Relief for the Poor.

We are requested to give notice that there
will be public meeting This Ereninq, at
Esq. Martins Office, the object of which will
be TO institute efficient measures for the spec
dy relief of the poor in this city. 1t is not
necessary for us to urge a general attendance.
The froyerbal liberality and benevolence Of
our people are sufficient guarantees that there
Will be generous response to this call.
I'VE are also requested to give notice that,
in accordance with the wishes and advice Of
nearly all the ministers and large number
Of individual members OF the different chur-
ches, d collection will be made in the chur
ches on Tomorrow in behalf Of the poor. ii
beng understood that the several amounts
collected are to be handed over, on Monday
next, to the committee which may be appoint
ed at the public meeting this evening.
1t is matter Of surprise that there has not
long since been public and concerted move
ment Of our citizens in behalf Of the suffer
ing and INDECENT. But it is not yet too late.
Deeds Of mercy and charity may be all the
more acceptable and necessary, az well on ac-
count Of the public delay, as Of the protract-
ed severity Of the weather From all that we
can learn, the proportion Of the really suf-
fering poor in this city is remarkably small.
Vet there are many - more, We fear, than
most Of our well-to-do citizens have suppos-
ed-who have experienced the bitter pangs
OF cold and hunger, and are now shiyering in
miserable tenements, - disabled men. poor
widows, and thinly- clad children, half-sta
cd and uncertain where the next stick of wood
or inorse Of food is to come from Most Of
these people will struggle on to the very verge
OF starvation rather than incur the degrad-
ing stigma Of becoming public paupers. HUI
manly instinctiyely shrinks from that dis
grace, and we Nil know that when one has at
last given up to be pauper, about the last
spark OF true manliness has departed. If,
then, We would save our fellow beings from
this deep and hopeless degradation, lot US at
once visit them with substantial aid, and. BIZ
cheerful words and heavenly charity, keep
alive in their breasts that soul inspiring hope
which, looking for better times and better
things, struggles heroieally against a noun
tain Of troubles
We doubt not a tcorkiHg committee will
lie appointed this evening, who will thorough
ly canvass the city, and iudiciously distrb-
ute the contributions which may be made.
And we have only TO add the earnest exhor-
tation to erery body TO 20 to church to-mor-
row, or, if they cannot 90, ut least to send
In By their friends as liberal offerings for the
poor.
