pressed with the thoughtfulness and
liberality of the many donors. From
the tiniest tot whom death had robbed
Of parental love to the boys and girls
who are nearly grown ample provision
had been made. The children were SO
happy it seemed that they had we'll
nigh forgotten that devoted fathers
and mothers were not with them to en-
joy the celebration.
The superintendent Of the Orphan

BY his Worthy Matrons," did all that
human power could accomplish to
to the enjoyment of the

md faithfully teaches gave him a
