Every accommodation for the tmveling public, A CHRISTMAS PURSE. I wilt tell you the tail of a parse; a strange story you will say, to choose for christmas, but let me an- swer you that it'is all about love- making, and it wasa Christmas purse. You must know that the name of my heroine is Angelina Pallan, and that at the time to which my tail refers, she and her mother were. as poor as any church mice in the world. They were, like many another mo- ther and daughter in the world, left alone, With a very small income, which would scarcely pay for chops. and disliked by many for being ladies while, in fact, they scarcely lived as well as the very thar-woman who came once a week to do their rooms. Mrs. Pallan and Angelina were hidden rather than lodged on a second floor in a house in the Ken- tish Town district, and here there one friend found them twice a week toa cup of tea, and a turn at curds, which appear to bave been the only enjoyments the aged lady exper- ienced, apart from a periodical visit to the Zoological Gardens, out of which entertainment the greatest amount of pleasure was obtained. -- They went on Monday when it was only sixpence, and Mrs Pallan, pers haps not a very strong-minded woman, always found a great pleas- ure on the proceeding Saturday, making certain economical cakes, which only the more ravenous of the animals condesended to swallow. Poor lady, the widow of an Indian Iregimental surgeon, sho had been sent out to India atthe age of fifteen ; and when after a neglected youth, she had only been sent to school three or four years, and from that time forward she had learned aught, and cared to learn nothing, Iam afraid her ideas of what was right and what was wrong were a little confused. Angelina, on the contrary, the daughter of a gentleman of great charm of manner, aud very highly educated, was a great contrast to her mother, towards whom, however, she exhibited much genuine love and even respect. She could not, however, have been ignorant of the slight lapse of straightforwardness | Which sometimes distinguished her mother. She had not been reared under her mother's protection. Sent from the deadly Indian climate at a very early age, she had remained under the care of a brother of her tather's and his wife, both people of wisdom both influenced by a sense of duty. They were not, however, rich; and an epidemic raging which carried them off within three days of each other, they were buried in one grave leaving behind them only a slender forty pounds a yoar her entire for- tune--the wealth of her education apart. The forty pounds, with something less than a hundred received by the mother, was all they called their own. The mother's income, being a pension, would die with her. Now uponone hundred and odd pounds they might have lived very well in the country ; but poor Mrs. Pallan was fond of London, and fond of what she called the West Fnd, and consequently they lived in un- furnished apartments at a rent that took nearly one third of their in- come. Then the poor, dear lady would dress extremely well, and so there was very little to find comforts for the house. She was very kind and tender to- wards Angelina, but she appeared quite to forget that her daughter was twenty, and she herself nearly forty. She dressed as though she was still only twenty-five, while Angelina had found a difficulty in restraining her mamma from order- ing ber dresses to be made quite girlish. J Their furniture came from her uncle and aunt who had left Angel- ina her fortune ; very old-fashioned and worn, but much of it beautiful. Things were in this condition when, upon one of the usual Monday visits to the Zoological Gardens, a [troublesome monkey caught and | partially pulled into his cage a very pretty parasol which Acgelina was carrying. A géutléman ran forward--he ap- peared to be thirty years of age-- and rescuéd the parasol from thé im- pending danger. It was Angélina's soft, appealing, | yet intelligent look which thanked him rather than her trembling words. Mrs. Pallan was very angry at what «he called ber danghter's' in- Jadvertancy, and the stranger jmore delighted as he marked which the young lady bore the mother's remarks. Then he followed them I know for certain, and very much surprised was Mrs. Pallan when she found Mr. Henry Elkington, the gentleman in question, toming from the drawing: room fioor as she and Angelina wero descending the stairs. Now Angelina had by no means forgotten the very handsome stranger who had attracted her at- tention at the Zoological Gardens by the endervour to save her parasol, she herself was much excited by tho encounter. Naturally Mrs. Pollan bowed, the affair at the gardens was referred to, and being asked by what chance he happened to be in the house, he replied that, seeking lodgings, he had taken the drawing-room floor. Said the mamma: ' Angy, my darling, he must be comparitively wealthy or he could not take a first floor furnished ; and do you see how very good his clothes are, and how very white his linen ?' 'Ho appears to me to be a charm. ing gentleman, mamma ; I did not take much notice of his dress.' And then it came about that in a few weeks after many accidental meetings on tho stairs, leaving the house, entering it, at last the young man found himself invited to the sitting room occupied by the Indian widow and her daughter. IIe at once saw thot they were | poor but at the same time various little fragments of thé young lady's handiwork attracted his attention vividly. 'These are my daughter's em- broideries ; said the mother. 'Indeed they are very pretty-- really beautiful. 'Yes,' said Angelina, quietly ; 'I have made quite a study of embroid- eries and know all about them; here are some more.' "She is very delightful,' though ; and yet no audacity.' But when he went to his own room that night, he was very uncomfort- able, and upon this ground. A certain Colonel Hambly had made his appearance« during the evening, an aged courtly gentleman and at the same time a sort of cousin to the elder of the two ladies, This gentleman sat down to play at the homely game of cribbage with the elder lady, and Elkington glancing up now and again, saw Mrs. Pallan cheat ina mean and small under- hand way. When the half pay colonel rose to take his leave, Mrs. Pallan cried out, 'I've won again, colonel, nearly five shiliings. Decidedly you ought to be happy in your love affairs, for you are very unfortunate at the card table.' The colonel smiled, shook hands, and took his leave, having treated Elkington to a certain exhibition of austerity. This was on a Wednesday night and on the following Wednesday a similar scene occurred. Ho fancied upon this occasion that Angelina marked his discovery, but sho be- trayed no knowledge of the discov- ery if she had made it. Angelina and Elkington found the time dance quickly away in each other's society. They talked very little, he speaking for the gaeater part, and of foreign lands. Mani- festly he was a travelled man.-- Meanwhile, she occupied herself with her embroidery, and bent ber eyes over it. 'Surely,' he thought that night-- 'surely they are not swindlers, mother and daughter? Or are they something worse, and does the old man allow himself to be pilfred in this way, because his payment takes another shape ?' It must be remembered that he had known the mother and daughter only several weeks. These thoughts made him' hot and uncomfortable. A couple of months passed. Al- most every Wednesday he was in the little sitting room, and as often a5 he was théro he saw the colonel Ipably cheated, Poke i. convinced by this time 'that thére was somo strange com- pact between the lady and the éolo- he fact that ho always lost ; but he com pletely exonorated the young lady from any anticipation in this singul ar systematic robbéry. his visiting the room, bo took out his purse to give the colonel--who had lost with more than usual bad fortune --some change, when, being eagerly engaged in conversation - with Angelina, he set his purse down forgot it altogher. Pr ------ patience and pleasantness with 'no nonsense about her, | nel, who could not bg blind to the But matters were soon brought to a climax. On the tenth occasion of of the house. They will send it down in the morning,' he thought. 'I supposo Angelina so attracted me about my birthday next month--why should she have wanted to know the date ? --that I forgot it.' Next morning--but no purse was sent down. Up to the following Wednesday no purse was brought to the drawing room. Io :paid his usual Wednes- day evening visit with somo trepid. ation. Angelina met him as frankly as ever, but he saw her hide some- thing as he entered, and when he took ber hand it trembled. Nota word was said about the pursa. He went down stairs very uneasy in his mind. The colonel had lost again, and upon 'this occasion the old soldiet had heaved a sigh. Next Wednesday he did not go up- stairs, 'They will comprehend,' he thought, 'and they will see I am hurt; and to-morrow morning it will be upon my breakfast table.' - But no purse made its appearance. He waited another week, and again abstained from visiting the Pallans, notwithstanding the deter- mination made him very wretched, and that ho found it very hard to keep. On tho following morning, he learned that the Pallans had been making inquiries after his health.' 'And, indeed,' said the landlady, 'more than that, sir. The second floor take quite an interest in you, sir, and asked me it I knew who you or your friend was, and where you yourself come from. ¢ Heavens,' he thought, 'they have been trying to catch me ; what an escape I' But when the amazed landlady received the intimation that her lodger would go that day week, she had no idea that her remarks concerning the interest tho second floor showed in him had led to that unbappy re- result, Strangely enough, the day upon which he was to leave his lodgings--a Thursday --was the anniversary of his birthday, the day in | which Angelina had shown so much interest | --and it was likewise Christmas Day. | He had packed his boxes, aud was ready to go, when he heaard a low tap at his door. He said, 'Come in !' and the door opening there stood Angelina, ¢ hiss Pallan I' ¢ The woman of the house tells me you are going away, Mr. Elkington, and it is your birthday, and Christmas Day, and you have been very kind to mamma and me, and as we may never see you again, may I ask you to accept this embroidered purse as a souvenir # It is in Cordovan leather, and I have been many weeks embroidering it in seed stitch.' ¢ A purse ?' he said, looking at her as she blushed. He had by this time taken the proffered present apparantly under some mighty in- fluence. « But its weighty--what is there in it? Oh, the last time you visited mamma and me, you left a very ugly purse behind you. It was not found for three days--behind a cushion--and then supposing that you were quite ignorant ot where you had lost it, or you would have sent up to us asking for the purse, I determined to work -you one, and surprise you on Christmas Day--to day-- when you are going away.' A something beat at his heart which told him that he loved her. She bad cleared away all doubt. « Angeliva,' he said, 'Ido not like this house, and I am certainly not going to live in it all my life ; but will you leave it with me; as my wife 7' She covered her face with her hands--a sufficient answer. ¢« Ob,' she said when he had made his con- 'it is quite understood.

From other sources it Las been learned the thatRussian corvette Craysser, now laying in position, is prepared for instant action, and the object of her long delay here is to obtain the earliest possible news of the out- break ot hostilities, and at once go to sea and lic in wait for British vessels bound to this port. It is understood that with the exception of the corvette Opal and the small gunboat Rocket, at Victoria, and a firigate ships [which is supposed to be somewhere in the the neighborhood of Panama, there is not a single British war vessel in the North Pacific to interfere with the designs of the Russian crusier, and it is probable the vessels at Victoria would be retained there for defencive purposes, ------------ The First of the Season.

That the Act may be repealed at the expiration 'of one year instead of three years. 4. That the expense of submitting the bill to the people should be borne by the county. and not by the Dominion.
