SERFDoM IN RUs>IA.--For The mem
bers of this class there is but one legal
path to emancipation, viz: marriage wit
q freeman. For male serfs, al all times,
until recently, military service was the
only to freed ,nl. Once under the
colors, the soldier is free. The fteodnm
Of the Russian soldiers is not comprehen.
slvc, and the recru!, may, in some sort, be
said only 10 exchange one kind of slavery
for another and q milder one; but when,
on the completion Of his term of service.
or in consequence ofwounds or i'll health
he receives his discharge, it is free man
tha! he returns to his home. Ia strict
regard TO truth, | must, however, here
observe, that for Il lorg time this road to
citizenship led but few to its enjoyment.
The solder, after completing a period Of
twenty years service, was SO accustomed
TO that mode Of life, whilst, on the other
hand, owing 10 his long distaste TO the oc-
cupation to which he had been brough,
