Wellington's suarncphagius in the crypt is
not unlike that of Napoleon, but the
solid stone from which it was cut, was
not brought from distant Finland but
supplied by his own land. We saw, also,
tihe funeral car used at his burial-mag
nificently wrought in broinze from the
gauns lie had captured, the hubs of the
wheels being the mouths of cannons;
and draped with black velvet, richly
decorated with silver firinge.
We climbed toilsomely almost to the
summit of the dome, andl looked down,
three hundred feet below, on the tes
sel;ited marble floor-asurely an imposing
view. Then, from the Golden Gallery,
we beheld thle city. The houses far
below us-the network of noisy vehicles
the surging crowd of men and women,
hurrying hither and thither-while a
ti,: k mrtist shrouded all the city, and
veiled the distant horizon in gloom. But
where we stood, the fresh, pure air of
heaven fannied our cheeks like a life
tonlic-the old Cathedral rises high above
the brooding exhalatiuus of earrth sym
hl izing titus an eternal verity. For so
is the religion which this noble pile pro
clailms lifted abone the painful jar and
fret of things tran:sitory--above the
earth-lorn fogs which blur men's visiou
and mislead their feet, up into the clear,
high atmosphere of God's eternal truth.
Well, Nell dear, I am afraid you will
