As we circumference that misnamed Charity which
scatters money right and left TO strolng beggars, with
no other evidence of their need deserving than such
as their stories supplies, urge all who can
afford to give literally in support of our Public Char
tiles which are systematic not only in dispensing aims,
but in first asc6rtaning that the applicants are proper
objects Of benevolence. Among these we accord a
high place to "Ihe Home for the FnendleSs located
on East Thtieh street, between Madison and Fourth
avenues Its leading object is the afiordng oftempOr
airy shelter and subsistence to vituOus women and un-
corrupted children no may any time be destitute of
home and the earliest possible transfer Of each beIe
fciary to some place where she may earn an honest
livelihood. A doRar thus expended may often save
needy despairing girl from infamy suicide. Many
chld that would have fallen into theft harotry has
been saved by The Home and placed under kind
and Christian guardianship for the residue of her
youth. Though but few years Ill operation, The
Home has already fed and sheltered Seven Thousand
destitute and despeing ones, and has provided foster
parents and guardians for more than Two Thousand
children. But applications crowd upon it. its edice
has become too small, and the managers ask help to
enlarge it, We believe they ought to have t-that
they have carefully and ftugaly expended what has
thus far been condcd to them, and that the rich and
the comfortable should aid them to enlarge their
edifce and extend their well directed benefcenee.
