not, perhaps, occurred-to the consideration of'the

worth and necessities of eaoh sox; it will- be seen'
that neither should be found wanting; and that both
are more than sufficient to excite to bounty ami to '
benediction in thought, and word, and deed. The
names of the ladies who have engaged.in the design,
and who have .coroperated imits completion, include'
some of the first in the city. Their,j endeavors have
been- continued with quietness,, yet with energy.
