Little Neta LEE of Vanceboro went up to the Oxford Orphan Asylum this morning. She is a bright little girl, and it locks heart rending for her to be taken from a kind mother and carried among strangers; but knowledge is power, and she may yet be a power in literary circles. This excellent institution for orphans is doing a work that should be embalmed in the affections of every lover of humanity.
