PRINCESS OF WALES.
From the 13th December dates H.E.H's recovery. At Sandringham the anxiety was of course intense, and early in the day the Princess of Wales wrote to the vicar of the parish the Rev. Lake Onslow, as follows: "My husband is better, and I am coming to church. I must watch with Sff husband, and therefore must leave hefore the end of the service. Canlot you say a few words for him in prayers early in tho service, that I may ; join with you in prayer for him ?" These earnest, simple, Christian j words—this most womanly and wifely request was of course acceded to. The chaplain, who was deeply affected Nore than once during the service, offered ud a short prayer before reading the Collects ot the day, in which he begged the whole congregation earnestly to join on behalf of his %al Highness. There was not a " r y eye in the church when this prayer concluded ; for the struggling emotion which broke the voice of the chaplain as he put forth his earnest Application lent double significance to nis pathetic language.
