King Herod in Philadelphia.

Here is the result of an Investigation which
the Grand Jury in Philadelphia has hcen
making into the condition of the Buckley
Almshouse in that city. We want no better
illustration of the defects which characterize
the monstrous charitable institutions of which
Americans are so fond and the lax wav il
which they are managed. Some weeks ago
The attention of somebody happened to be call
ed to this vast Bastile for paupers b. careless
remark dropped by somebody else, that NOT
single child in the Founding Ward ever
had lived. The casual interest thus raised by
chance continued until tho present invc.tiga-
ton was made, and the horrible charge was
proved to be true. Not one Of the hundreds
OF foundlings placed in this Hospital had eyer
lived in it; thirty last year were adopted bv
persons outside and escaped: the others all
died. There are several reasons for this 100
per cent mortality, plain enough to the ewes
OF the Grand Jury as soon as they were turned
that way The buildings were on a SLUGGISH
stream into which much of the city sewage i
dralnedi the children are kept in a room ven
tllated only from a laundry in which the filthy
clothes of tho paupers are dried; they are
nursed by the female paupers women too sick
ly, lazy or drunken to keep themselves out of
tho poor house and attended by young doc
tors who have just got their diplomas, until
they have couple months experience of tam
perlng with the hapless little creatures, when
they arc discharged and the babies handed
over to a fresh set Of raw graduate. The
| chi!dred were fed on sour milk. The Jury
! were not at all surprised that they had died
| this year and every year before without a
single exception.
The question is, why did this matter never
occur to the jury of a Bureau Charity or ia
somebody before? Here was wholesale

TRUST.

"Call it not faith to trust in God.
When ample is the store;
And when to barnes, already filled.
The Lord is adding more.
Call it not faith to give your tenth,
While yet nine tenths remain:
And while your Offering to the Lord,
Is felt not from your gain.
'Tis when the fig tree blossoms not,
Nor fruit is in the vine,
The labor of the olive fails,
Nor corn is there, nor wine.
IT'S when the flock fails from the fields,
Nor herd is in the stall;
To trust in God then, that is faith,
The strongest faith of all"
