is the reconciliation of heaven and earth, and of the pre sent life with the futur, and to Securo ulnion on earth. Union in the city, in the nation, and in h inanity was the thought of Jesus Christ, who first proelaimed that. which the Prophets but dimly saw and the Jews never did see. The conturies that, will realize this great union the nations ha began. The labor has commenced Steam and electricity remove all obst acles.

The new year has coinenced in the metropolis at least with a horrible record of crime. Murders of the most atrocious pattern have followed one another up in rapid suceession ever since 3800 halts left us, so that the enormity of the crimes committed even astotishos a population so th<,roughly accustomeli to have Ilheir daily dish of horrors sefved up before theml. Our prisons are full and overflowing, and while on the one sidd we hear of en ormous efilrts on the part of religions organizations to spread the gospel and civilization among the lowly, wo hear on the other side of the most sickening out. rages committed by those whose educa tion and social position ought to have imbued . them all with ' that morality which religion professes to teach among the masses, but which it knows not how to enforce. hlow thet arb we to account for all this ? W1hat is to;become of our society, now boasting of h itherto unsur passed civilization ? Cat it be true that tho fault lies in tho moralk of our entire people? It certainly looks very much so, when we lind, as in the ease of young Poll, son of one of our iillionlires, matk ing away with his life under the merest domestic aillietion ; when,we find a pro minent school-teacher, like linumann, living in open adultery, with another mant's wife, also a teacher of our public seninaries, and then coinlhiit mutirder andl sicide when exposure is about to reach the: when we find a ivell-to-do man like Iluckhont kill his wife and a New York merchant 111d his 14)n oil the merei. suspicion that they took. libetties with his wife, not allowed by the laws of so ciety ; when we find a nquilan like Mrs. Kern, of lloboken, take Paris G reen, be cause now she has not the riches of by gone years ; when we tid cashiers rob bing the banks with whiph they are con nceted, and theft, arson, ?murder, adulte ry, become events of stuch ordiniuy oc currence that even the public press can not follow them as rapidly as they trans pire. We may well ask, "wbut is to be come of us?" "What is tht cause of it The fist question is 'difficult to answer. We (10 not live in the time of the prophets. As to the SecOnd (luestion ne Iiglit say as has often been aid before, that the fault hes n ith our rulers, with the mteni who in high positions courul the alliirs of cities, states and of the nation, that their profligacy and their corruption have set the example vhich we (ind so closely followed by th3 people.
