OUR NEW YORK LETTER

Our city is degeneratiug into very poor ex-
ample OF morality. stranger coming here
canEot fan to notice the low esteem which 10
placed upon the Sabbath. The day is given
up to pleasures and excuses. The ferry boats
and street cars are more crowded than upon
any other day OF the week. Central Park 10
thronged with visitors from morning to night.
Refreshment saloons throw opea thsir doors
aud windows and do heavy trade Even the
more respectable ones on Broadway, violate
the Sabbath in the same manner. Only few
Sabbaths ago the writer saw body of men re-
pairing the street railway when they should
have been enjoying DAY Of rest Two weeks
ago the Fenians paraded the streets, with flags
floating and drums beating, thus disturbing
The worship OF church attendants. Ireland

that lno leading secslar papers issue Sunday

prosper without violating the sabbath, but our

THE EMPTY NEST.

hidden away ina mountain breast,
10 the heart OF nature wild aud free,
And two birdlings fair in the mes; had we.
But the war cry came and We lacked the food
Ihat was want to supply our little brood,
And my mate took his fight lar over The sea
In search of food for them aud me;
But Ger he came back the birdllngs haaI noWn,
And l was left in the nest alone.
They had nown away beyond the sea,
And alas they never came back 10 me.
They had flown farther of than the farthest
star,
Their wings were DER tender to ay SO far,
But angels aided them in their flight
And oh their young pinions, pure and bright,
Soar'd away and away to heavenly height.
I watched them till my eyes grew dim
No longer birds but cherubim
And sung In heaven their holy hymn.
They have made their nest away in the skies +,
For now they are birds of Paradise.
Ny wings were all so heavy with sin
] watched but could not enter in.
And often we weep my mate aud l,
FOR our dear young brides away in the sky
ana stili he gees away over the sea
But now he brings food only for me.
carry my grief like wound 10 my breast
And hover around the empty meet,
While sitting in that nest alone
sing of naught but my brdliups flown.
lou chide me because my songs are sad,
AND ask for tones more lightsome aud CHAD.
On ask not for numbers happy aud gny,
Wnen my loving mate is so far away,
ASK not for songs that are joyous aud Tree
when my birdliugs can never come back to IN,
whe1 sing for you 1t must either be
A song OF the grave, or a song of the sea.

M. EpIroR Being DESTROYS TO present TO
the citizens of Wilmington an object Of deep
interest, Task tho favor Of an insertion 10 your
issue OF this week.
This object is an asylum for the orphan
children OF the freedmen in the soush-west.-
Early ia tue progress of the war great NUM-
bers vi eolored orphans were lett entirely
destitute, and = very large number died before
any assistance cou be gwen them. But this
great need raised up most untiring friend
in Mrs. Garfield, widow OF the late Colonel
Oan6eld, OF Ohio, who fell on the field OF
shiloh. Two years ago Mrs. O established an
asylum for these orphan children In the city
OF Memphis, Tenn, from which have gone
forth more than three hundred children, to
homes provided BY her. During the past win
ter she was obliged to leave the building she
had occupied during the past two years, and
take shelter in onp poorly suited to the pur-
pose Of an asylum, and at a cost per month OF
one hundred dollars.
The object of this appeal to the bsnevolence
Of the public, Is to solicit assistance for the
erection of building suitable to their pres
eut wante.
This work OF charity Is warmly rec ommen-
ded by Brig. Gen. Fisk, who has just given to
1t of his private means, $500. I quote his en-
dorsoment OF 1t from a letter which have in
my possession. Writing to q friend of the
asylum in New York, he says, "The noble
christian woman at it's head 10 courageously
struggling to carry 1t successfully forward
Mrs. s. A. Martha Garfield, widow of the la
mented Col. Canheld Of Ohio, who fell, lead
ing his regiment 10 victory on the bloody field
of shiloh, founded this orphan asylum last
year, and has through Its agency rendered in
valuable service to the cause Of freedmen and
humanity. She is worthy of all confidence;
che 10 large hearted, self-sacrifcing, devoted
christian woman. She has thus far been sus.
tanned by contributions from various sources
and by governmental aid to some extent. She
furnishes temporary homo to he colored or
phsns, gives them christian training, aut
places them in good, permanent homes"
With such a worthy object, such q nobl,
work done in the past, such hearty endorse
meut from Gen, Fisk and many others, an,
above all the crying want of helpless sufferers
| feel confident that the citizens OF Whining
ton will consider this appeal with favor.
GEO. STEWART.
| The Rev Geo. Stewart has been known t
me for many years, and his statements are en-
titled to the public. confidence.
