It may seem unnecessary to add single word
to tine above address, but calls upon the insttu-
| 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 ardu-
Gus nature that the management cannot too
strongly urge upon the HUMANE 4 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 political Views of ladies and gentlemen
heretofore, all must agree that the children re-
ferred 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 estab-
fish and endow, will be of incalculable benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough cd
ucation, thus qualifying them for
/ FUTURE USEFULNESS TO SOCIETY AT LARGE.
In order that this appeal may be ef'ectual in en-
listing the active interest and cooperation Of all
! classes Of persons everywhere, we have concluded
