REMEMBER THE PooR.-The cold winter is
upon MS with all its rigors, and as those who
are blessed with fair share OF this worlds
they should not only feel grateful to the great
Ruler of the Universe for the blessings they
enjoy, but they should not be forgetful of the
poor who may be in our midst. We are all too
apt to think when we are comfortable our
selves that all is right-we but seldom reflect
that there may be those who are actually want
ing the necessaries of life, who lack the where
withal to keep soul and body together. Snch
should be looked after, and the hand of Chari-
fy extended to them. a trife would send a
thrill of hope to the heart of a despondng
fellow, Tighten his grief, and cheer him on his
weary way. While we can we should extend
a helping hand; for Fortune is tickle jade,
and there is no telling how soon any of us may
be reduced TO penury. 1t would scarcely be
believed if we should say that here, in Clear
field, there are persons who sometimes have
not dozen mouthsful of wholesome food in
their house-and yet it is the sad truth. Such
things should draw the attention of an enlight-
ened, christian community, and we trust that
every one will occasionally glance into the a.
BODIES of the lowly to see if pinching want is
lurking about, and drive it hence. ssTo feed
the hungry and clothe the naked,'' are virtues
for the exercise of which you have promise Of
reward hereafter, for Christ says, ssInasmuch
as ye have done it unto the least of one of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me-
