A NOBLE CHARITY.
The Chiidren's Home at Eau Claire Opened
for Its Little CHESTS

AAAS NAtNich DoHc at Eau clare Openeu
for Its Little Guests.
The Children's Home, am Institution
estaD lshed upon somewhat novel plan,
was opened recently by benevolent ladies
OF Eau Claire. The home is a spacious
brick structure, where dependent children
are cared for, and is under the control Of
board of managers of which Mrs Daniel
Shaw, well known for charitable and be-
nevolent enterprises, is the president The
management is divided among committees
on home work and visiting, on purchasing
OF supplies, on reception and distribution
Of inmates, ON education, and on home rule
and dietary. Children can be committed
to the home by parents or guardians, with
papers relinquishing all claims to them, so
that they may be given for adoption when
ever deemed advisable. But the main pur.
pose is to care for little waits whose
parents are dead or who have been aban-
doned by their natural protectors. The
home will accommodate thirty children,
and ten had already been placed there
The children are educated, well-fed and
well-clOth ed, and as fast as homes can be
found for them or employment where they
can learn useful occupations, they will be
rehnquished by the board of managers.
The fund for the establishment of the
home was raised by voluntary subscrfp-
films

And love the fragrant odors
They breathe upon the air;
But sweeter seemed the blossoms.

And 1 was twenty-one.
How fondly 1 remember
The time we culled them there,
And meath the shady naples
Iwove them in your hair;
How there in bliss we tarried
Un til the set OF sun,
The time that you were twenty
And was twenty.one.

Perhaps lot k from thee,
That bade me whisper softly
How dear thou vert to me;

1 only know twas done,
The time that Ou were twenty
And was twenty-one.
We've had our summer, darling,
The fields oi ife are brown.
We've travelled up the hillside,
We're on our journey down;
Yet oft,I wake from dreaming
Those days have just begun
That you again are twenty
And 1 am twenty one.
When life and love are over,
And am laid to rest.

And place upon my breast
Such flow'rs a. used to blossom
