ABSTRACT
HOD FOR ENGLISH CmLOREN IN PARIS.-In one of the quiet boulevards leading out of Paris, there has stood for ten years, in the midst of a pleasant garden, a house which has gone by the name of the British Hospital. But now this home of suffering has become a play place for happy children. By the generous liberality of lI. Galignani (who instituted the hospital), the house with all it contains has now been given over as a Home for Orphaned and Deserted Children to the Society represented by Miss Leigh, founder of the "Mission Home for Eng1i8hwomen," 77, Avenue Wagram. On Thursday, November 2nd, the ceremony of inauguration took place, and 27 children were transfened from the Mission Home, at Avenue Wagram, to their new abode. A large number of visitols were assembled in the syacious dining room of the house, and at a given signa the children ehtered singing, and bearing the British Flag. This was followed by a short service, in which the principal English clergymen of Paris, and other friends, took part; and the visitors went over the Home, and wel'e much pleased with its invitin~ and comfurtable appearance. The want of a Children s Home has long been felt, and could be abundantly proved by the history of some of the children present on this occasion. Two had been brought over from England to be sold as artists' models, others had been left in utter destitution by the death of their parents, while two had been found, but a few months ago, wandering deserted through the streets. M. Galignani has known well the need which he now seeks to relieve, and he has added to his most munificent gift an announcement that he intends to head the subscription list with £300.
