The Apnroach Of Winter.

Winter Is now at hand, and with it TO

This Is q time 10 submit 10 evils which
can be borne rather than to commit ones

an employee may believe that he is
not sufficiently remunerated for the labor
which he is performing. He may
think that demands arc made upon
him which are not altogether fair.
But it is q thousand times better
that he should bear these ills, unless they
become uncomfortable, than that he should
leave his place without any assurance
that he can obtain another situation. Or,
man may be engaged in business
which ia not yielding him more than q

to those who are In need. The hest Gid
to such as are able to work is 10 tunish
them with something to do, itthst Is pa.
aible, and to remunerate them for It. The
worst aid very often is the indiscriminate
giving Of money to such as solicit charity.
Frequently the contribution is spent in a
way which only sggravates the evil
which It is designed 10 remove. Those
who have had most experience in such
matters universally testify that personal
visitation Is indispensable to the proper
and desirable distribution Of charity
TO the needy. In cities like New
York, where there are organizations for
the relief Of almost every kind Of distress,
the people are urged by the wisest and
best Of the citizens TO support these Ius,i-
tutions 10 far as deserving, and TO commit
the practice Of dispensing benefcence TO
them. In smaller places where there are
no such organizations personal attention
by individuals should! meet the same ne.
