THE PooR.-An Exchanges The
\ coming winter is unqucstionably to
NO severe one, even in the mildest
asp4 of weather, to the largest class
of poor people who of necessity have
been kept out of work the greatest
part Of the year. The times have
been exceptionally stringent, and
many persons who have been accus-
toned to free and generous living
have been compelled TO curtail ex-
pcnses in every possible way; SO it is
not to be wondered at, that those
who have always found life hard
struggle at best should now be Sc
vercly pinclled, and will be as the
cold season comes on, greatly troubled
to obtain the smallest comfort-even
the protection that is required to
'keep body and soul together" But
as we can all forseo the suffering
that is to come, each one Of us should
prepare to contribute in some meas
urc toward its alienation. Clothing
fuel and food will all be needed, and
each one in his own ncighborhood
may do the part of the Good Samari
tan, and receive not only tho rich
reward of Thanksgiving from great
full blessings from above. Remember
that "the poor We have always with
us" and let none who are we'll pro
vided with comforts fail to perform
their share of charitable work during
the cold and blcakne5s of the APP
preaching winter,

organized to lIberate thsm, and the
effort proved successful alter the poor
captives had passed one hundred and
twenty-five hours In that subterranean
prison. They were, however, in very
exhausted condition. They had taken
with them provision for three days con-
sumption and three liters of wine. These
though pnrtaken of with the most ex-

hausled; but they had the good fortune
TO discover spring OF pure water. For
two days their light lasted; aterward
they were in total darkness. When the
pangs Of hunger became intolerable they
ate their tobacco and gnawed Jumps OF
wood. They had made up their minds
to die when they were rescued; out sub
sequently all did we'll.
