The SPIRIT OF THE MOVEMENT ~
BEHALF or THE CHILDREN HoME.-
The movement lately inaugurated IN be-
half of the Children's Home IS constant
" gathering strength, and as the plans
are being developed through the laooF'
of the respective committees, the enthU-
ia.m is spreading. WeapPrehend that,
from present indications, the success Will
he rs great as that which characterized
the Sanitary Fail, held in this city dur
ing the war.
The unanimity ana harmony which
pervade all classes Of our citizens IN
reference to this worthy object are truly
commendable, for young and old alike
have taken hold of the work with de-
sire to subserve the best interests OF that
unfortunate class, who, i'll their tender
wears haye been cast as helpless walls
upon the sea of life.
"Inasmuch as We have done it unto the
least of one of these, We have done II un-
to Inc" is the inspiration Of the present
movement.
The entertainment will be OF the most
varied and unique character, diversified
with music, recitations, tableaux and
a,nusements, on different evenings, which
will be participated in by some OF our
most prominent citizens.
The novelty of the occasion will doubt
less be the tea party, when the far
daughters and the worthy sons OF W heel
ing, the former proverbial for their love-
illness and the latter for their ga.lantry
and manliness, will appear in the cos
tunes and characters Of an age which
was full of heroic deeds and noble acts.
A general meeting of the T"bie"u
Committee will be held, we understand,
this afternoon, ut headquarters, at four
o'clock.
