of these homes, though in good measure supported
by public moneys, are of them capable of CIV

one per cent Of all the children in the State are
in institutions majority of which are sup

pendents. while one-thirty-hfth OF all the chill

THE EVENING STAR.

Beyond the mountains purple shade
The yellow fires of sunset fade:
The Evening Star shines pure and bright
The wild thrush sings a last good night.
His winding sivery tones prolong
To yon soft star their fairy song;
Night folds the vale with darker peace
oh bark! those trembling flute notes cease.
So when Lies rosy beam shall fail
And leave all dark in Earth's sweet vale,
My song. my last good night shall be.
o Star of Love to thee,-tO thee!
