care and the danger. N.Y. LIAh
Our residents have contributed largely
10 meet this want; but ought not our absent
citizens 10 take their share in The work OF
supplying The funds 3 urgeody, required
by the different charitable assocla'iohsI-
We are sure they will, as soon as the sug.
geslion meets their eyes.
Some of these have aready set an excel
lent example. Let the others follow. Let
them think Of what adrama is e%nacting in
this Crescent City while they are amusing
themselves fac away from its steepies and
domes. Send funds TO the Mayor for dis
iribution among the different associations
that need it 10 pay the expenses OF the IN
digent sick. Authorize your agent here
if any you have abundance give TO charity.
"He that hath pity upon The poor ionieth
to the Lord, and that which he hath given
will pay him again" 'fsti e.
! FOR THOSE WHO NEED 1T.
We believe il is conceded on all hands
that the paiient-parIicularly OF yellow
fever-should be kept as quiet and Tree
from annoyance as possible. But now
little is this considered! We hear CON-
plants every day from physicians tina
their patients are annoyed and excited by
would be friends, but who by their lncon'
siderale conduct are anything else. Wher
a man takes The fever, let him al once cal
in his physician and nurse, and let these
be strict to keep all other persons out o
the sick room. What does a man, suffer
ing under The pain Of a high fever, heat
and back.ache, and full pulse, want will
company! It's the last thing he thinks o
or desires.
If it were our misfortune TO be "laid up'
the first thing we should direct to be done
would be TO have tackled up outside tn,
door: mot home-call next month
And then, if anybody wouldn't take IN
hint, ("royidjng," as an acncident friend 0
ours sometimes says.) if we could reacI

implement flying rather nearer their ear
than would be good for their hearing.
Not the least evil Of those inlerlosers
in the fact that nine times in ten they max
themselves pe(ect Jobs comforlers."-

mouths shut up, il might moi be so bad
G But they have no sense at all. II the

= Here is an instance out ola score tht
c we have heard of. 1t is no fiction:
s A friend and acquaintance Of ours wa
attacked with the epidemic, He was
+ a strong, Stout, robust man. He becan
very sick-so sick, indeed, as 10 give b
physician great fears for his recovery. II
was well attended; two Of his intimate a
qusintances watching and sitting up wi
him nightly, until he was conValescent.-
IS He was not yet quite well, and still co
fined to his oed, when the Two friends wi
had nursed him took the fatal leyer-aI
diedl .t1
Next day they were taken 10 the ceT
&c orery togslher-lhe friend whom they hi
N nursed, and with whom ihey mad waich'
3, not having The slightest idea that either
b them was even sick.
h The funeral procession passed direct
e by the house OF the invalid, and as il "
n moving past, a Tiece Of stupid lelI'
N looking out from a window of The 'nSaii'
rs room, suddenly exclaimed
'Ah hers the luperal Of poor Rob
TX and George, who were with you The ott
#, night. Poor fellows-lhey're gone!'
nd This did not quite bring about a reIap
q. which would have been fatal, but it shot
". ed the sick man most dreadfulIy. and
on though he is out, we saw him yes'erda
m. he has scarcely recovered from the SCI
he got.
Of We mus, not forget 10 say that NJ
IN door 10 him was an underaker's shop.
He has our congratulations on his escap'
