MAJlllIKI) IX A SXO U'S TOllM. A RUSSIAN STOKY. About the year 1811, memorable in Rus sian history, there lived upon his estate of Nematadof a rich landed proprietor, Oa biilovitch by name, noted for Insatiability and hospitality. His house was always open to his friends and neighbors, who used to congregate there every evening the older ones to enjoy a game cf cards with the host and his wife I'etiftwna, the younger ones in the hope of winning the favor of Mario, a beautiful eirl of seven teen, the only daughter and heiress of Ga bi ilovilch. Marie read novels, which naturally ren dered her very sentimental and romantic. Under these circumstances lore was not long in coming. The object of her affec tions was a Russian cadet, with scarcely a penny in his pocket, who resided in the neighborhood, and was then at home on leave of absence. As a matter of course he returned her love with equal ardor. Marie's parents had strictly forbidden her thinking of such a union, and they treated the lover with just as much friendliness as they would have shown to an ex-collector of taxes. The pair meantime carried :n a correspondence, and met clandestinely be neath the shade of the pine grove or behind the oM chapel, where they vowed eternal fidelity to each other, complained of the severity of fate, and devised beautiful plans for the future. After some time they na turally came to think that should their pa rents persist in'npposing the union it might in the end be consummated secretly, and without their consent. The young gentle- , man was the first to propose this, and the young lady soon saw the expediency of it. The approach of winter put an end to these stolen into views, but their letters increased in frequency and waimth. In each of Vladimir Nickolovictli's he con jured his beloved to leave the paternal iof and consent to a clandestine. marriage "We will disappear for a short while," he wrote, "come back, and cast ourselves at the'feet of our parents, who, touched by such constancy, will exclaim, 'Come o our a ms, dear children !' " Mario was long ir resoh.te. At length it wasagieed that she should not appear at supper on a day ap pointed, but should retire to her room un der a pretext of indisposition. Her maid had been let into the secret. JJofh were to escaie by a back door, in front of which they would find a sleigh ready to convey them a distance of live wersts to the chapel ofJadrino, where Vladimir and the priest would await them. Having made her preparations, and writ ten a long apologelical letter to her parents, Marie retired betimes to ln r room. She had been complaining all day of a head ache, and this was certainly no mere pre text, for the nervous excitement had in truth indisposed her. Her father and mother nursed her tenderly, asking her again and again : "How do you feel now? Are you no better?" This loving solici tude cut the girl to the heart, and with the approach of evening her excitement increased. At supper she ate nothing, but rose betimes and bade her parents good night. The lattei kissed and blessed her, as was their wont, while Marie could scarcely repress her sobs. Having reached her room, 6he threw herself into a chair and wept aloud. Her maid finally suc ceeded in comforting and cheering her up. Later in the evening a snow-storm arose. The wind howled about the house, causing the windows to rattle. The inmates had hardly gone to rest when the young girl, wrapping herself in her clothes nnd furs, and followed by the servant ith a poit. mantean. left the paternal t oof. A sleigh drawu by three horses received them, and away they went at a furious speed. Vladimir had also been active through out the day. In the morning he had called upon the minister atjadrino to arrange for the ceremony, and then went to look up the required witnesses. The first ac quaintance to whom he applied was nn officer on half-pay, who expiessed himself quite ready to serve him. Such an adven tnrc, he said, carried him back to the days of his own vouth. He dctertniued Vladi- . mir to remain with him. There nccord i ingly appeared at diuner Surveyor Schmidt. with his spurs and mustache, accompanied , by Ispravnik's son, a lad of seventeen, J who had just enlisted with the Chiang. lioth immediately promised V ladimir their assistance, and after a cordial embrace the happy lover parted from his three friends to complete his preparations at home. Having dispatched a trusty servant with a sleigh for Marie, he got into a one horse sleigh himself and took the road leading j to J ad tine. Scarcely had he set off when the storm burst forth with violence, and soon every trace of the way was gone. The entire horizon was covered with thick, yel low clouds, discharging not flakes, but masses of snow ; at last it became impossi ble to distinguish between earth and sky. ttl Vain Vladimir beat about for the way ; Ii is horse went on at a random, now leap ing over banks of snow, now sinking into ditches, and threatening every moment to overturn the sleigh. The insupportable thought of having lost the road had be come a certainty. The forest of Jadrino was nowhere to be discovored, nnd after two hours the jaded animal 6ecmed ready to drop to the ground. At length a kind of dark line became visible in the distance. Vladimir urged his horse forward and reached the skirt of a forest. He now hoped to reach his destination soon, as it was easier to pursue his way iu the forest, into which the snow had not yet penetra ted. Vladimir took fresh courage; how ever, I here were no signs of Jadrino. IJy degiees the storm abated and the moon shone brightly. Ho finally reached the op posite skirt of the forest. Still no Jadrino; but a group of four or five houses met his view. His knock at the door of the near est was answered by the old mau, "What do you want?" "Where lies Jadrino?" asked Vladimir. 'About ten miles distant." i At this reply Vladimir felt as if his sen tence of death was being announced to him. "fan yon procure me a horse and take me thither?" he asked. "We have no horse." "Or at least a guide. I will pay any price." 'Veiy well, my son can accompany the gentleman." After a little while, which seemed an eternity to Vladimir, a young fellow made his appearance, holding a thick staff in his hand, and they took their way across the snow covered plain. "What o'clock is it?" asked Vladimir. "It is already past midnight." And in very truth the sun began to gild the cast when they arrived at Jadrino. The church door was locked. Vladimir paid and dismissed his guide, and then in stantly hastened to the ministei'sdwelliu. What he there learned will appear fio.u the sequel. At Nemarndof the night passed quietly. In the morning' the master of the liniise and his wife arose as usual, and proceeded to the dining-room, Gabriel Gabrilovitch in his woolen jacket and nightcap, Petrow ua in her morning gown. After they had breakfasted Gabriel sent one of the gills up to inquire how Marie was. She re turned with a message that her young mistress had passed a sleepless night, but that she was reeling better, and would come down presently. Mario soon after entered the room, looking exceedingly pale, yet without the least perceptible agi tation. "How do 3'oti feel this morning, love?" inquired her father. ."Iletter," was the answer. The day passed as usual, but instead of the looked for improvement a ret ions change for the worse took place in Marie's condition. The family physician was sum moned from the nearest town, who found hor in a state of most violent fever. For fourteen days she lay ntthe point of death. Nothing trauspired of the nocturnal flight, for the maid took good care to keep silence on her own account, and the others who knew of it never betrayed themselves wilh a syllable, so greatly did they dread Gabrilovitch's anger. Marie, however, spoke so incessantly of Vladimir, when delirious, that her . mother could not remain in doubt as to the cause of her illness. Having advised With a few friends, her parents resolved to let Marie marry the young soldier, see ing that one caunot escape one's fate, and, besides that, liches do uot always lead to happiness. The patient recovered. During her ill ness Vladimir had not once shown his face iu the house, and it was resolved to apprise him of his unexpected good-fortune. But, to the as'.ouishment of the proud proprie tor of Nemaradof, the cadet declared that he should never again cross the threshold of his house, begging them at the same time to forget utterly so wretched a crea ture as he, .to whom death alone would give repose. A few days afterward they learned that Vladimir had again returned to the army. It was in the year 1812. No one uttered his name in Marie's presence, and she herself never made mention of hitn in any way. Two or three months had elapsed, when one day she found his name among the list of the officers who had distinguished themselves at the battle of Borodino and Veen mortally wounded. She fainted away and had a relapse, from which she re cor cred but slowly. ' : Not long after her father died, bequeath- iiig the whole property to her. lint riches iwere notable to comfort her; she wept with her mother, and promised never to leave her. They sold Nemaradof and re moved to another estate. Suitors thronged around the wealthy and amiable heiress ; but none of them received the slightest . encouragment from her. Often did her t mother press her to Choose a husband she would merely shake her head in silence. Vladimir was uo more ; he died at Moscow on the evening before the entrance of the French. Marie seemed to hold his mem ory sacred ; she carefully preserved the books they had read together, hissketches, the letters he had written to her--in brief, everything that could serve to keep alive the remembrance of the ill-fated youth. About this time he war, fought with such glory to the allies, of which Russia was one, came to an end. The victorious regiments returned home, and large crowds of people flocked together to greet them. Officers who had gone forth as beardless youths came back with the grave faces of warriors, and their gallant breasts covered with badges. A Lieutenant of hussars, Wurmin by name, with an interestingly pale face, and decorated with the cross of St. George, having obtained leave of absence for sev- I eral months, took up his residence ujon I his estate, which adjoined Mario's present abode. The young girl received him with far more favor than she had hlthertoshowu to any of her visitors. They resembled each other in many respects ; both were handsome, intelligent, taciturn and re served. There was something mysterious about Wurmin, which roused the curiosity atid interest of Marie. His affection for her was 60011 unmistakable ; he showed her every conceivable attention ; but why did he never speak of love, though his dark, ardent eyes would rest upou hcr's half dreamily, half with an expression that 6eemed to announce an early and pos itive declaration? Already the neighbors spoke of their marriage as a settled matter. and Mother Petrowna was more than happy at the thought of her daughter finding a worthy husband at last. One morning, when the latter was sitting in the parlor, Wurmin entered and asked for Marie. ' She is ill the garden," answered her mother. "You will find my daughter there if you would like to see her." The young officer hastily walked out into garden. l'etrowa crossed herself, mnimuring "God.be praised ! To-day, I trut, his visit will have some result." Wurmin found his beloved, clad hi white, sittiug under a tree by the side of the pond, a book uton her lap, like a heroine of romance. TheiisualsaIUtatious over, Wurmin who was strangely agitated, told how he had long yearned to pour out his heart before her and begged that she would listen to him a few moments. She Closed her book and nodded in tokens of assent. "I love you," said Wunuin "I love you passionately.' Marie cast, down her eyes. "I have been impiudelit enough to wo you, tohearj'on daily. It is now too late to escape my fate. The thought of your lovely face, of your sweet voice, will hence forth constitute the joy and the anguish of my existenae. But 1 have a duty to per foim toward you ; I must reveal to yon a secret, which has placed au insurmountable barrier between us." "That barrier," murmured Marie, "exists always I could never have become yours.' "I know," replied Wurmin, in a suit pressed voice, "that you have loved before; but death thiee long years of mourning dearest Marie, do not deprive me of my last comfort, of the blissful thought that you might become mine if- - " "Cease, I conjure you t You rend my hcait!" "Yes, you will grant me the comfort of knowing that you would have become mine ; but, most wretched of rueu that I am I am already married 1" Marie gaaed up at him with a look of as tonishmeut. "Yes, married for four years," continued the Lieutenant, "and I do uot know either who my wife is, where she is, or whether I shall ever meet her." "Explaiu yourself more clearly," said the girl. "I love youj Marie, and will confide in you. You shall know all, and you will not judge too severely an act of youthful levity. It was iu the year 1812. I happened to be on my way to Wilna, with the intention tf joining my regiment. Late in the evening I reached a station, and had already ordered that the horses should be instantly put to again, when a fierce suow-storiu suddenly arose. My landlord and the postilion ur gently advised ine to postpone my depart ure, but I was determined to go in spite of the rough weather. The postillion had got it into his head that, by crossing a small river, the banks of which were perfectly well known to him, he should find a shorter route. He missed the right crossing, how ever, and got into a region to which ho was an "Mi tire stranger. The storm continued to rage ; at length we descried a light in the distance. We made for it and slopped before a church, from the brightly-illuminated windows of which the light shone. The door was open, three sleighs were in front of it, and I saw several peraon in the Vestibule. One of them called to ruts : "This tt-ay ! this way!" I got out and walked toward the vestibule "The -person who had called advanced toward me." 'Great Heaven V he Raid, 'how late yotl come !

Marie also gazed in silence ou the ground. "And have you never discovered what became of the poor girl ?"' she finally asked. "Never.

At the time my culpably fiivolous prank seemed to me a matter of so little moment that as sooli as there was no longer any pursuit to fear I went to sleep in the sleigh and did not wake until we arrived nt another station. The servant v horn 1 had wilh me was killed in battle ; all my efforts to find out the postillion who drove us proved unavailing, and so every clew seems indeed lost by which I might again find the scenes of that folly, for which I have now to suffer so heavily.'
