    R. ITE AT ROME.
It will be seen by the following letter,
copied from the New York Freeman't Jour
that thii Venerable prelate hat, at lait,
one ortr to the Roman Catholic Church.
To thoie who were acquainted with the
rratic wandering! of the Bishop, mind, for
wme yean part, hit pretent course it not
urpriiing.
We are at length enabled to put an end to
HI anxiety on the part of tone of our Prot
eitant neighbors in reference to the Proles
Unt Bishop of North Carolina. He abjured
Proteilahtiim, and wai raceired into the Ca
tholic Church at Christmas, in the city of
Borne, by Mgr. Talbot, formerly an Anglican
minister; at present private Chamberlain of
Hie Holiness. We learn this by a letter
from Rome dated Deo. 30th, in the Univtrst
of the 6ih inst. The ea.ne letter informs ns
thu a number ol Protestant pontons are labor,
ing for the conversion of Mrs. Ires in the
oly way they can, wnich is by abusing her
hu.band. The following is an extract from
he latter in the Univtrt :
"Dr. Ues after his arrival at Rome, made
Ilia acquaintance of Rt. Rev. Dr. McGill,
Bishop of Richmond, and he subsequently
applied to Motmigiior Talbot, private camera.
Tio to His Holiness, in order to make his sol
emn abjuration arid to publicly ptofess the
true faith The Holy Father having been
informed by Monaignoi Talbot of his happy
disposition in this regard, immediately grant
ed to the Prelate above mentioned, all the
faculties necessary for receiving the abjura
tion ; and the Anglican BMiop made, with
entimen's of the deepest joy and of the
most tender piety, his profession of Catholic
faith at the hands of this former Anglican
ininislar, who, as well as he, was a convert
to tho true faith. The Holy Father chose to
administer in person, to the distinguished
convert, the Sacrament of Confirmation ; and
this ceremony took place on the 26ih Decern,
ber, in the private chapel of Mis Holiness.1,
"Dr. Ives, by withdrawippjfrom the Protes.
lant Episcopal Church in the United States,
has renounced a very desirable position in a
secular point of view, and hits been compel
jed to struggle with family affections and ties
of the most intimate character. Dr. Ives is
married, and as yet his wife has not followed
his example. She has even all along warmly
epposed his design, but it is said that she al.
ready has begun to defend her husband
against the attacks of certain Protestant inin
istera who had accompanied the ex-Bishop of
North Carolina to Rome. Let us offer tip our
prayer that Divine Grace may complete its
work, and thai two hearts, so closely united
by nature, may be still stronger bound in the
profession of the same Catholic faith.
"The Rl. Rev. Bishop of Richmond has
had the happiness to gain another soul to the
Church. He has received the abjuration of
an American lady whom he had himself pre
pared for the important event.
"Besides the above, rtnolhir conversion has
also taken place during there festival days.
It is that of an eminent personuge: pruden
tial motives, for the present, foibid that his
name should be made public in the newspa
pers.'' Mil. TACGART'S LECTURE.
The Pottsville papers, a few w eeks since,
contained a favorable notice of a lecture
delivered by David Taggart, Esq. of North
umberland, at the Pottsville Lyceum. Mr.
Taggart selected for his subject the well
known text, ''Knowledge is Power." We
have looked over this production, which is
highly creditable to Mr. Taggart's literary
abilities, and regret that want of space pre
vents us giving our readers more than the
following extracts :
"The untaught barbarian, nay ! he among
ourselves, to whom the great science of
Astronomy is a sealed book, gazes up to the
Heavens, and to him the stars arc as beauti
ful as the lamps which decorate your streets.
The azure vault moves him less than the
painted and sculptured dome of a theatre.
You look up to them, and in each glearing
star, you behold not a world, but greater than
a world, a mighty heat giving and light giv
ing jtm, around which revolve, a family of
worlds, peopled duubtless with creatures,
whose souls are as aspiiing and deathless as
our own, worlds that for unnumbered ages,
have borne their loads of mortality Irom the
cradle to the grave. But your active educa
ted minds pauses not here. It looks beyond
the visible into the Immeasurable Invisible,
and reflect that if all could be seen, the more
distant as well as the nearer, the Heavens
would present an unbroken blaze of stellar
light. And much more even than this, it
would reflect that every sun thus seen, would
stand between you and ten thousand thou
sand other suns, more distant but not less
mighty than itself, and every orb the centre
of worlds, and every world ciowded like our
cm with countless forms of life, for the in
comprehensible spirit of the universe has
created nothing in vain ! And after all re.
fleet that your mightiest conception is but an
atom a grain of sand on the Ocean Shore of
the Universe.
Let us speak briefly of the power which
knowledge confers upon nations.
The Ancient Bab) Ion lifted up her giant
head over a people skilled in arts, and who
could boast more knowledge than the bar
baric hordes that surrounded her. Her colos
sal fanea were reared by no untutored hands
The outside barbarians looked on her vast
wails and her well drilled hosts with admira
tion and fear, and paid tribute to their
mighty neighbors, mighty because skilled
in art, -these feeble because ignorant. Bu.
Babylon, enriched a .id besotted by thn spoils
of conquered nations -of Egypt, Nineveh and
Jerusalem, fell at last before a people, who
had learned her cunning, but despised her
vices. Thebes, Babylon, Greece, Rome have
ruled the world by turns, aa they excelled
in knowledge, and lost it only when beaatly
sensuality and intemperance had banished
the frugality and the discipline of their wier
and manlier years.
. But it ie unnecessary to appeal to antiquity
for our witneasea. In later years, a band of
civilized men, a mere handful onder the lead
of the skilful Cortes, subdued rich end pop
ulous empire defended by spirits ai brave
and devoted aa ever bled for home and coun
try. But patriotism and courage were no
bulwarks against the thunder voiced armi of
the invaders. Mexico yielded up her gold
to the conqueror, and her people became his
slaves. Skill once more triumphed over ig
norance. But day of retribution came.
The falcon bad struck down her prey, and
gloated ever her pofse.sion . But a mightier
bird soared above her, and the falcon fell be
fore the eagle. In her stolen eyrie, among
her long claimed mountains, her murdered
victim was avenged !
Let us drop the figure. Three centuries
ago, few hundred Spaniards overran and
conquered the ancient and populous empire
of Mexico, the result of skill and auperior
knowledge. Three hundred years afterwards
nation mightier still, for the same cause,
sent her armies and world renowned gener
als, and with odds almost aa great in their
favour, the descendants of the conquerors
were conquered. Over the Mexican Capital,
floated in triumph a striped and starry Flag.
And again ignorance had fallen befoie know
ledge !
But knowledge has yet more in store for
us. When cultivated man shall have learned
all that it is possible for him to know, he
will be further in advance of his present po
sition, than he now is in advanco of the un
couth and miserable barbarian. If it were
given to man, to comprehend all the laws of
nafri re, poverty, wretchedness, vice, disease
and premature death would be diiven from
the world. Strange as it may appear, infan
cy would not die. Youih would live out its
4 or 5 scoie years. Early manhood would
not be stricken down into an unnatural grave,
Tho mother would not be called upon to
mourn for her child, murdered by ignorance,
before it had learned to lisp her name. The
father would not be summoned to the death
bed ef his son or daughter, passing away in
all the bright promise o( youth and beauty.
The orphan would not be found weeping
over the craves of parents cut ofl in the use.
fulness of middle life. Pallid sickness and
disease would (leo before knowledge. We
would eat no food, but that w hich would con
tribute to our health and strength. We
would breathe no miasmatic air, for we would
suffer none to exist. Even accidents would
be banished. We would shun the falling
tree and the crushing rock. We would not
trust the whelming ocean until fully prepared
to meet its dangers. The very thunderbolt
would be anticipated and avoided. From
the time of his fullest maturity, man would
wear gradually away, like a machine that
had been well made and well kept, servicea
ble to the lust In short, clothe him with
this peifect knowledge of material things,
and he will walk the wotld for an hundred
years, in all the vigor of uncontaminated and
unbroken manhood.
If this perfection of wisdom shall ever be
attained, men and women will be bred with
the same certainty in regard to form, intel
lect and morals, as the painter decorates his
canvass, or the sculptor moulds his maible.
The earth will yield up her fruits abundant
ly to easy labor. Men shall cease to be toil
worn slaves. The elements modified and
converted, even more than now will be his
servants, hew his wood, draw his water, cul
tivate his fields, and minister to every want
and every pleasure.
"Ajr ! were ii't man to die,
H were loo mighty fur thii nnrruw sphere !
Had he but time to brood on knowledge here
Cnuld he but train hii eye.
Mit ht lie but wait the myatie word and hour,
Only hii Maker would transcend hii power.
Earth haa no mineral strange,
Th' illimitable air ns hidden winge,
Water no quality in covert springe,

On board the Steamer :Bav Slate." bound
from New Orleana to Cincinnati, EDWARD
B. MASSER, youngest son of Heury Mssser,
Esq., of this place, and brother lo the editor
ol this paper, aged 3U years.
Death ie always an unweloome messenger,
even to the aged and deorspid whose sands
of life have nearly run out, but bow much
more so when youth, in the prime of man
hood, is suddenly cut eff.
It is but a few years since, when the de
ceased left all the endearments and comforta
of home, to seek his fortune in the South
His social qualitiea and generous disposition
never failed to make him friends, wherever
he was known or hia lot was east, whilst an
active mind and versatile talents enabled
him to adapt himself to any of the ordinajy
pursuits of life wi:h aucoess. In the fall of
1847 he located himself in a small village
in the interior of Louisiana, and not having,
at the time, any other employment, he turned
to account for a short lime, a six months ama
teur apprenticeship in this office, at an editor
and compositor of the paper in the town of
his adoption, and in either capacity he was
an honor to the craft. About a year after he
was taken into partnership, in the Mercantile
business, bye friend and capitalist, with ev
ery prospect of success, when in a few months
his partner died, and the business waa closed
In Ihe following year he wasagain in business)
full of hope, when in a very brief time his
partner fell a victim to that dreaded scourgei
Ihe cholera. These untoward events, to
gether with a climate that made inroads upon
a constitution naturally delicate, exhausted
his energies and weakened his frame. His
thoughts were, therefore, anxiously turned
lowards home a home endeared to him by
as many ties and aa many sincero friends, as
ardent youth, buoyant with hopea had ever
left.
Some weeks since, he embarked on the
steamer "Bay State" at New Orleans, bound
for Cincinnati. Ho was then very sick, and
the Captain advised him lo remain under
medical treatment, al New Orleans. But ho
replied that he was "anxious to reach
home," that haven of rest to every pilgrim
on earth. He continued to crow worse, dai
ly, until Ihe day previous to their arrival at
Gaiu'tf Landing, Arkansas, where he quietly
breathed his last. His remains were interred
at the latter place, from whence they will
soon bo brought to their final resting place
home. To his relatives and friends, it is a source
of great consolation, to know from the Cap
tain of the steamer that every possible at
tention nnd comfort was afforded him, by
the physician, officers and passengers on
board, and all that human aid could peiform
was kindly bestowed.

"Thrre ie no 6reiide howsVer defended
But haa one vacant chair "
The call "lo come up higher," although
welcome to Ihe weary pilgrim, w hose years
have out-numbeted threescore and ten is a
mournful summons to the fireside circle.
Oil ! death leaves mnny lonely homes, many
vacant seats, and, sadder still - many
desolate hearts! There are snmlerinc of
ties, never again to be reunited upon earth,
breaking up of old associations, never again
to bu renewed ; parting from those with
w hotn to part fur a few brief years on earlh,
is agony, those whose presence makes our
life-pai hall sunshine; whose death enshrouds
that .same path-way in midnightsgloom; those
w hose blessing and counsel were ever wel
come to our hearts, with whom we journeyed
on year after year, until they seemed part of
our very selves. One after the other their
places are vacated on eatth, leaving the cir.
cle broken, and the heart saddened and be
reaved. Rut how beautiful the arrangement
of Providence, that the very desolation of
spirit felt, when beloved ones ate removed,
should be the means ol attracting our thoughts
to heaven, and calling our affections (which
are so prone to cling to earthly objects) from
our mournful homes on earth, to that imper
ishable home, where change can never
come.
The friend whose name heada this brief
notice, has been one of our number, accus
tomed to go in, and out, among us, for a long
period of time. Forty-five years ago, this
little villain become her home, and here
have occurred all ihe joys, traits and changes,
w hich usually mark a long life. Many years
since, she became a widow, other changes
followed, subduing herspiiit, but she uttered
no word of repining. The heart was gentle
and submissive, and under all the trials with
which God saw fit to visit her, there was
ever tho same implicit trust in his guidance
and his care.. Eleven years agu she was
sorely afflicted wilh paralysis, since then she
has 1 i veil in constant anticipation of death.
Under all this sorrow she ever greeted her
friends wilh the same cheerful smile, and
her heart remained unwavering in her God.
She loved the society of christians, and though
debarred by ill health from active exertion
in the cause of Christ, her interest and her
prayers were ever with his people. Her
kindness and hospitality will long be remem
bered, enemies, she had none. Friends,
many, who will treasure her memory, but
w ho cannot regret that a spirit like hers, has
been called lo a more fitting home than this
decaying tabernacle.
Her departure, at last, was sudden, unex
pected to herself, and thus dear to her. A
severe illness of some weeks duration had
prostrated her, but she had been restored
again to comparative health. While enga
ged al her noonday meal, death's messenger
came, a moment of agony, and her spirit left
its home on earth, for the place prepared
for it ia heaven.
Oh change ! Oh wondrous change !
Durst all the prison bars,
Thie moment here, so low
In tuoital prayer and nov
Beyond the stars !
Oh ! change ! stupendous change !
Here bee the eenteleae clod,
The soul froea bondage breaks.
The new immortal wakes,
Walks with bis God !
