Be says: About the middle of July, on one of the hottest days in summer, my friend Was traveling in the. South -bush' on his tour of inspection.. He had dialed sumptuously at .one of the Zavoda;andistarted onward in the evening to enjoy the cool breeze'of the night. Liu?, there are sonic nights which will -not cool, (I have often found such) and c this was one of them. His carriage had , been stand ing in the burning sun, and had, bedtime so thoroughly heated that the inside was like an oven. When his servant made his bed for. the night, my friend found that it was impUs slide to sleep in his - clothes; he consequently . undressed, and waa'covered over with a sheet. In this way the night.;was passed pretty well. At last daylight appeared, and.the sun shed his rays over the mountain tops, leaving the deep valleys in this shade. , \ - They had now arrived at a station' in the mountains, and the horses were changed while he slept. The servant - and Ihe - yeinst chick, seeing the master sleeping comfortably, saw no reason why they should not drink _lea.— Into .the hou.Se they went, and were soon -en joying a' quiet glass, forgetting ;,both steeds mid carriage. 'Whether it was - - the snoring of the inmate which frightened the horses, or something else, .1 catrtiot tell, but off they , started, and rapidly got into full-speed. The carriage beg:in to. bound _over :the rough road, tossing its o6cupantsftom side to side; this soon roused him, wheri;sto his hor ror, he discovisred that he was aloe and at* the mercy of' four horses . abreast, tearing along like wild steeds.of the Steppe for"the first time yoked td a vehiale.. To pimp out was impossible; so he'clutched the sides of the tarantass, trembling with fear. 'On they went like flings till they' reached a steep tqll, which made them gradually slacken their speed. lie knew the road, and that .a still deeper descent awaited him on the other side, of some three or fisur versts in length: His fears, consequently, were so terrible that he stood - watehing for the' moment when he could jump out.. 'S ~ . At last, observing that he was at the top, he could endure his position no longer • so out,he sprang,. fortunately without accident. The sight of his strange figure frightened the horse's, and on they silent again at full speed; He declares that he thanked for his Safe= ty, and quietly - sat down onus fallen tree to reflect on his situation.: Shoes or stockings he had none; in short only one linen gar ment, and that somewhat scanty ; and he was in the middle of the forest, surrounded• by hosts of mosquitoes humining about him,evi. dently ravenous s for his blood. He had not' sat long in this plight, when he discovered a peasant woman on horseback coming towards him. •. _. She had approached very near, when, stici denly getting sight of the singular apparition on the fallen tree, she pulled up her horse and looked aghast. He `addressed her in a very tender tone, saying"Afaitalikonzoi, dy auira " (Come here. my mother.) . Shs. mustered courage to ask what he :wanted.— " Your petticiat." was the reply. - "I have but.onei take it and spare ,me r she mur._ mured almost inaudibly, dismounting -and handing him the garment. He !list no time` in putting it on, .and then marChed along the road.. Shortly afterward his servant, and driver 'came up it full gallop, and were much relieved when they beheld him safe, but could scarcely maintain their gravity SA eight of his m^ ordiniry costumos.

Another man gets sick like.the first one.

NoW, that man's time to die Iniecome, and all the doctors in thk world couldn't cure. One year I work in the corn field; plow deep, dig up grass, and make nothing but nubbins. Next year I work -the same way, the rain mid de* comes and we must make a crop. have been here going bard upon fifty years. -Every day since I ave been in 'this World I see the sun-rise in the east and set id the west.
