INFANTS HOME CONVERSIONS.

Yesterday afternoon, az O'Clock, the Trustees and
friends of The Infant Home performed the ceremony
of laying the cornerstone Of their new building az
the corner of Fifty first street and Lexington avenue
now in Of erection, adjoining the Childs Nar-
sery and Hospital.
The ceremonies were opened by the Rev. III. f.
MoNTsoMERY, who offered prayer. ,.-..
The tin box containing copies Of the vaFious daily
newspapers published in the city and other mementos
OF the date of erection was exhibited, and then placed
in cavity under the STOMP by Mrt VI. Il. Dubois. Tho
stone was then lowered, and Mrs. ID. administered
three distinct taps lis surface, and pronounced
laid in the Of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost
The audience which was small, then adjourned To

MT Erastus Brooks apologzed for the absence of ths
Mayor the ground Of devotion 20 public 6nties, st
this Tins exceedingly heavy and assured the congre
cation that the enterprise bad his hearty sympathy and
they might rely upon his cooperation
The Rev. HENRY T.. MONTGOMERY then delivered q
long Grafton, ererDg into the details OF the origin Of
the idea Of the Infants Home. He explained the OBJ
ect ofhe Home to be that Of TO receiving the children
of all widows and respectable parents, whose indi-
gence is great that they cannot support fmi,y;
but the distinctive fe of the Institution u, that tba
children Of shame are admitted under certain restric-
tions. When a mother, who can prove that she has
borne q good character mp 10 the period of the hrst
lishment and testifes her repentance, and desire
for amendment the child il received tho
woman, il needinl Is temporarily cared for,
and thus not only the innocent result OF ain Is probably
sayed, but the unfortunate has another chaace OF
deeming herself. BY the plan here indicated, thosa
who really desire 20 repent have chance to eseapo
the terrible and downward road their sin Is hidden
from the world; they often saved from committing
infsnticde; they receive wise counsels from one Of
their ser, and possibly are induced thereafter 10
lead virtuous lie.
Mr.. Brooks moved vote Of thanks 70 the reverend
Orator which was unanimously accorded.
