ThcrBwelI Orphans &c.

This worthy Institution j. situated
'cOrthy Of The enooEI ageln"nt of every
h-ncvOicntlr disposed person. 1t now
has within it, wall- one hundred ana
fifty orphans wEo need care. culture
clothing and everything else that any
child needs. Among its wards are
three orphan children of this county.
II takes orphans from all over tn,
United States and j. entirely support.
I'D by charity.
Just now the superintendent of the
prphaua"c. Mr.. VIM. =. Jacobs. is
sues an appeal Ter aid. from which we
gather that the institution has barely
one week supply on hand, and when
that i out. unless the Lord sends re-
lief. the little ones @-ill be destitute
1T takes 500 Il month to provide food
and raiment fOr each child in the or
lalana@e. or $40 d month for the
entire ll0 orphans.
contributions are Urgently solicited.
Many of the children have neither.
father. mother. siSt4. nor brother to
whom they can re for protection.
These will be cast adrift upon the
world if the orphanage fails to give
them support. Surely there l. no per
son but feels for these little innocent
sufferers, or who will hesitate to con-
tribute toward their maintenance and
education.

thrones
With somewhat OF magnetic force.
Go bless the Pr offer of the Gear
And grant that he may be sincerel
And cause to cease the art OF war!
And let the White-winged Dove
appear,
What beauty would it give the earth,
Could such consummation be!
The golden age W, uld have it's birth,
Aud all the Nations would agree.
That time will come, but when and
how
The Wisest Solons cannot know;
tbs ours to wit and trust Him now,
WHO orders all things here below.
