Description
Excerpt from Random Roaming
The last paper I most earnestly commend to the atten tion of those who belong to the wealthy classes and who have a real desire to devote a portion of their wealth to add to the comfort and happiness of the needy and the strichen. Never a wech passes by without an announce ment appearing in the newspapers that some benevolent person has given thousands for promoting the well-being of the poor in our towns. God forbid that I should say one word which could imply that I regard such munifi cence as other than noble and sure to carry a blessing with it. But this I do venture to say, that we are in our time so mastered by the pressure of the masses, so awed.
