The graves are all carofullv tended, and above each one Hands a little white soldier's cross. The beautiful thought has occurred to Miss Steei. a lady instructor in the Army of the Phine, to lay flowers on the graves where our heroes lie buried on the festivals of All Saints and All Souts, and a large srrii of money has already been subscribed for wreaths. It will be a con- soling thought to the relatives of these dead heroes to know that there are many who bare not forgotten thnt There is a corner of a foreign strand that is for ever England."
