"We, the Officers of the Southern Ornhans,
Association, for the maintenance and education
OF the destitute orphans of deceased Southern
soldiers and Sailors earnestly solicit the sympathy
and cooperation in our
GRAND PRESENTATION CONCERT
of all who desire to see the

who seek its shelter and protection.
Thanking our friends for their past contribu-
tons and assistance, we again appeal to them to
help us IN more extensive enterprise 1t is the
design of this Association to erect
81 ME- Il ND 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 a confident hope in a favorable res
ponse to this appeal to public which has never
yet failed to sustain charitable intuition, that
we have entered into an arrangement with Messrs.
T. PALMER & Co., No IL Holiday street,
Baltimore, to organize
Grand Musical Presentation Concert
for its benefit, and earnestly solicit the kindly aid
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-
tonal attempt to alleviate the sad condition of
great numbers of helpless children, rendered
thus by the terrible war through which we have
passed. And assuredy, whatever may have been
the relative political views of ladies and gentle
men heretofore, all must agree that the children
referred to, could not, by any possibility, have
had any agency IN bringing about their present
DeptOTabte and Destitute Condition,
and suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion. The
II NJ E Nd 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
ueation, thus qualifying them for
Future Usefulness to Society at Large.

enlisting the active interest and operation of
all classes of persons everywhere, we have con-
Guided to issue for the
