We are informed that some young ladies of this city to the number of fifteen have afforded a handsome specimen of their benevolence and generosity, in taking as many female children under their patronage, who are either orphans or whose parents are poor and unable to provide for their education- The children are sent to the same school, are provided with clothing to make them appear decent at church, and their tuition paid for by the young ladies.-Quere- would it not be a handsome thing, if as many young gentlemen would imitate the generosity of the ladies, and select from the walks of poverty, from the house of the widow and orphan, as many male children as would match the former, and send them to a man of good character whose pleasing task it is " to rear the tender thought and teach the young idea how to shoot."
N. B. It is said that some of the young gentlemen have likewise exhibited proofs of their generosity in the same way.
