And momentarily forgetful of the chief
sorrow of her life, Keturah ran blithely
down stairs to be kissed by Sim and chlval-
rously greeted by Mr.. Boyce.
Both student-lamps were lighted, and
Mrs. Hitchings had even gone to the ex.
travaganee of pair of mould candles on
the mantlepiece, and as Keturah turned to
help set tha table there was q unanimous
shout of laughter.
Why, Kit, how do you come to be top
ped off with cardinal-red ?" jeeringly de-
manded Simeon.
What in all creation ails you hair ?"
said her father.
And Keturah, catching glimpse OF her
self in cherry -framed looking-glass which
hung opposite, uttered a shrek of dismay,
and took to precipitous flight.
Her head no longer bore the old hue of
coppery-red, but now displayed the vivid
cardinal hue of Farmer Rumford's new barn.
door.
And as she hastened to hide herself, she
heard the laughter-c hoked voice of Simeon
exelniming. incoherently:
Well, always knew that red hair was
fashionable, but didn't know that the girls
were SO wild after it as to dye their bangs
the regular blazing vermilion."
Mrs. Hitchings herself got the supper
hat night. 1t was Barbara's evening out,
and poor Keturah was nowhere to be found
And it wal nearly ten o'clock when the
weeping girl, coming up the long pear-tree
walk, met Mr.. Boyce face TO face.
Don't run away, Keturah," said he,
kindly. Don't make an enemy of one who
would fain be friend. I have so much to
say to you, Keturah.n
I've washed il and washed it, and il
won't come out !" sobbcd poor Keturah.
Washed what ?" questioned Mr. Boyce
My hair-my horrid, hideous, hateful
hair !"
Never mind your hair" said Mr.. Boyce
gently drawing her arm through his.
But-but it was such dreadful color,
and I dyed it; and they gave me the wrong
color. And, oh, Pm almost sure it never
will come natural again ln
On, yes, 1t Will |" said Harry Boyce,
coaxingly-"t the prettiest eold-auburn shade
in oil the world"
"oh, Mr.. Boyce, do you really think
SOP"
Upon my soul and honor / do! But
don't you want to hear my news"
"0f course do" whispered Keturah
Well, then, Kitty--my Kitty-here it
is: have received my first call to the pas
torate of church in Livingbrook, Massa-
chusetts, with the prettiest little rectory in
the world, of yellowstone, all covered with
climbing vines. And all need now is a
wife to keep house for me- and ask the den.
cons and deaconesses to tea. VIII you be
that, Keturah ?"
"Oh, Harry" she gasped, edo you think
that woman who dyes her hlir is worthy
to be minister's wife ?"
If we none of us had any earthly i'm
projections" said the young minister-elect,
smiling, tive should be angels; and al
though you're the nearest ever saw to one.
Kitty with kiss" don't want you to
float away and leave me just yet So I'm
rather glad You haven't arrived at that
wing-and-silver-t trumpet stage"
And Keturah Hitchings never troubled
herself any more about her hair.
If Harry likes it, said she, "I do !''-

Some college girls made up sponge
cake and sent 1t without label to an agri-

block pavement of that kind, it being the

the thing for streets where the travel is

DR. Lindsley, of Portland, lectured at the
College Chapel in this city last Monday
evening to quite large and attentive audi.
ence. hia theme being the Eastern Ques-
ton" The Dr.. treated the subject on
broad basis, giving = brief, but quite inter
esting sketch Of the founding OF Rome, the
early peopling OF the country bordering on
the Red, Mediterranean, Arabian and other
seas of Southern Europe aud Asia. tie rise
and progress of Mohammedanism. the objects
and purposes Of the Crusaders, the rise and
growth of the Kingdom of Great Britain and
the Empire of Russia, all a. introductory to
the central thought of the lecture, that the
question which now seems destined TO lsad
these two great nations into a conflict Of
arms, Russia wanting TO gain q foothold at
Censtantinople thus to afford her an easy
outlet to the oceans where the commercial
world has its highway. and England bent on
preventing Rassia's thus coming in compe-
titisn with her in her present supremacy in
the commercial world. The lecturer declared
the question was not of recent date, but had
been the cause ef nearly all the European
and Asiatic conflicts for several hundred
years past. England's policy was pagan and
not christian. She would extend her borders
regardless of the rights of others, but not.
withstanding this the speakers sympathie,
are with England. Altogether the address
was interesting and instructive.

organ broken out aud the organ otherwise
mutilased and unfit for use
One evening during the wesk as the min

grew out of the difficulty about the organist.
The highest penalty of the law should be
meted out to those who thus take the Law in
their hands, and the good citizens of Browns
vile owe it to themselves to ferret out and
punish those who made such an assault up
on the minister, his wife and their friend. Oh

the case, but we do know that persons should
not be allowed TO thus take the law into
