BENEVOLENCE.
To the, Editor.
Sir, —Will you allow me through your paper to call the attention of the committee of the Benevolent Institution to the fact that every day a number of aood Samaritans pass the gates of the Institution, and could they see a box on those gates many of them might clrop ip—if pnly a penny—when no one is looking. Poor people, altfipugh they cannot give their subscription, like to help each other in their own small way. lam aware boxes are fixed in, all the banks, but many working people never enter a bank. I think a box outside the Post Office would he quicker filled, if only with coppers, and even tokens are worth something to melt; at any rate the experiment would not be expensive, -I am, Ac., J. B. February 7, 1872.
