the patriotic dramatist in c niiilTuble ditiicul
ties the Church lnviuir played so importaut a
part m many of those trouotous times whicn he
would l.aturaiiy op most ae-irous to niusirate."
Au extract is given trom one of O .trovsky'a
play, in which there is u lively sketch ot ttie
loeuli niauuers of the Russian town, h lollops:
"Kouuh, 6ir, are tLe manm-rs in our town,
very roueh! Amonp our people you 6ee
noihini; bill actual poverty and brutality. And
we shall never pet rid ol tint; for no one can
by honest work pet mire than his daily bread.
As toon as a man hns tu i le any money he
Thealus to pet the poor uuder liim, o as to make
still more out oi what they jiold him without
recompense. Do you kooiy, 6ir, what your
uncle, Suvel I'rokolevich, said to the bartro
matter? ihe uiujiks camo totho burpomastfr
to complain that th -y could not pot paid prj
rciiy. So the burporaaster begau to sty to
liim, 'Listen, Havel I'lokolevich: why dotii thou
not rav thy mujiks properly f Kvery day they
come unto me wuh coinp'aints.' Your uncle
slaps the buraomaster ou the shoulder, sayimr,
'Is it worth your while, your worship, to dispute
about such trill-s? Many meu work tor me in
the course ota jear. io'.v, uudcritaurt me; 1
cu u copeck off each man's pay, and so I make s
round sum, and that's a pood reason lor mu
doing 60.' That's how it is, sir. And then,
just cou.-ider how they b'have towarJs each
other 1 As traders they cut aaythe prouu 1
from under each other's led, and that not so
much from preed an from envy. Th"y squabble
with each other. They invite drunken cainov
uiks into their lolty balls. Such chinovuiks!
meu who have nothing huiun in their leatures
from whose laces the huuinn countenance
Las been rubbed out and wuu, for a small
pittance, will draw up terrible statements on
ttaruped paper to a ueiphbar's hurt. JVrbaps
they begiu a lawsuit, and then there is uo cud
to their miseries. r't they co to law here,
theu iu the higher Court, wlic-ru other lawyers
are already expr etiup them and cltppini? their
Lauds tor joy. The btory is soou told; but the
suit is not to quickly cnili-d. The lawyers lead
them on and pull th"Ui about, aud they seem to
enjoy all the pulling about. 'I,' they eiy, 'shall
Lave to pay up, but it will cost my lrieud there
a copeck too.' "
Then tbe speaker pecs on to complain of the
conduct of bis neighbors at lioin. They 0U4ht
to be out of doors un the line sutnniir evenings,
he says, but they shut themselves in, bolt their
door, and turn ibeir dogs loose.
"1'erhaps you think they do ths.t to pray to
God. Not so, sir; nor is It on account of thieves
that they lock their doors, but that no one may
eee bow they piiud the laces ot their people and
tyrannize over their families. How many un
seen tears are shed behind those bars 1 How
much drunkenness and darlt debauchery goes
on there I it is all concealed. No one sees any
thing of it. 'Look at me if you like,' they say,
in public, out in the streets, but have oothiug
to do with my behavior at home, Thai's why 1
Lave bolts and bars and fierce dos,' they tav.
'Ihe lamily,' say tbey, 'is a secret thing.' We
know what soit of tecrets those are. Out of
those sicrets they only pet a ideasure; all the
rest have to bowl like wolves."
Another character is U anskova, a cross
drained, tyrannical owner ot two thousand
serls, whose peculiar eccentricity it is to te
away Ironi t heir parents any of the joun? uUls
on hr estate who strike ber fancy, educate
them iu ber household, aud tind ntubauds fr
them. The result is that they are educated as
ladies, and have to marry poor uud ignorant
men whom they never knew.
"Not it soul dares to say a word, Whatsver
win sfilprta t.hp (rirl m ust innrrir.
nnd sometime the brides don't olease tho'r hus
bands, nnd the husbands dosb't please thrir
brides. Then she's terribly ansry. Once, she
wanted to marry one of her maids to a shoo
keener in our town, but he, who was a fello
without any polish, took it into his head to
object. 'The uSrl doesn't plciss me,' says he.
13esides, 1 don't want to got married yet.' Bit
Fbe laid a couiidiuut before a burgomaster and
the protopope. They soou brought the foolish
IpIIow to reason.'
Iu moit cases the marriage Ukcs place with
out any'oue during to matte tiie stigtitest objec
tion, and as soou as the ceremony is over tha
old ladv suvsto the bride:
"Vou've been lining with mo in ease and
luxury all this time. Now joa're going to
Biarry a poor man, and you'll have to live in
Tinvprtv. nd to work hard, and do your duty.
It wasn't for your sake that I did anything lor
you. It was a fancy of mine to do so. And you
mustn't think about the lile you used to lea 1
here. Bear jour proper position iu mind, and
your utter nisiuniocince."
Unfortunately thre nmriages never turn out
well. The wo:neu pineawayani tuo men mane
husband, for thev know that, however
dnmUpii and dissolute they may be, tha oli
lft.lu will nmtcpt them.
