the fervent special prayer to Almighty
God for her, the soldiers friend. Not half
her work was done on those distant Rus
sian plains-in a quiet, sels;.sacrifciug
spirit, she has toiled on ever since her re-
turn home, for the highest good of those
who now pray for her dear life. With
pen detailing the horrible statistics of the
Charuel-housc, and tougus Aui voice more
eloquent still, she plead with the Govern
mrnt TO correct the fr!gEtlnt nhnses that
had crept into the 0rn.v system Of Great
Britain, and, Mt least. to grant the rights OF
common humanity To the brave defenders
of the country. She has had her reward,

twenty minutes walk from us. We pass it
every time we go to the Strand, and some.
times don't pass, hut rather go in, to Won
der and admire afresh over rare and benu-
tilul pictures, objects of vertU from dis
tant India and the isles of the sea, curi-

nothing strikingly attractive in the build
ings, which suppose, are only temp0rdIy.
