VISITING PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Slater bill, giving TO the Women's Prison
Association permission TO visit public institutions in
which women criminals held in custody. has
been finally defeated in the Assembly. This seems
the writer unfortunate The service which the
association has sought to- give ought be well
coined, refused.

jectionable. but how about three? And
these women We're likely TO be soberminded. People
don't go TO a hospital at O'Clock in the morning
for fun AS to the hour. when Will unfaithfu

they likely be seen. Faithful workers will
rejoice at such overlooking.

The loving knew how best to still
The infinite yearning OF a heart
Which but inflnity could I'LL.
Such sweet communion had been ours,

Ny prayer is more than answered; now
I have an angel for my friend
I wished for perfect peace to soothe
The troubled anguish Of her breast;
And numbered with the loved and called.
