WHAT WILL BECOXE OF THEM

The exhibit of the Relief Department Of the VII
lausburgh City Missionary Society, at their Ami
yerssrv on Tuesday evening, shows that they bow
have the names Of about $50 families upon their
books for the relief Of whom il requires $500
per week The funds IN The treasury Of the Depart

entirely exhausted before the close Of the week.
AIMING those $50 families are many who never be-
fore were compelled 10 subsis upon charity and even
now would they gladly live upon the plainest food,
could that be procured in exchange for labor. The
following incidents we're related by Mr.. Bulkley:
On the most bitter cold and stormy night Of last
week, widow woman called at nv house, her de-
meanor Indicated mat she had held high position in
society, and WA in every way a lady. After being
usbered into the draw ing room, she said:
"Sir and here her voice became choksd the tears
streaned down her care-worn cheeks, and for some
moments she sobbed az though her heart would break
finally with an effort, she continued: " have called
10 see If you afford me relief; ask not for my
self but for the sake Of my der children, who are
starving at home. i would willingly work, bat can
procure none. All day have wsded through the
snow with wet feet, from store to store in search Of
sewing, but my efforts were unsuccessful; they had
Dope to give out What was to be done ? could
not descend to the level Of beggar, knew not how

starving TO death; last resort, for their sake,
have come to you. 1t unnecessary to say that the
immediate wants of this lady were attended to that
night and she was supplied with food and fuel
Mr.. Buckley continued " In the early part Of this
evening, Of the gentlemen connected with the
Relief Department while engaged shoveling snow
from the walk in front of his house. sccosted BY
a servant girl, who said: You Of the gentle
engaged in relieving the poor during this winter

l ought TO do more; here are 81; apply it as you
think best Should the rich initiate the acts Of this
poor working girl in the ratio Of their means
the treasury Of the Department would overflow, and
relief could be extended to all the deserving poor Of
the city"
What will become of these fami The funds
are nearly exhausted. This Department will be una
