    British Hospital. The conception of a more elegant and befitting memorial is scarcely possible. It is a living monument, ever productive of blessings. Looking at this handsome edifice, styled by tlie French the ‘‘ Chateau Wallace,” as you approach it from the Hue de Vilhers or from its own grounds, one immediately realizes the justice of the eulogium of Thomson on the art of the architect, and recog- nises it as in reality “ The art where most magnificent appears The little builder—Man.” To every hospital, I trust, in course of time there will be but one gate of entrance—disease and suffer- ing; and that those who are forced to be the recipients of charity, no matter whether their un- fortunate condition be the outcome of their own actions or misfortunes, will accept and enjoy it without the fear of humiliation.
