IHoMAsvILLE, N. c., April Is, 81. :
This great Conference meets in Indian
apolis, Ind. May 18th to goth. To be
appreciated it must be attended. It is y
matter of regret that our people know
or manifest so little interest in it. It
was my pleasure to attend the last ses
sion in Baltimore, where delegates from
about thirty States and two from Euc-
land we're present Baltimore placed
so high an estimate as to expend ($3, ,OOO)
three thousand dollars for an entertain

bia thought it worth while to invite it to
Washington. The Board of Trade of
Washington, the President and Cabinet,
invited them and gave the two hundred
and fifty who Went a royal reception in
Washington.
What is it2
"The object of the Conference is to
collect, compare, and diffuse informa-
ton respecting every description of chari-
liable, final and reformatory enterprises
both public and private. Its delegates
are earnest and practical men and wo-
men, some actively engaged in such
work"
They met to learn from and to
teach each other about new methods OF
work and more economical administra
ton"
In other words it is a school where
more can be seen, studied and learned
in a week than can be in months of labor
and reading anywhere else. The whole
field OF learning pauperism, suffering
relief, reform, is covered, and each Ont
can find his department of work illustra
ted and discussed, and cannot fail t,
benefit an interested person.
Last year after prisons, reform dis
cipline, asylums of all kinds, reform
schools, until one said there was no clas
except one from whom something coult

everybody was soon astonished by lad

The delegates themselves, except fe

A SeasOnable Poem by Man of Large
Experience in Life.

Come out into the garden, Maude;
Come out, and watch me make it.
I've got two spades three pecks of seeds,
And a rake with which to rake it.
Come out, and watch with what deft skill
And Irishman | hire;
And help me sit upon the fence
To watch the man perspire.
When I was young and foolish, Maude,
I used to do that work;
And showed big blisters oh my hands
And proudly as Turk.
But now, although my head is bald,
It's twenty times as foxy,
And when the gentle spring time comes,
Igarden it by proxy.
