ScHooL.-We dssire to say word or two, sin
,el,tiop to these noble institutions and we
believe that hearty and generous response will
he made to any words in their favor. They have
lonr been in our midst, and have ever been
deseryedly cherished. The funds under the con
trol Of their managers and directors are now
low. and they need help. The little Orphans
need help. They have never heretofore APP
ealedinyains to- the citizens Of this place, and
they will not appeal in vain now
In the disastrous war of arms which has
closed, we in common with our fellow citizens
Of our beloved state have lost much-some Of
MS have lost nearly all we possessed of this
worlds goods But there are something's
which we have not lost--and those are, our
feelings of benevolenee and our sympathy Tor
the sfiictedsand distressed. These can be ex-
hibitednow,no tsostentatiously, but as it were in
the family circle, among ourselves, and for
those of ourown household: Es.g
Alittle from each will not be missed, and
theaggregate will tolm q fund Of charity Of
great value. True TO ourold name and tame
let us show that even misfortune, and poverty,
cannot repress the noble emotions of our hearts,
when We are called on to aid the poor and es-
pecialythe Orphans. s@ II
