American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1845-11-27

The weather during the last few DAYS has been
sufficiently cold to give us foretaste OF the
approaching winter which promises to be upu-
sually rigorous 1t has been the custom. we
believe, with our community to aid the poor
by donations OF individuals or by the efforts OF
charitable societies; and as the WintIy season
which IS now near at hard, will probably be
attended by lis usual concomitants of poverty
and human suffering, we hope that no eyer-
ton may be spared 20 alleviate the necessities
OF those whom misfortune may palcc in need
ofassistancc. They whom fortune has favored
With a prJ!uson Of wealth and with luxurious
case have no fearful approximations of any dis
comfort to themselves from the SHOWS and
storms OF winter, and think little of their less
fortunate fellow creatures whose adversitv rem
dcrs tins season time OF more than ordinary
want and affection. The rich know, little of
the uissfi2s OF tho sick and distressed. Of the
toii-worn lahOrcr whose pittaucc scarce affords
suscnanCG TO the emacatod body that earns
It, OF the poor scmpstl ess bending her feeble
frame over her midnight task, whose harpard
cheek and lustcriess eye tell Of care and grief
OF the orphan, no longer the object Of parental
soIicitudc, and destitute perhaps Of food and Of
Sufficient clothing to afford protection against
iacement winds. And yet these wretched be-
lngs are more numerous in our happy country
than most persons arc probably aware-they
dwell III our very midst. Why is It that the
rich do no often permit their feelings to 90
out upon the wide world around them and Sc
tect as objects Of their COMMUNICATION the chill
drcn OF penury and want. Surely, it is not be-
cause they have none Of 'thc milk of human
kindness" in their breasts; it is because enjoy
ing all the comforts of life they are remote
from objects and scenes calculated to call into
action their !Sindlier impulses But we are
persuaded that our appeal in behalf Of the poor
will not be altogether in vain, and that our
community, i'll whose general character bene-
Violence constitutes a predominant trait will
make some provision to procure for them fuel,
clothing and sustenancq.
