THE NEWS-BOYS' HOME.

1  

CHILDREN in any of our cities can scarcely go out to walk without meeting numbers of boys, usually barefooted and ragged, who scream the names of different newspapers, and offer them for sale in the streets, the cars, and the railroad-stations and steamboat-landings. Some of them have no home, and sleep in empty boxes or in alleys. They are ignorant of the best things, and are often dishonest and profane. Some gentlemen are trying to establish a comfortable home for the poor fellows, where they will be taught their duty to God, as well as induced to save their earnings and become good citizens.
