A Worm IN SsAsoN-A correspondent, sends
us the subjuined eloquent and timely appeal IN
behalf of the destitute Of our city. We commend
tho article to the perusal Of our readers, and in
dulre the hope that the sentiments contained
therein may fnd o sympathetic response in the
heart of every citisen Of Lynchburg:
"Winter, with its bleak WINDS and freezing
cold will soon he upon us, clothing this visible
world in its icy vestments. The Christmas les
tiyites and New Year rciocings the glad echoes
Of which have hardly died away. ought to recall
to the mind of every thoughtful person the sad
condition of those unfortunate members OF society,
who are the victims Of extreme poverty and want.
There are those in our midst whose Christmas and
New Year were tho reverse OF happy. Not that
Lynchburg contains q larger number OF destitute
persons, in proportion to its inhabitants, than
other towns in our State But there are many Of
this description among us-human beings that
lack the ordinary comforts Of life men and wo-
men incapacitatrd for work by the ravages OF dis
easc ar the still more fatal ravages OF vice; chill
dren Of tender years. innocent and beautiful who
are suffering. and will suffer still more from the
nclemcncies Of tho season. These are disagreed
bic facts which christian people should make
bounden duty Of looking bravcly in the face.
Let those IN the town of Lynchburg. who have
an abundance of this worlds goods; who daily en-
Joy the luxuries and elegancies OF lie; who are
encompassed with all the comforts OF q peaceful
home; all the sweet and gentle sympatn'es which
render life happy and tranquil, let such persons,
we say, as they sit purrng in their spacious arm
chairs by the warm fre-side, think Of the poor,
homeless, shivering, starving children OF want and
misfortune, whose earthly lives are overshadowed
by the blackness of midnight, and whose dwelling
places arc the habtations of misery. Remember,
We rich man, when the nghtwinds howl around
YOUR splendid mansion, the famshed children of
the poor. Coax your generosity up to the sticking
point and help a. far possible to alleviate their
painful condition. You will then be in much
safer way to heaven, than if you had extraordi-
nary talents for devotion. In the hour OF death,
the recollection that you lghtened the load OF
Ill thnr.c had n
and Frightened the life pilgrimage Of some forlorn
Sister; brought back the radiant smile OF happi-
ness to the innocent face of childhood such mem
cries in that solemn hour, will be fraught with IN
expressible pleasure and consolation. Not only
this, but during life, you will be cultivating tn.
great art Of living happily by the great means oil
making others happy. The children OF fortune
seldom fully appreciate the sufferings of the AFFECT
poor.
1t may be arctic winter without, but within
their comfortable dwellings it is oil warmth and
hospitality. You that enjoy the treasures and
blessings of life, who possess a home where the
domestic affections flourish, where the starlight
smile Of children welcome your return after
tolls of the day are over, o think Of the houses OF
p,iration, which Winter beseges with all his ter
rors and into which he sends his piercing and
whistling winds" IL.
