A Seasonable Suggestion. Mr. Editor : With the advent of the terri? ble spell of weather now on us we hear on all sides the exclamation, "I.wonder bow the poor stand it in this terrible weather." The matter is spoken of as some abstract proposi? tion icstead of an awful reality at our very doors staring us io tbe face and demanding immediate relief. Io our small city every one knows of some poor neighbor wbo bas but little fuel, perhaps none. We can see from tbe windows of our own bome3 the ghastly spectacle of the spectre wood pile. Pride and proper self-respect may do rxuch to shield the sad truth but we hear it Perhaps their little ones unconsciously tell ours the ! sao story. It may be only a hint that baby ' is sick and we wish we bad at borne such a uice fire as you all have. We cay try to dismiss it, sacing 'tis no doubt a mistake; but conscience makes a noble stand and urges us to give the needed aid. When tbe hand is almost extended, the base tbougbt if we do not mind we will get in the same fix ourselves sounds a cowardly retreat and the first bear? ing of that spie?did impulse which might have been soundiog in our heart tu make it a channel of aid io answer to some agonized prayer perhaps from the lips of the fatherless or wijow. If eacb neighbor actiDg individually would send the needed aid, if be does not feel aoie to do so siogiy get another to join, al: would be well. Above all carrry out the sacred injunction. Let not" your lett bar.d know wost your right haod ooeth. To tbe icquiry WDo sent tac assistance, let the answer, ''T?s no mistake." Norisit?
