SARA.—You might obtain information about a home of rest near the
sea during vacation, at about 10s. weekly, if you applied to the
Governesses’ Benevolent Institution; secretary, Charles W. Klugh,
Esq., 32, Sackville-street, London, W. Inquire about a home of rest at
Ramsgate. We have heard of one there which might suit you. There is
also a home of rest at Sunninghill, Staines, about which inquire also.

OF GOD IN COMPANY. Ps. LV. 14.]
INQUISITIVE GIRL.—Your quotation is not correct. It is, “One touch
of nature makes the whole world kin,” which places the spectator
in sympathy with the actor, since we all have the same feelings,
weaknesses, and emotions, one as the other, in greater or less degrees.
If you saw a mother parting in great grief with a child, you, as a
mother, would experience a kindred feeling. 1. The great composer, Karl
Maria Baron von Weber, did not die in prison; he was found dead in his
bed when on a visit to Sir George Smart, who had entertained him during
his stay in England, June 3rd, 1826.
SYDNEY.—The Early English style in architecture dates from 1190 to
1245; the Perpendicular from 1360 to 1550. There are three varieties
under the name Romanesque, and four known as Gothic. The former
comprises the Saxon, Norman, and Transition; the latter comprises the
Early English, Geometrical, Decorated, and Perpendicular. All churches
subsequently built are true or debased imitations of these, excepting
in cases where Byzantine or Greek models have been adopted.
WINNIE.—An apology should be received graciously, and there should be
no reference thereafter made to the quarrel; but everything must depend
on the cause which produced it, so far as your future relations with
each other are concerned. The character of the offender might have
been exhibited in a new and unsatisfactory light, rendering confidence
misplaced and dangerous. Thus, your relations one with the other
might be very materially and wisely changed, notwithstanding the full
forgiveness accorded and the apology rendered.
EVELYN wants to know how to make the whites of her eyes white. They
become yellow in cases of jaundice, or bilious disturbance, and they
become red from a cold or blast in them, or from crying, over-work,
or intemperance in drink. She must be the best judge as to which of
these causes her yellow or red eyes owe their colour, and deal with the
trouble accordingly. If from a cold in the eye, hold it in an eggcup of
as hot water as can be borne without scalding, and this will force back
the red particles in the blood vessels, which should not be present in
the eyeballs. If Evelyn be a girl of colour, of course, the balls of
the eyes, that should be of a blue-white in white people, are naturally
yellow, and nothing will change it.
