Every body agrees that our City Aims House
ught to be Workhouse, or that those who sub
sist on the charity of the public ought to be vii
ling, and required even il not willing, TO conul-
| uutc by their labor toward their own support, so
far as they have ability. Yet VIC apprchend ii
| failure TO secure the end in view from the very
TACT that public sentiment is so unanimous thai
TOO little attention is given TO the matter If the
object were not 50 palpably just, we should fee
greater assurance OF obtaining It,


We fear the Corporation will content Itself
| with some partial, shor-sightcd, inadequate, ten
porary resort. Thus we hear some small Island


IN the Sound-costly and difficult of access al
some seasons-spoken Of as the probable site OF
The new Aims House. This would be most un-


fortunate In our Judgment, the new establish
ment should be


l. Located ten to thirty miles from the City


Hal! on either the Harlem or Long Island Rail
-oad. as il shall appear that the best bargain can
&c made for land and permanently for the trans
,o.tatiun of each person sent thither:


ii. Abundoatiy provided with land, so that the
paupcrs may raise all their own vegetables, fruits,
rrain, &C. &c. and have room for raising alGl-
berries il it shall be found that the Silk Culture
may proiitably employ some labor which could
not otherwise DC made available. la other words,
the Aims House establishment should have not
less than square mile Of good land, or a thou
sand acres il only half be arabic. Let the whole
concern work for Itself 50 far as possible and con-
sumc It's own products. If It's industry is directed
10 two or three branches, il vii! excite speedy and
ius, complaint from those now engaged in those
branches.


Hi. Every effort should be made TO care the
disease OF PaupeFism III those afflicted with IT.
Ten hours faithful labor should be required o.
every one who is in full health and less or lighter
work of the feeble; and every exer'ion should be
made 10 teach the able-boded TO support them
selves. A great many are paupcrs because they
eerc brought u? for idle gentlemen and ladies',
aud have failed III that line of business. Let them
be taught good wholesome ways OF getting liv-
ing, and thoroughly weaned OF the genteel vices
of tipping and smoking, and they viii not long
permit the public to have any thing TO do with
their support To this end, the best and most
winning master workmen should be employed to
direct the several branches. More at another
time.
