Children Seeking Homes i'm the "est'
A company of thirty children from 'he
ages of four and six years, to four1eeh'
left the Office of the Children's Aid socie-
~ for the West on Thursday afternoon
under the guardianship Of Messrs. G. O.
Trancy and J Macy. An interesting
soeno was Witnessed on the boat, alter
tho children had walked in procession
from, the Office, neatly dressed, and with
happy, animated countenances. Every
one felt an interest in the party. The
extreme youth Of some of the children,
and their artless manner Of telling their
histories. excited much sympathy. One
little girl, with full dark eyes, while a
single tear trembled on her cheek, in re-
ply to question put 10 her by a lady,
said that "fader, ,moder and little brudder
were all dead, but she hoped she would
soon have fader and mudder again. :"
They sang their songs of the West with
much force and spirit. The celebrated
newsboy, "Little Butch,' was one OF the
party. He escorted an elder brother 10
the Office to ''see him on his way" and
then suddenly resolved on accompanying
him. He hitched his bundle of papers
under his arm after he had changed his
attire, and swapping his fingers in his Pc
culiar manner, said he "would go West
and see what newsboy could do "among
the natives there" When he joined the
line Of the procession, having slowed away
his papers and donned a white hat. which
overlapped his weatherbrown face, he
had completely got nd-of the newsboy
and approximated to the farmers boy
Heleft in exuberant spirits with his young
companions. A baby named "Pinkey'
divided the attention of the company with
"Little Butch.s' The little creature suf
fered an incessant persecution of kisses
from the little boys and girls. Mr.. Tracy
was giving them some good counsel as th'
boat moved from the dock.-N y 7ri

The following touching and felicitiou'
illustration of the power Of ideas was Civ
en- by Wendell Phillips the other day, il
public speech at New York. The elo
quence of Phillips is surpassed by nothing
but this atrocious fanaticism:
Il was told to-day story SO touching
in reference to this that you must let me
tell il. 1t is temperance case, but i
will illustrate this just as we'll 1t is the
story of a mother on the green hills o
Vermont, holding by the right hand ;
son, sixteen years old, mad with love o
the sea- And, as she stood by the gar.
den gate sunny morning, she said =
edward, they tell me-for never saw
the ocean-that the great temptation oi
of the seaman's life is drink. Promise
me, before you quit your mothers hand,
that you will never drink" And, said he
(for he told me the story, I gave her
the promsie, and 1 went the broad globe
over-Calcntta, the Maditeranian, San
Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the
North Pole and the South-I saw them
all in forty years, and ! never saw glass
filed with sparkling liquor that my moth
er's form by the garden gate, on the green
hillside of Vermont, did not rise before
me; and to-day at sixty, my lips are in
nocent Of the taste'of liquor. (Applause.
Was not that sweet evidence of a single
word? Yet that was not half. For. said
he. yesterday there came into my count
ing-room young man Of forty, and ask
ed me, ''Do you know me?' "No."
"Well," said he, l was once brought drunk
into your presence on shipboard you were
passenger; the captain kicked me aside;
you took me to your berth and kept me
there until ] had slept off the intoxication;
you then asked me if I had a mother; |
said never knew word from her lips;
you told me of yours at the garden gate,
and to-day. / am the master of one ofthe
finest packets in New York, and come
to ask you to call and see me-" How far
that little candle throws its beams! That
mothers word, on the green hillside OF
Vermont! Oh, God be thanked for the
almighty power of single word! Zap
