1t may seem unnecessary to add single word
to the above address, but calls upon the insitu-
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 Il PATHETIC
everywhere 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 psss-
| ed. And assuredly, whatever may have been the
relative political Views of ladies' and gentlemen
heretofore, all must agree that the children
ferred to could not by any possibility, have had
any agency in bringing about their present
| DEPLORABLE h 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 estab-
lish and endow, will be of incalculabe benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for 4,
| FUTURE USEFULNESS TO SOCIETY AT LARGE.
In order that this appeal may be effectual in en-
listing the active interest and cooperation of all
| classes of persons everywhere, We have concluded
| to issue for the
