out last spring with q company from Bates Comfy,
Missouri, under the charge OF VIM. Doke. Mr.. Ei-

THE HOME FOR THE FRIENDLESS.

There are few scenes a Thanksgiving day more
calculated to happily our human nature than such a
one as was presented to the friends of the Home for
the Fendess, in Twenty-ninth street. yesterday after
noon. At precisely q o'clock, the time previously
announced for the exhibition Of the children the chapel
beopgirg to the Home filled with highly respect
able congregation, principally ladies' who had come
hither to see the gadsome and grateful smiles of the
clean, wefed and comfortably sheltered little ones
who have have been surrendered TO society by INDECENT
ard profigate parents. Nobody was disappointed
The children happy and gave expression to their
of happiness in the joyous songs which they learn
from day TO day in the schools connected with the
Home.
AT one end of the chapel, in full view of the au-
ditory, on small gallery, were seated three
interesting groups Of children. To the left were the
children belonging to the Home Industrial School No.
/, neatly dressed and wearing snowwhite capes. To
the right was another interesting group Of children,
wearing bucolored capes and representing Home In
dustral School No. .. The children of the Home for
tie Fricndlcss occupied position between the two
schools above referred to.
The exercises were conducted by Mr. HALLIDAY,
the Agent of the Institution. Mr. HaEr, with his &C.
customed familiarity, attended to the singing, inter.
spersiDg that exercise with striking anecdotes having
special reference to children.
S.Mr. ERAsrus c. BENEDICT was called upon, and he
spoke at length setting forth the claims OF the
institution, and its advantages to the community as
well as to the children themselves. He also related
the story of circumstance which transpred under his
own observation few nights ago. that Of a woman
and little boy whom b. had encountered in the Third
avenue late in the evening. The woman was drunk,
and the little boy was by her side mport.nng her to
90 with him. "Mother, come home y were his words
repeatedly addressed to that reckless and intoxicated
mother. He said that, although he bad been in the
City of NewYork for over forty years, he h.d never
been go profoundly affected by any circumstance OF
this Kind before. He could not tel where tnat little
boy was but he ventured, in his own mind TO com
pare what probably was the unhappy condition OF ten
thousand such boys, and the smiling fares and glad
some hearts which had been gathered from the Pur-
eus Of poverty and released from the grasp OF sat
ferng and imminent moral peril. He reminded the
friends Of the Home for the Fnerdless that 1t was an
institution which, like some politicians, knew no
North, no Sou,h, DO Eaa, no West. IL Only knew the
distressed, the needy the fnendess. IL asked no
que,tous rs to creed as condition Of help. 1t wa.

THE WILSON INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

The managers Of the Wilson Industrial School gave
their children Thanksgiving dinner Yesterday a, their
house, No. Isl Avenue A. This school was organized
q few wears ago by Mrs. Wilson Of Newark, y. J.,
and few other benevolent ladies. Its objects are to
gather poor little girls from the streets, to rescue them
from poverty, ignorance and crime, to provide them
with food clothing religious and Intellectual instruc.
ton, train them in household duties, and to prepare
them for q respectable, selfsustaining and inde-
pendent position in life. BY the last report OF
the managers appears tia; during the past thres
years the Ladies who compose the Wilson Industrial
School Association have, by their Individual efforts,
ra.ed 80 G00 for the purchase OF house the one now
occupied and owned by the school, and more than
$1,000 annually for the support Of the school The
cost Of each child to the Association is Sl5 per snnum
The school supported BY contributions from the be-
reyoknt. The children provided Nth dinner
each day and are taught to read, write, cipher, &c.,
aid a. they grow older ara instructed in dressmnknS
and tailoring. AT prcstrt there are about 200 little
girls attending the school, from about four and thirteen
years If age.
Yesterday, the accomplished teachers Of the school,
Mir. Pitcher, Principal, and Mss Quulby, assistant,

PLACES OF ADJUSTMENTS.

Hungry people very little for a anusemen'' the
prospect Of Thanksgiving diuner so admirably fills
the eye that other pictures a,s unwelcomc. So tho
afternoon attractions at the thea,ers were ger orally
un.ppreciated, and the audiences were thin-mostly
very early or very late diners.
But the evening showed q different picture. The
turkey filled smiling multitude ftith abundsnty.
An hour before "open sesame the doors were be-
sieaed by the jolost Of crowds. Every house was
crowded, to use an original expression, from pit to
dome. The mansgers had offered macy pquant ex-
tras in their bills, and were handsomely rewarded-so
wcl indeed, that they would like to keep just such
Thanksgiyii at least week. During the day
and evening probably than fifty thousand persons
patronized the thesters, museums, Academy, snd
various minstrel halls Of the city.
