through protracted courses Of ill-treatment,
which finally bring them to the grave. What
innocent visitor TO such house, he will have
remarked with ine1preBgible compassion the
old countenanees ofthe withered aud unhappy
little children that there abound. These are

family where they may experience the COM

l am sure they need it; for the tender mercies
Of the woman on whose hands they are left are
sure, sooner or later, to conduct them to the
grave.
Some OF these children escape death, how
ever, by being sent to Randa,l's Island. whose
nurseries received during the year 1868 over
eleven hundred ouch children. Hero their

The mortality among the infant population is
extremely large. Last year much more than
one-half the entire number admitted died.
The various chiIdren's hospitals and other
charitable institutions for children established
in the city do something toward mitigating
this evil; but all the benevolence heaped to-
Rether seems but as drop in o bucket. It is
one of the great ahames of New York that
there are such extensive facilities for the ''put-
ting away of nobody's children, and one of
the first steps towards reform should be the
abolishment OF all such advertisements as the
blue.eyed baby ones. ALI BABA.
