A KIERRY CHRISTMAS REMEMBER THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF OUR SOLDIERS. let ns be grateful to.those who are far away by bimluess to (hose wbo are at borne. AN APPEAL TO THE BENEVOLENT. Wc present to the readers of The Press, as our offering on this Christmas morning, a statement ol' the well-established and de serving charities of Philadelphia. The amount of good done by these associations is incalculable, and as the demands upon their liberality will be unusually large on account of tbe necessities'created by tlie war, and the usual wants of winter, we urge upon our- friends everywhere the: duty of remembering them in this time of gladness and festivity. All contributions sent to us for any of these most deserving associations will be acknowledged in our columns, and paid over to whatever society the giver may prefer. It is possible wc have omitted some worthy societies on account of the negligence of - officers to whom we made application for information. Any oversight of this kind will be remedied. Female Association for the Belief of Siek and. Infirm Foot. This organization wsb perfected In the winter season of the year 1828-9, to furnish clothing to the sick and Infirm, and also. employment to poor women In making Clothing at fair remunerative prices, thus fostering a spirit of Independence and self-respect, which is an Important part of this charity. Imposition Is avoided by personal investi gation of the situation and necessities of those ap plying for relief., All the funds are appropriated to the purchase of material and the making of the gar ments, as the society pays no salaries. The finances are comparatively light, and the present high prices of goods will necessarily curtail the operations or the Association, unless contributions are promptly sent forward. The treasurer of the organization is Mrs. Elizabeth J. Ferris, No. 937 Franklin street. Female Society for tbe Belief and Em plojinent of !he Poor. Tills organization is the oldest of the hind in the city. It was instituted in tho year 1793, and there fore has attained the venerable age of 71 years. In the autumn of 1783 there were a large number of foreigners in Philadelphia in the deepßEt distress and destitution, In consequence of the yellow fever scourge, that had prevailed until one-fifth of the In habitants had been swept off'by Its seemingly re sistless power. The founders of the society divided the city Into districts, and visited the widows and the fatherless in their afflictions, and gave them food, clothing, and’employment. Subsequently a house was ronted,wherein the women were employed in sewing and spinning, care being tahen of their children. The society was incorporated in 1815. With the increase of the city and the organization of other benevolent associations, it has withdrawn from general visiting, l The managers confine their operations principally to furnishing sowing, quilt ing, &c., at their House of Industry, at 112 North Seventh street, Aged women, and those with young children, who cannot procure work, are received at this house. There have been 170 women living here at one-time, with 60 children in-the nursery. The garments made in the work-room and the fancy ar ticles contributed by the members are sold, and thus some aid is gained that assists in defraying the expenses. A small daily compensation is given to the employees, they receive all the comforts of home, and good and wholesome meals, Mrs. Rachel Seattergeod, 413 Spruce street, is treasurer, and Mrs. /Juliana Randolph, 1734 Chestnut street, Is clerk; . ' ■ ■ V•' . ■ Tlrst Lailfes’ Association. This association was organized in the Twenty, fourth ward, on January 27,-1883, for the.relief of widows, wives, and children of our brave soldiers on the fields, in the hospitals, or who have fallen In i battle. During the first year,the society aided 71 * mothers, 204 children, and 11 widows; 2 children on- 1 tered the Girard college."' The hußbands of some > of these women were in New York regiments, Dela ware do., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and United .. States’Colored Troops. A mother with six . chil- ; dren, not ha.ving.tho means .to.pay ran t,, was, f> fisc-, tuaily assisted so as to retain her home; a widow with consumption, her husband having- died in camp, leaving four children; four children left motherless, their father in the service .of his eoun try, being kindly assisted, give an Index to the ob jects of the Society. At the end of the first year, there were 93 members belonging to the association, twenty-twooi this number being active. The meet ings of the members are held in the new Philadel phia Institute, on Thirty-ninth street, above Mar ket. : During the present year the society Included in their operations the wives, widows, and.chUilran of the sailors of the United. States navy. The • la files close their annual report as follows; "We re turn grateful thanks to our contributors and do-, nors, hoping that when the winter winds blow, and beow flakes fill the air, as they draw nearer to the fire they will again remember the widow and the orphan of our own brave soldiers and sailors who are willing to’ fight until the stars and stripes shall float from Maine to Texas, and our eagle folds her wings and seeks again her mountain nest, to gaze once more on a country at peace with all men,” Foster Horae Association. This home has peculiar claims upon the oommu* nlty generally, and particularly at the present time, as-an emergency has arisen in its affairs which must and probably will be met. It has been organized eighteen or twenty years, during which period no house rent has been paid through the kindness of the trustees of the Preston Retreat. v The time has arrived when the funds of the late Dr. Preston have become available, and the trustees deem It their solemn duty to put into operation the charity for which the building was designed. This being r the case, the managers purchased a lot of ground at Poplar and Twenty-iOurth streets, from Mr. Joseph Harrison,-whereon to erect a suitable building. The high prices of labor and material have retarded the operations. The sum of only 840,000 Is required to meet every want. The domestic claims ef this insti tution have .great force upon the community. The homo is for half orphans .of poor but respectable parentage. The surviving parent, either lather or mother, is often at tho time of the death of either, thrown by the hand of Providence Into very great trouble, and the home broken up. The children, as dear to them as those of the wealthyctasses, must be provided for, they must be taken care of, and to meet this emergency the Foster Home was estab lished.' In case the surviving parents should ever become enabled to take eaie of their offspring, the child or children are restored to them. In order that parents may be field somewhat responsible, and their feelings not become estranged, they are required to pay a very small sum to ieed and clothe their children. Enel-saving: Society. This association was established in tie year 1821, and received Its act of incorporation in the year 1837. Since its commencement it Las been going on with, varying success, but on the whole progress* lug within the last ten years rapidly. The object especially which prompted the organization was that of assisting the Industrious poor to purchase their winter wood at less rates than were charged by dealers when winter came. The society bought wood in the warm season at summer rates, and fur nished it to those who were’ entitled to It at the ori ginal cost.- The recipients entitled themselves to the fuel by paying In the spring and summer such small sums from their earnings as theyoould well spare, the amounts so paid being placed to their credit in pass-books furnished them. The attention of the society at the present time is directed to tho purchase of coal instead of wood, and as there is not so great a difference between summer and winter prices, the article is contracted tor in the fall, and Furnished to depositors at fifty cents per ton below the contract price; It can searcoly be said that this society Is based upon charity. Its chief object is to assist the poor to help themselves in teaching them habits of care, industry, and economy, by giving them a direct object and a certain return for it. The society has done an immense amount of good, and its usefulness is steadily increasing. It-has claims that should arregt the attention of tholndue trial classes. A small amount paid weekly during the spring and summer will insure a happy return for the investment at the most Inclement season of the year. : - ' Heine for the Moral Reform of destitute Co!orec! CMltirciit The Homs was chartered by the Legislature in the year 1860; it is located at No. 70S Lombard street. The object of this Institution Is to take In the most destitute class of colored children, such as aieionnd in the streets, friendless and homeless; also, those who have no earthly,protectors, cither left orphans or abandoned by dissolute parents. A. number of these are sheltered under this friendly roof and trained to habits of order and usefulness, as scon as they are properly Instructed they are olaced in respectable families..: In addition to tliis benevolent purpose, a large primary school is main tslued ior the-vagrant colored children of the neighborhood; such of these who cannot.readily obtain meals are fed at the institution. This Home is fuppoitefl by charitable persons, who contrioute voluntarily to it. Ho collector is employed to solicit lundß. The most rigid economy Is exercised.' up to the present time the Homo has been pretty well supported. Contributions in money may be sent to Mrs, Sarah R. Copo, 1312 Filbert street. Clothing oDd provisions will be thankfully received at the Home. • ■ ; Howard Hospital and Infirmary Tor lo> cmaMes. This institution Is located at Nos. 1518 and 1620 Lombard street. It was founded in the-year 1853, since which time relief. has been allorded to 30,816 patients. During the present year, over 8,000 have been attended to. Of the patients registered for one Tear up to the time the last annual report was made, 2,872 were males, and 4,238 - females—3,9oB adults, and 2,101 minors. The number ol prescript i ions compounded during the present year will ex eetd 19 000. The only debt of the institution Is a ground’i ent of $1,500. A debt of *325 for repairs has -1 been paid recently. If the society was relieved of the around rent debt, the donations ol contributors would be applied exclusively to the relief of the sSch. The- object of tlits association commends Itself to the earnest and prompt attention of the community. The average cosh of each patient Is only 28 cents per year. Nearly all the diseases which human flesh is “heir to,” are promptly treated at thlß infirmary. No Institution can show more economical management. It has rarely callet for public assistance, although.lt is a grea» benefit to tho community at large. Tl»e Tmlnstrial Home .for. Girls... This Institution Is located at the corner of Broad strict and Columbia avenue. It was chartered by the Leglelaturo“ n- the year 1859. IS was began iriih small means, few friends, and uncertain pros pects.* 1 operations are yet limited, though gra, nallv improving. From the last annual report, it cMearsthat forty girls‘during the year snared, ton m P o fr or tee sxtelt : -Uie-beMfit3of the home, ,Ia PHILADELPHIA. MOOT A Y : i? DECEMBER 26, 1864, several instances girls, who wore formerly inmates, returned to It temporarily for shelter until some other arrangement could be made. Like all other benevolent and charitable Institutions, this one has not escaped the depressing Influence of the high prices for provisions.- When parents take their daughters there for admission, they ate required to sign an agreement giving up control of (hem to the managers of the Home',Until they aTe eighteen, years of ago. If girls are takon there by others than their parents, they must be committed by, one of the judges or the county courts. -The Inmates of the. Homo are religiously and morally trained, and good homes finally procured for them in different parts of the country. This institution certainly commends itself to the sympathy orsensiblepeople. It merits support. .The managers are ladles of ra flnement, the chief directress being Mrs. M. E. M, Finley, Donations of monev, fuel, clothing, mater rial lor clothing, provisions; &c., may he sent to the Home, located as above stated. . .. . : The ladles’'Aid Society of Fhiladclpliiai This: society was organized in April, 1801, under the auspices of a number of patriotically,inclined ladles. It was the first association started in Phila delphia for the relief of oiir sbldiers.l .The origina tors, from different religious denominations, assem bled every day in the week at tho rooms, Twelfth and Walnut streets, to make up and 1 forward clothing lor- the' Union volunteers. ‘ Mrs. Judge Jones was elected President; andyvirs. John Harris,’ Secretary. This last-named Brave and. patriotic lady passed considerable of hor time with the army, and with her own hands distributed tbe products of the joint labor of the members of the society. - The operations of the organization soon became much larger than was intended. Contributions began to pouf in from all parte of Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Delaware, and the Eastern States.’ The labor of Mrs. Harris was attended with, suoh good'results, that the Governor afforded her overyfacility, pro viding for her. use -two ambulances, an attendant, and granted her a free pass to all parts of the Union 1 lines. The ladles-still meet on every Friday for .work at. their rooms, Twelfth and Walnut streets. During the remainder of the weak, stores are sent to the care of Mi. J. PJfthoads, 701 Walnut street.; Thowork of these ladles is one of .patriouo.benevo lence. Any money they receive is appropriated'to’ tho purchase of such things as are moat needed. Mrs.,Harris has sent from the many fields of labor eloquent, graphic and interesting letters. ■ Soribtrn Assocjntioii ror tho Belief anA Employment of Women. This association has been organized for over twenty years. It was' Incorporated In tho year 185@, and is considered as one of. the most excellent charities in Philadelphia. Its main object is to.give relief to poor and deserving women or the city-and county of Philadelphia', by securing for them proper’ employment and compensation therefor. The, amount of Work during.the year may be 'estimated: from the data furnished-in the last annual report,- The number of garments made were 703 ; skirts quilted; 31; comfortables, 34 ; bed-quilts, 46., Ol! carpet rags 167 poundswere cut, 17 pounds of wool 1 oarded, one oradle-quilt quilted, and five pair of mittens knit. Since the society was established hundreds of. aged and Infirm'women have been em-’ ployed, who could not have obtained a livelihood elsewhere. The funds are light; and any donation to be appropriated to the uses of the society will be thankfully received. Mrs. Lumetia Mott Is the president. ■ . ■ Orphans’ Home and Asylum for the Aged and Infirm of the Lutheran Clmrcli. V. ■ . " This Home Is located at Germantown. It was es tablished ih the month of March, in the year 1859. The institution is.yet in the days of its infancy, and struggling against many wants and difficulties. All fatherless and motherless children are sheltered at this Home. Its operations are not confined sim ply to the Lutherans.’ All orphans are ombraced here in the arms of core and affection; therefore the institution appeals at once to all persons for sym pathy and aid. The: children are educated so as to ' become good anduseful citizens. Those of deceased ministers of the Gospel, though the mothers may he alive, ore received here. At the present time, daughters of soldiers now fighting for the Union ♦find all the comforts of home beneath this roof.: There are 'fifty, eight children in the Home. It is suggested that the institution, as now organized, appeals to patriotic as well as Christian henevo . leuce for the means of support.. H. Wendt is the superintendent of the Home, who will fie glad to ropond to inquiries respecting the establishment. Penns’ Widows’ Asylum ef BeMslngton. This institution is located on Boigrade street, above Otis, in the Eighteenth Ward, formerly Ken sington. It is in the eleventh year of its age. The family of aged and infirm persons Is, under a hind Providence, still kept together. The inmates num ber about forty persons of different religious ;seets. As a general-tiling they are individuals who had “seen better days.” , Among them is the nurse of General Meade. The managers regret the evil con sequences of the present rebellion; against the con stituted authoritlesuf the country, because, among other things, the very just sympathy for our sol diers has, to some extent, dried up many chan nels through which support flowed lor the benefit of the institution. The managers are very hopeful and the inmates are kindly cared for and comforta ble, and thankful for their piain and humble apart ments. Sirs. M.B. Stockham is the president of this worthy institution.' Individuals who have any surplus revenue may contribute tho same to this establishment. In a eity like Philadelphia,- It is certainly unnecessary, to enter into any elaborate appeal for the widow. ' . , -FMlafleljiliia Society Tor (lie Employ ment and Instruction or the Poor. g~ This;organization.was started nearly eighteen years ago, since which time an incalculable amount of good ha's been done ,by it. The building is lo cated on Catharine street, above Seventh.: It has been popularly known in the southern ‘ section of the city as the House; of Industry. la the'winter seasons, since the establishment opened, the house at times has been crowded with po.gr, homeless, hun gry, and ragged outcasts of society." 'The place Is supplied with bathing and washing rooms, which are open during the year, hot and cold water being at sll times on hand. The number of inmatßs dur ing the, year have-averaged nearly two thousand. The inmates wore male and female, about equal number j but since the -Introduction of sewing machines, and fairer remuneration for female labor, the number of the latter'has dwindled to hundreds, while that of the male portion has in creased to thousands. Thousands of quarts of soup are given out at the most inclement seasons of the year. Attached to this institution is a dispensary, In which as high as bighf thousand prescriptions have been compounded during a single year. Up wards of fifty ladies and gentlemen manage the in stitution with care and economy. It. is chiefly sup ported by voluntary contributions in money, fuel, clothing, and provisions. Baring the past year or two many a'colored refugee was assisted by this great soci ety. Nodistinctionis made in regard-to color. Mi serable, whisky, soaked,'trembling mortals, black or white, male or female, often apply here for food. They axe always-met with kindness, and in some iff stances moral reformation has taken place among the Inebriates. It is a most excellent institution, deserving of any amount of sympathetic considera tion. There are several schools for mental as well as physical improvement under the direction of the managers of the society. Relief or JMsatoledi Firemen. The Philadelphia Association for the Relief of Disabled Firemen was established in November, in the year 1834, and incorporated ,in the year 1835. The object of this association is to afford pecuniary relief to disabled firemen, their widows and orphans, and the relief of persons, not firemen, who may have sustained personal Injury by fire apparatus. The government of the society is vested in a-board of twenty-one trustees, elected annually. Wo had ex pected to have given some idea of the workings of the association for the current year, but wore un able to obtain the requisite information. Daring the last year the amount of *994.73 was expended for the benefit of sick and disabled firemen, widows* and orphans, and persons injured by fire apparatus. The total amount expended since the time of insti ‘ tntion was f52.588.2e, The number of mambers is 746, of which 255 are for life, and 491 annual. The voluntary contributions have fallen off within the past two years, which may be attributed to the con stant and heavy drafts upon the purses of our oitl tens to supply the wantsof our soldiers in the field and hospital, and to relieve' their families at home. The claims of the association should not be entirely overlooked. Its capital stock, of about $30,000, is safely invested in bonds, mortgages, ground rents, Government, State, and city loans. The, Rosine Association. This association was incorporated, in 1848, by an act of the st'atb Legislature. The first-meeting relative to its formation was held, on March 20, 1847, In the lecture-room of the Museum Building, since destroyed by fire. The society was then formed for the reformation, employment, and instruction of females who had led immoral lives. The subject awakened ieelings of sympathy and the: liveliest interest wag-taken, and the Bosine Association became a fixeu institution in Philadelphia, It is a home (not a place of confinement) to all females who have stepped from the paths of virtue.* It cannot be too highly recommended to the attention and liberality of the.publio. The following beauti ful lines, conveying the idea 6f humanity as beiag the embodiment of the spirit of religion and the faith, that speaks by works, are adopted as the senti ment of the ladies who organized this association: .Abon Ben Adbem (may his tribe increase) Awoke one nil!lit Irom a sweet dream of peace, And saw {withtu the moonlight of his room, Making it rich, like lilies In Full bloom) i Anangel, writing in a book of gold, " Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold; . A nd to the presence in the room" he said; •‘What WliteEt tBOU?” The Ticion raised his head, And, wifh a smilin't: look of sweet accord, answered: “The names of thorn who love the Lord.” “Andisniineone?” satdAbon. *'Hay, not so,”. Bepiied the angel. Abon spoke more low, - * But cheerily still, and said; *‘ I bray thee, then, Write me as one who loves his fellow-men. ” The angel wrote and vanished. The next night It came again, with a great wakening light,, And showed the names whom love or God had blessed, And lo! Ben Adhem’s name led all the rest. The building is located on Germantown avenue, below Eisnig Sun lane. The president of the asso ciation is Harriet Claw. The house Is commodious and airy, and capable of accommodating more than are now domiciled within its walls. lire Swiss Benevolent Society. The hoard of directors of this, society, of which the Hon. li. Koradi, the Swiss consul, Is president, has r ecently made an appeal for assistance. The Object of this organization is to relieve the necessi ties of distressed persons and families born in Switz erland and living in Philadelphia, or the State of Pennsylvania. Though the society receives an an nual contribution from the Swiss Government, its means are limited. There are large numbers of Swiss, born, as they wore, under a form of free go vernment like that of America, who have taken up arms in favor of the United states, thuß ~ showing their devotion to their adopted home. Many of these brave men have left wives, mothers, sisters, children behind, who are entitled to a large share of American sympathy. The city is divided into districts, and each director of the society has charge of one of them. It is his duty to visit persons re quiring assistance whether application has been made or not, and If they find worthy persons, assist ance is tendered them in proportion to the ne-, cesslties of the case, and to the meanß of the so ciety, or by procuring work for them. Of all the foreigners who arrive In this city, the Swiss stand very high, and American appreciation of them could not be better attested than in the shape of ma terial aid.to the society. Mr. President Koradi may be addressed at Fourth and Wood streets. West I’liilfulelphia Children's Home. This institution is located at Venango and Forty first streets, in the Twenty-fourth ward. This society is supported by voluntary contributions. Its objectls to provide a home, food, clothing, and schooling for destitute or friendless, children, with or without charge, and, at a suitable ago, to place them with respectable families to learn some useful • trade or occupation, a moderate sum. per weak is. charged for those children whose parents or friends are in circumstances which enable them to pay for their support; a reduction is : made to those who are very poor.and struggling to gain a livelihood, and, in some oases, children homeless and destitute are taken charge of and supported gratuitously. The usefulness of the Home is apparent at the present time. Many ofthe soldiers have left 'behind them children; some of whom are motherless. For this class comfortable shelter with means of subsistence * and instruction Is provided, and the hearts of the fathers are comforted: by the reflection that their children are weil oared.for. The last annual report of the Home states that 20 Children were admitted during the previous yearr s .were provided with, homes, and 16 were taken away by their parents or friends, their circnmstatces having so improved i tha*- they felt able to 1 take * them under tU.?Lr care again.

The motives that prompted-, the organisation were two—first, .the idea that every ' Christian churob, as a body, ..should'provide an asylum for orphans, and children whose parentSj wore not in circumstances to educate, support, and, train • them nright; second, the necessity of a home where children would be taught all necessary, housework, and fitted to make their own living 1 in respectability. ; The Home proposes to train the. children religiously, physically,' and morally—boys: until 12 years old and girls until 16 years—then to* find suitable places for them,' and to keep a watch ful care over all until they-reach the age of 18 years, The Right Rev. Bishop of the diocese “is the presi dent of the Home. Though the finances were low at periods, yet the year has never been closed la debt. The building and ground are all paid for; An appeal is made to the ptibllc for liberal support. -The ac commodation of the Home Is for fifty children.

The S-ocust* street ; Sl issiim Association. This association differs somewhat from tho others we have* already noticed ; but. it is meritorious, and certainly deserves public attention. The association is [entirely [under the control of, and conducted in accordance with the views and practices of the religious. Society of Friends.' It has for its object the poorer—perhaps the poorest—classes of the com munity, in religion and morals, and -whilst this is the primary consideration, temporal Interests are • not altogether neglected, A very large portion of the attendants at the school under the management of the association are Italians, or of Italian descent, . and of this nationality a considerable, number are ' boys,” actively engaged in the business of boot ■blaekitg. The other pupils, although perhaps aometfhat more elevated in the social scale, still .Claim the temporalas wall as tho spiritual aid be stoyjedj upon their less-favoredi.oompanlons. The Mission has been in operation for the last four or i five years. The numbers have steadily increased; : bo much' bo, Indeed, that the building formerly oc cupied has become too small-for the size of the , Bchool. During the present year, under tho direc tion, of the' board of managers, a substantial and commodious one-story brick building was erected on Locust street, east of Ninth, where, with the en larged accommodations and facilities, a wider soiiere of usefulness, it is hoped, is opening for the school, The fabove brief notice exhibits the general design In the establishment of the Mission. The school is helC during the afternoon of the first day of every week-, commonly called Sunday. The exerclses as a general thing are similar in character to those of other Sabbath schools. The.sessions occupy about one hour and a half. The moral and religious In struction-given at this'school mu3t necessarily in the course of time meet with duo reward. The Mercantile Beneficial Association - and tlie Mcrchimts’ Fund. The Mercantile Beneficial Association was orga nized for the promotion of friendship and brotherly affection among its members, the distribution, un der proper regulations,.of pecuniary aid to suoh of . them as may at any. time stand in need of it, the pleasant Interchange of kind feelings and views be tween'the older and the younger members,'whether as merchants or clerks, employers or employed, and the incidental elevation, of the mercantile character Of the city and State, This very useful association was fully incorporated by an act of the State Legis tufe, in the- year 1844. William O. Ludwig, Esq,, is the president. He has occupied this position for a number.of yoars. It numbers among its members tbeae'Sdlng'inerohants -of Philadelphia, those who give character and tone to our city Tor benevolence, charity, and enterprise; whose loyalty to thecoun try has been manifoßted; In various ways; who never 'failed •'•tep give freely in .defence-of the hohor and supremacy of the Constitution and the glorious flag of the Union. The report of the association before us year almost past hast has been one of stirring events. - The pub lic mind has been excited to its utmost tension A civil war* such as the world has never known be fore, has not only spread desolation and misery over a large portion of this once united and prosperous land, but has more or less affected every department of trade. With prices fluctuating, exchange unset tled; and gold no longer a currency, no one has been able to compute the results of his labor, or to esti mate for a single day the value of his property. And yet there never was a: period in tho history of the world in which so much has been freely given by tho people In aid of charity as in the last three years. The enormous Sums raised by the different sanitary commissions In the loyal States aro entire ly unprecedented. The Individual contributions for the-enlistment of the’army amount to as much as, a few years ago. wonld have paid the national debt. The vast amount of stores, of clothing, and wealth of every description which has been dedicated by young and old, rich and poor, to tie relief and nour ishment of the sick and wounded in our military hospitals, can scarcely be estimated. Alongside of such munificent benevolence the small annual subscription to the society appears tri fling and- insignificant, It stands as a unit among thousands—a glimmering light paling before a gor geous sun. Yet Still the usefulness and importance of our association should not be underrated on that account. This is the spirit of the gentlemen who form the “ base of operation” of this worthy institution. ' We might, in this place, Introduce another asso ciation known as.: , . . THE SEEHCHAHTS’. PUK'D, as this may.be considered one of the main branches that-.ba-ve grownout from the parental stem. This fund C-ls appropriated to the benefit of very aged merchants, who in former years characterized their dealings with honor and honesty, but who, through misfortune, were reduced in circumstances. Such men are the poor indeed when, financial calamity crushes them. The association is governed by the principles of true, noble charity. It Is silent. Since the,time of organization the sum of $20,000 has been expended In accordance with the rules of the asso ciation. ■ : . •- •; - ®t. Vineent’s Home Tor Bostitnie Infants and Foundling's. The object of this institution is the reception and nurture of destitute Infants and foundlings. The Kt; Bev. Bishop of Philadelphia and four gentle men constitute the .hoard of managers. The direc tion and government of the children are confided to six Sisters of Charity, who minister to the numerous wants of the little ones confided to their care. For several years the Home was in charge of a matron, but in the yearlBsB It was placed under the management of the Sisters of Charity. At that time the Home was on Freedlander street, near the Blind Asylum. After the lapse of a few years the house was found to be too small, and a building was erected on the corner of Eighteenth and Wood .streets. In a short time even this was found Insuffi cient, and in 1863 the southern whig was begun and completed. :... This addition enabled the Sisters to receive more children, and gave more ample accommodation for their comfort. It has-been an establlsheifrule witk them never to reject a single application for admis sion, if they had the room. Since they have had charge of the Home, they have received each year about eighty-five children, and the total number cared for. during the last nine years has been nearly eight hundred. Of these there jere fifty eight foundlings ; poor, helpless infants, abandoned by their unnatural parents. • After the children attain the age of five or Six years, the Sisters provide for their future wel fare. Soma are returned to their parents; others adopted by some charitable persons, and the re mainder placed in St. John’s Male Orphan Asy lum, or St. Joseph’s Female Orphan Asylum. At the present time there are forty boys in St. John’s, and twenty-one girls In St. Joseph’s, There are now in the Home ninety children, and of these twenty-two are the children of soldiers in the army. We never witnessed a more interesting and feeling sight than this family of little ones assembled to gether. There was not a. case of sickness among them when we visited the Home, and evervwhere we wore attracted by the order and neatness of the : place. St. Vincent’s Home should he larger than It Is. A building has been recently erected for a wash : house, and a large addition made to the south side of the principal hduse, making the Home much more capacious. Bnt oven with these additions, it is not large enough to receive all who apply for ad mission. It is in contemplation to erect at some future day another wing on the north side, and to raise the middle building one story higher. We have been informed that the debt on the Home is about $15,000. The revenues are very meagre. The City Councils made an appropriation some time since oi $l,OOO for tho'maintenance ofthe children; but the reduction of the debt, and the principal support of the children, will mainly do pend upon the kind charity of those who are blessed with an* abundance of this world’s goods. Very, few of the children are paid lbr, and. even when they are paid for, the small pittance of fifty cents or oho dollar per week, which Is charged, Is of ‘ Itself Insufflcint for their support. We recommend St. Vincent’s Home to the cha ritable patronage of our readers, especially at this time, when the hearts and faces ofthe little orphans cam be made glad by their offerings. Visit the Home and see Its Inmates, and your hearts and purses will open voluntarily. Sister Alary J oseph * is the superioress of this most worthy and charitable home lor destitute children. / Fbilailelptila Orphan Society-!) This great Institution Is among the oldest chari ties in this city. It was founded on the 20th of De cember, 1814, since w hich time it has been in suc cessful operation. It is located at Cherry and Eighteenth street. There are received into the asylum, which is large, the orphan children or mar ried parents, hoys under six years,; and the girls under 8 years, . The Institution has never refused an application for the admission of a healthy or phan of the proper age, while it has admitted many ’above it. The interesting family of orphans ave rages about one hundred members, the majority of whom are boys. They are maintained: and edu cated until they are twelve years old, when they are indentured to respectable householders and tradesmen. The good health of this large family is very remarkable, only two deaths having occurred among the children during the past nine years. For a .IGEg, period the income of the society, derived from many liberal bequests and donations, has been sufficient for the support of the institution, but the : recent rise in the prices of provisions and clothing bas so increased theexpenses that its managers are obliged to appeal to the .friends of the institution for aid, by having it onoo more placed an the list •’of their charities; The claims of the society, from the extensive good it has been the means oi eiftet- log, are so.well known to the community that this fact has only to be announced in order to insure a liberal response. . .Contributions In aid of this inte resting and important charity may be forwarded to any or the managers. During the past'three or four years so eventful to our country, fifty of the young mon roarod. in Jthe. asylum dntered its ser vice as volunteers in different regiments. Of all of these the managers-have received good reports. Three have fallen In battle, dying heroic deaths, and several, others have been wounded. 'One was promoted to a lieutenancy as a reward for his faith ful services. The frequent letters of these young soldiers to the -matron and'other members of the houshold excite great Interest in the family, and prove their attachment to their early homo.

Hundreds of thousands of our brave. volunteers have been fed .beneath tho hospitable , robf-of tho' old Cooper-Shop, and tbe place has often been the subject of ■ sentiment and ’song. From this organization sprang the Soldiers’' Home, located at the corner of Crown and .Race streets'. - The committee also procured a fine lot in the Mount Moriah' Cemetery for- the decent and Christian burial of'deceased soldiers.

The Government had hot yet been' able- to' obtain hospitals for the accommodation of the helpless jam who had gone forth to battle or to die, that the country might live. The hearts of, a number of men beating with one common impulse, that of patriotic humanity, speedily led to- the erection of a large building on the vacant lot at Broad and Prime streets, opposite the Baltimore depot. It is supported by voluntary contributions. Many thousand soldiers have been fed and medically and surgically treated here, ; while in transit from the battlefields, to some or all of the military hospitals which have since been erected within the city of Philadelphia. ;.Donations, from the patriotic benevolont citizens of this city or elsewhere will be thankljjlly reoeived by the board of managers. The Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, This society was organized about thirty yearn since. The society meets once a year. Most of its operations are through an executive committee, of which James Mott, of-Phtladelphla, is chairman. He is also president of the society. Its object is the total, immediate, and unconditional abolition of slavery. This it demands on the ground that abo lition is the.rlght of the slave and the duty of the master. Its measures are appeals to the conscience and understanding of the ' nation. Numerically, It -issmall:-.lts strength is in its .position,;belieylng that, with the right, “ one shall chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight.” It has had, and has how abut little money means, but what It has being wisely applied, has aided In impressing the people with a true estimate of liberty. The cause of abolition has become so popular as to leave less for this society to do, but it has still thiswarn- Ing to announce to the people—only in abolition can there be peace, only in justice to all-men as men, without regard to their complexion, can there be pros '.parity: The following-are :tho officers: President, .fames Mott ; corresponding secretary, J.

St. Jeseph’s Hospital. ■. This institution is under the charge of; the Sisters iOf Charity, Mother St. Hilary superioress. It is located on Girard avenue, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets/and is one of the largest hos pitals under the charge of these ladles in the State. It Js-.conduetbd similarly to .the Penn' Hospital, serving the same purposes for the northora part or the city that the Penn does to the lower. The capacity of the building is at all times tested to Its utmost capacity-' About.four years ago the building was largely Increased in size, and since then all its beds have been decupled. Since the war broke out the Sisters have surrendered tho building to the use of the Government whenever 'lt was desired,: and when there were not hospital accommodations in the army hospitals. The management of the hospital is a theme of praise on the lips of all who have re ceived aid or assistance In it. I'lic Children's Hospital This hospital is located on Blight street, running between Pino and Lombard, east of Bread. In a quiet way, this institution renders inestimable ser vice from year to year. The design of the hospital is distinct and clear, that of a hospital for stdall children, and not a dispensary for children’s dis eases. Like many other institutions of its kind, it is much embarrassed for want of funds. The ex pense of maintaining it is about $3,000 per annum, and about 100 children are admitted yearly to the benefits of the hospital. This hospital has dona; and is still doing much good, which will entitle It soon to be ranked among the most popular and suc cessful of charitable institutions. The President of the Board of Managers is Geo. W, \Nqrris, M. D.; Vice President, Geo. A. Wood ; Treasurer, Mor ton P. Henry; Secretary, Jco. H. Atwood.. The Philadelphia IJlspensary. This institution is: the oldest dispensary in the United States. It was established in 1786, and was then located in Strawberry street. In ISOI, the Dis pensary was removed to the building which,it now occupies, in Fifth street-holow Library street. It is not properly a public Institution, and has never solicited or accepted assistance from the public funds. Having been endowed several years ago by liberal minded men, it has since been entirely self supporting, The object- of this dispensary is to afford relief to the better class of poor ; that is, to those who, although unable to pay a physician when sick, are, yet hot in want of the common necessaries of life. All who are in such need aie properly the subjects of relief from the guardians ot the poor. The limits within which the Philadelphia Dispensary dispenses its charity are those of the old city proper, and that In these bounce it finds ample scope for its benevolence is easily shown by the good work which it accom plish! d during the year ending the first of this month. In this time 8,852 patients were treatedin the house, and 1,600 were visited at their homes by the district physicians. More than 100 women were attended during confinement; overTOO cases of dis eases peculiar to women were treated at the Dis pensary’s obEt'etricrooms.No. 1215 Cloverstreet, and 4,800 teeth were extracted wlthoutcharge. To meet these various cases upwards of 29,500 prescritlons were compounded and furnished gratis. Cases of accidents occurring in the neighborhood are fre quently brought to this institution for treatment, and during the political riot on Chestnut street, iu the late campaign, eight or ten wounds were dressed here. All cases are treated on the most economical principles, no costly medicines being prescribed where cheaper ones will answer the same purpose. "When the society was first organized, its physicians alternated with each'other In their days of attend ance upon the sick, but as the business of the insti tution increased it was found better to employ a re sident physician, with assistants to attend alf oases at the PJfipensary, and *to have others attended in their homes by vißitlng physicians. This system is now In operation. The payment of five dollars par annum entitles a person to the privilege of a contri butor. A donation of fifty dollars at one time coa stltntes the giver a life contributor. The officers of the Institution are: President, Wm. F. Griffiths; secretary,'Dr. Caspar Wistar; and resident: physi cian, Edward Marls, M. D. Tbe Southern Dispensary was instituted in 1816, and was originally located on Shippemstreet, above Third, but, in consequence of the widening of the street for the purpose oi erect ing a market house, the building was removed, and the business conducted for several years in a pri vate establishment, when, the funds of the Institu tion having increased sufficient to justify the mea sure, a substantial brown stone buildlngwas erected on the same lot of ground, the whole expense of which has been fully paid, leaving no incumbrance whatever on the property except a small irre decmable ground rent of $20.53 per annum. The principal object of the institution Is to afford medical relief to the poor in those oases where re moval to a public hospital would, for any approved reason, be ineligible. The district to which Its ac tion is confined extends from the Delaware river to Fifth street, and from South street to, the southern boundary of the late district of Southwark. The patients who are the objects of the care of this dis pensary are such indigent persons as are unable to procure medical assistance, and yet who are not so needy as to he the charge of the guardians of the poor. All cases of disease are treated at the house by the resident physician and his assistant, or else where by the district physicians. A contribution of $3 per annum, or $3O in an entire sum, entities the contributor to the rights of membership, and. every such contributor is entitled to have under the care •of the dispensary two ordinary patients at the same time. The officers of the institution are: President, Jas. iOarstairs; secretary, Peter Williamson; resl dent physiolan, Wm. Hotson, M. D. ' * ■ The Charity Hospital is situated on Buttonwood street, below Broad, and was opened for the reception of patients nearly seven years ago, by a lew inedioal gentleman who, at that time, held entire control of the institution.. Unaided they supported it, until a hoard of ladles came to their assistance, and, considering the small number of contributors, it succeeded quite well for more than a year. The hospital was then charter ed, and a board of trustees selected by the contrlbu-. tors. The oommencemont of war, and the conse-' quent exoitement, called forth tho sympathy of all, and led to, more activity in the institution. For many moffths the medical board has been obliged— as at the opening of tho hospital—to perform the ; double duty of preßorihlng for the patient and also oi attending to the financial department. They are willing to continue their efforts with renewed ener ay if they are only assisted by the charitable in their good work. The hospital was established and con tinues upon a broad basis. Free from sect or politi cal influence, its doors are open to all ; here the needy can recruit their failing strength, and receive all the benefit that good nursing and medioal at tendance can afford.. • The building which 1 is occupied by the institution Is leased gratuitously by the liberality'of City Coun cils. The active labors of the hospital during tho past year have been under charge of ten physicians, and nine departments or specialties have baon or ganized. The surgical department has requited tbe care and attention of two surgeons; Each of the other departments or specialties have required the'services of. a single physician; Those depart-' meets have all.been completely organized, and the physician in charge has held, two weekly clinics, which have been largely attended. The total num ber of patients prescribed for at those clinics during EOTTK CENTS. the year hasbeenone thousand three hundred and flity-seven. In addition to the medical board thus organized, the hospital Is provided with a skilful resident physician, and an attentive matron. 1 Tho hospital has been kept la existence thus far by annual donations of money and goods, and is now Jn need of further assistance. :A. few hundred dollars yearly will enable the society to oontinaa Its operations, and this should be eheeriiilly; con tributed by tho .charitable of the neighborhood to wmcnits opcrattons. are extended.- The society Is without any permanent -or 'certain source of in come upon ..which it can -rely, and, therefore, it is obliged to depend for support ’ upon annual do nations. The limited character of Its resources compels a small charge for board to those admitted -within the hospital, nut It is hoped that the con tributions for ,tne: coming year will be so ample as to make this charge unnecessary. The president or the society is George Nugent, and the officers of the medical board-are: Tlr.H.St.Clair Ash, president; secretary, Dr. O. S- Boxer; and resident physician, Dr. W.

Tlie Pcniisylvatila -Seamen’s Friend So ' . ciety. . ‘This'scciety was established in the year 18*5, and ’lt ! has ever' since been actively engaged In promo ting the temporal and spiritual interests of sailors. Since its establishment its means of usefulness have increased in a rapid’ ratio, and every sign Indicates a more speedy Increase In the future. It is- worthy of record here that in proportion as the society has enlarged its operations to meet openings of useful ness, the’ funds have been promptly , furnished to meet the Increased’demand. The Bea is a school in which many axe trained to carry on purposes for goodor for evil on a large soale. In many instances it is the only training ever received by many. 1 Tho society aims to make the training of these men much of the soft they would be likely to receive in Ghristlan lands and amongst a Christian people. Of late years the attention of the society has been called to the necessity of supplying Government vessels with good books. After entering upon this duty the number of vessels in the Government em ploy increased so rapidly as to require all the ef forts or the society to keep tho vessels supplied with books. By a liberal benevolence the so ciety has furnished every Government war ves sel and transport which has left, this 'port 'with a bdoksMe' .’filledi with bdokS--of a re- ligious and instructive Character,. -The society; now supplles ’every Government vessel and mer-; chantman leaving this port with a collection of selected religious books. The , object - commends itself. The good already done and to’ he done is -incalculable. The operation is simple , and eCono-i mleal. No expanse attends the work after the first cost Of 'the' books and case, except In placing them on board the vessel and- exchanging them for other 1 books when read through by the crew. - In the, year 1846 the society purchased a property (now No. 422) on South Front street, to be used as a Bailors’ home. The original. cost of the. Home was $lO,OOO. The sum of $5,357 has since been expended on it. the house having recently been entirely reiur niehed and repaired. The house Is substantial and commodious, and the Improvements which have been made render it a desirable temporary abode forsailors. It will accommodate one hundred. The rooms are all well furnished, and a good library is provided for the use of those who may make, the place their home. The house is conducted on reli gious .principles. Divine-servioe is held there weekly. - Since Its establishment nearly 16,000 ma riners have shared Itsjprlvileges. Eternity alone will fully reveal the moral and religious results. ' The society, In addition, aims to promote the phy sical comfort of the sailor. When they arrive from ■ sea their clothes and chests are taken care of, and their hard earnings are placed In safe keeping. Many have friends or families living in other parts of the country, and wish to send their savings to them. This is done for them, and the money, which otherwise would be swallowed up In the diinking houses and dens of infamy that infest their path, carries comfort and" support to the absent wife or -helpless mother. As an evidence of the good that has been done In this way alone, the superintendent reports that nearly $lOO,OOO have been placed in his hands during the seven years that ho has had charge of the Home. Mueh of this has been spsnt, of course, by the men themselves, but still a large sum: Is remitted to their homes. ; , The number of seamen accommodated during the year past, was 1 ; 276,.0f whom 60 were, east-away sailors. These latter were received into the !< Home” In a destitute condition, and were maintained until placed in a position to support themselves. With an object of forwarding.the purposes of the association two prize essays have been.pablished by the association in book form lor distribution amongst the benevolent; their titles being “ Commerce and Christianity,” by Rev. Hollis Read, and ‘'’The Moral Rower of the Sea,” by William Aikman. The officers of the association' are: President, Arthur G-. Coffin. Vice Presidents, Revs. Albert Barnes, Wm, Bacon Stevens,D.

SOth, 1796, to celebrate the anniversary of St. Andrew. A resolution was offered and adopted to form a society for mutual relief when In distress, and for the relief of Soots emigrants to this country. • The society, being regularly organized, held its first quarterly’ meeting |>n the oth of March, 1797, and obtained a charter from the State In March, 1799. During the prevalence of the yellowfever, In the summer of 1798, fourteen members died, among whom were Adam Davie, its first president.- A 1 number of members likewise left the city, on account of the fever, and did not return. ; , ; - “-Under these circumstances, it will readily bo sup posed, the society had many difficulties to Btruggie with. The quart erly payments of the remaining ; effective members were found Inadequate to meet the-demands. To remedy this, voluntary contributions- were made. Gratefully considering their preservation from the pestilence to which so many had fallen victims, the members cheerfully contributed their quota ; every demand on the so ciety was faithfully met; the widows and children -of their’deeeased associates were duly remembered; and assistance given to, deserving objects, though unconnected with the society. The sums raised •were not large, but, with the blessing of Providence, theywere made instrumental-in-preserving the ex istence of the society, and. giving'relief to the dis tressed. ■ T ■ " ' ; Atter this, the society gradually assumed a more flourishing aspect. Its exertions were known, and its respectability Increased. New members were added, and the funds augmented. However, It met with another disaster in 1808, by the destructive fire in Dock street, where its desk, charter, seal, &e,, &c.y were destroyed. Still It progressed; and in a short time nearly all the articles burnt were re placed. In 1810 the sum of $3,000 was received from the estate of John Kcble, Esq., deceased; and in March, 1880, $250 from the estate of Alexander Mac kenzie, Esq., deceased, which enabled it to extend its charity more generally. To those unacquainted with the matter, it may be proper to mention that the society gives relief to its own members when in distress, assists Scottish emi grants, gives a monthly aliment to widows of mem bers, procures medical assistance for those who are unable to procure it for themselves, whether mem bers or not, and, in short, as far as the means al low, extends Its assistance to every deserving ob ject. In 1829 lots In the Philadelphia Cemetery were purchased for the purpose of decently Inter ring indigent natives of Scotland and their descend ants. The result has been highly satisfactory, l&The following are the officers: President—William Gray. Yioe President -Andrew Eoudcn. Treasurer—Thomas Duncan. Secretary—Robert C. Gibson. , Councillors—James Johnston, Wm. Robb, Wm. J. Young, James H. Gunn, Robert H. Pinkerton. The Sanitary Commissions. The United States and Christian Commissions have long since become world-renowned as patri otic benevolent institutions. The work of these or ganizations is on the wholesale order. The good that has been done, and is still doing by them, Is so .entirely Immense as to be-beyond human calcula tion. But for tho activity of the Commissions thou sands of the brave men who nobly stepped forth to defend the homes and liberties of the great mass of population' in the North, East, and West would have perished. Steam-tugs, rail road cars, wagons, and ambulances have been In constant requisition, in effecting the holy object which the many ladies and gentlemen com posing the organizations have imposed upon them selves for the love of the good old flag. Onr limited space precludes the possibility of entering into an extended dissertation sucb as the commissions merit. Periodically, however, the managers publish an ac, count of their doings, which contains all’naedfal in formation to all who feel an interest in the Subject- While the war lasts the commissions will, of course, have their hands full of work. Contributi ns from the patriotic should continue until the rebels lay down their arms, and the dove of peace spreads its wings over the country. ~ ’ The Hebrew Societies The Jewish Foster Homs Sooieyy has been W existence Bince the yoar 1855, It was started by a few ladles of the Hebrew persuasion, who procured an act ol incorporation from the Legislature .of Pennsylvania. This society has now been in opera tion for upwards of nine years, and has in their Home, In Fifteenth street, above Master, (a building purchased by this society, with ample grounds at tached thereto lor thepurpose,) thirty-four ohltdren, besides bavtog placed In excellent situations several boys and girls reared in this institution. In their fast annual report the secretary states: “Itis no longer an experiment, this being the ninth anniver sary of the society .. The purpose Is high'and hSly— one in which wefeel we have a claim upon the sym pathies and purses of our friends in carrying out our object.” Mrs. Anna Allen is the president; HISS Rebecca- Gratz, vice president; Mrs. A. Finzl, treasurer, and Miss E. Bomsisler, secretary. The Hbbbbw Sbwot Society furnishes ready made garments of all kinds for needy and destitute females and children. It was established in 1842, by several unmarried ladles, who agreed to meet once a week to sow for the poor, and contribute both money and materials, ais well as to solicit aid from others in behalf of so laudable and charitable a so ciety. This undertakingresulted in the establishing of a sewing society on a permanent basis, and has, since 1822, distributed Its hundreds oi garments an nually to the poor, notwithstanding the immense advance in all kinds of materials for wearing appa rel, -The following are its officers for 1861: Miss Lonlsssß. Hart, president; Miss Esther Stork, viee president; Miss Eleanor Samuel, treasurer; Mlsb Slmha C.Felxotto, secretary. The TJhitbd Heurew Relief Association has been established about five years, for the pur pose of providing poor and deserving families weekly with the neoessaries of life ; also, furnishing sojourners with funds to enable them to reach their relatives in other cities. This charitable society distributes nearly $5,000 annually. It has a visiting board of twenty persons, and Is presided over by Mr. Joseph Einstein; its treasurer Is Mr. Solomon Teller, and Its secretary Mr. Michael Hasler. This society was established with the view of consoli dating all the various charitable Jewish societies In this city, making this a grand union benevolent Jewish society ,; but as yet this has not been accom plished. ■ ' - The Hebrew Fcel Society, of which Mr. David pegoa is tli© president, Mr. I. Binswunger fcreasa rer, and Mr. Lewis Raines secretary, has been es tablished for a long series of years, and distributes hundreds of tons of coal annually to . poor appli cants. It formerly supplied wood only, and. as evl-, denoeof the universal use of coal by the poor as a fuel, this society has not during the past year had a single application for wood. The expenditures of this society, the funds for which are obtained from contributions by.tbe Jewishcommuity, will exceed' that of any former year, in consequence of the gre at advance In the price of ooal, caused by the high wages of labor at the mines, and the Increased toils on the various railroads from the coal regions. The Hebrew Bksepicbht Socibty on RWfA UBI.PHI a Is one of the oldest of the Jewish charities. It was presided, over by Mr. Abraham L. Hart *2." upwards of .twenty years, assisted by the late j.
