His charity begins at home, where be can see tbe good it does. It was no doubt ia soak a mood as this, that ha conceived am executed tbe enterprise which to-day has re suited ia ornamenting our eity with a build ing worthy of the name of'‘Widows' Home. The election of that clam of worthy ladies whose unfortunate circumstances have betel them of tbe comforts of borne, and made them too often friendless and I one, was certainly Vmioently proper end wise. Alas, bow often them truly deserving and praiseworthy voesen have snflered the pangs of penury and want, raftered of disease and misery, rafferac for home, suffered for friends, and “found them not.
