a just Judgment.
[rransla'ed from the French. ]

lTranslaed from the French. >
Just before the death of the Emperor Nicholas OF
Russia, affair occurred, in which the firm justice Of
his character was n0by displayed. The child OF o
gamekeeper attached to the house of seyere and
cruel nobleman, vertable Nero among his serfs was
20 unfortunate as to break the !eg Of little dog be-
heman, furious, seized the child, dragged him into
biz armory and with the butt Of q pistol shattered
his skull. Oyerhearing the tnmult. the gamekeeper
hurried 70 the scene and found himself il the pres
standing near his victim.
Was it you that killed my child 2" demanded the
gamskeeper, IN voice broken with despair
Because he had broken the leg Of one Of my dogs,'
die!n : :
The lord!y assassin tried to grasp another pistol
iron hand, threw him on his knees.
Recommend your soul to God, tell you, that he
may have pity on your soul-f such monsters have
Mercy! PITY! Help i, cried the uoblemap strup.
Cling in vain within the fierce grasp which held him
to the ground. Do you want gold? will give
you as much as you can need" ~
Gold will not stop the flow of bloodW @
Do you wish your freedom You shall have it,
Liberty will not restore me my chld.n
!" Pardon me! Mercy! Help! To the rescue!
Attracted by these cries, dozen serfs ran 10 de.
fend their master But at the sight Of the corpse OF
the fathers despair, they comprehended all the hor
ror Of the tragedy which had just passed in that
blood-stained hall. - mi "a :.
Help me, my children" cried the nobleman, de.
fend me!H
But not a voice was heard-nota an arm was extend.
ed to help the murderer.
These honest men have not come here to save
you said the gamekeeper. They are here tojndge
and assist in the execution Of your sentencen Rails
ing him then be bound his arms, and made him sit
down. Then briefly recountng all the acts Of violence
and abuses of authority Of which the nobleman had
been guilty, the gamekeeper, transformed into a
judge subjected him to long interrogation in pre-.
sence Of the body Of the murdered child terrible
and silent evidence Of his last crime then addressing
the serfs, he demanded - What punishment should
this man receive r"
. Death |" replied with one voice the members of
that tribunal Of justice, but who win take upon
himself the Office Of executioser ~ f
The father who is now childless |! I" answered the
gamekeeper, and, repeating third time, .sReconl-
mend your soul to God be plunged the sword to the
hilt into the nobleman's breast. The same day he
delivered himself up to the local authorities but the
Emperor on being informed of the affair ordered that
he should be set at liberty, saying, 9 This man has
committed no crime to a dog the death OF q dog.'

We have heard of travellers getting authors to

draw imaginary scenes for their establishment we
have also heard of ladies' who could not sew getting
seamstresses to work beautiful needlework for them,
which they exhibited as their own. But all this i'm

Rcheieu. A man of great learning, called lie Jay,
compiled French Polygot Bible in ten volumes folio,

GETTING IN BY CoUNT.-Horn's minstrels were
performing at Springfield and "a large party heard
them-cheap. Said one Of them to the door-keeper:
g Just count the number Of these fellows as they
go in."
In they went--the doorkeeper counted round
dozen.
Have you got the number? ~ inquired one of
them.
:" Yes, sir, you'll make thrteen,' said the polite
door-keeper.
ooh, certainly" nothing more correct" said the
other. Then pulling out greasy pocket book and
fumhlng among some papers awhile, remarked:
