TONGUE AND NRgpLE. church sewing
society met Yesterday at the residence of Mrs
George R. Davis. An APPRAL reporter who
dropped in to look utter his character, found
that he had reached the scene too late to be
of any service to himself. The room was
strewn with the eorpses of slain regulations
Peace be to the spirits of the dead. While en-
gagged in the general work of destruction,
however, much good was done in the way of
making clothes for the poor. No woman who
plies the needle all the afternoon to cover
The shivering limbs of poverty ought to be
taken te task for the little invoices of feminine
gossip she happens to check off in the mean
time. Amy man who has grain of kindness !
Dr decency in his heart ought to be willing to |
place his character wholly at the disposal of |
anybody who would bnild up single well |
flannel shirt upon the ruins of his
reputation He loses little, for the characters
# most men are of small account anyhow, and !
ome friendless and world -forsaken orphan
las a wall of loving kindness erected between
lis tender skin and the pitiless winds of
'olds out.) Furthermore, a woman who is
Wiling to work for those less favored in life
nan herself is not able to indulge in gossip
hat does any harm. The charity in her
oul acts upon her thrusts like the buckskin
overing on the point of small sword. The
APPEAL is glad to be able to state that the
ociety will scarify the hides of the vul-
cradle and make pants for poor little boys
uring the coming Winter.
