Last winter some kind ladies labored
long and faithfully to procure some funds
for this house by means of fair, but the
public did not respond to their exertion
with the earnestness that it deserved, and
the results were trifling in comparison with
what they ought to have been. The house
is entering upon another winter deeply in
debt, with no honey, provisions or fuel,
and over four hundred boys to support.
For some time they have been subsisting
on the fruits of credit, but that resource
cannot long be relied on. When it ceases,
what will become of the boys? 1t is folly
to expect few priests and Sisters to create
the means of subsistence for such num-
Der by their own labor; the Catholic public
must supply them with necessary means or
the children must be disSanded and thrown
upon the street. We cannot believe that
this will ever be permitted that so much
expense already incurred for buildings, SO
much charity exerted in preparing home
for this class of unfortunate children will
prove to have been thrown away. The
good work which New Orleans has inau-
gurated in SO noble scale, and in which
She justly takes so much pride, will surely
not be abandoned to destruction.
Yet if anything is to be done it ought to
be done quickly. 1f'any one really feels
