• • The, musical arraegeents under the direction of ,Mr. HOW', as.:
slated by the tarsi talent of the day: ' •
- In addition to tlye system of granting annuities, it is proposed (as,
loon as a sufficient sum can be collected for that purpose) to build
an Asylum a short distance from London for the aged annuitants. -
The generous assistance of the benevolent.is earnestly solicited to-•
Wards tilts olijecf, the Christian propriety of which it is impossible to
doubt. • Aged persons of respectability with small annuities are evi-
dently unable to'procure for themselves lodgings at. all partaking of
the same character for comfort as their former abodes. In the• case
of females whose • fortunes have fallen, into decay,
,there can be no
doubt that this is an intense aggravation of their misfortunes,_ for a
mean lodging in a low neighbourhood, with ail its associations of
nlisery.'if mot of crime (as must too often he' he case), will indeed
form a,heavy source of painful degradation to one whose former lot
has been cast in the pleasant places." What can be more desir-
lable, tisen, than,to place such persons in comfortable and respectable
Whete the decencies and proprieties of life can be pro-
perly maintained, and the old age of the inmates preserved from all
these ffisagreeabio-sarctimstaisees to which we have adverted? It
bas beets considered that the fall intention of the Society has scarcely
been prodneeit until thielist object has been accomplished.
