Dec. 9.-Last Sunday afternoon I visited
by invitation, the Protestant Orphans Home,
on the corner Of Eighth and Live Oak streets,
Fourth District This association was got
up during the late epidemic. by the Protes-
tant ladies Of the city, of all denominations
of Christians
Heretofore the orphans left during epidem-
les ana-ut all other times, have fallen into
the hands Of the Roman Catholics, to be
brought up in their faith. The donations
sent to the city by the charity and philan-
thropy Of other towns, after meeting the
immediate object Of its call, were handed
over to endow and benefit Catholic instiiu-
lions, and all the credit was given to the
Romanists for the liberality Of the citizens
Of New Orleans for her orphans.
Tho Protestant ladies were impressed with
the great want that existed in their midst, for
an asylum where the offspring Of pious Protes-
lant parents could be provided home in the
event Of their death, with the socurity that they
would be brought up, not Presbyteians or
or Epscopalians, but purely free
Protestents. The experiment has thus far
worked admirably. A large fund was subscrb-

Orphans Home. One hundred ladies compose
