1t may seem unnecessary to add single word
to the above address, but calls upon the institl-
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 addi-
tonal attempt to alleviate the sad condition of
great numbers of he pless children, rendered thus
by the terrible 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
ierred to could not by any possibility, have had
any agency in bringing about their present
DEPLORABLE & DESTITUTE CONDITION.
and are 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 cstab-
ish and endow, will be of incalculable benefit by
providing not only food and rainlent for these
helpless ones, hut likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for
FUTURE USEFULNESS TO SOCIETY AT LARGE.
In order that this appeal may be eiecual in en-
listing the active interest and cooperation of all
classes of persons everywhere, we have concluded
to issue for the
