delivered g magnificent ndlress Gil the occasion
of the presentation Of prizes awarded bv the
Freuch Academy to those persons Of limited
means who had devoted themselves to the relief
of the Door. It is not the rich alone who should
be generous. aud II. Cuvllier has rendered ao
eloquent tribute to the deyotedness and charity
Of the poor, and to the Immense good which
results from their bsuerolence-
On this confront moro thnn elsewhere
our necaastous counirvncn nocd sue
cor. protection, and adylce. and it is this
which has occasoned the formation
OF benevolent societies. The enemies Of those
societies say: ''1f we havo anything to give
We will DO it without tho know ledge OF any per-
son." And yet. ri e1 one Of our fellow-country-
fuen goes to them aal declares his wants they
invariably reply: Z" Go to tle Benevolent So
ctetv: it is instituted for tho re'ief OF the poor.
We could furnish proofs OF seyc: al such il,s:a1-
ce1 OF hypocrisy which have occurred in Chicago
the part Of some persons, rich indeed in
other respects, but p:tiaby poor in the goods OF
the Lears. Tie French Benevolent Association,
then, should not have recourse to these men.
It would appeal in vain to their better feeli1 Gs.
They merely Lcarttess ayis:ocra:s, aud we
need not attempt to divert them from their
paths.
From, all appearances, the approaching winter
will be more severe than any previous one. Tue
number Of destitute persons will be larger,

will see her little children enter hai frozen, and
will have nothing to give them but the hot tears
flowing from her anguish AMI despair. Wn.n

will be without work, tho Le5patliag father will
