"S. P. G." Your first quotation is from one of Friedrich von Logau's 'Poetic Aphorisms,' translated by Longfellow. You will find it under the title of Retribution,' in any complete edition of Longfellow's poems. Perhaps our readers can tell you where the other two quotations come from:

(1.) "We spent them not in toys, or lust, or wine,

But search of deep philosophy,

Wit, eloquence, and poetry; Arts which I loved, for they, my friend, were thine."

(2.) "A leper once he lost and gained a king."

Report of the Aunt Judy's Magazine' Cots at the Hospital for Sick Children, 49 Great Ormond Street, London, April 10th, 1879.

Two deaths have occurred in the "AUNT JUDY" Girl's Cot since the last report was written. Just now it is tenanted by a very white-looking fairy of three years old, who must be very weary of the strange and jerky movements which her complaint (popularly called 'St. Vitus's dance') obliges her to make every instant. At present, she is quite unable to walk, or speak, or play with her toys.

Equally small is the occupant of the Boy's " AUNT JUDY" Cot. He has some disease of the skin, as well as one of the chest, and has a very distressed look, but is better now than he was a week or two ago.

The University boat-race produced the usual excitement at the Hospital. In all the wards, the one question on the lips of every child was, " Are you Oxford or Cambridge?" and most of the children and nurses were adorned with bits of blue ribbon. Party feeling ran especially high in the Louise Ward, we are told, and loud was the cheer raised there by the Cambridge adherents when the victory of their side was announced. "I am going to Highgate to-morrow," said a child very disconsolately, a few days before the boat-race. "Well, but you will hear all about it there." "Not quite so soon," was the reply, uttered in a most plaintive tone.

The first of April was another day

which our little friends would not suffer

to pass unnoticed. Some of them had the impertinence to try-and not altogether without success-to make "April fools of their doctors, who, not at all offended, good-naturedly returned the fun.

The Charley, whose toys were 'boketed,' is still the delight of the Louise Ward. One day he cried violently while having a medical visit, but afterwards volunteered the information, "that the doctors didn't hurt one bit," adding, "I 'owled cause I was f'ightened." "Then," said some one to him, "you must not call yourself a big boy any more." "Well," replied poor Charley, thinking that tears were certainly a comfort sometimes, "I'll be a little boy till my leg gets well."

There is another fascinating Charley in the same Ward, who happens, by-thebye, to be the first inhabitant of the new Algiers Cot. He cannot speak, owing to some defect inside his mouth, but his firm rosy cheeks and stout strong limbs are a most pleasant sight; and he at once takes one's thoughts into the country, where one could fancy him trotting after a plough-boy brother, or tumbling about in a field bright with buttercups.

Among the recent admissions into the Hospital, may be mentioned eight canaries, all given by one kind friend; also an elephant, not, like the birds, alive and caged, but a remarkably fine specimen of the toy animal.

As a word of description is now generally given to the new cot-labels, we may mention that the chief ornament of that belonging to the Algiers Cot is a lovely straggling spray of the clematis, which has the dark purplish flower; while a beautiful bunch of violets-both white and blue is painted upon the label hanging over the In Memoriam W. H. K. Cot.'

And real flowers-primroses, wild anemones, and violets, are again to be

seen in our wards, now that spring has come, and bring the old messages of love, and peace, and wonderful new life. Would it be possible (this is merely a suggestion, we dare not call it a request !) for some of the friends who so kindly send these flowers, to send a hamper of vegetables now and then to the Hospital? Such gifts would be most useful, and most thankfully received. The commonest vegetables are very dear in London. Why, we believe that a wellfed country pig would hardly take the trouble to examine the mean little bunch one gets here for fourpence or sixpence; perhaps two or three carrots and turnips, an onion, a scrap of faded parsley, and a very small stick of flabby celery. Is not our suggestion, at any rate, worth thinking over?
