Rain again-worse and more of it. Last
night was probably the most disagreeable
of the week-rain and cold; but still the
ladies were at their posts, anxiously await
ing the coming of their friends. Many of
them came, but hundreds remained at
home, seemingly too timid to braFe the
storm. We may truly say Of the ladies
and their generous friends who have at
tended the Fair every night this week
Think not the good,
The noble deeds Of mercy YOU have done,
Will die forgotten. The fatherless,
Who daily own the b0Hnty of your hands,
VIII cry to heaven, and PHU Gszs blessings on
YOU.
One. of the pleasantest features of the
Orphans Fair is the happy comningling of
genial spirits, of large hearts, illustrating
an old saying, which Hns somewhat as fol-
lows:
.In faith and hope the world viii disagree,
But all mankind's concerned in charity.n
Now, gentlemen, we insist that you fol-
low the example of these good ladies, and
turn III in force. Bear in mind the fact
that
Nothing truly can be termed your own
But what you make your own by using well.
Those deeds Of charity which Won have done
Shall stay forever with YOU; and that wealth
Which y0u have 80 bestowed, you only keep; 81
Tn other l. not yours
Make up your minds to be at the hall
early tonight, despite the weather, and
thus materially relieve the ladies from much
labor and anxiety. The ladies know no
such word as fail-with Gods blessing.
