WASHING Hrs HANDS IN INNOCENCE.
Some twenty years ago beautiful little church
IN the West was ready for conservation. On
the day appointed the venerable bishop Chase,
with several clergy, was present. Just before
going into the church, the bishop had written
the "deed of conservation" and, in so doing,
had soiled his hands with ink. He did not
observe this until after he was in the chancel,
and during the progress Of the services; and,
when his eye rested upon his blackened fng-
ers, he was apparently much annoyed. He
called some of the clergy 10 his side, and ex-
hibited his soiled hand, and said he must wash
it. But he was very heavy and unwieldly,
and could not get out and in the chancel
without great difficulty, and therefore declin-
ed going out into the vestry-room, where
there was a bowl. "Bring the bowl and tow
el to me-" he said.
One clergyman ventured 10 suggest to him,
soto uoce, that wet towel might do as well,
and would be less noticed by the congrega-
ton.
The bishop looked at him over his specta-
cles and said: "Sir, never wash with tow
ell"
At last the senior warden of the parish was
obliged to go out and bring in bowl of wa
ter. And, by singular coincidence, just as
the officiating clergyman was giving out the

The three were invited to 90 to a
dinner party the next day, by a wealthy
family who lived near, but India had a
sore throat, and although It was not
dangerous, the doctor had forbidden
her going out in the cold air for one
day at least. Sidney Morton and Violet
wished to decline the invitation on her
account, but India would not hear to it,
as the party had been made almost en-
tirely for them. '-.s.U
India was not afraid of any explana-
tion being made between the two; TIE
Professor had promised her not to mem
ton 1t to Violet, and she knew Ofcourse
that the latter would say nothing about
it. India sat in the library, dressed in
costly robe de c4ambrs, with some scar
let flowers in the shining braids Of her
black hair. She was just pale enough
to be interesting, and made a very pretty
invalid. So thought Sidney Norton
when he came in and foundher there.
$50 YOU haven't gone yet" she said
with smile. ' g1
''No, it is not time, believe ! re.
gret your illness exceedingly; Miss In
dia. Do you think you caught cold
when we were out yesterdsyl
"Oh no My maid left d window up
in my room last night. That vas the
cause of it, l think" asAo4h a'
The Professor stood gazing abstract
edly into the fire, with one arm resting
on the mantle. He was thinking Of
Violet's strange conduct of yesterday;
1t was inexpliCable to him. A sudden
thought entered his brain Perhaps
she was offended at what he had said to
her in the library, and had taken this
method to show her displeasufs. He
would have said more, perhaps, had
it not been for India's entrance. He
was thankful now that be did not.
While he was looking at the fire, India
was looking at him, and wondering how
she could ever have called him ''ratber
good looking" man, To her partial
eyes he was perfect. The tired look on
his face had entirely vanished, and his
cheeks now wore the hue of health
He was faultlesslt attired; but be was
a man who did not owe his appearance
to his tailor, and would have been hand
some had he been clad in rags. Violet
came in presently, ready to start.
q am SO sorry you cannot go, IrdiaF
she said, smoothing back the hair from
India's brow. saea .
"And ! too" said Morton, ''Is
seems so bad to leave you alone, Miss
India" Now this speech Of bis vas
very unfortunate. Violet thought how
he had left her alone yesterday, without
regret, and hardened toward him in@
stantly. India saw the ocldness that
existed between them, and applauded
herself for the success Of her plan. Soon
after they had gone Mr.. Richmond
came in. He had just been out for q
walk. T

here, and beside that I'm never less
alone than when alone"
81 think it very strange he didn't ask
you to 90 too" said India, putting
neatly booted foot on the fender to
warm. II said / didn't like to leave
you alone, but he didn't seem to take
the hint Professor Is not usually 50 50
obtuse, but these men are so strange.
Well, | must 60 Good bye Violet
\ darling" and with Judas kiss on the
fair brow Of her guest, India went out.
A flush Of shame swept over her face
at the falsehOod, but it was soon gone.

Morton bit his lips, and his face
flushed. Perhaps she was hurt because

but ---
"Oh l explained that. l am sorry
now that 1 told you what she said, But
the truth" 5'lt - .
SIS always the best, !" interrupted the
young man.
"YOu wont mention this to Violet'"
Certainly not. Come Miss Lester"
1t cannot be denied that Violet,was
somewhat piqued and hurt at what In
dia had told her. Had not her. ndwe
been mentioned to the professor in con-
nection with tie ride, she would have
thought nothing of it. But as it was,
it was almost the same as if h chad de-
liberately refused to have her go. She
determined to fix her mind on the book,
but her thoughts reverted the the UNI

liked. E@',.

India, who said.
"This way Miss India" They fol
lowed him to an elegant carriage, drawn
by two black horses, with a silver
mounted harness. The horses were
paving the grodnd as if impatient to
start. India laid ohs white ungloted
hand on the neck of the horse nearest
her
"Dear old Nero, how are you! do
you suppose he knows me Tom?"
"Know you Miss India7 Ia! dat hoss
am as well 'quainted with you as | is.
Him and Romeo am as smart now as
cotimon folks. De Lor' only knows
what dey will git to KNOWN 'afore dey
dies"
India laughed lightly. The Profess
sor helped the two girls into the car
riage, and the three were soon whirllng
along through the streets.
Mr.. Richmond's residence was about
d mile from the city The grounds
about it were quite extensive, and con-
tanned great many majestic trees.
Violet leaned out of the carriage as
they rolled along the gravel walk that
led to the house. There was a summer
house here and there, rustic cHaifs dn-
der the trees, and one or two fountains $
which were frozen and glittered like
crystals in the winter sunlight. Just
before coming to the house they crossed
rustic bridge. The house, which had
been concealed by the trees, now ap-
peared to view. 1t was large mansion,
with an air of antiquity about it, which
quite delighted Violet. The wide por-
tico was supported by massive pillars
The heavy oaken. door was open, dis
closing an arched inner one of stained
glass.
What beautiful home you have In
dia," said Violet, while Professor Nor
ton echoed her remark. ....
Is it? / never thought about it
particularly" said India. Mr.. Rich
mond was standing on the portico, and
welcomed his ward aud her guests with
great cordiality. An elderly lady
dressed in black met them in the hall
it was the housekeeper She seemed
delighted to see India, who greeted her
kindly.
"Haye dinner served at once, Mrs.
Dean,-we are almost famished." The
house-keeper smiled.
"That is what you always say, Miss
India"
"Hunger is the chronic complaint of
all school girls" said India, laughing.
A servant now appeared, to show
them to their rooms. The dust of trav-
Ell removed, they repaired to the large
dining hall, and sat down to a bounti-
fully spread table. Flowers bloomed in
the windows, and sent their sweet per-
fume through the room; the walls were
adorned with pictures of game, fruit
and flowers; at the farther end of the
room was an enormous picture of deer,
his head lifted bigh in the air, as if lis
tening for bis pufsuers, A lively con-
versation was kept up during the meal,
and after dinner the time passed away
pleasantly until after tea, in music and
conversation.

Violet was awakened next morning
by servant coming into her room to
make a FIRE. In little while she arose ;
her small white feet sank deep into the
velvet carpet, as going to the window
she drew back the damask curtain and
looked out. The ground was covered
with snow; everything looked white and
pure as the life of Him whose birthday
it was. After size was dressed the
young gTl opened her bible, and read
again the story of our saviour's birth.
India's maid CAME in with a package.
'Mss India said | was to lay this on

While we have cable dispatches going to
show that England is exerting her infiu-
ence for peace, the latest mail adVices
show that great activity &C atinues to be
manifested in that country in the perform
ance Of the important neutral obligation
of driving brisk trade impartialiy with
both belligerents. According to the Lon
don Daily News, the French Government
is buying great quantities Of arms, ammu-
milton, clothing, &C., in London. They
pay cash down. and any price required.
The Prussians are also buying tons of
blankets, as if they expected to spend the
winter in France. The London Times is
curious to see whether Prussia will make
any protest against the export Of arms,
&c, from America. Five million pounds
OF gunpowder is the amount of the Eng
lish order, and the market is swept of eve
~ sort Of 1irearm. In the meantime Bir-
mingham has gone to work on heavy orders
from Russia. The question is asked. is it
