Miss Florence Nightingale.
The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian learns that Miss Florence Nightingale continues to lose strength under her continued labors. The scenes and sufferings of the Crimea made a deep and abiding impression on her devoted and deep nature. She determined after her return to give herself up to the removal of the manifest sources of that evil which she beheld in full play in the lazar-houses Scutari, and under the dismal hospital marquees before Sevastopol.—Ever since the conclusion of peace she has been laboring at the work of barrack and hospital improvement, with a view to the amelioration of the health of the soldier and the increase of his comforts. She has persevered in this labor in spite of impaired health and failing strength.
