The boy's the father of the man."

But we do not so much complain of boyish as of adult cruelties;

though, according to the above showing, such atrocities will be less

rare in the next than in the present generation. To conclude, we hope

that the present notice may awaken the sympathy of the reader towards

the laudable objects of the _Society_, under whose guidance the _Voice

of Humanity_ is published. It is a difficult matter to point out "the

uneducated," and writers of all grades are eternally babbling of

our high state of civilization and refinement, yet, we repeat,

the necessity of this association is an anomaly which amounts to a

national disgrace.
