A WORD IN BEHALF OF THE ORPHAN.-The
COhullloh OF the honest laDorer, whose hard
earned Pittance scarcely supplies his family with
bread, Is not an easy one at best; but when, by
any sudden financial crisis. or other cause he is
deprived Of even that pittance and hunger stares
him In the face, his case is indeed deplorable
and he will make almost superhuman efforts and
oftentimes resort to almost desperate expedients
to protect his little ones from suffering and want
Hard as his fate is, and poor the fare of his
children may be, there are those around us who
excite still deeper sympathy, and who have the
strongest claims upon cur charity-the Orphan
Without parents, without friends, young help
less and homeless, During such hard times as
we are now experiencing, when the maxim is
g Let every one take of himself what is to
become OF the poor child! Surely we would not
send him TO the workhouse or Jail, On the cor
ner OF Thirteenth and III streets there Are some
twenty male orphans, under the charge of the
. Sisters of the Holy Cross" of the Order OF st.
Joseph, and they have daily applications, with
the most urgent appeals, to admit morr; but they
have not the means to feed and clothe them
Money, clothing, groceries wood. coal, &c, will
be properly applied, IL sent to the above address
Those who feel sympathy for the homeless
children OF our city will do well to call and see
for Themselves Let charity extend liberal hand
to the @ Sisters of the Holy Cross - and they will
do great good and save much suffering the COM
ing winter. AFRIEXD TO THE ORPHAN
