Although there are many charities constant
ly asking help from a generous public, the
managers of the Home for Aged Men feel that
the time has come for them to press their
claim. Money enough has been raised TO pur-
chase the valuable property on the corner of
Dauforth and Park streets, but portion of
the house must be furnished, and there must
be assured sources OF income, or actual funds
in hand on opening the house. 1t was at frs
proposed to obtain permanent fund large
enough to support the institution, but the
managers are now forced to ask themselves il
they have any right to wait for this when the
claims of those deserving their help are 80 con-
stantly urged upon them, consequently they
have decided to ask for further dons tons and
annual subscriptions to enable them to open
the house at once. All the larger donations
will be transferred to the permanent fund
Smaller sums will be used for the running ex.
peBses. Any amount however small will be
gratefully received.
The managers believe that there cannot be a
professional man, merchant or mechanic who
will not be glad to aid in this benefcent object
of providing pleasant home for the worthy,
honest industrious citizens whom misfortune
and old age have overtaken.
All those willing to aid in this noble work
will please send their subscriptions to Eben
Corey, Treasurer, 1876 Commercial street.

past We regret to say that the receipts of the
year have fallen behind some of the past years,
but are earnestly hoping that the ladies' of our
city Will become more and better acquainted
with our work, and so be constrained to give
more freely OF both time and money. It is 10 wo
men We appeal because it is woman's work
among women and children who, through
misfortune of one kind or another, have been
brought TO poverty and want. Gases could be
cited where, by the aid which we have been
able to render, many have sustained them
selves in comparative comfort. A pair of
boots, shoes, stockings, materials for dress,
few articles of underwear or bedding, usually
to oe made mp by the recipient and always &C
compaEed by the kind and encouraging words
of the visitor, will often give relief when with
holQlng would entail extreme suffering, and
even death. AS far as possible every case is
thoroughly investigated before assistance is
rendered.
