The CoNcERT FOR THE PooR.-The Con-
cert given by the M@nDerchor last night
for the relief of the poor of the city was a.
most decided successmusically though not
go great one financially as we hoped to
see, though handsome sum was realized.
The programme was finely rendered. Of
most OF the performers we have already
spoken in terms of the warmest approba-
tion. They stand high in the estimation of
our citizens. A new feature added to the
attractiveness of the Concert last night-a
due sang by Miss Fannie M. Smith and Miss
Elite Ridgway. Miss Ridgway' g voice is a
rich, powerful alto, and her style is easy
and graceful. She will prove powerful
acquisition to the Mmnnerchor Concert.
We were glad to see that our suggestions
in regard. to the light on the stage had met
with favor, and had resulted in the addi-
tion of glass globes being placed over the
burners, vastly improving the stage light.

L IL.
Barnes.sor Morse, whose confidence game,
at the Neil House and subsequent attempt
ed suicide in the calaboose we have already
chronicled, seems determined to make a
sensation item of himself. On Monday
last, as we have already stated, the Mayor
sent him to the st. Francis Hospital. Yes
terday morning, about II o'clock, he tried
to end his mad career by making plunge
through a window in the third story. He
managed to carry away about half the sash
in,his attempt to jump out. He was caught
by the leg by one of the attendants in the
room, and was thus thwsrted in this, his
second attempt at suicide. The Sisters say
he has been very insane during the week.
He seems determined to keep on trying to
shuttle off his coil, and he will make the
trip yet.ia F. isss5 Z.

Two Christmas Ewes.

A beautiful little story, fret printed In
the youths Companion" and copied
into the Free Press, has lately interested
us all, 1t was written by Vermont lady
and the scene was laid at our "Home for
Destitute Children" Il has drawn all
hearts towards that Institution, and we
doubt not, quietly slipped many purses
string.
But there is ono little story which is 10
every particular true and real, and ia the
testimony of one the little ones herself to
the good that has been done.
last Christmas eve, Trough the Kind
ness of many, who remembered their own
childish delight in ''Santa Claus" tree
laden with the wonderful fruit which
some evergreens are wont to bear at that
''merrie, time, sp,ang up mystcriously in
the schoolroom Of the "Home, like
Jonah's, Gin night" At a given signal
the door opened and troop of little folks
walked in. The venerable ''St Nichalas
sat in his sleigh, without the reindeer, J
by the help of some Of his deputies glad
dened each little one by n pretty gift
Among this company was a sweet little
girl who had gone from there to- live in a
good home near by, but is almost daily
allowed to join in some Of the the exer-
cises at her first real homo which she loves
dearly. She was not forgotten on the
tree.
After she had gone away the lady with
whom she lived noticed that she sat quiet
ly by the window, and che asked her what
she was thinking of. "Oh!" she answ-
cred, 81 never expected to DO 30 happy
l WINS thinking of three years ago 1t was
very cold and it showed, and / saw a
bright light up in window, 80 climbed
up on fence and looked in Oh ! such
beautiful tree +! And just then little
girl came up and beautiful lady gave
her II doll, most AS big as she was, and a
boy book, and they got ever SO many
pretty things and it was 50 warm and
bright IN there And by-and-by Jumped
down and went homo, and (the little vol &c
trembled) we had no fire, and 10 light,
and my father lay on the floor drunk
And o, dear just think of mo now,

These are childs words and child's
thoughts; but what can be more appro.
pirate praise for that kind heart who,
with the aid Of a very few at first, and OF
many now, remembering who said
Suffer little children to come unto Me, -"
has so beautifully helped to care for the
lambs of His flock,
Burlington, W., Aug. 18th, 1858.
