BISHOP SIMPSON'S SPEECH
Bishop Simpson at the Philadelphia Pair
said:
MR. PRESIDENT: At the request of the
President of the United States, and on his.
behalf, I accept from the hands of the Ex
ecutive Committee the vast treasures con
tained in this immense building, the gener
ous offerings of the people of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware, dedicated is
their name to the sick and wounded of our
artily and navy. No one, sir, more than my
regards and honors our Chief Magistrate.
The' noble end in view, the unparalleled mag
nificence of these . arrangenients, are worthy
of his presence. Ile would 'have been de
lighted to be here, for his heart beats in
sympathy with.eur great' purpose, and in
spires in our souls confidence in the result
of our national struggle. He•cannot be with
us, for his eyes are bent upon Richmond.—
[Applause.] He is listening for tidings from
his• brave generals, and the equally brave
men of his advancing hosts. While
_he is
not with us, he is of us. He sympathises
with the wounded soldier and eailot, and
pith all the means that are taken for increas
ing the resources of the Sanitary Commis
sion. [Applause.]. -Wlien I look round
this building, I am astonished at the multi
ttide and magnitude of the offerings—equal
to the best display in other cities in the
taste and skill of the arrangements'—at the
patient and persevering labor expended in
producing this grand result. Why this out
pouring. of treasure? Why this universal
stiring,of the.national heart? We ate in war
earnest, terrible war—against' people of the
same race, former brethren. breathing the
the same air of freedom, taught together in
the same schools of learning,' owning the same
ancestry of their noble deeds. But the-lea
ders of the South have torn them from us.
Th -- py Were weary of constitutional forms.—
They seized a portion of our heritage and
have sought to found a government whose
corner-stone is human slavery. To thiidark
Moloch they have erected their alters, and
'vainly they have made their sons to pass
through a terrible fire. Never were so ma;
ny victims sacrificed to that angry deity of
bld, as the South has given to her idolized
But the suffering stops. not there. The
friends of the Union have risen_in—their
might, and baits rushed to th'e rescue. The
farmer has left his plough; and.the mechan
ic his iihop; the man.oflatters his desk; and
the.merchant his .office; the noblest of our
brave young men have been foremost in.the

to be read by ages, - that great wrongs must
terminate in great catastrophes. And the
people have resolved that, cost what it may,
that system which would not live within the
Constitution, shall die beyond it, [Loud ap
plause.]
I remember to have seen them travelling
on the Pacfic coast, rivers taken from their
beds half way up the mountain sides, .and
their waters distributed all over the hilsides
and plains; wherever golden sands were-found
and miners ? by .the-aid of the little rills, were
gathering with care the precious particles.—
That same•river, ere thus it was parted, bad
been made up of hundreds of springs from
near the mountain tops. So it is with your
great ageneies. In the great centre you have
gathered all the little rills, from country and
from village, until they swelled into a deep,
broad river. Chicago and Baltimore, New
York and Brooklyn, St. Louis and Pittsburg,
all gathered their tributaries and concentrate
their vast treasures. Philadelphia comes
last, but not,least. Here are the gathering
rills from Delaware and New Jersey, and
from the mountain heights of Pennsylvania,
pouring their volumosin this vast reservoir.
Here by fairy hands they shall .be transfor
med, commingled, and distributed until some
little rill shall flow beside every 'Act and
wounded one, and returning life, and health,
and love shall far outweigh all the golden
sands of California's coasts.
Other cities have done nobly, but - no ar
rangements equal to these, for a single pur
pose, have ever graced any city on the face
of the earth in any age of the world. [Ap
plause.] .1 may say with the 'wise man,
"Many daughters have dune well, but this
hest excelled them all."
And 'who remembers the scores of a year
~ when she listened for the• tramp of an
invading enemy ? She looked for the devas

hour by hour, 'from Gettysburg, does not

While much of the credit is duo to the

Who would suppose it to bo otherwise ? for
it is women's nature to be kind. She is full
of sympathy everywhere. She is hively when
amid the eircle_of friends, and in robes of
beauty she is the centre of admiring eyes.—
But when, with ceaseleis care, she plans and
labors for the poor and the suffering—when
by example and persuasion she gathers re

jeweled threads of friendship, some lyre to

hushed forever.
Power of a Word
•
Wendell Philips, in his lecture last winter,
before the Parent Washington Society, told
the following story :
A mother, on the green bills of Vermont
stood at her garden-gate, holding by her
right hand a son sixteen' yeairi'old, mad with
love of sea. "Edward," said she, "they tell
me that the great temptation of-seamen's life
is drink. Promise me, before you quit your
mother's harid, that you will never drink."
Said he, for he told me the. story, "I gave
her the promise. I went the broad globe
over, Calcutta, the Mediterranian,, SanFran
else°, the Cape of Good Hope—and during
forty years, whenever I saw" a glass filled
with the sparklingliquor my mother's form
by the garden gate, on the hill-side of Ver
mont, lose up, before me; and to-ddy at Sixty,
my lips arc innocent of the taste or bquor.
Was not that sweet evidence ofthepower
of a single word? And yet it was but half;
"for;" said he, "yesterday there came into
my counting-room a young man forty; and
asked me,' "Do you know me?" "Nu,' said
I. .4 , 1. was brought once," said he to my in

Enemies.

they get in your. way.,walk, round them, re

"You're sure it's young?"
"To be sure it „is;" and Bunco took it
home. . ,

All efforts to eat were fruitless; it WAS so
tough; and the next day he haste'n'ed 'down
to the market, angry with himself; and more

morning, however,for same reason or other,
this customary dish was omitted in the fam

His wife and daughters, noticingthis from
the house with great astonishment, despatch

W4SDOM IN MAKING Lore.—We know.
that men naturally shrink. from the attempt
to obtain companions who 'are their super:-
ors : but they will find that really intelligent
women, whorpossess the most desirable quali
ties, are uniformly modest, and hold ttibir
charms in modest estimation. Do not im
apes th4,atl disappointmentin love which
takes place before you arc twenty-one years
old will be any material damage to you.—
The truth is, before a man is twenty-five
years old, he does, not know what he wants
himself. The more of a man you' become,
and the more manliness you become capable
of exhibiting in your association with women,
the bettor wife .you will be able to obtain ;
and one year's possession of the heart and
hand of a really noble woman, is worth nine
hundred and ninety nine .year's possession' of
a sweet creature with two ideas in her head;
and nothing new to say about either of them.
