lovoliness from otr heart, md live and die with
our own Garth all unknown, uneoon. but Huoh
ia our fate, aud this fhto eyades tho roalm Of
Ss thee sass ss0' Of just as + ass syad9s all tho
fore, TO bow to tho limitations OF love-
and OF money and OF Information,
and to wed oach himself Or herself to aomo ono
or moro Hpocinl charities, that thore ouo'a 1ovo
world shall fool its powor, and ones own heart
shall feel tho reflex influence Of its own gym
phthy. Wc do not 500 that Mr.. Summer COM
mitted any grave offonse whom ho turned nway
words that he was "liv{ng for the welfare Of .
race which mono o1ao would holp;" for 1t was
Just this concentration Of q soul upon ono groat
mission that not only 30 powerfully Affected tho
destiny q tho negro race, but which reacted 10
bonefaosor. All boneyolonce, TINT It should DO
iudiciouB1y applied, must BIO based upon in
formation aH to the object, and, that it may
bring happiness to the giyor, cannot DO based on
his love Of tho object. 4 gift bestowed without
cause, must only haEe brought annoyance to tho
soul that gavo.
t do not .knng what ,,nttor nan can do. whom
dollar each for unknown, or, at loast, uno.red-
for objects, than to Say !: "No; have studied
tho wants OF India, or Of tho sowing girls, and
would rathor pour my thousand dollars along
that channel Of my own information md fool,
upon the four Winds"
Ono reaaon nil our charities so annoy each
citizen may DO found IN tho fact TINT ho givca at
instoad Of by tho light and In Tia love Of Ills own
bosom. Each mans heart spreads ovor 30 many
objects tint its love nowhere Ia doep. Some ono

charity, by spreading over 80 wido fold, be-
comos shallow In thought, and also woak in Its
influence upon tho bonofactor. Our NOR
IONS, arc distracted BY . limo Of agents,
who urge thom to part with a few dollars
Tor oaoh ono OF their crying moods, and forth

Banks; but, ut the close Of . long life, the good
sorrowful world, his memory hoing confined
to the fact TINT bio has In his day boen harassoa
BY q thousand agents, and has parted with
| $40, 000. Charity ia robbed OF all It's beauty
and it's reflex influence, whenever the solicitor
becomes moro conspicuous than the object Tint
necds our love, and whom tho gift has not dono
! something tor An object we understand and lovo,

! may do somebody somo good, but it has

eylaont meaning Of charity Is two-foll; 1t

God evidently has not sent tho miserable into
the world only that thoy may be cared for, but
that those maY bo made moro no1lo who help
them. The blind have not come into being. FOR
their own sake alone, but for tho sake Of thoao
who havo tho gift Of sight. Hence, charity is q
high education Of thoao who bestow it. It
should, therefore, follow tho limo OF onos own n-
tellgence aud love. But the large Sums given
by our public mon are not often bestowed along
tho path Of their special study and love, but
along tho line Of their impationco; in Huna not
that carry out . cherished idea, but that will de-
liyor them from tho presence Of that agent for
year at least. They have not helped tic suffer-
ing world; thoy have only cleared thoir Office OF

Every ono should hayo some form OF charity
which he has studied mud now loves, and then 1,o
gives to 1t as loving mother gives something to
lor faithful child. :" Il blcsseth him that gives

leuce is more and more becoming subdivided,
and certain hearts arc following their own atudy
