[COPYltlOHT, 1830.]
[Spcclul Corrcspocilcnce.1
Wo had stopped at Fifth street. Our
bargo had floated, early that morning,
from undor tho shadow of llollevuo
Hospital to whoro tho second landing
is made. Wo had taken on at Twenty
sixth street habios without number,
smiloloss babies, so wizened and wan,
so palo and weak, and so silent too,
most of thom, that ono's heart ached.
Not babies at all. ono began to beliovo
after looking into their faces. Old with
an ago that bad known no youth, drawn
with a suffering always muto, withered,
inscrutable. No, verily, not babies, but
incarnations of a misery conturios old?
the aggregates of all man's sin to man,
his sorrow, his unrolieved despair.
It was in vain, that, during that first
half hour, tho breezes came fresh from !
tho river, and tho Hags floated freely
against the blue sky above. Tho weight
of that mystery?man's willingness to
out-wit bis brother, and so suffer such i
creatures as these babies to exist?boro '
too heavily. Not even when a gradual '
understanding of this philanthropy at
work began to dawn on the mind could
one throw off the gloom. For just then
there came the landing at Fifth street,
and more babies, more misery, moro
squalor, more wretchedness.
"Enteritis," "Meningitis," "Gastri?
tis," called the doctors to each other in
low tones, with quick flashes of tho cyo
and wiso nods over tho heads of tho
people, while somo of tho babies aro
passed on board, and others, with con?
tagious maladies, aro sent back on
shore. And tho band plays above, and
tho crowds surge below, and the low
tones of tho doctors fall full on tho car.
It all makes a drama of human life,
haunting the memory like a cry.
Tho holiday-barge, to bo sure, is not
invariably there. Tho landing is al?
most always mado in quiot, the doctors
noedlng no policeman, -ho mothers un
distractod by any rush. And after tho
bargo has swung into tho stream and
the broczes havo begun to stir faint
color in somo of tho cheeks, ono begins
to realize the wonder of it all, tho
greatness of tho charity, the marvel of
its organization. One looks with a sort
of glad surprise at thoso mothers who
have como swarming from evory dark
and noisomo alloy, from out of damp
cellars, down narrow, crooked stairs,
bring tboir pinched and white-faced
babies for a breath of this sweet, puro
air. Ono forgota tho woes in delight at
tho remody.
It Is about twonty-ttareo years sinco
"St. John's Guild" first began sending
the sick children of tenement houses on
free, fresh air excursions, and not only
the sick children, but tho worn and
weary mothers as well. For it is one I
of tho wiso provisions of this organiza?
tion that no sick child need be separ?
ated from its mother. So th?t in this
way tho child and tho parent are both
spared the nervous strain of parting;
both aro benefited, and above all, the
mother has an opportunity to imbibe a
littlo wisdom in regard to tho caro of
her baby. Tho trained nurses aro thoro
every moment to direct hor. The doc?
tors aro in and out among tho patients
all day long.
Four times a week the bargo sails, I
and this barge, by the by, has a his?
tory, having once boon burned when it
was tho "lliver Helle." Now she has I
been made ovor, and so changed as to
be unrecognizable by the. most ardent
of her old admirers. Thoro aro two
great decks. On out! are the bath-rooms,
tho children's ward, tho doctor's office, !
and on both benches and scats without
number. In tho hold is the dining
room where ovory day all tho mothers
sit down to a freshly cooked hot dinner, j
From evory available mast and polo
above flags float, and as much of a holi- i
day air as possible pervades every thing.
There are always two doctors in at?
tendance, ono tho regular physician to
whom this work has been appointed for
ON" TIIK nETUKN' TMP.
tho season, tho othor a physician sent
for tho day by tho board of health.
Tho doctors examino each mother and
child who arrives at tho gang plank,
roceiving from thom their passes. This
examination is mado in order that none
of the passengers may bo exposed to
any contagiousdisoaso, and tho passes
aro filed in order that tho physicians
maybe notified in regard to any mis
take In judgment tbey may have made,
Tho number of passengers carried on
any ono trip is now limited to fourtoon
hundred, although until this regulation
was put into effect somo hundreds ovor
this numbor woro sometimos carried.
Tho avorago cost a day for each passen
gor is twonty-four and ono-half conts.
No patient, however, has any thing
to pay for herself, neithor on tho barge,
nor yet at the Seaside hospital. Sbo is
a guest, from the timo she starts until
she lands again.
At about 10:30 o'clock in the morning
there is a stir and a movement on deck,
and up tho steps comes a man with a
milk-can, holding a hundred quarts.
Then thero is a hurried rush, and the
calm and ubiquitous policeman steps for?
ward, and tho tumult ceases, and as if by
magic tho crowd melts away into a long
lino of eager women and children, each
one with a cup, or tin pail or its cover,
hold out to bo filled with tho warm sweet
milk. No ono is limited as to quantity,
neither mothors nor children. Homo of
the wannest of tho babies open their
eyes gratefully, and ono sees tho suspi?
cion of a color coining into their cheeks.
A more cheerful atmosphere is felt
everywhere. Somo of tho Italian
babies, wrapped tightly in colored
cloths, begin to play on tho floor, their
long earrings making a jingling sound.
Tho Italian mothers begin to smile,
flashing their white teoth at us over
their shoulders. The old Irish woman
in her clean white frilled cap has
settled down with a placid smile, hav?
ing found the neighbor's children that
sho brought on board and lost.
Tho bundles that hnvo lain about on
tho bonchos begin to ?mroll. Out of
some come crusts and stale bananas, out
of others como babies. Somo of these
in'the ward.
begin to cry. Hut wo aro glad of tho
cry, for dead children do not cry, and
every now and then somo ono says that
that baby is dead. You look with
startled, pitying glance, and tho moth?
er shakes her head and says: "Not
yet"
"Not yot," why. of course "not yet,"
thinks tho doctor, stooping to touch
tho child. And "not yot" echoes a
sweet-voiced nurse, daintily draped, a
lady ono knows in a moment, bonding
and lifting the little ono and carrying
it to a white, clean bed in tho ward.
For Into this ward all tho very sick
children are brought, and those that
grow no better during this day's sail
are takon with their mothers to tho soa
sido hospital and kept thero until they
aro well, or beyond our care forever.
Off at tho other end of tho boat is
tho bath-room, with another nurse and
groat heaps of clean towels. Into the
tubs both hot and cold sea water is
pumped, and any child may, with the
doctor's permission, have a bath. And
bow they tumble about and splash in
the waterl And how droll somo of them
aro! Ono is there, eight years old only,
her faca cumbered with great shining
white spectacles. Down into the tub
she goes, spectacles atid all, coming
out white, glistening and dripping, her
long wet hair in lank lines over her face
and those huge spoctaclcs gloaming at
the intruder with a sort of defiant
wonder.
After dinner comes the stop for tho
patients destined for tho seaside hospi?
tal. The barge anchors in mid-stream
and tho patients aro carried ashore in
boats, so long and so many-oared that
ono thinks of the early pilgrim fathers
being rowed to some new strango homo.
And the doctor wails on shore with a
flag of hopo liko a joyous pioneer.

dred feet of high-water mark, with tho
sea on ono sido and tho stretch of pino
woods on tho other, with wido veran?
dahs and cool wards, it would ho hard
to find anywhere a place better adnptod
to its needs. None of the glaring whito
of tho town hospitals is here. Tho wood
is dark and restful to tho eye. Tho
glare of tho ocean does not penetrate
boyond tho wido shado of the veran?
dahs, and from tho pine groves on tho
other side comes only a woll-tempered,
softened light. Two permanent physi?
cians live here with trained nurses and
matrons. When a sick baby is brought to
tho hospital tho mother remains with
it, and both are cared for in that same
generous spirit which characterizes all
that is done by president and managers
for the sick and helpless of New York.
