Our positions as serfs excited the solicitude of my friend, the Frenchman, and he urg ed me to seek an adopted country in the Western world ; but, though d ardently desired to withdraw my neck from the yoke of bondage, I could not fly, without leaving my poor old father a prey to my mas ters vengeance. If I once left Rusua finally, the smallest chastise ment for him would be the loss of his property, and a return to the rudest labors of slavery. I could not do it. Besides, I nourished a hope which strengthened me each <lav to await the morrow. I thought that. Alexander, who, it was said, ambitious of the title of regenerator of his country, would associate his name with the abolition of servi tude. But all the philanthropy of the Emperor, restrained as it was by the hateful and pitiless nobles, produced only the ukase, which forbade the individual sale of the serfs: they could only be sold with the estate." I had waited in vain. ‘Why did you not try to pur chase yourself 1 , . •it would have been useless.

The shot followed instantly. ‘Down!’ exclaimed the voice lie said; ‘an Englishman never abandons the field of battle.’ ‘Never, Prince! nor a Russian either. Is it not so ?\ ‘It is a national prejudice with us; : but perhaps you would like to change the game. Will faro for two suit you ?’ ‘Faro let it be?’ The two adversaries entered the list again. The Prince held the band and gained 20,000 roubles. His good fortunes seemed fatality itself. • Yet the perfect calmness of the Englishman was not less aston ishing. lie pursued his object with the impassibility of his compa triots before the French battallions at Waterloo;’ when Wellington, seeing his soldiers fall one attei the other° took his watch and said: ‘They died at so many a minute: 1 have yet such a number of men ; it will be an hour before the last one falls; Blucher will have time to ar- j rive; the victory is mine!’ Railly doalt m his turn. This | time fortune passed over to his side. He gained. He doubled his stake and" gained again. He had just gathered up 80,000 roubles, when he announced that he had tripled his stake.

At the eighth trial, the Prince having f.u ed and Railly succeeded, they were again equal, and the two sportsmen look a moment for re pose. The Prince again took Ins piaee, fired, and missed.

Four days after this conference, a dense crowd was collected in one of the gaming halls, around a small table under the rotunda, at which •were seated two players. They were Sir James Railly 7 and Prince Goulobskoff. For two days these two had been contending for vic tory—now at lasquenet, now at faro, now at escarte; and the losses of Railly amounted to 200,000 rou bles. 'i’he game at present was escarte, and had been lour against four; but the betters, becoming alarmed, thought it prudent to re sume their stakes; they were re newed by the Prince and Railly, and the stake amounted now to the round sum of 80,000 florins. The cards were shuffled and dis tributed ; the trump card was hearts; they were to be renewed twice. Fire sparkled in the eyes of the Prince, but those of Railiy were impenetrable. It was not a man, but a stature, the expression never changed. ‘Hearts!’ said the Prince. ‘I have it.!’ ‘Hearts!’ he replied. ‘Here it is.’ ‘Hearts!’ again. ‘Here !’ ‘Hearts!’ Raily leaned back in his chair, looking with indifference on the ta- ‘Then I add 50,000 to my stake.’ ‘Agreed; but 1 have not the tiile- deeds here.’ ‘Pen, ink, and paper ean supply them.’ AYriting mater'a’s were brought, and the Prince engaged in writing to transfer to Sir James, if he were the winner the title of his domain upon the Volga.
