the aid they have received to relieve the destitute,
by donations from individuals, also from more
public contributions, added to the subscription of
the members of the society to the amount of
S398 $40; also other donations in cloth, &c-whlch
they have endeavored TO use judiciously. They
have distributed to the needy two hundred and
fortv-five articles of clothing and bedding made
by their own hands; also three hundred and sew
enty-Gve yards of cloth to those who could make
their garments. Most of the families have been
visited by some member of the society to sscer-
tain their needs before contributing. They would
not encourage idleness or any evil habits but the
deserving poor they are willing to aid when their
wants are known.
They would again thank those who have made
them the almoners of their charity. 1t is a favor
able and gratifying sign Of the times when bust
ness or pleasure does not absorb the whole atten-
ton Of those engaged in active life, but there is
under current Of charity flowing out towards thos
who are destitute of the means Of enjoyment or
even the comforts of life. We know such cases
are mostly caused by intemperance or misconduct
or ignorance and ideness, but there are also the
unfortunate. The poor we shall always have.
The best charity is to teach the ignorant and neg
lected children to take of themselves. Our
attention has been attracted towards two little girls
who have been seen in streets during the in
clement winter, with little pails asking for food;
they were thinly clad, an outside garment wrapped
around them. 1 asked them if they had under
clothes; they said they were very ragged. then
enquircd if they could make themselves some gar
ments if we gave them cloth they said they could
not sew. One was eleven years old, the other nine
an age when children neglected in their homes
should be placed where they are taught to be
useful, or VIC must expect the evil consequences.

brought up in ignorance and iniquity, should not

ing up an effective organization and doing their
part towards maintaining the excellent reputation
of our fire department. 1t is comparatively easy
to do this in times of frequent fires, when the blood
is kept at fever heat in expecting an alarm but to
do it when fires are infrequent end the alarm is
seldom heard, requires strong faith and persever-
ance in well doing. The city government and cit

However much the ladies may disagree in re-

merry establishment was one that the ladies could
certainly appreciate and admire. Whoever will
visit the place and not be forced to admire, is tit
for treason, strategy and spoils. Passing by the
thousand and one articles usually found in such a
place, we come to notice two or three hats.
Among the first we noticed real white chip with
a light blue serge facing, with silk ofthe same
shade passing around the crown, while wreath OF
peach blossoms, thrown carelessy over the top,
produces an elegant effect. Another real chip
with buff brocaded scarf and sprays of coral
around the crown, with cardinal and buff face
trimmings, could not be passed unnoticed Still
another real chip with white brocaded scarf,
covered with sprays Of currants Saved from the
rayages of the currant worm) so natural that they
almost tempted our appetites; with black velvet
and cardinal face trimmings. One stylish hat was
produced by combining the most delicate shades
of pink and blue ribbon, having crushed roses at
the front and back. The opening will continue
to-day.
