jislI gentleman was travelling lately
in Belgium. His companions in u

officers and q tall. gaunt, middle
agesl female, dressed in rusty black
and holding on her lap large black
Tag. 1t was not long before the lag
was opened, and a great number of
religious tracts In the English Ian.
guage were produced. These were
handed by the rigid female tn the o!.
fcers, although it was obvious that
she could not speak one word of
French and that they could not un-
derstand one word Of English. The
very coarse and broad remarks. inter-
sperssd with ribald jokes, in which
the Belgian officers lndulyetl al this
proceeding, were very painful I" the
Englishis,an; and, actuatesl only hy
the kin(lest motives. and indeed with
q true feeling Of Christian charity. he
l,eggesl the female tract-llistriiutc
to suspend her laOOns in her present
cOnlpany, "a her intentions were mis-
understood and only excited ridicule.
