THE BISHOPS SIN.

THE BISHOPS SIN.
As the Bishops conduct has been the
subject of considerable comment, it BE-
- comes kind of duty to give the true
account of the whole matter -
AS every body knows. Right Rev.
E. erton and Tauphie was a very Broad
Churchman. He had not boldly op-
posed the Tractarian movement in the
T Oxford days? The Bishop had been
known to smile on Mr.. Spurgeon and
beam benevolently upon metropolitan

curates of his diocese were not interdict-
ed from cricket nor his rectors from
= 0~s lawn-tennis and l am not in a position
to contradict the rumor that t Bishop
has been known to cut into rubber for
''silver three pennies" and in the
shadow of stage-box once saw MIR.
Irving pay Shyfock.
Indeed, when Julian, his only son,
was at Elton, his father reioi ell more at
his winning the public scavo rack Is
than in his carrying off the Prince Con-
sort prize for foreign Ian guageS; aud
., when up at Oriel he found his way into

as to be at moments positively iundi gn-
fled. He Ii AS son to be in the Lest

assured him were 'necessaries'' even
for Bishops infant, rich and hon.
orable alliance for Julian began to be a
very definite object in the Episcopal
eye. and consequently he highly ap-
pro~ed of Julian country house visits

fast, over an account o. the pre- ious
evening dinner and Dance the sacer-
notal spirits sensibly revived. Nomin-
ally, Ju ian was gong to the Bar, and
duly ate dinners OF, rather, sulked in

and refused the preferred oint on The
ground that he never ate boiled mutton
in the afternoon Naturally enough
this statement irritated his poor breth-
rem, especially as it was Julian's wont
to bolt to the Orleans for dinner the
moment grace was said
Bearing these facts in mind, it will
be understood that the Bishop was
rather hurt when it came to his ears
- that his son had been frequently seen at
Mrs. Gideon Blewsby's 'smalt and
81 earlics'' in Cockerton Crescent, Bays
r water, and had subsequently been OBJ
served at st. James Hall on Monday
evenings, apparently enwrapped in the
s-s strains of a Spohr quartelte. in company
with pretty little girl known to all
Bayswater as Kitty Blewsby. When
finally Miss Crabbie told him that the
pair had been noticed shopping at
ge Whiteley's he could stand it no longer.
. as ut won't do, my boy said the
Bishop one day '.She may be all you
say-probably is; but then you know
Blewsby is a solictor-attnrneys we
b = used to call them--and Dissenter, and
sr.f - don't lik it; besides the Crabbies talk
about,it so.' - 81
my dear father" said Julian, some

ic Buddhist, and all the rest of it; but
she is frowsy old gossip for all that,
and Miss Blewsby is a charming, nat

Even the professional plea didn't
soften the Bishop; and he wrinkled his 4
brow and his apron-both usually
smooth-as. he said, Indignantly, taking
his bedroom candle: '.PleposterousI
perfectly monstrous! I'm, ashamed of
you!' .ys..sY
Why Julian rushed upstairs after Ills

and dashed into hanson, I don t
quite know: but in aquarter of an hour
