The engravings represent the view from the verandah of the usual sitting-room in the Church Mission-house at Madras, and will help you more thoroughly to understand the scenes that are constantly passing before the eyes of those who are dwelling in heathen countries. The Church Mission-house is in Black Town, in the midst of East-Indians, Heathen, and Mahomedans, and is the residence of the Secretary of the Madras Corresponding Committee, the Rev. T. G. Ragland. The room from which the present view is taken is on the first floor, facing the east, and, as the surrounding houses are all low, it has the advantage of the sea breezes. You will observe the masts of some vessels lying in the Madras Roads, and the sea itself would be seen from the verandah, were it not for the buildings on the beach. On the left of the picture are the minarets of a Mahomedan mosque, and the roofs of a multitude of native houses. standing in streets, or rather lanes, through some of which an European would not like to pass. The right-hand half of the picture is occupied by a small pagoda, with the houses inhabited by the Brahmins belonging to it. Were you to step out into the verandah, and look round further to the right, you would see the small cupola of a Church belonging to the Armenian Christians, who are ; and close by it, the Cathedral and Nunnery of the Irish Roman Catholics. -
