Gus nature that the management cannot too
strongly urge upon the HUMANE PATHETIC

tiona' attempt to alleviate the sad condition Of
great numbers of helpless children, rendered thus

sons or whatever shade Of political opinion. The
''HOME AND SCHOOL,
which they now more particularly seek to estab-
fish and endow, will be of incalculable benefit by
