Khe was absent from tbe school room ten minutes. Tbe girls looked curiously at E:bel, and the Utter wondered who it could be. She knew of no clergjroau likely to visit her, and was snr piked by the gracious permission to go to the drawing room which Miss Malntreo presently vouch safed her ; sn indnlgenoe due not bo much to the reverend visitor s subtle politenesi, aa to the fact, caanally made known by him, that bo had three daughters of m age to be at school.

Thr bor esty and morality of such policy is indefensible. Tbe time Is near at hand wheiv these great powers must cease their aggressions in tbe east or come in conflict with each otberr as they now stand almost face to face. Kussia'd object in case of war with England in tbe east would be to compel her to relin quish her hold on India and abandon her pretentions to abso lute dominion in that part of th s east, or let Russia take Constan tinople.
