Rough ways through wild and stormy we ilhor,
And you must havo smooth paths to I rend,
And skies nil cloudless overhead. '

That sees you fresh and fair to-diy
As in Iho sprlng-tlmo of your years,

HPFICEIt.
11'mn the .Ytie Eclectic Muijminc
Oarrisoii lifu in a Rtii.sinn iirovlttcinl
town, which docs not possess a theatre,
not oven a bad one, is, you may tako
my word for It, very insipid and mono
tonous; in tlio morning, parades, two
hours in tlio riding school; at noon, a
frugal dinner at tlio regimental mess,
or perhaps nt a miserable restaurant;
and at night, cards and bowling, voila
tout, 'llicro was not a singlo family to
extend their hospitalities to us. We
treated each other at tho wino and beer
bhop, and saw nothing of God's beauti
ful world but our own green uniforms,
Tlicro was but ono person, who was
not in tlio servico, who associated witii
u?, a man perhaps forty years of ago.
His varied Information won for him a
certain authority among us, but his
sharp toiiguo and stem character did
not favorably impress tho young offi
cers. A certain mystery surrounded
him: ho looked like a truo Russian,
and yet had a foreign namo; iio had
served in tho army, ho said, but why
lio had iiulttod tho servico so early and
withdrawn to such wretched quarters
as Wologda, whero life was both ex
pensive and tedious, ho novor explain
ed. No matter how bad tho weather,
ho always went on foot, enveloped iu a
black worn-out paletot. For us officers
ho always kept an open table; thcro
were, indeed, only two or thrco dishes,
which his body servant and factotum
prepared with very moderate skill, but
as amends therefor, thcro was always
an abundanco of Burgundy and Cham
pagne, No ono know his circumstances
or ids menus of support, and no one
veu tilled to ask hitu; all Inquiries were
repelled by hist-tern aspect. Hisllbrary
consisted for tlio mcst part of military
works, besides tho romaucos of Gogol
and TurdcnjclV which hu willingly lent
without ever asking fur them again, as
ho himself never returned a borrowed
book.
His only occupation was pistol prac
tice and tho walls of his room were
pierced with holes liko tho interior of a
beehivo. A lino collection of beautiful
nnd costly pistols formed tho only dee
oration of hi room, and ills accuracy
In shooting was to great that each of us
would havo allowed him to shoot an
upplofrom our epaulettes without any
hesitation. Although wo often talked
about duels, Sylvio so ho was called
nover took part In tho conversation,
mid If any ono asked him if ho had
ever fought, ho would curtly answer In
tho afllrinatlvo without further remark;
but it was observed that tho question
wns irksomo to him ; wo all therefore
camo to tho conclusion that ills cou
sclenco, perhaps, tortured him, his dex
terity having probably led to fatal ro
FUlts. In no event would any of us havo
taken him fur a coward, as iu this caso
ills 'deportment forbado tho suspicion.
It was for this reason that the following
occurence created no littlo astonish
ment. About (en of us wero Inking supper
ono evening with Silvio; there was
hard drinking as usual, and after bup
per wo insisted upon our host being
banker. Ho nt first politely declined,
but finally yielding to tho wishes of his
guests, ho throw fifty ducats on tho ta
ble, while- wo seated ourselves around
It, and tho play began. Ho continued,
as usual, to play silently. Sylvio had
never been noted ns a generous player,
and ho was rcmarkablo iu always refus
ing to givo any explanation ; if ho had
over mado a mlstako to tlio disadvan
tage of n player, ho paid him without
any hesitation ; his own winnings lie
always noted on the tablo with a plcco
of chalk, ns was his well known custom.
But to-night thero was a young officer
iu company who had lately Joined tho
regiment, nnd did not know ofSylvio's
peculiarities. This now comer played
wildly; ho tmu!o a hot nud lost. Syl
vio hdzed his chalk, nud marked it
down on tho tablo. Tho lieutenant as
tonished, begged nit explanation but as
u-unl Sylvio went on quietly dealing;
tho lieutenant rubbed out (ho tally
from tho table. Willi the greatest calm
ness, Sylvio renewed it.
llfaled with wino nnd excited by
play nud tho laughter of his comrades ;
nnd Imagining himself insulted by
Sylvio, tho lieutenant suddenly seized
a candlestick from tho table, and hurl
ed it with blind passion at our host ; ho
skillfully avoided It, nnd arose pale
with wrath and with llamlng eyes,
while- nil of us kept an embarrassed si
lence. "Leno tho room, sir!" ho cried "and
bo thankful that It Is I to whom you
lmvo done this."
Tho lieutenant Immediately uroie
nud with tho words: "If you feel your
self insulted, Sylvio, I am nt your ser

Wo did not for a moment doubt but
that this scono would havo fatal con
sequences, and wonlready regarded our
CDinrndo ns n dead man. Wo played
only n short tlmo longer; for whon wo
saw that our host was giving no moro
attention to tho gamo, wo broko up nnd
went home, speaking of nothing but
tlio vacancy which would soon exist In
the bquadron,
Tho noxt morning as wo met lu tho
riding school wo inked each other, "Is
tho lieutenant still all vo?" But, behold
tho man camo In as fredi as over. To
our astonishment, ho had received no
ehallengo from Sylvio.
With nuzzled minds wo then visited
Sylvio, and found him in his court
yard, sending ball after ball through n
card which ho had nailed up ngniint
tho stable door. Ho received us as If
nothing had happened, and wns silent
about yesterday's occurrence. This
conduct on tho part of Sylvio caused
him to fall In tho estimation of tho offi
cers ; for tho lack of personal eourngo Is
deemed inexcusablo by military men,
among whom to bo brave is tho first
virtue. This unpleasant affair was,
however, gradually forgotten, and Syl
vlo recovered his former Influence aud
position in our circle. I, alone, could
not indueo myself to regard him witli
my former feelings, Before this event
my imagination had drawn mo to this
man, who appeared to boa mystery,
and I think that ho, too, preferred mo
to all tho rest, for ngalnst me ho nover
Indulged in sarcasm as ho often did
witli my comrades, but always treated
mo with great sincerity.
But nftcr this occurrence, I never
could banish tho thought that his honor
was stained. I could not look him fully
in tho face as formerly. Silvio's oyes
wero too sharp not to observo this; It
pained him, and it seemed to mo that
on boveral occasions ho tried to bring
about an explanation, but I evaded it
becausoitwas painful Jo mo, mid so at
last ho desisted.
Dwellers in largo cities can hardly
understand what a sensation tho most
trilling alfalr makes inn small town.
Thus tho arrival of tho malls throws a
small town In commotion. Rvnro

ouicers, one expecting money from
home, another lottors, and uuothor
newspaper), which soon becamo com
mon property and wero dovoured with
eagerness. They usually broko the seals
of their letters on tho spot, and shared
tlio contents with their comrades. Svl
vlo also received his letters in our mall
bag, and ono day ho received ono which
ho broko open with great impatience
Ills eyes kindled as they glanced over
it; but as every ono was occupied with
ills own matters, his excitement was
not remarked.
"Gentleman," ho cried with an ex
cited tone, "I shall leave hero lo-nMit.
I therefore beg you to honor moat noon
with your corjpany for tho last tlmo,
And you, too, captain," ho said, turn
ing to mo. "I shall count on you."
bowed silently, and ho departed. We
dispersed, with tho understanding that
we would meet at noon at his rooms.
At tho appointed hour I went there,
and found my comrades already lissom
mtii. wo went to dinner, and our
agreoablo host, to day almost nervously
cheerful, soon infected us all with his
gay humor and tho corks ilew, tho wino
glasses wero filled and emptied moro
rapidly every moment, nnd wo all
wished the departing ono good luck on
his Journey. Ho took a friendly leave
of ench of his guests, and as I was also
about to pay my respects, hu detained
mo. "I beg you to stay n few moments,
I havo something to say to you ulone."
I remained. Wo sat down in silence
on his divan, smoking our chibouques,
Sylvlo's gaiety had disappeared, his
face was deathly pale, but his oyes glow
ed through tlio cloud of smoko which
ho blow from him. So ho continued
for n few minutes, when ho at hist
broko tlio sllonco which was becoming
painful uud disagreeable,
"Between us an explanation is neces
sary," ho began in a hoarse, falteritig
voico; "for tho opinion of tho rest I
euro very little, but I liko you, and J
do not wish to depart leaving you un
der a false Impression. You wero cer
tainly surprised that 1 did not call that
swaggerer to account, Is It not truo?
And was that not also tho reason why
you withdrew from mo? You will ob
serve, captain, I could easily Justify
my conduct on tho ground of magna
nimity, but I nover lio! Hnd I been
in a position to meet him without any
risk on my part, had my own llfo been
exposed to no danger, I certainly should
not havo presented him with his."
Fairly shocked by such cynical can
dor, I stared at him. I had cortnlnly
not expected such an avowal from him.
"You look astonished," ho continued;
"but I was forced to net so. I hnd no
right to expeso my life, for six years
ago I received a blow on tho faco, nnd
ho who gavo It Is still living."
Jly astonishment Increased.
"And did not fight nftor such an in
sult V" I earnestly asked.
"Does nu lusuperablo object keep you
from your enemy'."1
"Oh I I fought him and hero Is tho
proof." Ho took from a box an old
hussar cap, which was perforated Just
nbovo whero tho forehead would bo

ho sought my friendship: but I, Jealous
of my presumed rival, in tho character
of n lion, coldly repelled him. He
took tho repulse In good humor, but I,
feeling Injured, began to hate lilm.
This troubled him little; but his suc
cess among my comrade-), and with tho
ladles, set me almost wild. I sought
to fix n quarrel ou him.biit ho remained
calm, answering my nttaeks with still
wittier ions mots, nnd laughed mo
down ; and, what was worst or all, ho
had oil tho laughers on his sldo. At

could restrain my hatred no longer. I
saw him ihero ngain.lho petted darling

with a witticism, nnd ho struck mo In

terror: tlioy separated us and wu both
left tho ball-room.
"I stood at tho rendezvous, awaiting
with impatience my tletested enemy.

lots were drawn and fortunodeclarcd for
him. Ho took a short aim, and his
ball perforated my cap hero. Now it
was my turn. I eagerly scanned his
face, with n hope of seeing symptoms
of fear in vain! Ho continued quietly
eating hi) cherries, nnd shooting tho
stones toward me. This self-posjcsion
only embittered me tho more. What
is tho uso of killing u man, I thought,
who cares so littlo about life? A wick
cd thought struck me. I lowered my
ljistolo nud cried; 'I fear, Count, that
you nro not ready yet to meet God ; as
you relish your breakfast so wonder
fully, I will wait till you have fin
ished.' "Oh, you do not disturb mo iu the
least! Do ns you pleaso. You havo
the right to shoot at mo, and you may
fire sooner or later, ns you please; It is
indifferent to me.'
"Did you hear that?" I said turn
lug to tho seconds. 'If It is Indifferent
to this gentleman whether I Uro sooner
or later, then I will not shoot to-day.'
"Tho meeting was over. I resiguod
from tho regiment, and camo to this
place. But overy day I thought of my

Ho drew n letter from his pocket
which ho had received in tho morning.
"I nin Informed that a certain person

In love. You suspect who tho person

when lie ale the cherries."
Wi'h these words, ho sprang up and
paced tho room witli hurried steps, liko
a tiger in his cage. Tho servant an
nounced that all wns ready. Sylvio
pressed my hand and sprang into the
carriage which contained but two
pieces of baggage, his portmanteau and
plstol-caic. Ho drove off at full xpeod.
Years passed on. T heard no more
of Sylvio nnd had nearly forgotten
him. I had long quitted tho Hcrvice,
which brought mo no laurels or pro
motion, nml was living on my .small
estato In tho tohilrw'scheu deimrt-
ment. Although I attended to my
own ninilrs, which consumed a irreat
deal of my time, I still had many ldlo
hours, when I missed the intercourse
of my former life. But what was most
difficult to accustom myself to. was tho
loneliness ot the long winter nights.
Up to dinner-time, I killed tho day
tolerably well! I went over tho fields,
talKcd to my Daillffs, inspected the now
buildings, Ac, but when tho tho sun
went down, I did not knem what
to do with mysolf. Tho few books
which I had found in tho chests
and cupboards had been read throng!
long ago. I had heard to weariness
tho fables and ghost stories of mv old
housekeeper lClroIowa, nud tho bongs
of tho peasants mado mo tad! and so In
moments of despair, I oven resorted to
drinking. But that unfortunately gavo
mo tho headache, nud I was also afraid
of becoming ndrunknrd, iho worst fate
of all. 1 had no near neighbors, so I
hit upon tho plan of dining lato and
going early to bed, I thus lengthened
thodays, and shortened tho long nights.
Four worsts distant from my estate
was situated tho castle or Count Bel
onskey, uufortunately inhabited at
that tlmo only by tho castellan: tlio
Countess had been thcro but once, for a
month during tho first year of her
marriage. In tho second spring of my
tedious" country life, n rumor sproad
all at oucu that tho beautiful Countess
would pass the summer with her hus
band ut the eastlo, and, In fact, at tho
beginning of Juno thoy both arrived.
Tho arrival of a rich neighbor lu tho
country, whero ovory ouo suffers from
ennui, Is an event of vast Importance
a world-shaken occurence. The noblo
families of tho neighborhood, tliolv ser
vants, and tho peasants, could speak of
nothing elso for two mouths before tho
arrival of tho Count, aud for three
months ufter his departure; indeed, I
must confess that tho intelligence- of tho
arrival of tho noblo pair made my blood
run quicker also: I burned with curi
osity to boo them, On thu very first
Sunday, I set out to pay my respects to
their excellencies.
A gold-laced lackey lu hnudsomu liv

and Persian cirpot. I hnd boon so lung
unaccustomed lu my littlo villngo to seo
such n display or wealth, that I must
admit It to my shiune, I felt embarrass
ed by It. With tho agitation orncoun
tryman approaching tho minister with
ti petition and desiring un nudloncc, I
awaited tho coming of my distinguished
neighbor. Tho door opened, nud a man
of about thlrty-llve, with a noblo and
handsome countenance, entered the
room. Ho approach d mo frankly nnd
courteously, as I uttered a few words of
excuse for taking tlio liberty ; but ho
Interrupted mo at once: "No eompll
infills, neighbor." We sat down, nnd
Ids gay and unconstrained manner
quickly bnnlshed my timidity, and I
began to be myself again. Tho Count
rsi now camo In, nnd all my embarrass
ment returned. The Count Introduced
me, mid Iho two, In order to glvo me
tlmo, conversed together rrcely, and
treated mo like an old acquaintance. In
mo meanwhile 1 fiponcd thu books on
too table, looked at the pictures on the
wall, ono or which especially nttracled
my attention. It represented n Swiss
landscape; but it was not the scono

skill which drew my gaze, but u mark

"I urn sure of hitting thouco of hearts

"Really?" cried tho Countci-s. "That

Wasll?''
"Thcro wa- a lime, when I was in

"Then I will wager that you cannot

It is tho exact truth."
"Ah ? What was the man's namo?"
"Sylvio, your Excellency."
"Have you known him?" cried tho
Count, springing from hlschalr. "Have
you known him? You have known
Sylvio?"
"Why should I not? Wo were friends;
ho lived JnWologda as my comrade.
But for fivo years I have heard nothinir

"Yes, I was. And if you wero a
friend of his, ho has certainly told you
of a curious story."
"Ah, ha, you mean the blow ho onco
received?"
"I do. Did ho tell you tho namo of

"No, ycur Excellency."

"It was, and tho bulletaln the picture

"I beg yu, Wasll, do not tell that

"But I must, Nadejda. This gentlo-
