1t may seem unnecessary to add single word
| to the above address, but calls upon the institu-
ton have been numerous and pressing, and the
struggle through which it is now passing 10 VII
den the circle of its charities, is of such ardu-
Gus nature that the management cannot too
strongly urge upon the HUMANE & PATHETIC
everywhere an active participation in this addi-
| tiona attempt to alleviate the sad condition of
great numbers of helpless children, rendered thus
| by the terrible war through which we have pass
ed. And assuredly, whatever may have been the
| relative pOlltlcal Jews OF EluleS ana 6Cntltmtn
| heretofore, all must agree that the children
terred to could not by any possibility, have had
any agency in bringing about their present
| DEPLORABLE & DESTITUTE CONDITION,
and suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons or whatever shade of political opinion. The
''HOME AND SCHOOL"
which they now more particularly seek to estsb-
! fish and cndow, will be of incalculablc benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for
FUTURE USEFULNESS TO SOCIETY AT LARGE.
| In order that this appeal may be effectual in
listing the active interest and cooperation of all
classes Of persons everywhere, We have concluded
to issue for the
GRAND PRESENTATION MUSICAL CONCERT.
