A CALL FOR AID. —The Ladies Benevolent Association, is obliged to make an urgent ap peal to the citizens of our town for aid to carry on its work. The past severe winter has draws so heavily upon our funds, that notwithstanding the liberal Bupport given us in November, our Treasury is exhausted, the unusual number of cases of sickness have demanded onr attention; the extream cold weather has made onr coal bills necessarily high; provisions, and clothing though pru dently dealt out, have rapidly used up our money, and in order to prosecute our work we must have help. Our appeals have here tofore been promptly responded to, and we believe the present one will not be unheeded. By order of the President, Mrs. Dr. 11. C. PORTER. Mrs. It, M. WELLES, Sec'y. March 20th, 1881. ORIGIN OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY. IN the year 1617, when VINCENT, the eminent Roman Catjiolic Saint, was one day going up the pulpit at Chatillon, a lady who had come to hear him preach detained him for a mo ment witli the request to make mention in his service of a poor family living about half a league from Chatillon, where ihere was much sickness and great need of help. He was asked to recommend this family to the chari ty of the congregation. This he did with such effect that several of the people set out on leaving the church to visit the poor fami ly and took with them bread, meat and other things for their relief. After vespers VIN CENT went also to visit them, and was sur prised to meat so many of the people coming back. His practical eye at once perceived that the matter had been carried to excess. — The poor people received far more than they could use. Many of the provisions would be spoiled before they could be availed of, and the family for whose benefit these offerings were intended would he as badly off as be fore. VINCENT began to think that system and organization was needed. He formed a parochial association, which he called the Confraternity of Charity, and out of this little streamlet of good works at Chatillon grew a vast organization for the benefit of the poor.
