ton. II has never had m cndow-
mcnt, or certain means Of support,
and yet II has so commanded the
confidence and sympathy OF the
charitable and generous who knew
the good work II was doing, that
II has never been driven to the
necessity Of closing It's doors. II
has received orphans from all
parts Of the State, and kept them
until they were qualified to enter
such suitable homes OF business as
might be opened TO them. The
building will not comfortably ac-
commodate more than fifty chill
dren, and about that number are
there atpresent. The Lady Man
ayers would gladly receive hun
dred more, il they had room, or
were sure of their support.
All the Protestant denominations
and the Israelites of Natchez, are
represented in the Board Of Lady
Managers.
They give it their time, cheer
fully and gratuitously. The ply
sician, who visits the Asylum
daily, makes no charge. The
matron in charge, and one or two
assistants, are the only ones who
receive any compensation for SER
vices, and that exceedingly moder-
ate. So all the money contribu-
ted goes directly to the support of
ihc Asylum.
Until Within the past few years
the burden Of the support of the
Asylum has fallen upon the people
Of Natchez. They now ask for
help, and it is hoped their appeal
will meet with a liberal response.
The undersigned having thought
that the Sunday School children
of the State would like to engage
in this good work, begs leave to
make to them the following sug-
gestions:
Ist. That every Sunday School
Scholar in the State contribute the
sum of ten cents, on or before
the third Sunday in July, and
that the aggregate amount con-
uibuted by the school be sent
up by the delegates TO State Sun
day School Convention, which
meets in Jackson, July 20; or that
the amount, as SOON rs collected,
be sent 10 the undersigned, or to
Mrs. John Fleming, Treasurer OF
the Asylum at Nachez. Public
acknowledgement will be made OF
all contributions. II il is not con-
venient to give ten cents, five cent:
will be most acceptable.
I'd. II the children can carr
this money by some service fol
their parents or others, it will b.
all the better.
3d. Let the children of eacl
Sunday School organize an Or
phans' Society, and see how mucl
they can rais every three month
for the Asylum. A good man,
years ago the children Of the Uni
ted States, in very short time
contributed twenty thousand do
, lars toward sending the shi
"Morning Star" to heather lands
+, and il the sympathies of the chile
, rem of Mississippi can be enliste
for the fatherless and motherle'
little ones At Natchez, they wi
not want for bread.
Superintenden,s are earnest
requested to bring this matter
the attention of their several Sal
! ! bath Schools, and to put in motto
a the above or any other plan th
/ will best accomplish the object.
