1t may seem unnecessary to add a single word
to the above address, but calls upon the institu-
ton have been so numerous and pressing, and the
struggle through which it is now passing to wi
den the circle of its charities is of such an ardu-
Gus nature that the management cannot too
strongly urge upon the HUMANE & PATHETIC
everywhere an active participation in this add-
tiona attempt to alleviate the sad condition of
great numbers of helpless children, rendered thua
By the terrible war through which we have pass
ed. And assuredly, whatever may have been the
relative political Views of ladies and gentlemen
heretofore, all must agree that The children re-
ferred to could not by any possibility, have had
any agency in bringing about their present
DEPLORABLE 4 DESTITUTE CONDITION.
and suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons or whatever shade of political opinion. The
'IIOME AND SCHOOL"
which they now mere particularly seek TO estab-
fish and cndow, will be of incalculabe benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for tleee
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for
FUTURE USEFULNESS TO SOCIETY AT LARcE.
