This isa Day and This the Season
To remember the unfortunate poor.
There are in u city many poor peo-
pie in want and suffering with cold.
Where these suffcrings fall on the
adult, in health, who has by his own
folly, his want of industry and his bad
habits, brought upon himself this suf-
fering, and who refuses by efforts
which he has it in his power to make,
10 supply his wants III such case we
say our sympathy is not keenly arous-
ed, but when the devoted sad wife or
the widowed poverty stricken mother,
with her poorly clad, halfstarved flock
Of children about her, falls under our
eye, or a few moments of reflection as
we sit around our well spread tea
board, or at our comfortable firesides,
call to mind; then unless the heart is
steeled to putting away these things
from our minds and smothering ma
lures promptings, we must feel ready,
willing, and sincerely anxious to throw
in, each who can, his little mite, that
he will not miss, to aid these suffering
little ones OF least. A contribution
box graces the post Office lobby, in
which generous deposits may be made.
A committee ofladies from the church,
es will be daily or weekly handed the
donations, to be by them distributed.
Five OF ten cents each day or week,
from the hundreds who spend more
uselessly, would work wonders in the
hands Of the ladies.
