EVERY one who knows how harshly the
lower classes ofRussians are treated by their
superiors, may well wonder at the extraor-
binary stock of good nature still extant a.
mong the common people: it must really
have been of amazing fullness TO have with
stood the destructive force OF SO many cen
turtles of injustice and outrage. This good
nature is often carried to a child-like degree
Of simplicity; and in the interior ofthe EN-
pire it is so universal and so much matter
of course, that when stranger expresses
his surprise at what is to him so unusual
the only answer he is likely to receive from
the Russians themselves is a smile of kindly
compassion.
Good nature is an almost universal char
acterlstic of the Russian nation. In the I'M
known streets of the towns, on the high
roads, on the steppes of Siberia, the foreign
traveller is sure to be kindly directed by ev-
cry one of whom he asks his way, and gen.
orally they will accompany him a good bit
on his route. Whoever meets with mis-
chance need not fear that his fate will be
coldly regarded by uninterested spectators,
for every one hastens to aid him to the ut
most of their power even at their own per-
sonal risk. If a man falls into the water, he
is rescued by unknown peasants, who often
peril their own lives to save Hm, and then
kindly bidding him good bye, 20 about their
business without thinking they have done a.
nything extraordinary, or making any claim
for praise or reward. How often have seen
poor people, nay, actual beggars, sharing the
few kopecks they had begged with some one
needier than themselves, to help him to a
glass ofbrandy, or, ifthey could do no more,
at least filling his snuii-box, so that he might
not go away without some sort of comfort.
To the same kindly feeling may, perhaps, be
traced another no less general trait of the
Russian character, their extraordinary fond
ness for children, which is not confined to
their own offspring; even people OF the bet
ter class stop In the streets to look at chill
dren playing, miDgle with them, take up the
prettiest or best behaved amongst them in
their arms, kiss them, and send them away
with little present. The well-known reli-
gious tolerance of the Russians, and their
true oriental hospitality towards strangers,
spring apparently from the same noble root,
kindness towards their iellow-men.
Let me be allowed to state, with reference
to this aspect of the Russian national char
acter, some facts ofwhich can warrant the
authenticity,
A Russian merchant in Turinsk resolved
to devote "a large portion of the fortune he
had amassed in trade to the establishment Of
an hospital in his native town. Alexander
hearing of this munifcent conduct, sent the
order of st. Vladimir of the second class
Gratihed as the merchant must have been by
an honour so seldom bestowed on one of hi
guild, he nevertheless petitoned for leave t.

"That remark is decidedly mean; you are
always throwing that tritling purchase in my

" My Lady Rust, among many other griev-
Gus deficiencies, the result of neglected
education and perhaps defective natural Ca
liabilities, have observed, with surprise and
regret, your total ignorance OF natural his

farther display of your weakness, the ne

it in the library-a careful perusal of the

THE SERVANTS HALL.

Sir Methusalah Rust's establishment was
an extensive one, kept up after the manner
of the Cline old English gentleman" His
domestcs, like good landlord, were /" a
host in themselves" but those whose inter-
ests are connected with the present sketch
were only three, viz John Thomas, the
butler Con Sweeny, the groom; and pref
ty, plump Patty Pride, my lady's Orn ladies'
maid.
John Thomas was a thoroughbred Eng
lishman and most unadulterated cockney.-
London with John Thomas was the world !;
those born within the sound of " Bowbells,"
the acknowledgements portions of
society those denied that privilege pitiable
persons indeed. John Thomas was very
sausage prejudices; small portions of every
national liking, or antipathy, must have
been chopped up, blended together, and
thrust, even to the risk of bursting it, into
the external cuticle of John Thomas.
John Thomas believed there was such a
place as kirkland, or as in his loitier moods
he termed it hernia, thereby nullifying by
omission the. gratuitous expenditure of the
misapplied HI" and he labored under the
deluslon-we regret to say not altogether
confined to John Thomas--that the British
Government supported the IIirsh, who were
only fit for excavators" and scavengers,
from motives of the purest philanthropy.
John Thomas farther imagined the natu-
raj produce of the country was turf, pota-
toes and poteen and the pastimes of the
people burning barns, numbering landlords,
and taking an annual 1.-THE of Protestant
parsons with bludgeons and bunderbusses,
instead of allowing them to take their Scrip
tural dues
So much as a general outline of John
Thomas's public opinions as an individual
demonstration of his more private feelings
we will briefly say John Thomas loved pref
ty, plump Patty Pride, and as somehow or
other " Hirishmen" with him were always
lnIterlopers, he fancied Con Sweeny kept up
the national character, or rather want of it
