(Hear, hear.) And now, having disposed of
these cases, I may s!ate that we have at present
five clerks and 23 widows in the receipt of
the permanent
annuities—(Cheers)—of course, I include
widows to whom e lave granted gratuities, because
three
they virtually. stand in- the pesition of annuitants. l
hope you all Joie aid! us in feelings of pleasurable
satisfaction, that we have been enabled to dispense
such blessings as these.—(Hear, hear.) These facts
cannot be disputed, and the good these annuities con-
fer upon the individuals is, I assure you, most wel-
come, and it is gratifying to know that they are sin-
cerely grateful.—(Hear.) Much more indeed might
be done if greater means were placed at our com-
mend, much more, indeed, remains to he done, to
which clerks do not give a thought. We daily see
the great advantage ct such an institution, in conse-
quence of being constantly brought into communica-
tion with those who are applicants for aid. I have
the pride and pleasure to intimate that we are now
in a position to say, that every appeal for relief has
been met, every loan applied for has been granted,
and every petition for an annuity acceeded to.—
(Loud cheers.) Of course I wish to be un- •
derstood, that in stating this I allude only to
proper applications, and such as could be legitimately
granted. If this is not a satisfactory state of things I
do not know what is !—(Hear, hear.) Other cases
will present thernselvr-s as we advance ; but I trust
we shall be prepared for them by increased funds, and
to such an extent that we may render certain what,
at present, is contingent upon our means.—(Hear.)
I think Ibe'statemeet of these things ought to greatly
encourage clerks to come forward and give the asso-
ciation their support. See the good we have done, and
are actively engaged in doing ! I should say, that

Mr. LLOYD said, he had nothing to remark upon
the business of the day, except to cougratultde the
directors, and the members upon its nature a
re-
suit. If be had ever entertained any doubts as to
the success of the Institution, the proceedings of that
day were amply sufficient to destroy any such im-
pression.—(dear.) He wished to offer two
suggestions for the consideration of the Managers.
The first was, looking at the extent of emigration
now going on, particularly among clerks, that over-
burdened class of society, would it be possible, con-
sistently with the rules of the Association, in any way
to encourage, on the plan proposed by Mrs. Chis-
holm, the emigration of clerks? Could they grant
loans to clerks who wished to emigrate, on the se-
curity of their relations at home, or the principle
adapted by Mrs. Chieholm's society ? Favourable
opportunities of obtaining employment in our colo-
nies were likely to present themselves to young men
who could not obtain suitable occupations as clerks at
home, and, in his opinion, the most eligible thing
that an active young man could do was to emigrate to
Australia if he could not obtain employment at home.
Secondly, would it be possible for the society to sub-
scribe to the " Hospital for Diseases of the Chest,"
and one or two other hospitals, so as to be in a posi-
tion to give free admissions to clerks eillicted with
pulmonary or other complaints?
The CHAIRMAN replied, that those suggestions
should have the careful consideration of the board.
A cordial vote of thanks having been awarded to
the chairman and directors, on the motion of Mc
LLOYD, for which the Chairman returned thanks,
the interesting proceedings of the day terminated.

BUILDING ON THE SAND.
(From Eliza cook's Journal.)
'Tie well to woo, ',is good to wed,
For so the world has done
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have a care, ye young and fair,—
Ba sure ye plvege with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of 3 cuth.
For, if ye give not heart for heart,
As well a hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the" nowise" part,
And '• built upon tlau sand."

'Tie well to save, 'Lis welk to have
A goodly store or gold,
And bold enough of shining stuff;
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We ctlnnot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer thii ge.
And be who piles up ;yeah]] alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside his c,lfer-chest, aed own
'Tis ' built upon the sand."
'Tis good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we ca,:;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with laugouge dwell;
The one who pail's starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Mast lend a helping hand,
For those who talk, yet and
to do,
But " build upon the sand."
