month of December in aid of the same object.
The Board CT Control have not been unmind-
ful OF the difficulty or delicacy OF this new un-
dertaklng, ad have not entered upon it with
out grave deliberation. They know that it
cannot be successful but by unremttlng effort,
wisdom and liberality. Yet, feeling the impor-
tance of providing, as far as possible, for the
education Of those whose means of education
have been swept away b. the war, who are left
to US, many OF them-by those who have given
their lives for us-as daughters OF our whole
people; whose time of educatl IN, 1t not now
available, will be lost to-cver-the board have
gone OF in faith, and hope, and prayer, en-
couraged by the gifts OF some, and the Cod
speed" of all, to undertake the work.
The board confidently believe that the diff
culties which would naturally suggest them
selves first to every mind at tho thought of
such plan will be removed, when they state
that adequate provision has been MADE to give
to the young ladies all the influences, priyi-
leges and rcs,raiots Of Christlan home.
The valuable services have been secured OF
q gentle, amiable and accomplished ladv-the
widow of one of our most honored martyrs OF
OF the war-as matron, ana the services OF
another .ady, peculiarly q allied bf culture,
taste and experience. to supervise the educa-
ton Of the young ladies' in the interim Of the
hours Of school. 1t is the duty OF the matFon
to preside over the household thus constituted,
and OF the lady associated with her to take
charge also of a school for the children of the
tamil1es congregatcd IN the Home, and such
others from without as may be accepted, and
as comply with Iccossary prescribed c-ndl-
tions. This school now NUMBERS twenty-five
pupils.
This plan has now been in operation for
moro than one month, and has been gratify-
ingly successful. Thirteen young ladies are
inmates OF the Home, and attendants upon the
schools of the city, and from the humorous
applications, ten more have been accepted aud
are soon expected. This will complete num-
ber as large as it is thought advisable to re-
ceive. The board take pleasure IL bearing
witress to the fact that all their hopes and
expectations with regard to this new feature
OF the Homo have been, thus far, abundantly
realized. They Jmmend it NJ st clrucstly to
the favor OF our community.
The board cannot Close their repcrs without
grateful Acknowledgements to MIR. j. Johnson,
of the Upper Market throagh whose great
libcraIity tue Widows Homo" has been sup

III each week, for IN entire year. and who kind
