Lambs & Ohnti.kmkh, ok WitKiLiNO: a 1 have keen informed that yours is the tirat ctlort in tho young Stale of West Virginia, to organize a Children's Home or Juvenile Kelormatory. My own experience has been derived Irom many year's connection with our House ot ltclugc, now known >9 the Pennsylvania Itelorm School, and my having attended tho Reformatory Congresses, aa they are called, which met in Cincinnati in 1871, in Baltimore In 1873 and in St. Louis in 1871, and being Cbiet at the Bureau ot Statistics ol our State, In all which capacities juvenile reformation has been an iinporUnt part ol the objects to bo attained. Until recently such institutions uuve.uuua cuumueu an priBuan una generally found surrounded with high walla, holts and bars, similar to the surroundings o! our Jails and penitentiaries. At present all these surroundings are abandoned and tho ellort is to retain the inmates by moral restraint and attach them by christian love. I see in looking over the organization of your board a goodly portion ol its management consists of ladies, who probably very largely attend to the details of its administration. 1 regard this as eminently wise and that it will do more to relieve it of the associations ol prison life than any thing else. The most ignorant and graceless inmate has still within him an instinct which longs for a mother's love. "And years and Bin and forrow n?e. And leave him at his mother's kuee." 1 can perhaps best enable you to comprehend my views in regard to juvenile Reformatories by briclly sketching what has been done in I'enusyivania. 1 do tliiB moro readily bccausc my conviction is tlmt tho next few years will demonstrate the interests of your gtato and ours are to bo closely identified. We arc geographically neighbors; and in addition your toil and mineral deposits aro identical with ours. You require our heavier capital, our denser population and our skilled workmen to develop west Virginia's immbnsk agricultural AND it INK UAL RESOURCES. Your rivers aro our rivers. Tho future extension of our railroad system must penetrate your valleys and carry to market their exbaustless productp. No two Btates of this Union are moro identical in their interests, and ought to act in closer sympathy, than West Virginia and Pennsylvania; and therefore our experience should furnish useful lessons lo you. Our own State has been unusually blessed in her orphan homes, and largely, I believe, owing to her Quaker origin. Whatever estimate you put upon Quakerism as a question ol theology, none can doubt its merits as a humanitarian system for the care and training of tho young and rising generation. The benevolent institutions of Philadelphia largely owo their high merit to the infusiou of Quakers among her early settlers. Several of the volun* tary Reformatories, similar to your own, had shape given to them before the Revolution, when Quaker influence predominated moro largely than it has since, for within the last 50 years scarcely that number of thee and thou broad-brimmedshad bellied Quakers havo been members of tho Legislature?of which they once constituted an almost constant majority. The Eastern House of Kefugo was a pet measure with prominent Quakers halt a century since. Our Western one was copied from its Eastern sister, though we have recently remodeled it upon tho tamily plan and claim that wo will within two or throe years bo ablo to exhibit to you within forty miles of Wheeling the Model Juvenile Reformatory of the world. Our new buildings, upon the Chartiers Valley Railroad, in Washington county, are far advanced; but the removal ot the inmates and tho ornamenting ol tho ground will require about the timo stated lo exhibit tho whole to advantage. Our design discards all walls, bolts and bars and seeks to retain five hundred boys and girls upon a large farm by moral suasion alono. This class ot Reformatories are quite to expensivo to bo undertaken by A YOUNG STATE LIKE WEST VIROINIA. You, therefore, are more interested in anotner class 01 our lteiormaiones?aoout lorty in number in out State. These are chitlly sustained by voluntary contributions Irorn individuals sod churches. The aggregate capacity ol all these la fully five times that ol both ol our State Reformatories. The largest ol these, Girard College, contains nearly six hundred inmates, sum to he doubled In number and has pledged (or its support an estate north at least Are millions, llut many of tbem are humble institutions, not exceeding your own. About one half of them are situated in and around Philadelphia, one' luurth in and around Pittsburgh and the other fourth, generally, one in each of the smaller cities of our State. The inmates of this latter class are not necesiariiy criminals. The Inmates or the Houies ol Iielugo havo been all charged before some uiagutratoor court with criminality to a greater or less extent?much the iargei number with incorrigibility and being un controled by their parents and guardians Since writing the foregoing, the last wll ol the late John Edgar Thompson, oui greatest Hatlroad President, has beet made public, wherein he dedlcalcs hi largo estate to the founding ol an institu tion lor the support and education of thi daughters of thoso whose lives have beei pent in the service ol railroads. This i; all 1 deem necessary to say of our Pennsylvania Reformatories. WHO ARE l'ROl'KB suiUBCTs! If I rightly understand the principle underlying all industrial and relormator schools they are; prem Uu in their char Oder. The old and wise maxim, "?i ounc? of preventive li worth a pound o cure," conititutet their earner ilonc. Tin ! intention U to take hold ol the child before evil habits have been lormed am guide him In tho path ol rcctltudc. Thi inmates of your Hcformatorles aro wanderer! whom jou seek to bring back li the airtight and narrow path. The inmates ol bflmas tucli aa yours arc muiill) those neglected wails lound at the entrance ol the broad road that loads to destruction, whom jou warn ol their dani ger and Invito t<> a harbor of safety. This subject li pre-eminently Catholic In the sense u<cd in the Apostle's creed and 1 can conceive ol no lover ol his rac< who should not Isbor earnestly therein. Tho Christian, tho highest stylo of man flndi bis warrant In the Master1! injunction, "Iced my lambs;" tho humanitarian discovers that it lessens tho ills to which flesh is heir; and the more worldling, whe only believea in tho almighty dollar, flndi his taxes materially lightened by the success ol such Institutions. Aye, this misi ol orphanage, Want aod crime, II unoared lor, spring up to fill your watch houses poor houses, Jails and penitentiaries, and doublo tho charges upon every tax payer. In the tree sense ot political economy every industrious laborer adds at least $1,000 to tho wealth ol your city, the Btato and the nation. Uo not only supports himiell and his family, but ho also contributes his share to diminish the publie burdens. But it Instead ol contributing thus to save, his Ignorance and his rices make him an incubus upon the body politic, be becomes a charge to tho extent ol $200 or $300 annually to pay your police for his arrest, your magistrate, judge and iurors lor hit trial and conviction, your priaon keeper lor his detention, and your hangman lor his execution. Then instead ol tho $1,000 addition, you have $1,000 subtracted Irom your national wealth; instead ol a usclul citizen you havo * WOHTIILBSS HAOAUUKPIN. Oh, property holders ol Wheeling, if you seek a mode to lessen your taxes, contribute liberally to build up institutions to collect these wtifs floating upon the ocean ul life, and aid these HArnnat mini onH nrnmon In train tlmm tin to virtue and usefulness. Choose you this night, yo worshipers of wealth, whit ye will do, contribute yonr share to educate and care for these children ol orphanage and want picked up in the purlieus ol your city,or permit them to grow up in ignorace, vice and crime,-and pay ten times as much a lew years hence to support them in the poor house, the prison, or upon the gallows. Whether you recognlzs it or not, God has made you your brother's keeper. You can not, Cain like, by a thousand excuses, relieve yourself ol this fearful responsibility. Yourself and all you have you owe to His bounty. Think not that even by hiding your talent In the earth all His requirementa are luHilled. The parable ol the talents teaches a different rule of duty. I do not wish yoa to infer that I believe education alone will baniBh crime from our land. No, no: This is a great preventive, but not a universal panacea. Education, and that of a high order too, alone prepares the highest class ol criminals to execute the schemes by which they live. Bharp, keen, active and educated brains contrive the gigantic frauds which rob Wall street ol its millions, and require your detectives years to unravel. Bat the great mass ol convicts in your M0UNDSV1LLB 1'BNITRNTIAItY are trom the uneducated class. In our juvenile reformatories four-filths of them come Irom these neglected walls of orphanage and want, who have been forced to beg or steal a livelihood, and have xrown up scarcely any one can tell how, or when, or whero. We had all hoped that in this happy country no such class would ever exist; but alas! what means those learlul columns in our census returns tvhlch report that four and a ball millions can Dot read and live and a hall millions can not write ? (These aro, ol course, not to be added togethor; the latter class includes the former). But what a fearful cloud la. this hanging over our republican institutional For the threo millions ol illiterates over eighteen wo can only hope that the intelligence of the mass will, like leaven, leaven the whole lump. But the two milltona under eighteen we must seek to enlighten through our system ol common schools. The first century ol our national existence will ere long close delivering to the sccond a mighty Republican Empire of lorly millions, within whose bounds not the clank of a chained slave can be heard. But It will also demand of that second century that at some period of its progress every vater shall be able to read the constitution of the United States and to writo his own name. When the consummation is tllected, then and not till then will the design ol the founders ol our Republican Institutions be an accomplished lact. But these are general truths not immediately applicable to your duties in building this Homo for neglected children. Our duties are, each ol us in our own neighborhoods, to gather in.and instruct thu poor and the orphans. God expressly declares that the poor we shall always have with us to thu end ol limo. Our first duty is to care for such In our own vicinity. Occasionally he may raiso up a l'aul, a Luther or a Wesley whoso labors are to be world wide. Let each of ous however labor within the sphere assigned us. Wherever wo lied neglected childrcd gather them into tho Sunday tichool. If they have so place ol shelter during the week, then Into the nearest Orphan Asylum, Homo ol the Friendless, nr hu ?hil?t?ir ntniA knnwn intn mimn place where neglected children are nurtured and cared lor, and give our personal aid and contributions to care Tor them when collected. TUB BAKOK3 U40S OF 0 BUM ANY. What in modern parlanco Is known as the family PVBtcm la admiiably adapted lor all such Reformatories. The Raoges ilaus ol Wickcrn, the founder oi that system meant simply a Hough House, or thatchcd cottage, you might call it, that a wealthy German permitted him to uao to shelter his flrat few boys. Theso hoys were sent out as his missionaries and tbey brought in other boys. Another shinty or ranges hans was erected until a village ol lourteen inch houses constituted his first Reformatory. 80 too when Wheel. 1 ing becomes five fold her present popula. tion and wealth you may increase yours to the .number Wlchern had lor hi! German Reformatory. The first contri1 button be ever received for this purpose 1 amounted to (3 SO of our money, anil yel 1 over this ho knelt down and prayed ths 1 prayer of faith, aa if it had been thou' sanaa. Detnelz, at Mettrai, rendered hii 1 Reformatory even more .famous than thai lrom which he bad profeasedly copied and now they are fonnd all over Europi and the United States. The Ohio reloru 1 School, near Lancaster, less than om hundred miles west of you, was the firs in this country. Ours, in Washingtoi 1 county, is the latest modeled upon thii 1 family plan. la this country wo usually have Ux ' large a percentage ol benevolent contri : butioni sunk In brick and mortar ercctini 1 grand buildings. It you have the mcani r to build grand churches or grand orphai 1 asylums, 1 do not find fault with yon 9 budding them, liut be like Wlchern, I ' you have only a small fund, begin witl 8 that. Then add a family building Iron 1 time to time aa your children increasi 9 in numbers and demand further accomo ditions. Locate, if possible, upon a larg lot in the out skirls of your oity, that wll givo vou room for surrounding building! s Wo havo six under way at Morganiia am I' may have * dozen more within the nei ' fifty yean. i i would (specially urge tliat you should t liavu all religious denomination! to unite in erecting and sustaning your home. It la not necessary to inculcate the peculiarity of any one denomination la tho cxerciso of your home. Tho generally accepted truths or our common Christianity arc nil that need tx> taught in nurti schools. In ths Sunday service the Episcopalian may Hse his 1'rayer Hook and ii|Unl toleration bo allowed to every other clergyman, the understanding being that the peculiarities of others tire not to be assailed. In my Judgment It il vastly better to have one live, vigorous Homo than hall a dozeu ol aickly denominational institutions, in which event threo-fourths ot the money raised is sunk in brick and mur< tar and not enough remains to support tho children. In our Juvenile Reformatory wo have never encountered any troublo in regard to the mingling of the various denominations, any mora than In our common schools. Tho oldest member of our Board Is a Itoman Catholic and tho clergy of that church are allowed to vlalt their children sent tu our House. Ono or two slight misundcrHandings have, within twenty years, arisen out of this commingling ol all denominations, but nothlog at all serious, Our present Superintendent Is un Episcopal clergyman and soma of our former ones have been Presbyterians and Methodists; but our children are not puzzled with nice distinctions between the Westminster confession and tho thirty-nine articles. 1 think it vital to your success that your homo should be organized upon broad catholic principles upon which all can co operate. When Wheeling becomes a city ol two or three hundred thousand population, then perhaps you can sustain enough for each denomination to have Its own Philadelphia has a number and perhaps Pittsburgh two or three, denominational in their character; but I believe all in our smaller towns are catholic in their character and are supported by at least ALL TItE l'UOTKSTANT cnUIlCHKS. lu all reiormations Otbor is an inditpenuMt ingrcdunt, Each child should bo rsqulred to devoto soma portion of each day to learn some trade or occupation. It is desirable it should be useful and productive to the institution. Hut if you have not a productive employment for your boys, then let them carry paving stone from one part ot the lot one day and back tho next to give them habits ol industry. Teach them that industry is a duty and laziness a crime; tbat labor u a blasting and idleness a curat). This should lie emphasized in tho dally routine ol every day's duties?one half ol each day should be appropriated to atady and the other ball to labor. II I were a law giver, with despotic power, I would reproduce the old Jewish code, that no young man or young woman should marry or be Riven in marriage until the man should have learned some trade, profession or occupation to support a family, nor until the young woman could demonstrate her litness to conduct, by bcr own labor, a household cs tablisbineut. The lolly of young people in this respect casts upon society a large percentage ol tbese uncared lor children tbat go to fill up all Buch institutions as theBe. Labor is God's ordinance. Idleness peoples tbo devil's kingdom with half its victims. Tbo rules of our insti tutlon assign one-half the hours of each day to study and tho other hall to some industrial employment. Our girls are chiefly employed in the domestic duties ol tho establishment. Our boys work In the whip, broom and shoe shops and some filly little lellows that can do nothing else are taught to knit and sew. When we remove to the larm wo expect to employ them largely in tho cultivation of small fruits, orchards and vegetables lor tbo Pittsburgh market. This wo tuppose will be better for their health and prepare them for being indentured to farmers upon leaving us. Wo have lound that our children wore better satisfied when we could Bend them to primitiyc agricultural districts than any where else. 1 have no doubt you will find, in the mountain counties of West Virginia, larmers to bo the very best persons to whom to indenture your children. The nearer that community in which tliey are to grow up, comes to the good old days ol Adam and Xve that knew not the oamesof master and servant, the more successful will your apprentice children be. llave any ol you gentlemen, who are called upon to contribute, doubts in your own minds as to whether this is tbo wisest mode ol supplying tho caro and education demanded by these neglected children? If so, please give us a wiser and belter one. Tho expcrienco of tho christian would seem to have demonstrated that institutions simifar to youra meet the difficulties of tho case better than any other agency yet discovered. Now upon you lies tho burthen ol proof that there is a better way. Every city In the old world and the new has been acting upon this Bjatcm for many years. Wo will listen to no lault finding unless you can suggest a bettor. 1 admit that, in a sparsely settled district, neglected children are so rare that such institutions are not required. lint in a crowded city, if a benevolently disposed individual would take to his own homo all the neclectcd waifs he picked up in the street, he would soon liavo to send away his own family. Therefore institutions Btich as these have become indispensable in crowded centers ol population. This is the more necessary in tho medium cities than in tho older and larger ones. A century hence Wheeling may have produced wealthy Girards and Thompsons whoso estates may be dedicated to tho care and education of neglected orphans. If that condition ol things should occur, then, and not till then will the christian, the philantliopist and the mere worldliDg be excused Irom contributing to such objects. This class of Reformatories opens a wide door ot usefulness for women upon charitable deeds Intent. Your own shows how fifteen ladies, without abandoning home or domestic duties devote much lime to your Reformatory asking i no conpcnsatlon. But in other places we find many accomplished ladies who have withdrawn from all the atlraclions of domestic and social lile, and dedicated i themselves to the care and management . ol this class ol institutions. Tho two , most successful Juvenile Reformatories ia England have at their heads, the one, i Mary Carpenter and the other Margaret . lilll, women ol wealth, culture and high i social position, whs each manage a Ret formatory, and in addition arc extensive j authors on the subject of Prison Reform. . Bo, too,in this country woman has shown I herself competent to fill all the departI ments ol educational work. Wherever ; common schools have been most success: tul, there nine-tenths ol the actual teachi ing Is done by women. So, too, most of ; our Homes and Orphan Asylums are cont ducted by women. Several or our most i conservative churches have taken meala ures to educate women as nurses for their hospitals and teachers for their church 5 schools. Of courso, if woman is to en. gage In these pursuits, then she should be ; educated to do her work in the best way. j Neither Miss Nightingale nor Miss Dix 3 could have accomplished their mission r had they not been highly educated. Vou f need not Icar that 1 propose to shut up all ! the young ladies of the land in nunneries a and subject them to vows ol perpetual 0 celibacy. No, no,ninety-nine hundredths . of them will take care or mat. But the e Tew who voluntarily enlist to lollow the II example ol tho above named ladles should i. be qualified to reader lives so devoted d USEFUL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT. :t Ladles and Gentletnehj Managers of thii Home: Your dutiea are at all times labor Ions and to the looker on seem thankless but in the end, fear not, they will retnn with blessings upon your own beads The Divine promlso ia moat aure, "tha those who water otbera shall themselvci bo watered in turn."

The seed sown in the gardner's soil will not more surely bring iorth fruit, than will human afltc(ions thus prepared bring Iorth Iruitunto eternal lilo.

Among p tho commonest soarcea ol pain, uneasiness and melancholy aro the diseases which affcct the c stamacb, tho liver, tho alimentary canal, tho nerves and the muscles, such as dyspepsia, bilious disorders, constipation, headacho, hysteria, and rheumatism, all of which yield readily to the rogulatlng, Invigorating and purifying infla- j encc.cf this peerless vegetable tonic, stimulant I andrestoratlvo.

Tho trouble whou takon in tlmo is oaally overcome, bat when neglected, or when the quack Is visited and he gives his course of Balsam Copalbo, then very often serious complications arlso which prolong tho disease for weeks, perhaps months.
