HOME CHARITIES.—Owing to the noble and
benevolent exertions made by the British Public during
the last few months to aid the Sick and Wounded in the War
now raging on the Continent, to relieve the French Peasants,
and the relatives and friends of those lost in H.M.S. Captain,
the. Funds of the following HOME CHARITIES have suffered
very materially, viz.:—
The Boys' Refuge, at 8, Great Queen-street, Holborn.
Bisley Farm School, Surrey.
Chichester Training Ship.
Girls' Refuge, 19, Broad-street, Bloomsbury.
Home for Little Girls, and Girls' Refuge, Ealing.
In these Institutions between 500 and 600 Boys and Girls are
educated, fed, clothed, and trained to earn their own living.
Besides the above work, upwards of 500 Ragged School
children are supplied with dinner once a week.
AN URGENT APPEAL is therefore made for HELP to pur-
chase FOOD and CLOTHING for these poor Children.
Conti ibutions will be thankfully received by the London and
Westminster Bank, 214, High Holborn, and 41, Lothbttry, City,
and by

THE COMIC PAPERS.
( From Pima.
Who should " despair of the Republic ?"—Spain, since
the crime with which her year was crowned.
APPROPRIATE.—When the King of Prussia becomes
Emperor of Germany, he will probably assume the title
of Pioas the First.

THE ABSENT GTTEST. —Britannia (to 1871) : "Delighted
to see you, my dear. But where's our friend Peace?"
New Year : 0, she's coming bye•and-by !" Britannia :
" Ah, we all hoped you'd have brought her with you !"

SEASONABLE READING. —Don't burn the newspapers
containing accounts of " The Weather and the Parks."
Keep them to refer to in the Dog-days, when they will be
cool and pleasant reading. The records of last summer's
drought might just now help—for all that Shakspeare
says—an imaginative person to get warm.
