THE POOR.

New-Year's day was celebrated at Pine.
Street Baptist church by pound-party for
the benefit of the poor Of the church. A
large quantity Of articles, principally food
and clothing, were contributed, and much
suffering will thereby be relieved.
There are many worthy families, white
and black, in this city, in great destitution.
The amount Of suffering relieved by church
and benevolent organizations is known to
but few outside Of the active workers in
the cause Of practical charity. 1t is very
great, but they cannot do all that is neces-
sary. Not only are there many without
fuel or proper clothing, but without food.
Those that are blessed with means to give
.ought,to bestir themselves at once. Not O
few prosperous people, kindly disposed,
would give freely, but they know not where
to bestoW their aims. They do not person
ally know the deserving poor, and are
afraid of being imposed upon.
! The police, for instance, can conduct
such to, families in the most distressing
want, where they will meet faces pinched
with hunger, see hearths without a blaze
upon them, and be confronted with poverty
in people who are too proud to beg, too
honest to steal, and yet would be glad to
have help.
