Stepane’s life became hi,rd.Iiving alone.
He Ifad never known solitude. The
Russian peasant’s nature, essentially
hospitable, -ill accords with isolation.
Htepnno merely thought of his wife’6
treachery; he scorned her-, but without
ar.gor, looking upon ber almost ns lie
would a faithless dog that forsakes its
mastor tp.foljow the first new-comer.
It is our refined civilization which has
put .a jinaband’s jealousy in the heart of
the indifferent than; the patriarchal cus
toms, in Mich a case, admit the justice
of the feelings of the proprietor injured
in liis rights, but not those of wounded
’honor demanding reparation. But what
Mnkiuiof could not pardon was the base
desertion of his fireside; his cold .sup
pers and suffering beasts, and the want
of water Hint -had not. been drawn—all
these material trifles filled his mind. The
summer mouths thus passed away. The
peusaut woman, Auicia, his neighbor
milked his cows and took care of the
poii(try-yard morning and -evening.
Bt»psue one day, as he passed her, stop
ped nud uttered a word of tlwuks- Af
terwards he .simply accepted the daily
service, for must uot the work bo done?
However, lie remembered one day
that his neighbor was a widow and
poor, that alie had two uhilJreu to feed
with the work of her own hands, and
• ho enteTea her house. ‘ ‘What do you
do with my cow’s milk?’’ lie asked
brusquely.
Believing her probit- y doubled, poor
Anica blushed to her temples, and has
tened to answer-:~“Biitter, little -father,
butter} There is a tub full of it under
the house to keep fresh, anti your, hens,
eggs"arc in a large pot next to it. If
yon order it they can be taken t> town
: at the, fiigp opportunity. There |re six-
teondozeu eggs and-sixty pounds of
butter. You ongthto Sell a cow Stepane
. Jlaknrief; for a man living alone, two
cows are too many.”
“We wil]'see,-* repliedStepane, ‘‘But
you liave two children, and you have no
Cow; I do not wish for yoit to make so
much batter, and I wish your children
always to have eggs and milk; do yon
heai?”-
‘•Tliank 3011, Stepane Alakarief,” said
the widow, humbly, moved to tears.
“May-God reward yon.”
Stepane left as suddenly as he had en.
fcerod."
The cold autumn rains came. As
it was. morning the housekeeper heated
the stove for the day, and at evening
the weary men stretched out their limbs
..cn the broad lijauki of brick, wanned j very fast, but with your eyes shut. Then
Underneath liv t ie pleasant, mild heat of
logs. Gu returning home, Stepane
found the great room cold and deserted;
his wife had burned nil the provisions of,
wood of the proceeding year, and the
roads were so bad that before snow came
one could take but little to the village.
However, he dicided to harness his two
horses and go for wood through the
swamp, w^t with incessant rains. A
wish to return without his load; Ha
went a great distance to find large stones
to prevent the wheels from slipping
back on the crumbling soil; with cries
and gesticulations lie excited his brave
little horses, and succeeded so well that
towards 4 o’clock he got off, wet from
bis feet to his waist by the marshy wa
ter, and from waist to brow by the drops
of swe* mpn his body. Thus he re
turned fo the village, and hailed with a
mocking remark, as he passed him, the
man who ’had predicted the failure.
Then he unharnessed his horses, rubbed
Ills horses down carefully with straw,
and prepared them a fresh litter. At
times a shiver passed through his frame;
he felt consumed with an ardent desire
to work—“to warm himself,” he said;
bnt a headache weighed on his brain
like a leaded skullcap, and at his every
movement he felt the blood throb in ,his
brain with heavy thuds. He persisted,
however, in expending the herculean
force he felt within him, and he dragged
bis beavyitelega to the shed alone, un
loaded it and piled up his wood. Then
he wenl into the. house.
A vertigo seized him, the staircase
seemed to turn round under his fest;
he threw himself on a bench and fell
asleep nil dressed,.witliont even having
strength enough to draw a garment, to
wards him to c.over his shivering limbs.
In the morning be awoke so sick that
he thought hefwas going to die. Not
a sound was heard from the village, and
the dull light of an autumn day entered
through the small windows.
“Have people already gone to work?”
he said to himself faintly. He tried to
raise himself on his elbow, but could
not. “The hour of my death lias come;
God save my soul,” he said; and he fell
iDto a troubled sleep. A long time af
ter Stepane woke a second time; his
head still pained him, but a kind of
vague physical well-being which lie now
felt left a pleasant sensation; there was
warmth around him Suddenly he
raised his heavy evelids and looked about
him.
His first thought was that the house
was on tire, For there was a reflection
of flames leaping on the walls, and the
air was heated. It was not a lire, but
liis glowing stove which sent a jyootis
flickering lights across the qpUms ol the
ceiling. A helping hand, bad piled
warm Clothing over his body; his heavy
boots,'.saturated with dampness, were
smoking us they dried a little distmeo
from the fire. All this astouished Ste
pane .somewhat, whose brain was not
capable of l-ugtiiy reflection! The creak
ing oj a footstep was heard on the ntair-
casei and the outer dcor opened and
shut ugain—it wus not Irina who ap
peared, but? Aincit. On her left arm
she carried theyoungest of her children,
and with tue right- hand she carefully
held a teapot of coarso china. The
widow had uot perceived that Stepane
had awakened, the room was dark and
the dim light of the dawn without still
blinded her eyes. She approached the
the table, took from the partly opened
cnpboiud u enp and saucer, and with
child still on her arm, busied herself in
attending to tus fire and stiring the
gruel cooking in a groat pot near the
oven. . -
“Ah, little father,” she said, turning
round quickly, “may the good God be
praised—you are speaking! Are you
better then?”
“Have I been sick?” asked Stepane,
raising him self a little more. His head
seemed to him empty and very big,
but be no longer suffered.
“Have you been siok? Why this is
the third day that you have done nothing
bnt.sleep, anS asked in your dreams for
something to drink,”
“Three days!” exclaimed Stepane,
quite astonished.
“Why, yes: you w,<?nt for wood Satr
urday, - did yon not?”
“I do not know,” said the sick man.
“Yes.it was'Saturday. Sunday, af
ter mass, ou seeing that yon did not go
out, I came ber£ and found you quite
coll, and stiff as a stake. Yon were
saying something in i low mice and
r. fierce antenna wind whistled about
him; but lie scarce heeded it, wrapped
AS.he was in his sheepskin pelisse. In
. Api$e of the bad roads he -Sent, as far ns
the forests, singing in a high-pitched
voice one of those interminable and
melancholy songs so well made to is
press the vngne sadness of the horizon
and fiat monotonous landscapes. Not
without some difficulty Stepane arrived
At the place where the wood forthe. Com
mune was J-eady waiting for the sledges;
loaded his cart to tbo fop and went
pn his homeward way. His horses
sunk in - the swamp,_ahd the cart was
bnried-ahoxe^the tislefree. He went in
to the water np fo his waist to pnsh the
wheels, for he possessed nil the tenaci
ty of purpose of bis race. They told
film in the morning that he could'never
briDg buck his wood, bat- he did not turned to the fields,
iiSS
I covered'you up 'well, made your file,
and tried to draw off your boo;s; bat I
was not able to; jou did not turnover
on the right side. To-day is Monday,
and yon turned oyer only yesterday;
and then I drew off your hoots, and put
a little pillow under your head. Yon
are better -as far as I can see,’ aren’t
yon,:”
“Yes,”.sighed Stepane. “What is the
matter with your lit le one?”
Anica looked tenderly at. the child she
was holding on her left arm, end wliose-
divopiug dead was resting on the ma
ternal shoulder. “Jt is his teeth, the
eye-teeth, you know. Between you and
him, yesterday, I did net know what I
should d«. Do-yon .wish sbme tea, gte--
pane Makarief?”' '
“Yes,” said the invalid, sitting sp
straight.
He was fulfill.
With rare exceptions, the Russian
peasant is not id very long; he dies or
recovers in a brief space of time. Sir-
pane’s strong nature, perhaps, would
not have" fared him, had it-not been
for Amca’s care, little os ic bad been in
her power to give. After a few days
he resumed Lis usual habits, and re-
Anjca continued
to light bis stove and prepare bis meals,
and lie accepted her services quietly, as
a matter of course, knowing that he
could, at the first opportunity, return
what she had done for him. The oeca.
soin soon presented itself.
The October rains had completely
saturated the ground. After one day
tilling the soil with a poor little horse,
birecVfor the occasion, Anica returned
home overcome with fatiguo, and feel
ing pains in all her limbs. Astonished
at not seeing his supper prepared, Ste
pane entered the poor cabin and found
the widow exhausted, near the table'
where the two children were dabbling
their spoons in the bowl which contain
ed their evening repast.
■ “What has happened to yon,” asked
the peasant, surprised.
“l am ill, little father,” answered An
ica, raising her weeping eyes towards
bim. “My limbs will no longer beri
me. Excuse me; 1 have not put your
house in order to-day. I shall go theft
to-morrow.” She gave a sigh and with
difficulty turned around.
Stepane looked at her without saying
a word; his ideas never came in great
abundance, and’each reflection cost him
a’ certain effort of mind.
“And my day’s work, to morrow,”
continued the widow, lamenting. “The.
field is only half ploughed, and it is
high time sowing was begun. I did
not even have strength enough to re
turn the horse to Ivan Petrof, who lent
it to me,”
“Why did yon borrow a horse of Ivan
Petrof,” asked Stepane in a rough
voice.
“He promised it to me in summer,
because I did several days work on Ms
potatoes. Ah, heavenly Father, If
only my children ate not made or
phans!”
Stepane looked at her with a enrions
expression. Without saying a word be
left the cabin rubbed down the steaming
horse, and led him back to his owner;
then he returned to the widow’s house.
‘The horse is now in his master’s barn,”
he said. “Go to sleep now: I am
goiDg to put the children to bed.”
“Thank yog, vury much, Stepane
Makurief,” said Anica, with a sigh of
relief; apd she threw herself all dressed
on her poor pallet, drawing, over ber
her reality covering. Sfepawe laid her
younger child in his cradle, already lot
small for him, placed the elder on the
bricks of the stove, covered both chil
dren, extinguished the little smoking
lamp, and left, wishing the poor family
a good night. The next day Aniea was
no-better. Step me sent in a neighbor
and bade her take care of the Pick wo
man, saying that lie would pay her;
then, without listening to the widow’a
lament itiour, lie went out and saddled
his best horse, mounted it and gayly
set off.
For a long time, ever since he return
ed from the city, had lie felt his heart
so light. He had his plan. He work
ed all day, and, towards noon, instead
of returning to his dinner at the village,
he regaled himself with at piece of
brown bread and an onion, which lie
had put into,his pocket, and was still
working wheh the first star appeared
in the heaven. Tho day had been clear
and beautiful, but the approaching frost
was felt in the chilly air,
“Why are you so late?”, a peasant,
passing along the road, called out to
him. “What are yo doing there? I
thought your field was tilled a long
while ago.”
“I am paying a debt,” answered Ste
pane, gesticulating to hi-s horse to start
him np, for he was falling asleep in tho
in the mopptonus round of the plowing;
“go, I shall be back before long.” It
was late when he returned to his neigh
bor’s; the children -had finished supper
and were being put to bed. With ayes
bright with fever Auiea followed lies
visitor’s movements, who threw his cap
on the table and seated himself, cross
ed his legs.
‘ ‘ Is there anything io eat here?” he
asked with a contented air.
“There is grnel and milk,” answered
the woman whom he _ had engaged to
take care of the widow.
“Stepane,” said Auicia from her cor
ner, “yonr stove is heated and your
d.untr is r-.-ady; I told my neighbor t -
prepare all that was necessary. ”
f‘Thankyon, but I prefer $0 take my
supper here; it is livelier. Do you
know, Auicia, you no longer shall tor
ment yourself over your field; it is
plowed and to-morrow we shall sow the
seed.”
“Oh,” fiflid thjj widow, crossing her
hands, '‘did yon do that?”
“Who else, - ’ answered Stepane, rub
bing Lis. knees with :in air of good bu
rner: “1 do not wish yon to piongh; it
is too Lard work. You shall keep my
liouse in order, and I wfil busy myself
with your field. There, hnshj it annoys
me to see any oce ery,” he added, to
cot short the widow’s grateful tears.

Three Men Treed by a Beau j>sd a
Mounded Beck—A Desperate
Figrt,
Dr, Boh Grier and a party of sports,
men of this place returned from a big
hunt in the wilds of Rotter connty re
cently, about twenty miles northwest of
Couderspoit, where they spent a week
in pnrsnit of game. Grier is well
known as a g-eat fox hunter and lover
of the chase and on this occasion he
met with an adventure^that js worth re
lating. Thursday last he left his party
at the cabin where they were encamped
in the forest, for the purpose of visiting
a lumber camp about four miles away;,
to see an acquaintance. He slung his
Remington over his shoulder thinking
he might get a shot at a deer or a bear.
About half way between the cabin and
the lumber camp was a stage road but
little traveled. . As he crossed the road
he came suddenly on a large buck. He
fired, inflicting a slight wound, which
secured only to irritate the animal. The
buck made a dash for him, and he was
compelled to climb a tree, having bare-
ly-time to escape being trampled to
death. In his flight, Rob dropped his
rifle, and he Intel no other weapon ex
cept- ihe ordinary hunter’s knife. His
situation was anything but comfortable,
b'lt as there was a possibility of relief
from a passing team he felt dtspored to
make the best of the situation.
After he had been up the tree about
an hour he beaid the erfuk of a rifle,
and almost immediately two of his’eom-
panions, by the name of Sutton and
C<-le, came rushing ly, pursued by a
bear of unnfrual size and activity. They
took refuge on a wild cherry tree,
which parted in two trunks at- a few feet
above the ground,. one part leaning
slightly and very rotteD, the whole
looking like two Irees. Once up the
tree they were safe from immediate
harm, if the bear could be kept from
climbing after them, In the meantime
Di” Bob, in a fit of desperation, con
cluded to risk an encounter with ‘the
buck. In preparing to descend he took
the precaution to fasten bis knife, the
only weapon he possessed, by a pieee
of twite' to his person, so that it might
not he losfcif it dropped from his hand.
Close by a hemlock had fallen, and the
routs at- one endand the branches at the
other kept ihe trunk of the tree nbont
two feet from the ground making
a jdiico of retreat to which he conkl
retreat if hard-pressed. He descended
cautiously, but the enraged animal was
oh the a lute and teshed upon him. His
great Strength was no match for the
buck, whieb crushedhim to the earth
and tried to stamp hint to death. On
Lis hands and knees, tunneled and bleed
ing. lie succeeded in reaching the fallen
hemlock and crawled under the trunk.
The buck could just touch him withhis
feet, bnt could not. harm him.
Anxiety and pain were wearing
Bob out, when he heard a crackling
noise at the root of the tree and a sharp
cry of pain from the buck, which is a
familiar sound to the'experienced hun
ter. Peering out cantionsly, he found
•lie deer securely held by the knooted
roots of the tree, and his right leg dan
gling loosely, it having been broken in
the effoi t to' escape. He was satisfied
from the'desperate struggles of the ani
mal that it could not extricate. itself,
ind watenipg a favorable opportunity
he pin rged his knife into the buck’s
heart, and sank down exhausted.
At this moment Dr. Holmes, who re
sided some miles from that place, and
who was attending a patient at the Mm.
!-er camp, drove np and found Dr. Gri
er, who was an old acquaintance, lying
upon the ground almost exhausted from
loss of blood. He took Grier into the
wagon, and after leaving a revolver nnd
knife in sight of the men up fbe eheriy
tree, drove off to the camp for help.
Meantime the bear, after many inef
fectual.attempts to climb the tree, gave
it np, and apparently relaxed liis
watchfulness' by lying down some dis
tance from the tree. Sutton, at this
lime, thought at least one of them
might escape and broaching the idea
to Cole, w-ho objected; knowing (hat re
lief would soon arrive. Watching an
opportunity. Sutton descended the tree
quietly, without being observed, and
aitor looting cantionsly for -some dis
tance sprang to Ids feet auil stilted for
the cabin with the speed cl the wind
Meeting the relief party hurrying np to
their assistance, he returned with them
*o the rescue of Cole. Meanwhile the
bear bad got up and moved to the foot
of the tree, winm, ap •n’-ent'y missing
one of she men, lie renewed Ids efforts
to climb it. Suddenly ihe decayad
part qf the tree fell with a crash,. The
bear was soriewhat stnDned, but fortu
nately Cole was not hurt, aDd be started
for the revolver and knife, which hj se
cured. The bear pursued’and o vertook
him and hugged him around the bodv.
Cole fired, but did not inflict a snffi
cient wound to make she bear relax

shot, with no better result. But one

VENSUVI-
Tho most extraordinary railway in
the world, perhaps, hns now been com
pleted. It is a line up the slopes of
Itioant Vesuvius, from t he level of the
Neapolitan Bay to the very edge of the
crater. Not so many years ago such a
project would have been ridiculed as
the very last outcome of fanaticism—
as who should suggest a terminus st Pom
peii or a good stution-among the mar
ble rain s’of Olympi 11 ’ Yet has been
done, anl Vesuvius has been scaled from
foot to summit by the iron legion.
The construction of the line, of course,
has been ‘peculiar; it is laid upon a sol
id pavement of-masonry, believedjto be
perfectly secure from the overflows on
either side of Java; there is no locomo
tive, but a powerful traction engine at
either end, and the methods of draught
are by ste el ropes working on grooved
wheels; and should these break there is
scarcely a possibility of the train re-
ceeding downwards at a dangerous pace
or to any considerable distance. For
these details we are indebted to the Di-
rillo, of Turin. That. journal states its
belief that, comparatively inexpensive
as the construction of this miniature
railway is, it may prove an 1 xcecdiDg
profitable speculation, considering
the perpetually increasing numbers of
tourists from the New World and all
parts of the Old who flock to that scene
centre of historical marvels. If, how
ever, for the very fact of its conception
and constraction alone, the Vesnvian
Railway would be entitled to rank
among the wonderful ideas and achieve
ments of the nineteenth century, it is
not to be compared with the’ gigantic
Alpine works. They were called for;
this, in many senses, wag not; it has
supplied a convenience, while they mot
great international necessities. Bnt it
is a characteristic of tho ago that can
answer both demands, root up an oak
cr pick up a needle; and the small line
that crawls up Vtsuvius is, perhaps, not
less an emblem of the epoch than the
mon-ster spanwhieh bridges Niagara.—
