To-day the barge Harvest Home will lie at pier
80 North River (the wharf OF the White Star nne),
undergoing the final cleansing and renting neces-
sary for the suitable reception of Its juvenile sick
passengers. Tomorrow 1t will leave It's moorings
at the above pier at eight O'Clock A. M. and at
once proceed to the East River. where It will
make three landings. The first at Peck slip, at
ba-past eight; the second at the foot OF Twenty.
third street at nine, and the third at the foot OF
Sixty-1rst street at ten O'Clock. The barge win
then be towed out upon the river and over the
waters OF the Bay.
Many mothers, who had caught some passing
ruInor OF the purposed early departure, hastened
to the Guild ONCE, at No. 50 Varck street, bearing
their children their arms and eagerly asked for
tickets A large number OF volunteers were en-
ployed in filing up the blanks on the little pieces
or neatly printed card BOARD, and others were hur
ryng TO the dinerent dispensarles where they
win in great part be distributed.
The writer took some tickets for distribution
among the sick families he had visited from time
to time, and on the way stopped In at
1.-THE NEW YORK cHILDREN's FREE DIsPENsARY."
There he found Dr. Rankin, surrounded by crowd
OF women, each carrying a baby In her arms.
They were all faded looking little ones,
blighted by bad air and confinement in
dark, damp and nosome places, as fruit Ii
blighted by an overweening shade Some OF them
we're shrunken and pinched. and looked as though
a good strong respiration would collapse their
little lungs and shatter their frai bodies. As the
visitor entered one poor woman was begging
hard that the Doctor might let her take ner child
and 90 upon sloop upon which her brother, q
boatman, was employed. aud upon which she
could take rough and ready sort OF cruise for
three days. The Doctor said "No the babe needed
air. and she must continue to make trips upon the
ierrypoatsn But o three days voyage under
such circumstances would be death in place Of
lie to the infant just here the writer thrust be-
fore the Doctors vision the following, on bit Of
pasteboard:-

This gentleman Is from st. Johns Guild They VIII,
no doubt, be pleased TO take you on their barge.
They are doing great and noble charity. take
IL that you are invited, and 1t Is Just what your
baby requires Be sure and CO." AS lor the poor
woman, sne could not hide the tears OF JOY
that melted In her eyes and ran trickling down
her face, lighted with smiles. as the sun lights up
al April shower.
ONE WHO HAD GONE BEFORE.
At the corner OF Twenty-frSt street and FIRST
avenue the writer turned down the steep and mar
row stairway tnat leads TO the cellar, where ne
first found the skeleton baby that some OF the
HERALD readers may remember. DR.. Ellington
had sent MIN TO this cellar nearly TWO weeks be-
then promised the mother that on the nrst excur-
sion her oaby should go. ana perhaps the air
that kisses the flower. the leaves and grasses on
the fragrant country side might bring over tne
with eager hope and since has sat counting the
! days. The writer was rather merry then, when,
standing just outside the open door, he cried:-
! "Mrs. Dogharty. J. prng you good news The
| barge will sail on Wednesday, and | came 10 tell
You to come and bring -"
one look at the poor woman and the remainder
OF the speech died upon his lips. Oh, sucn look
O! utter, hopeless heartache! The hat came on
| his head lnvoluntarI. and ne stepped to the
threshold and looked into the little cellar.

arranged bier the little wasted form was lylng:
the face a little more sunken, the color httle
! more livid and the limbs more rigid. The light OF
3 lie that the doctors thought might nave been re-
tanned by purer air and wholesome nourlshment
