'hlsing nature, rents a large estate on Wash
lhgton street, which was admirably fitted up
about two years ago, for an iafrmary for
$ ck children. Il is literally furnished with
Whatever is necessary for their personal COM

Of the institution gives to it a devoted attenl

not pulled up, and which vaunteth not itself.-
II seeks no great name upon a c~i circular, to give
it Importance, carries no contribution box into
The church, make no appeals to the pockets Of
the bencvolently disposed, nor in any way
seeks the applause Of men. Quietly, without
ostentation, without parade, but with a steady

nurses the sick, and takes care Of the helpless
little children? This is charity indeed, and
of which our favored city, aye, and the world
may beproun. 4
A London paper, after detailing the events
thatIed to the rising of the people in Berlin,
| gives he following account of the impressive
scene before the Palace when the King and
Queen were obliged to come forth to do honor
to the remains of the victims-the stern and
silent solemnity with which the whole affair
was conducted, shows the character and firm
determination of the entire population. A
similar spirit we are convinced, ~pervades every
other portion of the German people, and we
look forward, not only with undated, but
with increased confidence that the whole move
ment throughout all Germany, will be Conduc-
ted with order, undertaking frmness and de-
c%ision, and will result most favorably for the
establishment and success Of liberal princi-
Piles.
"The people fought like demons, and OPP
posed a most desperate and valiant assistance
to the troops. The pavements were torn up,
the troops cut down, and barbados raised as
if by magic. For fourteen hours the battle
ragged with undiminished fury. The soldiers
and the citizens lay in heaps together, crushed
by the fall of barbados, and weltering in
their blood; and although the troops were
eventually the %vietors, and occupied the W
till twelve O'Clock the next day the King Or
, derod them to retire to their barracks and not
to renew the conflict. Nearly 1000 human
beings were left dead in the streets of that
beautiful city; and awed by the grief which
was 80 universal, those who were left lifted up
the dead and placing them in wagons, proceed
3 ed in solemn silence to the palace Of the King
whom they desired to appear and see the awful
sight; their fathers, brothers and husbands
slain and bleeding. He complied with their
wishes, and uncovered reverently in the pres
ence ofthe dead. They desired that the Queen
should also come out, but the King, after have
ing gone to tell her, returned to say that : Her
Majesty was too i'll, too much alarmed and ag-
itated, to behold so dreadful a %scene;' but the
people said lit was fit she should behold IT, and
> the King returned into the palace, and after Q
= short time re-Oppeared, leading by the hand
v the Queen, who, pale and terror tricken, gazed
l. in silent awe on the multitude Of the living
and the dead. When she retired, the people
d seemed satisfied, and in the same unbroken
$ silence the huge column moved on to bury
e its dead. Fortunately for the King and his
people, there has been mutual forgiveness be-
= tween them, and the bitter past is merged in
y the hope of a glorious future. His Majesty
hasdlscarded the bloodstained white and black
g cockade Of Prussia, and now wears the old
G imperial colors in his helmet. The same Ger
