This most commendable Of the charitable institu-
tons Of Brooklyn, designed for the purpose OF ex-
tending helping hand to lift juvenile boys from out
the slough Of temptation and sin which exists in
great communities and enable them to become good
Christian citizens, has just entered upon the fourth
year Of its existence. The Home, which is located
In Vine street, about two minutes walk from the
Fulton ferry, has for Its inmates other
wise homeless newsboys, bootblacks, errand
boys and other little chaps who have
no paternal rooftree to shelter them.
To such children the benefits derived from
the care and encouragement bestowed ut this in
stitutlon, which Is under the benign auspices OF
the st. Vincent de Paul Society, Is incalculable.
The means at the disposition Of its managers are,
however, very slender, being chiefly derived from
donations OF Church Conferences and an occasional
lecture. The following officers have just been
chosen for the ensuing year :-President, Right

Reasons why Americas Women

exercise many hours daily in the open

Grant and the Liberal Press.

Nothing succeeds like success" That
there is a vast amount Of truth in this
saying is most aptly illustrated by the
results Of the late election. 1t is aston
ishing what high hopes a number of
the Liberal papers begin to entertain Of
the President. The " mil;tary dcspot"
is perhaps, after all a patriot. "The
weak.minded tool Of the Senatorial
ring" has now, according to these peo-
pie, really got mind OF his own. The
" great corruptionist" and " debaucher
Of the civil service" exhibits com.
mendable honesty, and gives good
ground to believe that his administra.
ton will be one of practical reform.
And what is the secret Of all this ?
Has Grant inaugurated new policy :?
Has he shown disposition to turn over
a new leaf? Nothing of the sort. He
has simply gone on 10 the path ae COM
menced to travel years ago, and is try.
ing now, as then, to give the country
an. honest and economical administra-
ton. These infant journalists have
just opened their eyes to tho fact, while
their readers have probably known the
truth all the while These Liberal ed
itors are just now convulsed with the
news that Grant has declined to set
aside the rules of the civil service in
the appointment Of a postmaster, at
Philadelphia. They ignore tho fact
that he has taken the same stand time
and time again, during and before thu
late cammign, and give this startling
iiaforma ton TO the public with the self:
gratulato'y remark that at last their
chertl are being rewarded, and the
voice Of tie Cincinnati convention is
being heard and needed. There's a
modesty aGout this that is positively
sitting. They will soon get to claim
ing that they are entitled to glory for
ali the reforms &C. the past, and are to
be credited in advance with all the
prospective triumphs Of the future.
They are the Esop's flies, sitting on
the chariot-wheel Of reform, and imag-
iue that the terrible buzzing they have
kept up has occasioned the clouds Of
dust that arise from the car Of progress
as it rerolves in the direction of a
more perfect Union"
1t may not be unkind to remind
them that the President does not owe
his immense popular minority to their
efforts in his behalf, but in some part,
no doubt, to their noisy and unreason-
able opposition; and that if they are
honest ia their desire for thorough
reform, aud wish to lend the President
the moral support of the whole coun-
try, their most effcctual method is to
continue to assail him through the i'm
mensely popular columns Of the ''inde-
pendent pres" -lnter Ocean.
