Mr.. ESIroR..-The suggestion in the PRESS
Of Home for Aged, Iudseut Men is timely,
aud "Phir deserves public thanks for giving
so prat teal turn t, the discussion Of the cir
cumstanees OF the late Mr.. Morgan.
The Managers of The HOME FOR AGED Wo-
MEN, it is believed, have made wise provision
Tor its future requirements, 10 the spaciousness
Of their new mansion. Why not, iftheir house
is larger than their present needs, make joint
affair. and receive into their home aged men
likewise? Shoald the experiment provo un-
satisfactory, there will have at least accrued
from it the advantage of relieving an impnedi-
ate want until separate establishment can be
provided But it will not prove unsatisfactory
because it will serve to keep together, go lopg
as they both do live, such married. couples as
may be objects of such charity; aud it will
afford such society to single men as alone will
render the place worthy the name OF Home.

THE TEMPLE QuARTETTE CONCERT. -
The fourth entertainment in the People $
course, concert by the famous Temple Quar-
tette Of Boston, was given at City Hall last
evening 1t was expected that this concert
would prove one of the most successful of the
season. and the expectation was fully realized.
Although the audience was not as large rs
might reasonably have been expected, yet this
in no way effected the character of the enter
tainment, which was thoroughly enjoyable in
every particular. We scarcely know how to al
lude in fitting terms to the splendid singing of
the Quartette, which came fully up to the high
anticipations that had been formed in regard to
it. Nearly all the selections received an encore,
but the gem of the evening was decidedly the
hvmn-chant entitled Remember now thy
Creator" which was rendered in faultless
manner, and held the audience spell-bound to
the close. Miss Stone was in fine voice, and
received an enthusiastic encore for her fine
rendering of the beautiful ballad, "'Tis even
ing brings my heart to thee" in response to
which she gave pleasing little ballad, which
was heartily applauded. Mr.. Fessenden pos
sesses a fine clear voice, and appeared to great
advantage. Altogether it was of the best
concerts given in this city this season. The
closing entertainment will be given ON Monday
evening next, consisting of dramatic readings
by Mrs. Louise W. Foss. The manager has al
SO engaged Signorini Antonini, the wonderful
child violinist only 10 years of and other tai
ent is to be announced hereafter. The price OF
admission will be only Is cents
