Promptness in Charity.

The benevolent Dr. Wilson once discovered a clergyman at Bath, who, he was informed, was sick, poor, and had a numerous family. In the evening he gave a friend fifty pounds, requesting him to deliver it in the most delicate manner, and as from an unknown person. The friend said, “I will wait upon him early in the morning.” “You will oblige me, sir, by calling directly. Think of what importance a good night’s rest may be to that poor man.”
