In q few DAYS the winter with all its sever
ity will be upon US. The poor who strug-
gled through the summer with compa alive
ly little misery, are ill-prepared to meet tho
incemencies Of the approaching sc 'son.--
Their necessities will be increased tentold,
aud they have none TO look to for the supply
of these nccessaiies except those whom
Providence entrusted with their guardian
ship, when he bestowed wealth aud comfort
upon them. Wealth has its pti7iIegeS;-
and common consent has invested il with
rights, but it has also its duties-holy and
sacred ones they are, from which there can
be no deviation without mourning the penal
ty of retribu;ion. .s...s -..... ... .............
1t is a solemn trust which God has be-
queathed to the rich, the care Of the poor
and the fatherless. IL is an awful steward
ship Of which TO render an account.
And who are the stewards? The men
worth fifty thousand dollars; or those worth
only ten; or those possessed Of still more
limited fortune Each one endeayors to
shift the:.responsibiity upon the shoulders
ofsthe other. But there can be no sinking
it on the part Of any, Tlerc are none 50

very recipients Of charity may be (and hca.

on the surface of our. society. The misery
which lies stagnant in the city out skirts,
and dark abodes, is lost to view; but it is not
the less real because it docs not force itse If
apon our notice at every street corner. Nor
is it necessary in order to relieve it that each
should be like the good Samaritan, and
dress the wounds of the suffering with his
own hands; it is not necessary that he should
90 into the homes of poyerly; he can pour
oil into the wourds, and bring comfort TO the
desoate hearths of the wretched, without
the cost Of a single pang to himself There
are charitable institutions enough in the city
through whose lnerciful ministry his good
ness may be made to act. l........ ...... 4.
Fuel, clothing, the money to procure
wholesome food, are the wants for which
the poor are now crying out. Let their cry
not fall ON callous hearts; but while We stock
our own homes with all chat contributes 10
the comfort and happiness of our iresides.
let us remember those who have no comfort
but in their dependence on our common
