Every part of the institution is deeply interesting; but there is a difference very remarkable between the boys and the girls.

The boys are, I think, the finest set of lads I ever saw brought together; bright looking, gay, active, and full of intelligence.

The girls are exactly in reverse; heavy, listless, indifferent, and melancholy.

In conversing with the gentleman who is the general superintendant of the establishment, I made the remark to him, and he told me, that the reality corresponded with the appearance.

All of them had been detected in some act of dishonesty; but the boys, when removed from the evil influence which had led them so to use their ingenuity, rose like a spring when a pressure is withdrawn; and feeling themselves once more safe from danger and from shame, hope and cheerfulness animated every countenance.
