NEW YORK SAILOR'S HOME.
Among the various methods devised for
the moral improvement of seamen, the establishment of good boarding houses ranks
next in order after the preaching of the gospel. We present oar readers with a view
of the building, alanding 190 Cherry street,
New York, and called the " New Sailor's
Home." It was erected by the American
S. F. Society, and ia now under its direction. During last year it accommodated
more than 4000 boarders The social, moral, and religious influence of the institution
has, thus tar, been moat happy upon seamen
visiting that port. Long may ha doors be
