The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
Ist. By election of the subscribers. Buys thus admitted
are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till
they are 11 years 01 age.
With the view to 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, 1861. It was designed to
take In the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify the e 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 101, 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—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
lite 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
h 1p her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
ail go into " the house ?" Is it doing the beet 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 "t nn 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 th.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 necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi-
dent from the police statistics, which show that in London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of
age, 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 help afforded by such an Institution, must
otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli
ante and self-help be permanent burdens to the State.
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 Inseiturion 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
morning is devoted to school work—reading, and writing,
and ciphering. and Scriptural instruction, with occasional
lessons in oljects 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 Ihe 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 for any
who will buy them ; picking the coil for ihe mats, mending
the c other, &c. 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 elean all the boots,
knives, etc. 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 adaitted 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 Home, and of the Honorary Secretary,

The Cattle Disease.

MISS BURDETT COUTTS'S HERD OF
COWS.

The fine herd of Ayrshire cows at Holly Lodge,
Highgate, the property of Miss Burdett Coutts, has
been literally swept away during the last week or
BO by the disease which is now so prevalent amongst
cattle. This herd munbered 20 cows of the purest
Ayrshire breed, and an Alderney bull. One cow
has recovered from the disease, and the bull was
unaffected by it. The cow that has survived was
condemned by Mr. Mayor, the veterinary surgeon
who examined the herd ; and, strange to relate,
the surviving animal, according to the testimony of
Roach, the herdsman, was pronounced to be in the

very worst condition, and the medium through
which the disease was communicated to the other
animals.

The destruction of this herd by the cattle disease
suggests one or two reflections as to its origin and
nature. Every one of the presumed causes of the
disease was absent, and yet it attacked the animals
with the utmost virulence, and no amount of reme-
dial skill could allay its severity or arrest its pro-
gress. We need scarcely remark that Miss Coutts,
on being apprised of the disease manifesting itself
in the herd, gave immediate orders that everything
should be done that could be, not only with the
view of saving her own property, which, by the
bye, was a secondary consideration with that bene-
volent lady, but for the express purpose of bone-
fitting the public, who are anxious to acquire some
knowledge as to the cause and character of the
disease.

First, let us remark that the herd had been some
time at Holly Lodge, therefore it was not tainted
with any imported cattle. Secondly, the herd was
in excellent condition, and several of the cows were
yielding from 16 to 18 quarts of milk per day.
Thirdly, the sheds in which the animals were milked
are clean, airy, lime-washed, and every kind of
odure removed, besides being also well gravelled. The
pasture on which they fed might be termed not only
good, but rich, and the water which they drank was
as pure as water well can be. In short, so far as food
and treatment could go to keep a herd of cattle in
first-class condition, they were everything that could
be desired. Yet the animals sank rapidly, and some
of them exhibited the wont characteristics of the
disease. Roach, the herdsman, who was deeply
affected by the loss of his herd, informed us that as
mere stimulants given to the animals, after certain
severe purgations, there had been consumed by two
cows alone (one of which has survived) eight bottles
of whisky, two gallons of brandy, two dozen and a
half of port wine, and other strong drinks, all of
which were of no avail, except in the solitary in-
stance named.

The cattle, under the several stages of the dis-
ease, exhibited the usual phenomena of pleuro-pneu-
monia. They appeared, ordinarily speaking, either
excited, with staring gaze, protruding eyeballs, and
watery eyes, or depressed and relaxed, with a dull
dim look, and a flow of mucus from the eyes and
the nose. In all the animals a cold shivering, and
a coolness of the horn, the ear, and the extremities
were apparent, with staring coat, trembling of the
muscles, and increased respiration. Foam and saliva
flowed from the mouth, and the lungs of the ani-
mals exhibited the same appearance, being much be-
yond their natural size in almost every instance.—
Obser'ver.
