HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.O.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass th©
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, tbo prayers of the destitute will
bo offered in your behalf.

Sir W. Box-ILL, in proposing the toast of the even-
ing—" Success to the Worplesdon Ploughing So-
ciety"—said he had on former occasions called at-
tention to the progress that had been made in the
parish during the time he had been a resident, and
he had witnessed with pleasure the exertions that
had been made and the various improvements which
had been effected throughout the parish. Several
years ago it was suggested that things were in that
condition when a little further progress was desir-
able, and that the Worplesdon Ploughing Associa-
tion should be established in order that some im-
provement might be effected in the condition of the
agricultural labourers, and that more attention
should be turned to the discussion of agricultural
subjects. At first the number of members was small,
and many persons held aloof because they thought
it would not be possible to form and support an in-
dependent association. Many of the farmers looked
on with a considerable degree of distrust ; but as
time went on they all became satisfied of the ad-
vantages which would be conferred by the society
both on the employers and the employed, and an
opportunity was afforded of giving prizes to the
agricultural labourers. (Cheers.) For his own part
he had watched with much interest the mode in
which the labourers had received the prizes, the in-
terest with which they had looked forward to the
annual meetings of the society, and the anxiety they
had manifested to bring their wives and children
together on such occasions. He knew of no insti-
tution which had produced greater good among the
vast body of the farmers and labourers through-
out the parish. He believed that every society
which associated the clergy, the gentry, and all the
inhabitants of a parish, and brought them into com-
munication with the labourers, did good not only
for one day, but throughout the whole period of the
year. He always looked forward with pleasure to
the annual gathering of the Worplesdon Association,
and was glad to find that the rector and the majo-
rity of the farmers put aside their engagements in
order to enable them to be present. (Cheers.) The
farmers, whether large or small, took a great plea-
sure in associating together at these festivals, and
he believed they found that they were attended with
advantage as well as pleasure, for they produced a
considerable amount of emulation and improve-
ment. (Cheers.) It might have been that on the pre-
sent occasion sufficient interest had not been excited
to induce the ploughmen to keep up their ploughing,
or the nature of the ground might have prevented
them from displaying a proper amount of skill in
the field. But if he had read aright the expression of
the countenance of those who had received the prizes,
they would be stimulated to greater exertion on
future occasions; and he felt quite satisfied that those
who had competed, but had been unsuccessful, would
be stimulated by the rewards offered—by the sub-
stantial advantages derived by the successful compe-
titors—to improve themselves in the modes of culti-
vation. (Cheers.) The farmers, he was happy to say,
had liberally come forward on the present occasion.
There were certainly some who still stood aloof, but
hoped the example which had been set them, and the
large gathering which had taken place, would show
them that the Ploughing Association of Worplesdon
was highly appreciated by the farmers and the neigh-
bourhood at large, and that they would assist it by
increased contributions. (Cheers.) There were few
landowners in the parish, and the great proprietors
in the district were generally unable to be present.
He believed that the lauded proprietors who could
attend were glad to meet those persons who stood in a
different position, and were always willing to discuss
and consider the position of the landlords and tenant
farmers assembling together, whether in that or any
other parish. (Hear, hear.) He himself paid some
attention to the reports of the agricultural societies
and the various matters which they discussed. He
observed that some of the farmers were in favour of
long leases, while others preferred annual tenancies.
But he believed there was nothing which tended
more to promote the interests of the farmers in con-
nection with the labourer than an inter-community
of feeling between the two—that feeling which
enabled a master to keep a man for 27 years, two
instances of which had occurred in the parish ; and
there was another case in which a man had lived in
his place for 16 years. (Cheers.) He believed that
such circumstances could occur only from there
being a deep sympathy existing between the em-
ployers and the employed, that best bond of all good
feeling and fellowship, which he hoped would con-
tinue to extend throughout the parish, producing
many competitors for the prizes for length of service
at every meeting of the association. (Cheers.) Such
feelings reflected as much credit on the employers as
the men, and if they could all boast of retaining
servants for long periods- of years Worplesdon
would be one of the happiest parishes in England.
(Cheers.) There were boys of 16 who had lived
with their masters for periods varying from six to
four years, setting a good example to others. There
was another important matter deserving of notice,
and that was the friendship which existed among
all classes. He had read leases and covenants and
deeds by which a man was made dependent on his
landlord ; but he believed there ought to be the
same identity of feeling between landlord and tenant
—(hear, hear).- —and better than the security of
leases was the feeling that each could rely on the
other. (Cheers.) Ile believed that every landlord
in the country would be glad to have such tenants
as Mr. Burt, two of whose servants had carried
off prizes for length of service—a tenant on whose
honour and position a landlord might safely rely
without a lease or document of any kind.
(Cheers.) This was a sort of tenure which he
should like to see prevail, and he was not sure
whether for the last 50 years Mr. Burt and those
who preceded him had not gone on without Ile ngl
scrap of paper as a security. (Cheers.) bee
lieved that the interests of both landlords and
tenants would be Lost promoted by
cultivating the
good feeling which existed on the part of Mr. Burt
and his landlord, and then they would be able to
perform their relative duties without a leaseec as
such
well
as with one. (Cheers.) He was glad to s
a large gathering, and if the association went on in-
creasing as it had hitherto done, he believed
that it would be necessary to erect a large tent for
the accommodation of the visitors. The success of
the association was complete, and he invited all pre-

Recent events in the United States are awaken-
ing a new and increased interest in this distinguished
American citizen. Those who carefully watched
his career at the commencement of the great war
for the Union clearly saw what was before him as
a military man. His campaigns at the West and
South-west were plain indices of what might be
safely expected of him in the future. Early in the
year 1863 his extraordinary talent for combination
and strategy became apparent. At that time there
were those in Washington, gentlemen devoted to
the service of the country and the public press, who
were earnest and persistent in their appeals to the
Government that he should be called to the
front, and kept there, in supreme command.
Nothing of the kind was plainer, to those who
understood GRANT, than that he was the master
spirit of the most successful movements in the Val-
ley of the Mississippi. The grasp of his control-
ling mind was felt from Cairo to Vicksburg, from
Atlanta to New Orleans. It was a fortunate day
for America when he was called to mass the entire
force of the country on Richmond. The cry "On
to Richmond !" had a significance in it then it had
never had before ; and in the mouth of such a man
as GRANT it was indeed potential.
Our object in this article, however, is not to
review the life of this celebrated commander
in the field. Its record is before the
world, and must pass down to posterity side
by side with that which contains some of the
greatest names of military history. We speak of
him now as a man, as an American citizen, as a
living representative of the Republican idea. In
order to understand Ulysses Sydney Grant per-
fectly, we must view him in all these aspects. It
should be borne in mind that he has not spent all
his active life in the army. It must also be re-
membered that he sprang directly from the ranks
of the working people of America. Born of indus-
trious parents, who by their own labour had made
their way in the world, he was taught in his youth
the honour and value of virtuous daily toil. Al-
though placed at a comparatively early period
in the United States Military Academy, at West
Point, and sent forward, soon after his graduation
as a cadet, to the field of war in Mexico, and to
arduous camp duties on the Indian frontiers, his
record shows that he never for a moment lost his
concern as an American citizen in the affairs of his
native country. He studied Mexican interests, not
merely to learn how to subjugate them by the
sword, but how they might be developed by the
plough. He made himself familiar with American
frontier developments, not only that he might keep
off savage marauders, but that he might open them
up to civilisation, commerce, and the arts. Re-
turning from these scenes of peril and priva-
tion, he sought the peaceful shades .of private
life, voluntarily resigned his position in the
army, and engaged in mercantile business. Day
by day he mingled with his fellow-citizens. lie
studied their institutions, their trades, their laws,
their internal improvements. Educated well, a man
of reading, a traveller of observation, quick to per-
ceive and execute, surrounded by friends of means
' and influence, he might, and doubtless would, have
risen to some post of civil distinction, had not his
imperilled country again called him to the field of
battle—to him, at last, the field of honour, that
exalted him to the highest military post ever occu-
pied by any citizen of tl.e United States.
But the leading features of the character of
GRANT go beyond this. His mind is so constructed
that he is capable of being as great in the cabinet
as he is in the field. His elements of common sense,
firmness, knowledge of men, adaptation of mea-
sures, perseverance and moral courage, are strong
otanadmuerseefsuollndeiessr. innaeniys

practical business man. He is well versed in na-
tional affairs. He is intimately acquainted with the
wants of the people, for he sprang from among
them. lie is a devoted friend of human rights, for
he has long known and felt the wrongs of human
slavery. That he understands treason the world
already knows ; and, as a patriot, having put it
down in the field, as a Republican citizen he will
keep it down in the forum.

There is no man in the United States more en-
Orely worthy the confidence of the whole popu-
lation than Grant. Not because he is a hero ;
not, even, because he is a patriot ; but because,
being both these, he is a qualified citizen—a man of
moral worth, a careful observer of national interests,
above the foul influence of party spirit, of tempo-
*rate habits, industrious, self-reliant, Republican ;
in short, a man every way as well fitted to rule in
the state in time of peace as he is to command in
time of war.

Such is Ulysses Sydney Grant. We speak that
which we know. We testify that which we have
seen. If he should ever visit Europe, as be has
been invited to do by both European and American
friends, we are confident that all we here says and
more too, will be conclusively proved.
Among
n
