The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till
they are 11 years of age.
With the view 1 o secure the election of the most deserving
cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas-
sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers.
The voting papers contain a description of each ease, 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 e igible for free admission.
This Home was opened in April. 1864. It was designed to
take a the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify the i for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
ag. precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are th-se
who, from neglect, are already on the roa 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 re ief,
and who are now friendless orphans Such are those whose
parents are breakers of t e law, or are in prison, and who
train their children in the same path. Such are those whose
evil associations have already had their painful effect, and
must lead them to a lite of crime and misery.
There are now 50 little inmates trom about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 . and the Committee
would joy fully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait
for the neoest ary aubacriptions.
The Comeitiee feel constrained to p'ead for those who
cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the olr-
cumstani es of some vho hare been already admitted, they
ask—la it right to Mahe a widow and her t• roily paupers for
We because one of them (the naughty boy of the lam ly) runs
wild in the streets and is beyand her control ? Is it kind to
tell her, bf cause she has so large a family, that you will not
h 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that the. must
ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the b et we can for the
little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it
doiog to others se we would they should do unto us that when
these little ones have unnatural parents wh • turn them into
the streets, or force them by ill-'reattnent to " na away,"
none of us shelf d be found to are for them, to speak a kindly
weed to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th m ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, eacaing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's
k. eper?"
The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi-
dent from the police statis ics, which show that In London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 0 years of
ae.e, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom
were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis-
charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too
young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings
of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but
for the timely hell, afforded by such an Institution, must
otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli-
ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the State
he Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established
to revue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the
one hand, and the workhouse on tne other, and to endeavour
to make them useful members of society.
The daily routine of the Ins iturion presents all the fea-
tures of a home, a shoot, and a workshop. The little ones
are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals,
thi•ir suitable clothing. their hours of play and amusement,
and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every
morning is devoted to seho.,l work—reading, and writing,
and ciphering., and Scriptural instruction, with occasional
lessons in otjects and other subjects. But they are also
trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early
period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow,
they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after-
noons are occupied with various industrial occupations—
making brown paper bags for bankers, and white 1 aper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers tor any
who will buy them ; picking the coil for Ihe mats, mending
the c others, dm. Some assist the master in the garden,
digging., planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By
degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing
and sweeping, while the elder ones dean all the boots,
knives, dm. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active
working life.

2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance.
All children must be under 10 y-ars 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 admitted free will take place as
frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will
admit, till the Home is full; they will then be held period -

INTOXICATED RATS.—A few days ago a spirit-
dealer in Greenock, upon opening his shop in the
morning, was considerably astonished to find a couple of
very large rate lying behind the counter on their backs, and
kicking away in a very ludicrous manner. Seizing a bung-
starter he slew them on the spot, and shortly afterwards
discovered the cause of their eccentric conduct by ascertain..
ing that a tin basin which he had placed beneath the leaky
crane of a cask of strong Scotch ale had been nearly emptied.
The rats had no doubt been indulging freely, and, be-
coming top-heavy from the effects, met an ultimate fate
beforethey could stagger into their holes...Greardck Bra

A Queen's Plate over the for miles of the Beacon
Course, a Produce Stakes with [schia, Robin Hood, and
Crown Prince among the entries, and the match between
the Duke and Archimedes, helped to make up a card of much
higher interest than yesterday's. Breeze was the favou-
rite for her Majesty's guineas, and she had the race in hand
from the first, Dr. Syntax and Volatile giving in after the
first two miles, and Lady Hylda and Stanton being easily
shaken off on getting to the top of the hill. The Eighteenth
Triennial was looked on as a certainty for the Duke of
Beaufort's Ischia from her running at Goodwood and York,
but she must have been " off" to-day, for she was never in
the race, which was snatched from Baron Rothschild's
Robin Hood in the last few strides by Esca.
As the hour approached for tle great match the excite-
ment was almost equal to a Tin Thousand or a Cesare-
witch. Lord Stamford's horse vas favourite, and we need
scarcely add that his noble owner backed him with his
usual spirit. Though Carroll had to ride nearly three
stone overweight, his Lordship declined to avail himself of
the services of an older jockey, laving every confidence in
the lad's powers. Fordham wai on the Duke, and imme-
diately the hundreds of eyes tuned to the bottom of the
Rowley Mile descried the whiteflag chop, the scarlet and
white hoops of Lord Hastings were seen coming along
with a good lead. At the AlAgdon Mile bottom Archi-
medes drew up to him, anchor a few moments looked
going well, but gave way as he ascended the hill, and the
Duke came in an easy winner by three lengths. Great was
the cheering, and the Marquis and Marchioness, who were
on the Stand, received warm congratulations. It is diffi-
cult to account for Archimedes' running after his Leger
performance. We must take it as another proof, if one
were wanting, of the glorious uncertainty of racing.
The other events do not call for comment.

Robin Hood, lying wide bf his horses on the upper ground,
cut out the work at a good pace, but after running a couple
of hundred yards he was pulled back, and the lead was taken
by Esca, close in whose wake came Crown Prince and Ischia.
In these positions they ran into the " clip," where Wells
brought up Robin Hood, who, half-way in the cords, be-
came second, but failing to quite reach Lord Stamford's
colt he was beaten in the last stride by a head; three quar-
ters divided the second and third. Stilton was fourth, close
up, Ischia fifth, Giralda sixth, and Wild Briar last.

Crossbow, who, with Rejection at his girths, finished a
splendid race home, Crossbow winning in the last stride
by a head. Idler finished third, three lengths in their rear.

They got away at the first attempt, and ran together
some few lengths, when the running was taken up by
Mineral, Steamboat going on second, close up with whom
came Valerie, King Hal,
Clarionette, and Brenta. These
positions were retained into the cords, when Steamboat
headed Mineral, the two finishing a fine race home by a
length ; King Hal was a bad third ; Valeria was fourth,
Clarionette fifth, and Brenta next. The last two were
Slender and Master Shutt.

They left the post together, but scarcely had they pro-
ceeded half a dozen strides when Fordham sent his horse to
the front and came on with a clear lead, which he increased
to a couple of lengths as they neared the " Bushes-hill."
Here the favourite drew up, and on reaching the Abingdon-
mile bottom he got upon equal terms with his opponent,
but Fordham, allowing him no time, kept his neck ex-
tended to half-way in the cords, when he was beaten very
easily by three lengths. After the race 1,500 to 100 was
taken against the winner for the Cambridgeshire.
