and cooperation in our
GRAND PRESENTATION CONCERT
of all who desire to see the
NOME AND SCH
enabled to receive and care for all the needy one
who seek its shelter and protection.
1t is the design of this Association to erect
"HOME AND SCHOOL'
for the orphans of the South, both male and fe
male, on an extensive scale, in the city of Rich
mond, Virginia. AS an inducement to have the
building located there the Common Council OF
that city have guaranteed sufficient lot of land
| in an elevated and healthful location, and will
increase the quantity of land if needed.
1t is with q confident hope in a favorable res
ponse to this appeal to public which has neve
yet failed to sustain charitable intuition, that
we have entered into an arrangement with Messrs
Z. T. PALMER & Co., No. Is Holiday street
Baltimore, to organize
Grand Musical Presentation Concert
for its benefit and earnestly solicit the kindly 81,
and patronage of the public to ensure its success.

1t may seem unnecessary to add 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 and sympathetic
everywhere, an active participation in this addi-
tional attempt to alleviate the sad condition of
great numbers of helpless children, rendered
thus by the terrible war through which we have
passed. And assuredly, whatever may have been
the ralatiya political views Of ladies and gentle
men heretofore, all must agree that the children
referred to, could not, by any possibility, have
Deptora6le and Destitute Condition,
and are suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade Of political opinion. The
"H0ME AND SCHOOL,
which they now more particularly seek to estab-
lish and endow, will be of incalculable benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for
Failure Usefulness to Society at Large.
In order that this appeal may be effectual in
enlisting the active interest and cooperation of
all classes of persons everywhere, we have con-
Guided to issue for the
Grand Presentation Massical Concert,
