The BLNGHAMTON HOSPITAL.

The Inhabitants of the Iomsnticslly beautlfOl
Town Of B pghsmton, on the SusqGeasnnah, hsve
eenerou.y offered 10 give five hundred acres OF land
a. 8 HONE FOR ISEBRIATES provided that the
requisite funds sre contributed to build aud en1o@
the Hospital aid farms. The inauguration Is 10
take place in October, the humsae project having
already received favorable encouragement. AS this
most sflctiug habit is, in many cases, disease,
wanting only aeclusion in pure air, goot counsel,
industrial employment and freedom from tempta-
ton TO effect cure the foundation of such Hos.
PTTAL seems a prominently important charity for
our enlightened country. Perhaps it may not be
ami.s to suggest that, in assemblies where an ap-
peal for contributions toward this object are TO DO
made, the singing of the following hymn may assist
in expressing the plea:
HOMES FOR THE FRIESDLESS.
BY \. P. WILLIS.
WHEN Cop, to shield from cold snd storm,
Gave trees to build and fire to warm,
lie did not mark for each his part,
But gave to each human heart.
Esch heart is told the poor to aid:
Not told as thunder makes afraid
But, by small voice whispering there,
FIND THOU, FOR GoD, THE SUFFERERS SHARE
Oh, prompting faint, to careless view,
For work that angels well might do
But wisely thus is taught below
Quick pity for sno.hsi's woe.
The world is stored-enough for all
Is scattered wide twixt hut and hall;
And those rho feast or frie"dis'' roam,
alike from God reoeire a home.
Each houseless one demands Of thee
Can aught thou hast the poor mans be-
And Pity eresthes response divine
Take rhat Ikare, frem God, that's thine
For chill, for womans fragile form,
More harsh the cold, more wild the storm;
But MOST THEY BLESS sHELrRIsG DOOR
WHOM DARK TEMPTATIONS URGE 80 MORE.
For Homes to these we earnest pray
Each human heart may yearn to day
And nay such shelter, kindly given,
Show the astrsy their door to Heaven!
