This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to
take te the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those
who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are
those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and
left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose
parents may have at one time or other received parish reisef,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose

evil associations have already had their painful effect, and
must lead them to a life of crime and misery.
There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly 10% and the Committee
would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait
for the necessary subscriptions.
The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who
cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir-
cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they
ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
lire because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs
wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to
tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not
hi 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
ail go into " the house ?" Is it doing the bast we cantor the
little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it
doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when
these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into
the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to " sun away,"
none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly
word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's
keeper ?"
the Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established
to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the
one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour
to make them useful members of society.
The daily routine of the Institution present,' all the fea-
tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones
are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals,
th it suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement,
and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every
morninfr is devoted to school work—reading, and writing,
and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional

The mode of admission to the Elottse is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. B tys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and ttught till
they are 11 years ot age.
With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving
cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas-
sing, and they do not nrint any addresses of the subscribers.
The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care-
ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa-
tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to
those most eligible for free admission.
2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance.
All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of
admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any
time as soon as approved by the Committee,
Elections of children to be achaitted free will take place as
frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will
admit, till the Home is frill; they will then be held periodi-
