BALL At THE CoURT OF RUssN.-We
extract from the journal de Frankfort the fol-
lowing details, which an eye witness gives of a
ball at the court of Russia Immediately az
ter my presentation to the Emperor and En-
press Of Russia, had the honor of being pres
ent at magnificent ball, which showed the
court IN all its spendOr. On such occasions
no civil costume is admitted Every one is in
uniform, and the variety of dresses gives a
splendid character to the scene. Imagine gi-
gantc rooms lit up by thousands of wax lights,
an assemblage oimorc than SEQ persons, wo-
men admirably beautiful, whose exquisite drcs-
ses add 10 their beauty, and YOU would suppose
yourself IN larry scene. The Emperor opens
the court balls with Poioaaise, dancing at
iirst with the Empress, then with the Princess
es OF the Imperial Family, aud next with the
ladies of the highest utility, or the handsome

privilege OF the enircc, and causes birth 20 be

hnndsomcst faces, and it is not rare 70 see the
young daughters Of functionares of a fortune
and rank altogether secondary. become ladies'
ol honor to the Empress, thanks to their beau
~ and agreeable appearance. When the Em-
peror has danced a certain number of polonaisr
French qualres and mazurkas are taken up
all concluding with colilIions. The Empress
formerly was exceedingly fond ordancing, and
eNceHed III the art, but at present she rarely
does more than figure in n qnadrille or take a
turn or tw1 in waltz. AZ twelve O'Clock The
guests repaired to the marble hall, and the I'm
pcrial family took their seats at table apart
the others placing themselves at tables ar
ranged in groups about the Imperial one. The
Emperor supped in the winter garden, and adj
mltted to his supper table only few chosen
persons. This winter garden, ornamcnlcd
with palm trees and magnificent orange trees,
forms charming contrast with the supper

THE WIDOW OF MAIN

lie was the only son OF his mother. and
she VAS Il widow. She had seen her husband
die That bitter trial had long since passed.
He in whom her maiden heart had confided
the chosen object of her youthful love
the faithful partner Of her happiest years
he 10 whom with the sweet confidence of
woman she had opened the deep treasures
of her hearts pure love, aud who had never
proved unworthy ofthe sacred trust, had died.
She saw his dying struggle-her own hand
closed his dying eyes. She saw the grave
close over his lifeess form, and turned
away in all the loneliness of widowhood.
But, though thus bereaved, she thanked
God that he had spared her son. As she
looked on her fair boy, from whose cheek
the smile Of fila love had chased the tear
OF hllal grief, whose eye moistened at the
thought that he was fatheress, but dried his
tears as maniully he struggled to conceal
ms grief, that his smiles might soothe his
mothers grief, her bruised and bleeding
heart strings gently thrilled with new 10Y,
that strange Joy which no heat can feel till
1t is rent by agony, for it springs out of the
sacred fountain which God has placed SO
deeply in the human soul that nothing can

lis the most sacred office Of symp1thefie
lore, TO stir the waters of that holy fountain.
The widow loved TO gaze on her noble
boy. She saw upon his face his fathers fea-
tures-his growing frame was forming itself
into the fair proportions of his fathers manly
form and his behaviour showed that he pos
sessed his fathers spirit. She thought that
he would live TO soothe her latest sorrows,
to watch beside her dying bed, and lay her
in her husbands tomb As that boy grew
up, he was to her all that a mothers heart
could wish. Years passed-manhood had
set his seal upon his brow, but he was still
"hr ohitd'-as fond, as dutilul, as dear as
when in infancy he knelt and lisped the
prayer she had taught him.-IIs honest in
dustry supplied her wants-his kind atten-
tions soothed her sorrows; gently was she
descending LIES declivity leaning upon her
son.

The widow now was childless. Disease had
seized upon her son, and he was dead -
They came to bury him. The ifeless
corpse was stretched upon the bier and as
they bore II thro' the street much people
OF the city iollowed-for the dead was one

deeds of valor on the battle held-no laurel
wreath, crlmsoned with blood and wet with
orphans tears had decked his brow-his
name had not been heard in palaces, nor
trumpeted by Fame, rung in the ears of
wondering multitudes.-His obtrusive kind
ness to his fellow men, his deeds of osten-
tatious charity, his meek and humble wor-
ship of his God, filial piety, which never
tired OF showing kindness TO his lone mother

ers along her pathway to the tomb-these
were the deeds which had secured for him
the love OF all that numerous throng now fol-
lowing his bier, lifting their voices in lamen-
tation.
Who can describe the sense of loneliness
of utter desolaton which oppressed that
widows heart, as she with feeble step, tot
tered behind the bier which bore the lfeless
body of her only son ? They passed the
/ city gate. A stranger met them, 1t was

and those bearing it stood still He had
compassion on the stricken mother, and in
tones of surprising gentleness said to her,

on the stranger.-'There was look of heav-

soothing words, Weep not, fell upon her

He raised the pail and gazed few moments
on the cold, palid features of the dead
Again he looked upon the weeping mother
then raised his eyes, mostened with PHYS
tear, TO heaven. Her spirit was copmuning
with his father. The mothers sobbing
ceased-a faint and trembling hope thrilled
in her bosom. The Savior speaks 1t was
the voice which stilled the tempest, the
voice which called the universe into being,
voice which might, which did restore "a
soul under the ribs of death. Young man

way to seek and comfort other mourners,

a PRoTRAcTED LAW SUIT.-Thc following
case, lately decided in the Supreme Count OF
Berlin, proves that ii is not in English and
American Courts alone that there is room to
chide the laws delay. 1t is probably suit of
the longest duration OF any record, being OF
somewhat orer three hundred years standing.
1t is very certain that there can be no suits in
any Of our Courts which can compare with il
in age. 1t is stated that the celebrated Count
Egenont, who was beheaded in Brussels in
1868, by order Of the Duke of Alva, figured al
one time as a witness in 1.-THE dispute was
between the Arenberg of Manderschied. The
law process began in 1899, and the subject in
dispute was Il sum of about 100000 ihalers.
which the first named family claimed from the
latter by virtue Of n marriage contract which
was concluded in 1917. Eighteen Courts have
in succession been occupied with it, in the last
place that Of Munster. The Superior Court
al Berlin has condemned the handkerchief
family to pay to that of Arenherg, the sum
claimed, but without interest, and has dccrecd
that each party shall pay its own costs, the
whole of which amount To half as much again
as the capital. This Is then case, in Which,
if ever, the Saxon provelb Is true, that he who
gains his cause loses his money.-Boston Id

A BEAR ScRAPE.-On Saturday, the LIST Of
the current month a son of Mr. Robert Nc
Donald, Of Earl Town (not far from Pctou)
was sent TO examine potatoe field TO ascertain
il any cattle had broken intot. After proceed
ing about 90 rods from the house, he was
attacked by she bear with four cubs. The
bear Immediately seized him and threw him
Violently on the ground. AS soon as he rose
she struck him again, and he fell. When he
rose the second time he attempted to strike her
with small stick, hut she caught him again
and tore his head feaIlully and he was pros
traed a third time Providentialy, at this
critical moment some cubs Withdrew her atten-
ton from the boy, who seized the opportunity
and sprung over fence near which the event
occurred. The bear instantly followed, hut
when she alighted on the fence it gave way
under her. and before she could recover, the
BOY happily effected his escape. When he ar
nved at the nearest house, he was literally COW
cred with blood, and not a shred Of his clothing
remained except the collar Of his shirt. For
some time his life was despaired of, hut now
sangune hopes ofhis recovery are entertained.
