The 'sarcasm is less true at the present day than under Louie XV ; but it has not lost all its point. Notwithstanding the elegance and polish' of manners existing in Russian society, it hides in its bosom the corruption and egotism which civilization rather veils than effaces. This appears in the dchnestic relations; - and especially in the tie, of mairisige—with which convenience has snore to do than affection. Ambition, apd the passion for play are the chief moving causes among the noblesse of St..Petershuigh. When here and there; from the treacherous surface of society, some romantic or tragic incident surges into view, it ex cites, among 'the languid circles of the aristocracy, less of interest than:astonishment.

On her the eyes of half .the no bles and chevriliers were fixed; Her figure was well developed and exquisite insymmetty, and she possessed a. heauty,rare and highly esteemed.in the northern capital. The women there have genei ally blue eyes and little complexions, semen..nes of Marble 'Whiteness, with blonde tliair and slight ft gores., The abundart and raven locks of Marie the clear brown of her cheek, colored with the richest tint„ef sunset —her dirk, expressive eyes, veiled by their long lashes, and' shooting (drib the moat bewitching glances ever and anon— 'filled all whnlooked.at her with admiration. §lie had a naive and engaging manneran arch soft. ness—a 'piquant variety—in a word—a' finished coqUetry—that rendered .her _charms irresistible, and cave her the superiority over,,the divinities that had heretofore reigned in the salons--of the capital. Mademoiselle wore this evening, with a grace that could not he risfalleit, the ancient nation al costume. The' Russian bonnet formed the dia dem; the cordage . was of a ',taint gold cord, and fastened by. a knot of sapphires; the short skirt was of scarlet. Her hair was braided in 'several tresses, tied at the end with rosettes of silk and gold. She moved through the dance with a grace that enchanted evr4ybody. • When the music ceased a there was a movement among the 'group of youthful admirers who had crowded to gaze upon her, and'eager to claim the honoisof lierband for the quadrille. All. drew back suddenly. A man of lofty nod Majestic figure, superbly dressed, 'but not in any fanciful costume, came forward, and, hosing gracefully, addressed Mademo i selle K—. For the rest of the evening hie attention was assiduous. Pio one else ventured to approach the beauty distinguished by the 'Llevotion'of the Em yieror. file eyes were perpetually fastened on her face with an expression , of intense admiration ; while Marie seemed, on her part, insensible to his homage: She kept her eyes fixed on the ground, Or raised them timidly only at intervals ; plied briefly and coldly to the conversation of ha Illustrious companion. Once only she changed countenariee.. It was when her glance tell on' a young man standing at a little distance, and atten tively regarding her. This was Paul, de 13„ one of the aid-de-camps of the Emperor,:and her alli anced'husband. r,, The-_emotion betrayed in the- quiet/ blest: that rose to Marie's cheek, did not escape the attention of the Emperor; nor did be fail to • perceive the young - officer. The glances he, saw exchanged gave a whole history - to his quick perception. He led the fait'girl to-a seat; he seated himself beside her ; and Marie saw herself the envy .of - the bril liant circle That surrounded him.

Marie's heart-beat high; a glow was on her cheek; the reign of-vanity had commenced. - When the yriutig maid of honor left the salon her imperial admirer himself conducted her.

'Marie rose to meet him-as he entered her boudoir. She was paler than the evening before; but even more exquisitely lovely. She smiled and: extended her hind, which the young man pressed passionately to his lips= • 'My own %fie!' he murmured, as he seated hirriself at 'her feet, still holding her , fiand in his: And the young girl replied to his epithets of endearment, bending folidliover him, till her ra ven curls touched his forehead.- .1 must leave you.

Without saying a word, Marie took up the scis sors, severed one of her glossy ringlets, and gave , it to her liwer. 119 placed the prcciotis gift in his bosom.. And it seemed in truth a talisman, to , bring success to the'arms of the young officer.— While theintrepidity,courage and heroism he dis-' played in,pghting the Emperor's battles, won him tholughest military honors, and a fame that shed lustrwven oii the proud name of his ancient house —he' lever received a wound. Eighteen months afterwards he returned to St. Petersburgh—vvear ii.g on his breast the cross of St. Anne—and the treasured lock with which ho never parted, best his heart. - A year and a halfbad passed.. Two young offi cers were walking along the prfnciple street of the capital.' One of them was Paul de just returned from Caucasus; the other, an officer of the chasseurs of Finland. The - face of the for Mer wore an expression of disquiet and pain ; but his lip was ended. in generous scorn. 'lt were base," he said, after a few momenta of agitated silence, "to heed such a rumor, or suffer a thought•of 'suspicion to divide us for one moment. Marie false! have she. not call me faith less, since I have been two hours in St. Peters burgh, and am not already at her feet.' , • !Listen, first; replied the other. 'l'll tell you no mote than I. myself, witnessed. it is not ma ny weeks since I was on service at Tsarakoe 8610, when the court was there; I was walking-through the Chinese garden, and passing close by' a thick arbor, heard voices ..within. One was that of a man, and by turns supplicating and commanding: the other a ferriale voice, •that spoke in eager, though.. timid accents. Unwilling to intrude on the secrets of personages who might be, for aught' I knew, too high to_render knowledge consistent with myeafety, I turned.my steps in another di-, rection. A ' moment. after;,l saw a-tall figure, whose majestic proportions could not be-mistaken, *wrapped in a uniform cloak, with a military cap drawn closely over his.face 'erneriii from the arbor and go out by one of the side-paths. On the other .side, a young 'girl—pide and violentlyagitatod, with face half covered JbY the handkerchief she betd to her eyes, went forth slowly. .1 - recognized Mademoiselle 4 ' . .Unutigh!'•exclaimed Paul de U---, faintly; and his friend started to perceiie the terrible effect of hie words.. His lips were parted with a forced smile, that betrayed the agony of his . soul. .He said rio more, but wrung the hand of the officer of chasseurs, and then waving his hand in token that be would not be followed, turned abruptly down another street. It was that leading to the house. of' Madame K. • . • • - Once more the lover, long seperated from his betrothed,stood in her presence. ` Marie wasseated on a,fanteuil, her fair 'head leaning on; her hand.

Trio ollieer unwed withoutspeak ing. his courage faded him. Marie saw that he was agitated. and trembled also. At'length Paul, recovering his aelf-possessibn by a strong effort addressed her : -G 'Liken, Marie,' tie said, in a low but firm voice. 'You know well the love; I have borne you. A look, ir smile from you. was to me a treasure for which I would have given' my heart's blood: When I left you for Caucasus, you gave me a lock of hair; I pl ced it open my-heart, and it rendered me invulnerable.

While he spoke, the eyes of the young man were fastened mournfully on Mademoiselle K. She was deadly pile,, and . trembling violently, grasped the arm of t 4 fautetl . for support. The face of Paul wore the expressiOns of one who, in agony and despair, make a last appeal.
