This Institution is designed to supply a great national
Want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
Service, and provides a home free of expense for former
Inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them froze the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increast,g applications through the
recent storms and loss of life at sea, and; o enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
Who may perish by war.
Subscriptions thankfully receiv by the bankers, Messrs
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill.

The mode of admission to the Ho'use is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till
they are 11 years o' 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 print 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.
This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to
take is the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify them 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 relief,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
parents are breakers of the 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 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 c!r-
cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they
ask—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
life 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
help her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
ail go into "the house 7" Is it doing the best we can for 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 "run 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 Ur m ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's
keeper ?"
The daily routine of the Ins'itution presents 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,
their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement,
and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every
mornimi is devoted to school work—reading, and writing,
and cipherimr, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional
lessons in objects 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 bazs for bankers, and white r aper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any
who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending
the c othes, &o. 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 clean all the boots,
knives, &c. 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 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 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 periodi-
cally
Forms of application for the admission of children may be,
had at the acme, and of the ilmorary Secretary,
