Amid the solemn thoughts and serious
reflections which the dreadful malady late
ly prevalent in our town, must have occa-
stoned in every mind, not absolutely dead
to sense of feeling for the misfortunes of
others, gov of heartfelt pleasure must
often have arisen, at seeing the god-llke
hand of Charity daily extended to save
the unfortunate sufferers from the grasp
of poverty and death-of donations, SO IL
beral and so long continued, it is Believed
there has not heretofore been parallel.
o. Charity thou great, thou god-like at
tribute, in our season of calamity, how Of
ten hast thou been seeking the poor and
miserable sick, administering to their ne
cessities, and applying the balm OF comfort
to their wounded spirits? To those who
have been thus employed any eulogium on
their conduct can add but little to the feel
ings which they must already enjoy-the
prayers and blessings of those whom they
relieved, will speak peace to their hearts
through life, and in death they will look
back with an approving conscience on a HE
thus spent.
