| 4 JUVENILE ARAr FROM TIE EAsT.-Yes-
| terday morning We received call from Mr.
George Fl. Allan, of New York, accompanied
| by forty-nine children, real juvenile army,
ranging in age from about eight years to four
tecn, graduates from the New York Juvenile
Asylum, who art on their way to Sterling in
this State, where homes hive been provided
for all. These young waits presented q very
neat and comfortable appearance, were well
and uniformly dressed, and their behavior was
In all respects discreet and commendablc
This is the sixteenth company, aggregating
about GOO, Mr.. Allen informs us, which he has
brought vest since the opening Of the Asylum
in New York, and from the best information
that he can gather, not one Of that number
has become a town OF county charge. The
course pursued by the Asylum is dif1eren
from that practiced by most institutions o
like character. These children are gathered
from the streets Of New York, generally pa
rcntless or guardianless; are placed in tn
Asylum, and there subjected to thre
years thorough training and schooling. The.
thus come ont with the elements of geot
education, which those to whom they ar
bestowed or apprenticed are required to hav
completed and disciplined habits, Which,
judiciously continued, are sure to make goo,
men and women Of them. In bestowiug 0
apprcnticing them, every precaution is exer
: cised that noHe but worthy, Christian me
shall receive them. The children are allowe
q certain degree Of discretion in the choice o
these guardians, and If it happens that the
) become the wards or apprentices Of hard o
unworthy masters, they will be taken fror
their charge. These are the principles upo
which the New York Juvenile Asylum |
conducted, and we can but commend them a
, | worthy Of all praise.
