word to the above address, but calls upon
the institution have been so numerous and
pressing, and the struggle through which
it is now passing to widen the circle of its
charities, is of such IN arduous nature.
that the management cannot too strongly
urge upon the humane and pathetic every
where an active participation in this addi-
tlonal attempt to alleviate the sad condi-
ton of great numbers of helpless children,
rendered thus by the terrible war through
which we have passed. And, assurcdly,
whatever may have been the relative po-
iitical views of ladies and gentlemen here
totore, all must agree that the children
referred to could not. by any possibility,

their present dcplorable and destitute con-
dltlon, and are suitable objects for the
charity OF all persons, of whatever shade
or political opinion. The "Home and

calculable benefit, by providing not only
