TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
SIR—I take the liberty of addressing you upon a'
CASE of PECULIAR DISTRESS; your well-known
philanthropy will, I am confident, snake It public through the
medium of the STAI. The Gentleman in whose behalf I plead,
for many years filled a most respectable station in life from
placing too great a reliance upon a person, whose name, for the
present, must be suppressed, he was most cruelly defrauded of
all his property. A. series of misfortunes followed—want of
employment and ill health. These he was upon the point of sur-
mounting, when he was soddenly afflicted with a paralytic
stroke. Under this awful dispensation of Paovinrece, be has
for these last two years owed Lis subsistence to the exertions of
his son, a youth of 19, who has supported his father and mo-
ther by his earnings. The distreard the times has thrown this
young man out of employ. You may, therefore, picture to
yourself the situation of this miserable family, deserted by their
former friends, and involved in debt. The son, whose filial
piety I have attempted to record, can have an excellent charac-
ter from his employers ; he is an industrious, active young man,
well qualified to 11l a situation in a Merchant's, Banker's, or
Broker's Counting-house.
In the mean time, it is absolutely necessary that some relief
should be afforded to the family, and I trust that this appeal to
British generosity will not be made in vain. The smallest do-
n.:tion will be most gratefully acknowledged. rouse who may'
be inclined to contribute, will have the satisfaction of reflecting,
that they have lived three fellow-creatures, who, but for their
exertions, must have perished; and if any further inducement
be required, let them remember that noble passage in Scripture,
" Tneow thy bread upon the waters, and it•will return to thee
after mai./ d sr."
In aid of this benevolent pnrpose, Messrs. Veres and Co.
Bankers, No. 77, Lombard-street ; Mr. Weatherhead, Tea
Dealer, No. in, Coventry-street, Haymarket; Mr Goodwin
Cheesernonger, No. 96, 'fitchbfiurne-litreet, Haymarket; and
Mr. Anderson, Ilair-dresser, No. 1, York-street, Covent-Gor-
den, have kindly undertaken to receive subscriptions, and answer
for the troth CS this statensent.e4 remain, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,L C. D.
