ten cottages each two stories high and calculated
to accommodate thirty-four children
A sehool-honse, with graded schools, is under
an efficient corps of teachers. There is chapel
hospital and ii laundry. The children put to n
trade at fourteen years. and, until discharged at
sixteen, spend one-Ealf of each day at that trade.
When they leave they have the net earnings of the
two years, approximated by the trustees.
The reader has only slight idea of the
Home but if you could only sit with this lovely
Sabbath afternoon and look upon the ZOO children
as they march in ranks to the chapel handsome,
stout and healthy: well-slressed, clean and we'll
taught-you would with me exclaim, God bless
those who care for the children" Many States
have done well, but none better than the grand
State of Ohio. wish everyone who feels inclined
to grumble about money spent would visit the in
stitution. They wouid find few homes where the
children are better more carefully reared. VIII
they not make better men and women, as memory
goes back to the grass fresh and green, the roses
abloom and the dear old woods? Will they not be
taught that lis running water that gives life and
health, that blesses ami makes glad the heart of
man. the stanant pool breeds noxious vapors and
death The efficiency of this Home is in great
part due the board of trustees, and above all, TO
most excellent superintendent Major Shaw is a
most indefatigabe worker, with the interest of
every child at heart Thus, these children are
taught how to be good and women and
surely it is cheaper to do this than to spend much
more money in reforming and Furnishing. Take,
also, in connection the thought that they taught
that life is not sham that the best nhertance of
man is labor. 60, work in my vineyard, is the
command given by our Lord. Let every child's
heart be taught to beat to the refrain and we shall
have some incorruptble citizens.
Yours. "a.

This letter is addressed to the "Two Bellesn md
L. Wallace have read all the letters in THE Ma
TIoNAI TRIBUNE, and the letters of these girls
than the others. see that two have answered L.
Waliace's letter reasonably, but this last letter by
the Two Bellies is almost shocking NV dear
girls, let me give you little friendly advice:
First. Why do you not o.. Wallace} ask your
mother about such things. Your mother should
be your conhdante in ali things, and if you have
not a mother ask some that is older and who
has bad some experience in life.
Second have young uncle and cousin-aged
twenty-o -one ana twenty-four-and they have made
remarks that will repeat TO you az near as posi-
be Both said that they liked to go with one of
these girls like the Two Bellies simply because
il fun TO girl act so idiotic; but that they
had no respect for her, for if she allowed them to
kiss her, she wonld let any other gentleman do the
same, anu that they never wanted to choose wife
or real sweetheart from such a girl They said
they respected modest girl the most for If they
got such a girl for q wife. they would be sure of
getting pure true girl and in return, have true
loving wife. Now. do not allow it, The Bible
says, " Blessed are the pure in heart and think
that viii apply TO such things.
Now, 10 you, Two Bellies must say am as-

young man asks you 10 party, or takes you to an

them, and the lower the better. / viii guarantee
you that II you get your dresses made say two feet
shorter in the neck, say below the waist you will

bleach your hair until IL looks like bunch of tow
or old. faded wig This will attract more atsen-
ton yet IL that don't succeed go entirely naked
and shave your head Then. when You get your
set OF admirers around you, please ask each q
truthful answer to the following questions:
First " Have you sisters, a mother that you
love and respect? IL so, don't YOU wish that thew

places with us? Then we become mutual
