while, poor fool, we have given away
several hundred dollars Of our hard earn
Ings, we generally tried to discriminate
between necessity and publicity, We
admire the suggestion Of the American
per Sc, but We cannot understand whv
gifts should be made to those who need
them not, and thousands equally de
serving are in saddest want. The Home
journal is second to none in condemnup
the very atrocous act of human devil
who cowardly attempted to assassinatc
the President, and in wishing that the
lllustrlous victim may recover and live
many days. In an affair Of this kind we
forget all differences as to politics, Just
as the American does. But we cannot
see why the fact that man is Presi.
dent-Prcsidcnt, perhaps, through the
wrc-working Of his friends, if not him
make him in sickness any
more an object Of charity than thous-
ands OF others who are equally deserv-
ing. But, if We were Mrs. Garfield we
would take all the fools are disposed to
give. She has acted like noble wife,
and the President has born his injury
with heroic for,tudc. We know Of
scores Of persons who are "poor but
honest" who have borne as nobly under
greater Affections, and had no gifts Of
BID wine, brandy, money, &c, But
'nough We hope the President and

should not, with $4,000 Il year and
friends to give 50 freely in thcir-pros-
