THE HOUSE OF REST"
Mr.. T. d. Gillespie, Su,t. So. TX.
Co, has mos, kindly PROMISED TO
send packages for 9TH, House of
Rest" in Charleston. :. G., free. pro-
vided they are not too large, aud are
not sent ofien.er than nee n monh
This great charity, The House OF
Rest" is worthy of all encourage,
ment. tor II is not only a hospital,
and an asylum for the destitute
aged, and for little children, but also
for that unhappy, %torlorn class OF
beings whose m~is1orfu,aes, quite as
often as vicious inclinations, lead
them Into the path of ,ha, sin from
which society in general Gems to
have cut off all retreat. These. as
indeed all others, are received into
this House OF Rest" regardless OF
faith or sect, and are given shelter,
food, and clothing free; While
every effort is made to induce them
to return TO a virtuous life and to
provide situations for those who are
willing to work.
In such a varied collection of indi
viduals, the wants are equally vari-
Gus. Clothing, (oM or neac0 ma,eri-
ais for making aprons, caps, infants
dresses, &C., old cloth for lint aud
bandages; soaps, and, indeed, any
and every article that can be made
use of as housekeeping stores, or tor
the sick room, will be most gladly
and thankfully received by the man
ayers Of thus institution.
The Supt. Of the Orphan Asylum
in Oxford says that they do not
wan. old clothes" there but in the
House of Rest" secondhand cloth
ing, if it is not 50 old and ragged as
to be actually beyond use, will be
gladly received.
Surely, COW that the gifts may e
, free of express charges, people mus
be willing to make some offerings tt
the sufferers in this asylum intt
whose sh%eltering arms are received
all who a possibly be accommoda
/, ted, no matter from whence the,
q may come, East or West, North o
South. Let US try and make up
box to send to them by Christmas
All who are inclined to favor thi
plan can. send their offerings (an'
remember that nothing is too small
:: to give, from a cake of soap, o
paper OF pins, up,) TO DR.. Cameron
u house where the box "a be packe'
d and SEN to the station. But if Their
are any who may prefer to sen
their gifts directly to The House Q
Rest the address is, Miss K.
Wagner, House of Rest, Ashle
y Street, Charleston, S. G.
b Mr.. Gillespie further promise
i, that as soon as they establish an 0
~ fee at Oxford, he will give us PEI

phan Asylum in that place free. Fo
IS which kindness he modes.ly di'
o. claims all thanks. #
