A Wea'thy Serf,
Among the wealthiest bankers of
Rassia are the noble members of
House of Sehalonchine, A couple of
generations ago their ancestor was a
serf, owned by one Count Schermete!,
By dint of great industry thus serf, as
Ife (London) relates, amassed an
euvormous forture, All his efforts to
purchase his freedo n, however, were of
no avail, and offers as bigh as $250,000
were seornfully rejected by his master,
who seemed actually to enjoy the tor.
ture he inflicted on his millionaire slave,
who could neither bequeath his fortune
to his children, nor otherwise benefit
them without the consent of his lord, It
happened one day that the Count had
invited several friends to a dinner party,
and when his maitre d hotel laid before
him the menu for inspection, he was
aghast to find that oysters did not figure
among the Aors-douvres, In answer
to his indignant remontstrances, that
functionary assured him that oysters
were not to be had at any price, At
the heigit of the angry scene, which
was continued even in the presence of
the guests, Behalouchine was announced,
and in order to vent his wrath on the
unfortunate serf, the Count shouted
out, ‘‘Bhow the slave in. What do you
want, dog? 1f you want your freedom,
I tell yoa I will never grant it. 1 care
not for any offer yon may make—no,
not for a million roubles! A few dozen
oysters at this moment would be wortn
amore to me.” “Do I understand, my
lord,” asked the serf, ‘that you would
grant me my freedom if I procure them
for you?” ‘‘Yes,” replied the Count,
much to the amusement of his guests,
As it happened, Schalouchine had
brought a barrel of oysters with him as
8 gift to his master, knowing of the
great dinner party. They were brought
Ia; tne deed of freedom was immediately
mgned, and the Count, addressing his
former slave with the utmost cou s
said, “Sir, may I invite you to join us?

Westminster Abbay,
Westminister Abbey is no less typical
of the English nation than the pyramids
are of ancient Egypt. Designed origin-
ally as an ordinary piece of worship, it |
can be traced back to the seventh cen. |
tury. The common custom of burying |
beneath church floors, coupled with the
fact that all British sovereigns from
Edward the Confessor were crowned at
Westminster, combined by a gradual
process of growth to make the abbey
what it now is a memorial hall, With
the tablet to Longfellow the scope was
widened so a8 to take in the guild of
English authors, whether in Great
Britain or Greater Britain. By a pro
cess as unobtrusive as that going on in
these hot days in all our corn-felds,
