MEssRs EpIroRs / have been revolving in my
mind what would be the cheapest and surest mode
of supplying the poor with food and fuel during the
coming winter, and have arrived at the following
as the most plausible am sure if il is carried out
by our community, (and any other who may please
to adopt IT'D that shall have the satisfaction of
knOsDing, when the "pitless storm is descending
that oar poor are cared for.
We have, believe, about thirty five thousand i'm
habitants in city; say thirty thousand of which
able to give one cent week (and some will give
six and a quarter, which will make up for any def
ciency) for twenty four weeks-from the LIST of Octo
Der to the LIST of April-which will make seven thou
sand twohundred dollars Say we have three hundred
families who have TO depend upon charity during
the winter for food and fuel. This sum (of cent
tceek) will furnish them with foe cords of wood
each--which, with proper economy, will carry
them through the winter. We then have three
thousand dollars left. This would purchase twenty
four thousand pounds of beef and forty eight thou
sand oayes of bread; that would give each of three
hundred families beef enough to make twelve gal
Ions of soup, and about twelve oaves OF bread n
week, if the latter article contracted for.
If the above hints should meet with favorable con
sideration Messrs Editors trust the Mayor will call
a meeting to carry them out by appointing officers,
&c. Should he do 50, would suggest, as a means
of do,bly ensuring success, that the clergy of the
different denominations be requested to appoint a
collecting committee, and also have cent-contri-
button box fixed up near the church doors, (la
belled Fuel and Food for the Poorly and that the
Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperance, Masons, Sun
day School scholars, &C., be requested to co-ope
rate in the matter; and that boxes be placed at
tain stores on the avenue and elsewhere
In addition to the above, the tavern keepers and
boarding house keepers might be solicited to give
the refuse victuals into the hands of committee,
who might have it concentrated at some central
point for distribution. f****

ENcHANTED CArARy BRps--We haven't heard
of prcttier piece of pathos in long time than the
burning of the great aviary at the fire in Williams

eight hundred Canary birds, and as fast AZ they
set free they darted straight into the air. but
fascinated by the glare of the flames lowered above
them, and one by one dropped into and were con-
sumed by them. The appearance of these golden
winged creatures, their pale plumage lighted UP by
the Intense glare Of the red flames, poised motion
less above the confagration, darling swiftly like
thought, in the vain cndcavor TO escape the spell
that must destroy thcm full of poetic interest
well thrilling sadness. In the divine language
ofSwcdcnborg, birdscorrespond TO thoughts and the
general resemblance which suggest themselves inn
nediatcy give strong coorng of nationality TO this
beautiful analogy. As we saw these birds wheel
ing about the vast Of burning air that lay be-
meath, or lying helpless and palpiiating upon its
surface we thought of the myriads OF bright human
intellects which, caught in the sufocating atmo-
sphere and dazzlcd by the burning flames Of pas
sion CLEAN for instant in the urd light, and dart
