LAND OF SORROW.
Dr. Marion Phillips, writing in the Labour "Women for May, speaks of the effect of, France upon the traveller; — “Coming from France intoSwitzorland is like coming from the sick-room into the sunlit air. It is the faces of the people that the great change is felt. The Swiss look cooli and collected in every way. The Frenchmen, and the Frenchwomen even more, boar the draw'll faces of those who have looked very close upon sorroiv and who are torn by anxious fear. There ss a pa:-.-ctic look of tragedy not fully understood in the faces of the lonely soldiers who guard the railway lane that tears the heart, and the quiet darkness of Paris is like death in the happy household of a friend.
