START OF A GREAT CHARITY.
Rescuing the Children Of Criminas
In London Streets.

Rescuing the Children Of Criminals
In London Streets.
DR.. Barnado, who is at the head OF an
association for rescuing the children OF
the criminal classes in London, has told
the story of an incident which first drew
his attention 10 them.
In 1856, while studying medicine. he.
with a friend. taught a night ragged
school for mea in an old stable. One
bitter night when the school was over
he found boy lying asleep close to the
cmbers of the fire. He woke him and
told him he must go home.
II have no home" was the reply.
".Nonsense. you must live Some
where"
Il don't live nowhercs." the boy in
sisted.
The medical student found that the
child for three years had been sleeping
in the streets of London. The next
night. with this young lad for guide
he found II boys asleep in Houndsditch
on the roof of one building. The next
night he found in Billingsgate over 20
little fellows stretched on a number OF
barrels covered with tarpaulin.
The young man told these facts at q
public meeting. The earl of Shaftes-
bury, an eager philanthropist. went
with him that night to Billingsgate and
found the poor little gamins on the bar
rels. An old house was taken, cleaned
and furnished with cheap, comfortable
beds. DR.. Barnado took charge of it.
The work has grown until his houses
have received tens of thousands Of
friendless children until permanent
homes have been found for them.
Tourgenieff, when a boy, saw one day
a woman, a serf on one of his mothers
estates, brutally beaten. He never for
got the incident. The result, years after
ward, was volume of sketches of the
lives of serfs. 1t fell into the hands of
the car, and, j; is said. was the cause of
the ukase which he issued soon after
ward, enfranchising all the serfs of
Russia.
1t was not the homeless boy, nor the
serf with the blood flowing from her
stripes, that wrought these good works
in the world. Homeless boys had slept
in London streets and serfs had been
beaten in Russia for centuries. The helm
lay in the plying hearts of two young
men.-Youth's Companion.
