McSorley, then offered up a prayer, after which the children sang the Doxology and Sanctus The honorary secretary, Brother P. D. La Touche, said that it was the first occasion on which he had to announce that the income of the past year had been less than that of the preceding one. He regretted to say that a considerable portion of that diminution was in the contribution of small sums. He thought every one present would agree with him that the merits of the Masonic Female Orphan School entitled it to the support of every brother in the order, not only the £1 and £10 of the rich and affluent, but the shillings and the crowns of the poor and indigent he trusted the deficiency//

hiphotos571817 Ruins of the village of Billinghay, Lincolnshire, after the late fire, 1864. 'We give a View of the ruins of a part of the village of Billinghay, which was destroyed by fire on Friday, the 9th September. The fire, it seems, was caused by the sparks from a foul chimney falling upon the roof of a thatched hovel in a yard belonging to William Scott, wood-dealer. The wind at the time was blowing a gale from the west, and the burning straw was blown upon a thatched cottage belonging to Robert Newton, a carrier between Sleaford and Lincoln. This building was completely gutted, as well as the stable and carthouse, with other buildings. The flames extended across the road in an easterly direction and reached a row of cottages on the other side of the street. The Primitive Methodist Chapel was burnt, as well as nearly all the houses in the immediate neighbourhood of the fire. The loss will fall very heavily upon the sufferers, few of whom are insured; and, as they are generally of the poorer class, the result is//

'Amongst other ways of expressing his sympathy with this useful and laborious class of teachers in their work among our city poor, [Mr. Gurney] has, for the last seven years, given a fete every autumn to the voluntary teachers of each district of London. He has, in this manner, already entertained 2200 teachers from the 165 connected ragged schools now existing in London.

The building, originally costing £30,000, included a gym, woodwork and metalwork rooms, a domestic school for girls, and heated swimming-pool, four courts for playing fives, and enough full-sized football pitches to allow 150 boys to play at the same time. A farm of some 40 acres kept the school supplied with home produced meat, milk and poultry, and a vast kitchen garden gave a constant supply of fresh vegetables. All pupils received a practical education based on Christian principles. When they reached leaving age, they were given special training in the trade or profession for//

A man could do no good there, they said; so that everyone emigrated to America the moment he had the chance. Wages were 2s. [ie shillings] a day just at present; but a farm servant, engaged all the year round, only received 6s. a week; sometimes a cabin was thrown in; but this was rare. Beef they never tasted.

He has been accustomed now and then to seek them, with a police constable to aid him in those nooks and corners of the great city where they are apt to lie down and find the wretched shelter of the outcast Such a place is to be found beneath the Charing-cross railway station; and there, in the third hour after midnight, was enacted the subject of our Illustration.//

But it is expedient that there should be an Act of Parliament, if the Home Secretary has not already sufficient legal powers, to establish compulsory registration of the travelling gipsy families, and a strict licensing system, with constant police supervision, for their temporary encampments, while their children should be looked after by the local School Board.

' large numbers of the poor n*groes have lately sought refuge in Kansas, travelling long distances, in an almost destitute condition, to reach the land which bears a traditional fame of justice and mercy, and of inviolate freedom, secured to their oppressed race. Such a party of homeless wanderers, with their little children seated beside them, one girl reading her school New Testament, one baby playing with a toy-rattle, is represented at the top of the page. In the centre is a scene of the early gold-seeking operations on the "placers," or surface-diggings, of Colorado, where immense mineral riches of different species have been discovered Beneath this is the encampment of an emigrant farmer's household on their way across the vast level of the prairies, to occupy some remote location where frugal management and steady toil will gain them a rude but sufficient rustic livelihood, and with no rent to pay for the land they have to cultivate.
