THE CHILDREN'S HOME.
HOW CINCINNATI PROVIDES FOR IN
DlGENT CHILDREN,

And From tho Ranks of Want and Crime
PInUks Out the Unfortunate Waits and
Moids Therefrom Good and Worthy
Citizens and Better Wives.
"'ris education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bent the trees inclined.
The wise training of child is the
surest method of producing good citi-
zen. What is always the best course TO
be adopted cannot be judged, but it is
without contradiction that great progress
is made by affording protection to a child
from evil, whether of want or crime.
The Children's Home, of Cincinnati,
was founded in 1864, and within the
twenty-three years of its existence 10,313
children have been cared for and 2,60S
surrendered to the Home and placed in
homes.
The general object Of the Home is TO
ameliOrate and elevate the condition OF
unfortunate children by procuring for the
homeless and destitute committed to II
country homes, where they will be
trained In habits OF industry and receive
a suitable English education, by caring
for such children as long as they remain
in the institution, and by afTording tenn
porary homes to poor children, whose
parents, thus aided, may be enabled in a
short time to support them, and, IN gen
eral, TO engage in such other charitable
and religious work as the trustees may
from time TO time elect.

NIL the chsses Of writers, that Of journ-
alism seems to be the most favored ut
the present time by aspirants for literary
distinction. Now while 1t is true that
not few Of thore who are to-day num-
bered among the ''llluminati'' of Amer
lean writers, havo been journalists, does
not follow that all who become good
Journalistic will in course OF time become
flluminati; that Journalism is the main
avenue to honors In letters. There are
distinguished American publicists whose
merits were first discovered in their emf
nent services as members of the Ameri-
can, bar, whose profound knowledge and
proficiency of the practice of medicine
aud surgery have raised them to emf
nence, whose eloquence in the pulpit or
on the forum of the American Republic
has held their audiences spell-bound;
and moreover there is scarcely any voca-
tion or craft through which some gifted
Individual has not risen to position
more ara less prominent in letters.
But now another highroa to literary
fame has been opened up. The thorny
and uncertain path to craftsmanship
need no more he travelled; the straight
and narrow way to redemption will be
ever afterward abandoned; the volumin-
GUS and bulky text book and the ghoul-
ish dissecting table will lose its fascina-
tions; the musty law book and the
well-studled briefwill gather mould and
dust together; the brain rackcd penny
-a-liner will no longer burn the midnight
oil, and always write, while at the same
time with easy ingenuity he calms the
plaintive walls of those treasures his
Heavenly Father has sent him.
