Gop HsLr PooR 1T Is but q few days since the
papers were loud in their praise of the charitsbeness
deceased individual who, when living was rich and
whore death added TO the riches Of certain
institutions, whose appropriate duty is TO supply the
spiritual wants Of portion Of the bsnighted world
About 100000 in money was thus disposed Of in BE-
quests and who the smoners Of this charity are will
depend upon what seers may be elected to fill Offices
in the corporate companies above alluded to- so good
reader after looking that picture stick pin there
And now look on this On Friday night, upwards OF
hundred poor creatures sought shelter in the police sta
ton houses Of city-not convicts accused per-
sons, not drunkards, but poor homeless hungry chit
smshed wretches who prosecuted by the fstes
asst TO that degree deuion that they were without
place to call home. The night wet cold and comfort
less yet they had not where lay their heads other than
the common sleeping room Of the station house And
many Of them, very many Of them we're suffering, the
cravings Of the demon hunger But no
millionaire sought them out, not by proxy COM
Portable meal and kind word would have been luxury
to seventy out Of this hundred but unless some hu
name policeman contributed from his scanty mesns to
their comfort they probably left the station houses in
the inorang TO wander about the city for another day
return to their VI comfortable lodgings 1t night or per-
chance 70 die before night arrived and be gszs,tei an
