A WORK OF CHARITY.-The Catholic Mirror,
of Baltimore, says 'sthe Sisters Of Mercy, at
Charleston, S. c.. were compelled to purchase
a home for the orphans, the United States
Senate having failed to concur in the PROPOSE
ton to rebuild the Asylum. The charity Of
these ladies would not hesitate before the
greatest sacrifices when the helpless little
ones, of whom they have assumed the charge
in the name of the Father, were without Shelf
er. To procure this shelter, they have neces-
sarily incurred heavy debt, and their scanty
resources scarcely permit them to meet the
regular payment of instalments and interest.
They are organizing fair to help them out
of their present embarrassments. and they
authorize us to say that should our lady friends
have any articles to spare from their numcr-
our charities, they will be gratefully accepted
By the Sisters of Mercy Of Charleston for their
Fair
ITO this modest request, we add that the
charity OF the ladies of Baltimore knows no
bounds, and the object for which an appeal is
now made to it is too sacred to be net with
Indifference. We hope our friends, far and
near, will find something to spare for this
good work. any packages, money, &C., lett
at Messrs. Kelly, 2!et & Co.'s, No. 174 West
Baltimore street, for the Sisters of Mercy OF
Charleston, S. c., will be duly forwarded"
