"That officer" said he, in hollow voice,
"has become enriched by one of your gloves,
To whom, pray do you desine the other ?"
To you Count, if you are gallant enough to
attach the least value 10 such trhe," was
the reply.
"Give it me, then"
So saying Potemkin retired.
On the evening OF the same day, feldja-
ger and couple Of Cossacks made their ap.
pearance in Galernis, at Major Tcheghelow-
skis. The officer turned pale on beholding
them, for such visits BODIED no good.
"FoIlow me !" said the feldjager.
''Whiller?m
"Thats secret"
"By whose order :"
"Look.n
"Wil the journey be long,"
"Perhaps."
"Alow me TO take bag of roubles and
some papers,"
"Neither roubles nor papers-no,hing."
"very well, sir, will follow YOU" said
the major, pale with emotion, "but permit
me at least, 10 give last embrace to my mo-
ther who will awake in tears and sorrow. For
mercy's sake grant me but one single mo-
ment."
at is impossible The orders are positive.
Get in.o
And the iron feldjager pointed to one of
those little covered carts, called 'tealeagues,"
which stand very high from the ground, and
are provided with only one wooden seat
All resistance was vain, and would have
been punished with the utmost severity.
Seven days were spent in unspeakable suf-
ferings, the major was half-dead with exhaus-
tion, when the tealeague halted on the bor-
der of an arid steppe, where here and there
were sprinkled about twenty wretched huts,
more fit to serve as dens for wild beasts than
as human habitatons.
''This is your destinations" said the field
jaeger. ..........
The majors face became livid.
'iNo it is not impossible ;" cried he convul-
sively wringing the hand of his sinister COM
panion, "you cannot leave me here alone, in
this accursed spot What have done? What
is my crime? Why was carried off in this
mysterious fashion am the victim of some
inconceivable-some horrible error! Oh!
for pity's sake take me back to ST. Peterburgh
and all possess, and all that my family pos
sesses, shall be yours"
'I cannot,n answered the feldjager.
And then, drawing from the pocket in his
cloak, small parcel, he presented it TO Ma
jor Tcheghelowski, adding: "There is what
Gen. Potemkin babe me give you when We
parted"
The Major started; his deep emotion
caused the blood 10 rush TO his face; and a
fond recollection awakened the courage that
had almost failed him under so tying cir
cumslance, he replied, "Very well, sir; tell
Gen. Poiemkin that value his present far
more than dread Siberia, and that he has
given happiness enough TO support me during
the period of my exile" "A. ...
The feldager bowed, cracked his whip,
and off the vehicle flew; while the unfoTtu-
nate exile watched its disappearance, with
much the same feelings as the wanderer, LOST
in labrinth of catacombs, would witness
his feeble lamp Pickering, and about to be
extinguished, or perceive the thread that was

snapped asunder. Seventy years passed b,
seventy years were dragged thro' amids
hardshps, dangers, and privalions of ever,
kind. Yes, even in that iron cline, that mos
desolaie latitude, years flew rapidly over the
exies head-for it is astonishing how time
seems abridged by the sameness OF the LIE

Chance at length caused the unhappy vic

under Government, who was sent on mis-
