Practical BEsEyoLEscE Thistle is for farmers
or residents in the country. Towns-peope may pass
it over. We cry to the country. We ask for help,
not money We want farmers to say, 81 Silver and
d" gold have | none but such as have will giye;'
and straig hiwsy let them go and do it.
Let them go or send to the office OF the German
Benevolent Society, No 7s Green Fich-st, and take
one or more of those poor men or women who were
rescued few days since from the wreck OF the New
Era upon the coast of NewJersey 10 their homes in
the country. Let them say:
"Here il such as have to give; here is home,
with SHELTER food clothing such Is have, and here
is work to DO If you earn any more than enough
TO pay for thar, then you shall be paid fairly Spend
the winter with u.s. and Try to forget your soo~s tor
lost friends and ruined hopes. Cease to think
of the horrors of that dreadful shipwreck, when
hundreds OF your fellows persisted before your eyes,
Warm yourself by the fire that warns my fam
lily, and try to blot out of your memory the chilly
night Of terrific storm that swept your own family
out Of existence Forget that that you are homeless
while with ne and mine you may have home-not
q home of charity, but one earned by your labor
Such il the practical benevolence that thousand
farmer. can bestow. We only ask for one hundred
snd forty for that is all out Of more than four hun
dre6 that can accept your ofer-al the rest are at
rest-they have found a home, sooner than they ex-
pectd-parower than they hoped for, IN such vide
land as America.
Many Of these poor Germans left their own country
buoyaDt with hope and not destitute Of means to be-
gin to gain bo ne here but all is gone. and they
homeless and helpless.
Will you offer them Q home with you-yes, Sir,
you not your ghbor over the way, or John Smith, in
: the DeIt town We don't know about their practi-
cal benev oleDcei we do about yours. We know that
you have it, and AL you want is to be reminded that
there are great many poor shipwrecked human be-
iDgs in this City awaiting anIiously TO hear some
ope ray Come with me-"
You need not hesitate q moment 10 make the o3er,
for you know that you want man. or at any rate can
fpd employment for one, and therefore il is your duy
to furnish one of the homeless and frendless With
food and shelter not for charity, bat for his labor
The cnly hesitation therefore, tina. you are justified
in making is TO AK your wife If you shall not take
two--ope man and one woman You can DO it-yoa
will do it If you do the bidding Of your heart, and
that without delay.
N.B.-If the number Of ship wrecked souls upon
the New Era 10 sufficient TO al all the orders, OF
if yO1 prefer those Of any other nation, send 10 the
Commissioner of Emigration, the Governors OF the
Aims House, the Juvenile Asylum, the Emigrant Pro-
tec,ive and Employment Society, the Home Of the
FreDdless, the Cbidrens Aid Society or 70 the House
Of Inausry-snd you will at all times find Old and
young, poor homeless, shpwrecked fellow.beings-
sbipwrecked as certainly and fatally as those who
have ted The waves upon lee shore, and escaped
only With life There aIwaysin this City hundreds
of wiling hands to work, persons who would become
valued members Of sOciesy-valusble laborers ia
country homes. II practical benevolenee would extend
its srms and draw them awsy from the sinking wreck
the wreck that Is always sinking on stormy coast.
II humane to rescue such passengers it practical
b. nevoepce to take the shpwrecked sufferers By the
hand, and say, Come with me- will give you food,
clothing shelter; you shall have home, and wsges
for your labor, and chance to forget your sorrows
and suferrgs."
