Vassili, when I was a raw lad new to the Continent, had beeu kiud to me once or twice, and I hud repa;d his good nature by taking bis part when others ppoke evil of tim, in a vague way, behind bis back, for be was do; popular, sd nit how. Tbere he was at any rate, and evidently delighted to see me. ' I3y the by !" abruptly put ia my actuainance, linking bis arm in mine, "1 have to congratulate you, have I not? Is it troe that you are about to marry the beautiful Mile. Marie, daughter of Count Constan line Orloff, tbe young lady who at Madrid, wbeu I was there, broke all hearts ?" It was true that 1 was betrothed to Marie Orloff; indeed, I was oa uiy way to her fitber's mia-iiou, at which it bad been arranged that 1 should be a guest until tbe wedding t-hould take place, according to bjth the English and Rosso-Greek forms, at St. Petersburg. Our engagement bad come tbjut in this wise. I, Arthur Musgrave, as an attache of our legation at Madrid, bad been thrown much into tbe society of tbe daughte" of the Ru-tsiua Eivoy, bad learned to luve her, aid had beeu lucky enough to teach her to jv me. My chief difficulty was wiib the Coant.who as at first very much an noyed and diplea.-cd.

For tunately for me, however, I was beir to an entailed prperty, small, indeed, but tbe rent-roll of whii-b seened re spectable iu Coutiueutal eye?; while) I was able to conviuco Count O.Ioff that my border ancestry had driven off Scotiieb cattle, and ridden ia warden raids, nl a time when his own forefdTLeis were probably un baptized Tartars, for it is a curious fjet that tbe titled families ot Russia are Georgian, Tartar, German, Swed ish, aoyiniug but Hussian. Alt uuw was happily settled, aud, as 1 have taid, I was on my way tu my future father-in-law's couutry ! chateau, a Summer residence in the lake district of Ostascbkoi, near Tver on the upper Volga. Tbe Count's estate lay chiefly in that neighbor hood, and be bad lately been ap pointed, by t'ue of those abrupt transit! jns from one service to aiotn- er, wbica are common unaer tfce Czar's rule, Uoveraor or the prov ince. But what chance, ' M. ' Vassili, brings you here?" 1 atked, wben webadehakea bands. I heard ot you last as in Rome." Here to-dav, there to-morrow," answered Vansili, airily. . "I bae been in Asia lately, shall be at Wilna to-morrow, and in St. Petersburg next week. 1 etrve a master who has dealings in far away places." "You mean the Emperor?" I iu quired, and the Kusbian nodded with a looB of goud-bumored myniery. At ibis moment up came a p trier to t il me, cringiogly, that my euellen cy must, be feared, be cootent to wait fix hours or 'inure fur a train. Tbere bad been a movtrneot of troop toward Poland, disordering tbe com pany's arrangement, and taking up ibe rolling-stock." .

You'll do my errand, then, dear Ar thur, will you not, aud gladdeu the heart of tbe good old man ?'' It was not until long after assiii and I bad parted tbat it occurred to me to wouder why he should charge me with such a message. It would have been simpler, sorely, and more speedy, as a means cf communication with Pope John, to have relied on the post. But then these rustic priests were ignorant, and pofsibly tbe eyes of the papas were not very well accustomed to deciphering man uscript. At any rate 1 would make a point ot executing ttie commission. "Pone John, English lord?" said tbe inn keeper at Staritza, falteringly, as I atked for a guide to show me the Wity to tbe parsonage, wbile the blow postillions wereuo harnessing, in the tardy fashion in which work is dune in Russia, the tired horses from the carriage. "Certainly," said I, oberviug his embarrassment. "Is the priest ill, or what is there surprising iu a travel er's inquiring for him ?" Tbe landlord bowed obsequious'y. "You'll find the papas in good heaMi, noble goppodin," said he, in sugare I ui cents, "louder is the par)oagf, with the white gable." ' I ben 1 want no guide to conduct me there,'' said I, langbing, aud at ouce walked across to tbe garden gate. A neat, snug little dwelling was tbe parsonage, with us white walls, us tinv flowers, and tbe sacred pigeons cooing sofily as tbey sunned themselves upon its red-eaved roof. An ill looking fellow opened the door in answer to my summons, scanned me narrowly, end, as I thought, with suspicion, and after some colloquy conducted me to what I guessed b tbe few bxks and the many pictured saints on tbe wall, to be the priest's study. leu minutes elapsed, and tSen in came the master of tbe bouse, Pope Jobo. "forgive me, noble sir, it I have ept you waiting," said tbe priest with as low a bow as be could have executed in tbe presence of tbe Bish op. "You bring me news, I am told, ! niv dear son : I canuot say tbat tbe revrened gentleman impressed me very fa vorably. Pope Jobn was a corpu lent old man, with a snowy beard that would have done credit to a hermit ; long wbile locks tailing from beneath bis black velvet t-kull cap, a snuOy and Iraytd cassock, and daik bloe cpet'tacles, from behind wbieb a pair of keen though hulf-abut eyes surveyed me with a watchfulness thai bad iu it cotuethiog ftliue. Tbe priest's voice, loo, at once coare aud wheedling, grated oa my ear, though noibibg tould exceed the bland ur banity of bis receptit-n of roe. i .Twice ovtr did I irpcat ibe substance of Vast-ili's remarks cobcerninir the youug eurn-dcaler as Odessa, .and twice, at tbe old man's request, did I nieutiou ihciristfruetanceof my inter view with I'coietrius, "his kind and noble patron," as be called him ; then I placed tbe writteu slip of paper, on wbicb I bad penciled ibe message, in the piieai'a bands, and deciiuing bis of fer of refieebmeois, tot k my leave ol biro. As I left, the parsouage I tbonght I heard some whispered talk.

I was browbeaten, bullied, argued with, cjuxed, but never accused of anything. When I inquired the na ture of my offense 1 was jeered at. hen 1 adjured my captors to write to tbe British Embassv, my prayer was treated as an impudent jest.

I thought, between them,, that they would have driven me mad, and should have welcomed Siberia as a release. I grew enllen at last, and refused to return any answer to tbe interrog atories with which they plied cie. I began almost to doubt my own identity.

There, ia front of the group stood, ia a rich uniform, tbe breast of which sparkled with or ders, the "excellency" in question. Tbe recognition was mutual. "Count Orloff!" "What! Mus grave ! Arthur, my dear boy, what terrible error is this ?" And to tbe scandal of the Judge, tbe jailor, and tbe rest of them, tbe Governor of tbe province hurried across toe grimy uoor to clasp my bands, and to order in a voice ibat brooked no denial or deUy, tbat my chains should instantly be taken off. .My poor tellow, bow you mast have sulTered," said tbe Count feel ingly, as be saw bow pale and bag garu i dbu grown.

Be this as it may, the more we stud v the condition of women ia those early days, tbe less pleasing a picture does it represent. istiewasihe companion ot man ia peace and war; she attended to all the indoor and outdoor work; while he sat dozing ia half stupor by the fire she was up and doing; she accom panied him to the battlefield ; she stood by bis side and encouraged him ia momeuts o! greatest danger. Wo mea were known to fight after their husbands and sons bad beea defeated. Thus Flavius tells as that, in a bat tle between Marius and the Cimbri, the struggle with the enemy's wives was aot less severe than with tbe en emy himself, "for the women being mounted on tbe wagons and other carriages which had been ranged around as a defense, fought from them as from towers, with spears and pikes;" and he adds that, when tbey were refused the privilege of being committed to the custody of the ves tal virgins, "they either fell, after strangling or braining tbe whole of their children by mutual wounds, or banged themselves with ropes made of tbeir own hair, apoa the trees aad the yokes of tbeir wagon's."

But Egil seized ber and pacified her by fiiug ing: "1 have marched with my bloody swurd, aud the ravens bave followed me. Furiously we fought; tbe tire passed over tbe dwellings of nien: we slept ia the blood or those wbo kept the gates." Such is this maiden's ideal or a bero and of life.

Tbe paiuter, whether with pcu or brush, bas not always skill or candor enough to present his hero ia his faults of body and son! ; besides, tbe bero himself bas rarely bo little vani ty as to expose his own defects and deformities. If an occasional Crom well stoutly demands to be painted with his wart, illustrious men arc uot equally eager to set forth their moral blemishes and mental blunders, but suffer their reports and tbeir official chroniclers to excuse or deftly dis guise them. National pride and various kinds of partisanship also resent the rough handling of historic heroes. Tbe portrait of William Penn which Ma caulay drew roused the indignation ot many Quakers, in whose minds Penn bad come to be a figure quite free from tbe human frailties which the historian, ascribes to bim. Wlen Thackeray, in the "Yirgiaians,'r sketched Washington as an ardinary mortal falling ia love and quarreling in a very ordinary way, tbe picture shocked many Americans, for Wash ington is our patron saint. We bad preferred to divest bim of the frivolous gallantries in which youth commonly indulge, and to think of bim as "loving but once," when he led the widow Custis to the altar. Bishop Meade, however, tells us in bis "Old Churches and Families ot Yirginia," that Misa Cary bad pre viously captivated the affections of young W ashington, aad rejected the offer of bis hand ; and there are ru mors of other like experiences in Washington's life. A rare, perhaps solitary lapse into profanity, under sodden irritation, is hardly a matter to be concealed in Washington's life,fci-iCe it really serves to bring into the light of positive vir tues his habitual self-restraint and de corum ; yet some eulogists would gloss even that speck ou the sun. &uc!i eulogists think it wise to figure our first President as a recognized demigod among bis contemporaries, ignoring tbe fact tbat hostile news papers called bim a traitor, an ally of Britain, "a stupendous monument of perfidy, ingratitude and degenera cy," and tbat bis impeachment was called for. Wbile the treaty with England, which he favored, was un der discussion "his merits," says Young, "as a soldier and statesman, were disparaged. His private char acter did not escape detraction lie was accused cf having overdrawn tbe amount of bis salary end appro appropriated tbe money ti his private use." N ashington bimseir, in regard to tbe attacks of the press upon bim fir bis treaty policy, wrote that he could not bave believed that every act of bis admiaitralion would be tortured, and the grossest misrepre sentations of tbem made, "and tbat, too, ia such exaggerated and indecent terms as could scarcely be ipplied to Nero, a notorious defaulter, or even to a common pickpocket." lie Gal-uj-j.

How Far Will fUreeanierk UmT Mr. Brown kept boarders. Around his table sat Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews, tbe village milliner; Mr. Black, the baker; Mr. Jordoa, a carpenter, and Mr. Hadley, a flour, feed aad lumber merchant. Mr. Crown took out of his pocket book a tea-dollar note, and handed it to Mrs. Brown, saying: "Here my dear, are ten dollars to ward the twenty I promised you." Mrs. Brown handed it to Mrs. An drews, the milliner, saying : "TbiU pays for my new bonnet," Mr9. Andrew said to Mr. Jonhm, as she handed him the note: "That will pay for your work on my couater." Mr. Jordoa handed it to Mr. Had ley, tbe flour, feed and lumber mer chant, requesting bis lumber biil. Mr. Hadley gave the note back to Mr. Brown, saying: "That pays ten dollars oa board." Mr. Browo passed it to his wife, with the remark that that paid (her twenty dollars be had promised. Sbe ia retura paid it to Mr. Black to settle her bread and pastry account, who banded it to Mr. Hadley, wish ing credit for the amount oa bis floor bill, be again returned it to Mr. Browa, with tbe remark tbat it set lied for tbat month's board. Where upon Mr. Browa put it back into bis pocket book exclaiming that be "nev er thought a ten-dollar bill would so far." Thus a ten-dollar greenback was made to pay ninety dollars indebted ness inside of five minutes. Who says greenbacks are worthless? Lar Sentinel.
