extend a most cordial invitation TO visit
Leath Orphan Asylum, on Thursday, the
18th inst, when our esteemed Matron,
Miss lane Ward, with the managers and

mately acquainted with the institution for
a period OF nearly eighteen years, during
which time several hundred children have
been admitted; cared for in sickness and
health; trained in paths Of usefulness,
and educated for their proper spheres in
life. The liberal donors of the lands, with
many of the WaEm6st friends and supper
ters of the institution, have passed from
Time to Eternity, leaving their labor of
love still to be carried on here.
We pray that the pure and holy spirit
of charity may touch the hearts aud open
wide the hands of the benevolent, to gen.
erously supply the wants of the Institu-
ton upon this occasion, thus enabling US
to repair the building and pay the arrears
of salary due to u excellent matrOn. In
Offering our grateful Acknowledgements to
the friends of the Leath Orphan Asylum
for past fayors, we, the lady managers,
would respectfully remind them of the
wants of our orphans as the winter ap-
p~roaches, and beg of them, with their
usual hberality, to supply those comforts
so necessary for our children, Some Of
the merchants have already responded to
the call made upon them, and further do
nations of money, bedding, table furni-
ture, clothing, shoes and provisions, viii
be thankfully received.
