The Hillsborough Recorder

An interesting spectacle was exhibited in N. York on Tuesday last week. On that day the Female Sunday School Society of that city celebrated their seventh anniversary. The procession of little girls, many of them doubtless rescued from ignorance and vice by this benevolent association, must have been a delightful spectacle to the philanthropic mind. About twenty five hundred were collected from the different parts of the city, and with the superintendents, committees and teachers (amounting to several hundreds more) walked through the principal streets to a church in Murray-st. where the annual reports were read, and certificates of improvement delivered, &c. This is the rich fruit of practical charity; and while we have such objects at home for the exercise of the first of virtues, we trust that some of the funds of wealth and feeling which have flowed so liberally in the missionary channel, will be diverted into a more sure, more patriotic, and more certainly productive reservoir, the education of poor orphans at home in the paths of knowledge and virtue.
