Tbe matter it spokeo of as some abstract proposi? tion iostead of ao awful reality at our very doors staring us io tbe face aod demanding immediate relief. Io our small city every ooe knows of some poor oeigbbor wbo bas bot little fuel, perhaps none. We cao see from tbe windows of our own homes tbe ghastly spectacle of tbe spectre wood pile. Pride aod proper self-respect may do much to shield tbe sad troth but we bear it Perhaps tbeir little ones unconsciously tell ours tbe iaa story. It may be only a bint that baby is sick aod we wish we bad at borne such a uice fire as you all have. We may try to dismiss it, saying 'tis oo doubt a mistake; but conscience makes a noble stand and urges us to give tbe needed aid. Wbeo tbe hand is almost exteoded, tbe base thought if we do not mind we will gel io the same fix oursvlves souods a cowardly retreat aod tbe first heav? ing of that splendid impure which might have been sounding in our heart to make it a channel of aid io answer to some agonized prayer perhaps from tbe hps of tbe fatherless or widow. If each oeigbbor acting individually would send thu needed aid, if he does not teel able to do so siogly get another to join, ali would be well. Above all carrry out tbe sacred injunction. Let not' your lett band know woat your right band aoelb. To tbe inquiry Wbo sent the <i8Bistaoce, let tbe answer, "TiS no mistake." Nor is it?
