A severe Winter for the Poor-Wbnt shall
be Done to Alleviate Their snncrings.
The leaden skies and chilly winds OF Novem-
iIer remind us that tho winter season Ia near at
hand, and that the gaunt fingers OF want and
lestltution arc coming on apace to suppcatc,
with pinched and hsggard features, with hollow,
sepulchral voice, with half-clad trembling limbs,
with outstretched, bony hands, the sympathy.
ing look and generous response Of meek.eJcd,
heaven-botn charity.
Fortunately there are in ,hls city, among all
denominations OF Christians, benevolent sOcie-
ties, organized especially for the amcouatlon
OF the forlorn condition OF the poor. These as
sGciatlons have done and will no doubt continue
suffering whenever and wherever found. Our
national and local authorities, too, have been III
the habit OF voting annually liberal npproptla,
tions for the benent OF the deserving poor, an,l
this comnendable custom viii doubtless he fol-
lowed, as It ought to be, so leng as the eSigen.
cles OF the poverty stricken demand such rellef.
But always, In q large community ike ours,
especiaily among cosmopolitan population like
| that Of the national metropolis, there are many
| who, by adverse fortune, are often made TO reel
bitter sting ~ o. poverty ana 70 w nw
even by the searching eyes Of the dispensers OF
public allmony. They are too proud to beg and
aIe lie OF oY hunger re and cold rather than appear as
/ public mendicants or violate one Of the COM
| maniments Of God. Private charity, however
willing aud ready, cannot always iehl up WIN WIN
unable to reach snch hidden depths cf misery
| anl wretchedness,
THE PREVAILING NoSErARy rAsIo,
now beginning seriously TO affect the Industrial
and business classes, Will add q yet darker hue
10 the shadows that fall upon the novels OF the
poor during the severity OF winter. Here, In
Washington, up to the present time, we have
been fortunately spared the pain OF witnessing
much suffering, because the season has, unit
within day or two, been propltious for out
door work, and our extensive District improve
mens have Afforded employment TO many hun
dreds OF our mechanics and laborers; but, In th'
very nature Of things, the works now In pro
gress both of public aud private character
must, to q considerable extent, be SUSPENDED
during the severity OF the coming winter, an
much want and suffering must necessarily b'
the consequence among those who have neglect
ed to provide for the "rainy day."
II behooves our charitable citizens, therefore
to bear In mind the wants aud necessities o
those who, during the inclemency Of winter, o
! which We had foretaste yesterday, VIII b
, obliged to endure the paug Of hunger and tn
blight OF cold, unless relieved by those voluu
! tsfy offerings Of charity, which help the give
more than the receiver, aud invoke Tor IA IN
