EMIGRATION OF The PooR.-We noticed yester-
day another large party of sixty or seventy poor chill
dren and seamsresses out of employ starting for homes
and work in the West, under charge of Mr. G.. c.
Tracy of the Childrens Aid Society. The plan pur-
sued toward these unemployed sewing women seems
wise and practical They do not go out paupers.
Each signs an engagement, which is filed ont by
her employer that her fare, to the amount of $lO
shall be taken from her wages. Though this is often
not more than halt the expense which the Society in
ours, it relieves the girls from the future disgrace
of having come out as paupers and lessons the burden
of this charitable movement. Fhus far, We under
stand, the girls are delighted with their new homes
some have already been offered permanent homes by
enterpiisng young bachelors.
