TO THE PUEBLO.

So many appeals have been made to the pub
lie in behalf Of the poor OF this city, that those
who have the more immediate supervision of
them are somewhat averse to the repetition of
these calls, and yet this must be done by some
one, or great suffering to this unfortunate class
Of our fellow beings is the inevitable result
The Relief Committee surely have no sine
cure, for, in addition to their daily labors, their
feelings are subjected to intense trial in wit
Messing as they constantly do, so much suffer-
Ing which they are unable to relieve. Those
who do not trouble themselves with the sorrows
of the poor, have no idea of the suffering around
them, and of the consequent and continuous
strain upon the feelings Of those good and sen
sitive people who deem it duty, as in the sight
of God, TO "bear one another's burdens" to
sweep with those who weep"
The President of the Relief Committee states
that at no time, heretofore, has there been so
great need of assistance as at present. There
are not less than six or seven thousand who re-
Quire assistance. Some of these are persons
reared in ease and even affiuence, but now land

by their adherence to their native State in this
her hour of trial. Many are the families of our

soon be in like state of privation.
We are sure all true hearts will respond to
this call, and let all remember that this demand
IS CONTINUOUS in its nature, and requires sYS-
TEMATIC contributions. 1t brooks no delay now
Let all who can, give SOMETHING, and that
PROMPTLY.
Contributions of money, provisions, fuel and
clothing may be sent to the President or Trea
surer Of the Relief Committee.
Under the kind approval of the Quartermas-
ter General, Major Maynard promptly placed at
the service of the committee adequate means for
hauling all contributions from the various points
in this city to which they may be sent by those
from a distance All such contributors are re-
questcd to inform the Treasurer or President
of the Relief Committee of Richmond of the
transmission ofsuch supplies. Remember; che
that giyeth to the Ioor endeth to the Lord

The Well OF Life.

The mouth Of righteous man is a well CT life.-PRov.
<: II.
The mouth is taken as the principal channel
by which the issues of life flow out for good or
evil. 1t is a well, If it be full, it flows over;
and if the overflow be sweet water, the border
viii be fresh and green
The wells supply falls in rain from heaven,
and secretly finds its-,way by hidden veins to
the appointed opening. The overflow fringes
the wells brm with green, although the sur
rounding soil be barren. As the world is
wilderness, and the righteous are wells in it,
there is urgent need that they should get sup
ply for themselves in secret from above, and
that the outcome of their conversation should
be the means of reviving to all around.
In hot summer day, some years ago, I was
sailing with friend in tiny boat, on NINA
ture lake, enclosed like cup within circle of
steep bare Scottish hills. On the shoulder of
the brown, sun-bumt mountain, and in full
sight, was well, with crystal stream tricking
over its lip, and making it's way down toward
the lake. Around the Wells mouth, and along
the course of the riyulet, belt of green stood
out in Strong contrast with the iron surface of
the rock all around. ''What do YOU make of

eye to read the book of nature, and heart all
aglow with its lessons Of love. We soon agreed
as to what should be made of it. 1t did not
need US to make it into any thing. There it
was, legend clearly printed by the finger of
God on the side of these silent hills, teaching
the passer-by how ncedful good man is, and
how useful he may be in desert world.
Let your heart take in by its secret veins
what comes pure from heaven in showers of
blessing; so shall itself be full, and so shall its
issues, as far as your influence extends, contrib
ute to fertilize the wilderness The Lord looks
down, and men look up, expecting to see a
fringe of living green around the lip of a Chris
tian's life-course. If we get good, we shall be
good; if we be good, we shall do good. And
this by law of the new nature. Every crea-
ture after its kind, and the new creature too.
The wicked have power similarly cxerted,
but III an opposite direction, and with an OPP
posite effect The wicked are like the seattle
troubled sea. 1t is always heaving from its
depths, and casting up "mire and dirt" A
belt of salt and barrenness runs all round. 1t
scalds the life out of every green thing within
its reach. The sea cannot rest, and herbs upon
its border cannot grow. Thus the ungodIy act,
constantly, inevitably by law. The evil get
evil, and do evil. Sin propagates sin, and pro-
ducez death.-ReU. Vim. ArnOt, of Scotland.

The Price CT Wealth.

That eminent Christian, James nc gomery,
the poet has said-"I am not 2ict- never
took the means 20 be so: have often said that
could not afford to pay the price of wealth,
and that, as there is neithera law of nature nor
an act of Parliament to compel me to become
rich, would not sell all my peace of mind, nor
consume my time in gathering what I might
never enjoy. do not despise money; love it
as much as any man ought to do, and perhaps
something more at particular times But
small provision is enough for my few wants,
and the Lord has made that provision for me.

or industry, or merit of any kind has acquired

at the best, and too often as slothful and

What is Confederate Money worth

Gold rises and fals-prices rise and do not
fall-Congress legislates-the Secretary Of the
Treasury plns-,he brokers push it up and
pull it down, and spectators buy and SELL
And nobody can tell what is the present OF
prospective value of Confederate money. We
are not wiser than others about money We
cannot presume to give an opinion as to what
it IS worth. But We can tell what it is not
worth-It is not worth a mans soul If man
should secure in much better currency than
the present, the value of the whole world in
exchange for his soul, it would Be a specula-
ton that would make him an infinite bankrupt.
It Is not worth. any amount Of it that can be
named, the endaugering of our peace of mind
or the damaging of orr spiritualities They
that covet money, err from the faith, and pierce
themselves through with many sorrows.
BY the depreciation Of the currency, many
men viii lose their worldly fortune, and this of
necessity.
Let Christians beware, lest of their own act,
for deprecated money, they cheat themselves of
heavenly rches-and this without necessity.

why Not!

A youthful minister, now missionary, was
once at the close of funeral service sitting
next to young lady who was apparently alto
gether careless about religion. lie inquired of
the stranger if she were a Christian. She re-
piled, "No, am not" Deeply interested in
her spiritual welfare, he again asked, "Why

thoughtful moment repeated, with startling
camestness, "Why notl'' She had thought
that there might be reasons for her becoming
Christian; what reasons there were for her con-
tinuing mpepitcnt, she had never considered.
She gave herself up ''living sacrifice" to her
Saviour, and is now telling, in foreign land,
the store of his love.
May the Holy Spirit lead every one who reads
this, and is not Christian, to consider in his

The Best Friend.

"Jano, have got a splinter in my thumb,
and it is SO sore, please, sister, pick it out"
said little girl, running into the room where
her elder sister sat sewing. 600 away, child"
answered Jane, "don't interrupt me when am

to attend to it ;" Tears filed the child's eyes
as she looked up and said, "Jesus Christ never
spoke so; he always had time
And how true is this. Jesus Christ is al
ways kind and compassionate; he has always
time to attend to the smallest want Of the
smallest one who comes to him. His ear IS
ever open to their cry. He will never beweary
or impatient; he will love you, and help you,
aud heal you. He is friend a all times, aad
in all circumstances. Are you in sorrow? Go
to Jesus. Are you frieudess? Go to Jesus,
Have you every blessing? Go to Jesus, for he
is greater than all: he can wipe your sins away,
and give you new heart and thankful spirit,
without which all your blessings will fail to
bless you.

what Thou Docst DO Quickly.

Quick, young man Life is short. A great
work is before you, and you have no time to
lose If you would succeed in business, win
your way to honor, and save your soul, you
must work quickly. The sluggard dies. The
wheels of time roll over him and crush him
while he sleeps Aim high, and work hard
Life is worth the living, death worth the dying,
because heaven is worth the gaining.
Quick, We men of might in the road of life !
Your life is more than half gone already. You
are going down the hill, and the shadows begin
to fall around you. If We have aught to do
before ye die, do it quickly. The morning has
fed, mid day has passed, and the night cometh.
Quick, ye aged men, quick Once you
thought three score years and ten to be an end
less time, and that they could never pass away.
They have come, they have gone, and what
have you left The days of pleasure are pass ID,
and the days of darkness are here. Have you
left any work ndone? Have you come to in,
frmities and trembling with no preparation for
death? All, quick ye aged fathers and grey
bearded sires. Already are the messengers of
death beginning to tender their services; to
bring you to the sepulchres of your fathers
With the feeble remnant of existence struggle
for heaven. Work, pray, seek, while life fingers,
mercy waits, and God is gracious.
