tiousness with its endless train of wrongs, woes
and wretchedness, have found themselves constant
Iy confronted and bafiled by the t0mclessness Of
many hundreds daily and Of tens OF thousands an
nuaDy in our City. Ifan inexperienced girl comes
to our City having no true friends here, and finds
herself destitute Of money and employment before
acquiring such friends, she falls almost inevitably
the prey Of the miscreants who lie in wait for her
destruction. But not such only there is no day
passes in which women and girls residing here are
not left homeless by some stroke OF calamity to say
nothing of young children left orphans by bereave
rnent or worse than orphans by the intcmperance,
,nsa iity gross depravity criminalty OF their pa
rents When husband and father is sentenced
10 the State Prison BlackwelFs Island for crime,
how few of US think seriously of the wife and chill
dren he leaves behind and their means Of future
livelihood And yet when these worse than or
phan children grow naturally up, from sleeping in
aIley.ways and on cellar doors and eedingon what
chance may send them, into burglars and barlots,
the mass Of us execrate their depraviy and protest
tbat they were the authors of their own ruin Thus
the annual ingatherings of the prison, the aims
house and the house of death wax ever larger and
larger.
The noble women already mentioned were long
since convinced by sad experience that they could
not raise an eectual barrier against the incessant
mees Of Vice, without Home wherein to give
temporary shelter to those most immnently ex'
posed to destruction. They therefore set on foot
subscription TO establish such Home, and have
already procured very considerable sum toward
lorh 1onh
ofcompete ultimate success. Meantime, however,
the necessity they have experienced is so urgent
that they have hired dwelling and constituted 1t
temporary Home for the Frlendless until they
shall be able to build or buy one In this refuge
they have already forty or fifty inmates, most
Iy children from two TO twelve years OF age, who
by calamity or vice had been left unprotected.
None are kept day longer than is required to pro
vide them with good homes elsewhere, wherein
they will be trained to lives OF industry, usefulness
and Christian virtue. The founders OF this Home
are most anxious that the benevolent and religious
sha narrowly scrutinize their labors and suggest
any defects either in their plan or its execution
They will very gladly surrender the management
70 responsible parties whom the benevolent may
deem more competent to the task. Meantime, they
trust those who can proiler or indicate suitable
places for any of the destitute infants or adults
committed by Providence to their charge Will do so
st ill times. That they need contributions of fur
niture clothing, provisions &c. as well as money,
need hardly be stated for they do not feel author
ized 10 divert TO the satisfaction OF their daily ne
cessities the little fund that has been accumulated
TO build or purchase Home. Perhaps some deal
era and others may be able at times to aid the en-
terorise by donations of Provisions, Clothing, &c.
Of far greater value to the Home than could be OBJ
tanned for them in the market They would be
sure, at any rate of feeding the really hungry and
clothine the naked-not ministering to the vicious
sppetites of the lcentious, the lazy and ntemper-
