HONE FOR TIE FR1ExnLEss.-Sfx year ago
handful OF ladies' actuated by the benevolent de-
sire to the suffering from degradation, called
apublic meeting Of all persons willing to befrien1
the homeless and destitute. From that meeting
sprang the institution known az the Home Of the
Friendiess. This Institution is probably ono OF
the most useful Of any among us. There is a1arge
class Of suffering poor in city, worthy homeless
onea who are not and ought not to bo willing ac-
cept the alternative Of beggary or the County Poor
House. The former is degradation and ruin, and
tho latter an abandonment OF hope and courage.
The Home was temporarily opened In August
1858 and chartered IN February. 1859. Mr Jons.
thnn Burr Ia the following month donated to the
institution the lot upon which the present build
ing stands. This nas completed In 1850.
During the last year the admissions to the Home
have reached GOO, Including children and adults.
Every Suite in the Union and almost every nation
nlity has been represented during the last year.
An excellent portrait Of jonathan Burr, Esq,
the patron OF the institution, has recently been
completed and now adorns the parlor Of the Home,
It Is excellent and speaking likeness aud entire
ly creditable to all concerned. The artist Is the
well known painter Healy, It. one Of his be-t
cferts, and this is no mean compliment The an
nua1 meeting for election Of officers and managers
will be held at the rooms of the Young Mems
Christian Association Monday morning at 9
