NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE.—The greatest and
most useful invention of the day, AGUA AMAR E LL A.
Itiessrs. JOHN GOSNELL and CO., Red Bull Wharf, 93,
Upper Thames-street, Perfumers to her Majesty, respect-
fully offer to the public, this truly marvellous fluid, which
gradually restores the human hair to its pristine hue—no
matter at what age. The Agna Amarella has none of the
properties of dyes ; it, on the contrary, is beneficial to the
system, and when the hair is once restored one application
per month will keep it in perfect colour. Price one guinea per
bottle, or in half bottles, 10s. 61. Testimonials from artistes
of the highest order, and from individuals of undoubted re-
spectability, may be seen on application. Messrs. John
Gosnell and Co. have been appointed Perfumers to her Royal
Highness the Princess of Wales.

TILE RESCUE SOCIETY wishes to add another
home to the 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer
than 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected from
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in five years.
The new home the Committee wish to form would be for
young girls, almost children, from the age of 8 to 15, who
have been led astray from the path of virtue.
Contributions will be received gratefully by the Secretary,
Mr, Daniel Cooper, 85, Queen •street. Cheapside; or by Messrs
Barolav and Co.. Lombard-street.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR

HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass th©
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
%re, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf:
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBEItT D.D., No. 22,
Finsbury-circus,
