SLEIGHING IN RUSSIA. When th,
roads are rough the continual jolting o.
the sleigh is very fatiguing to traveller
and frequently during the first two Of
three days of his journey, throws hi i'm in
to what is very properly designated the
road fever. His pulse is quick, his blood
warm, his head aches, his whole frame
becomes sore and stiff, and his mind is
far from being serene and amiable. In
the first part of my land journey | had
the satisfaction of ascertaining by prac-
tical experience the exact character of
the road fever. My brain seemed ready
to burst, and appeared to my excited i'm
agination about as large as a barrel /;
every fresh jolt and thump of the vehi-
Gle gave me sensation as if somebody
were driving tenpenny nail into my
skull; as for good-nature under such
circumstances, that was out of the ques.
ton, and | am free to confess that nv
temper was not unlike that of a bear
with sore head. Happily, however,
kept it pretty well to myself, and as my
companion was affected about as / was
we managed not to disagree.
Where the roads are good, or if the
speed Is not great, one can sleep very
well in Russian sleigh; succeeded in
extracting great deal of slumber from
my vehicle, and sometimes did not wake
fer three or four hours. The government
couriers often suffer much from loss of
sleep, as they are compelled to maintain
the utmost limit of speed without regard
to their own convenience Sometimes
the roads are In such wretched condition
that one is tossed in his vehicle TO the
height OF discomfort, and can very well |
be likened to lump of butter in a re-
volving churn. In such cases sleep is |
almost, If not wholly, impossible, and |
the traveller, proceeding at courier speed, |
must take advantage of the few moments
halt at the stations while the horses are
being changed. As he has but ten or
fifteen minutes for the change he makes
good use of his time and sleeps very |
soundly until his team is ready Harp

The CAPTURE OF TIcoNDERoGA..-Th,
following account of the capture of III
conderoga by Ethan Allen, is taken from
Steadman's History of the American
War;" published in London in 1894, anC
not in all respects agreeing with The
American account of the same affair, il
may not be uninteresting at this day
Ticonderoga and Crown Point, the
former situated at the end of Lake
George, and the latter near the southern
extremity of Lake Champlain, for the
gates on that quarter of Canada. These
posts had already been secured in the
following manner: A volunteer of the
name of Ethan Allen, assembled Of his
own accord about fifty men, and pro-
ceeded Immediately to the environs OF
the first mentioned fortress, commanded
by Captain De La Place of the 26th
regiment, who had under his command
about sixty meu. Allen, who had often
been at Ticonderoga observed complete
want of discipline in the garrison, and
that they had even carried their supine
negligence to the length of never shut
ting the gates. Having disposed of his
small force in the woods, he went to Cap.
tain De La Place, with whom he was
we'll acquainted, and prevailed on him
to lend him twenty men for the pretend
ed purpose of assisting him in transport
ing goods across the lake. These men he
contrived to make drunk, and on the ap-
proach of night, drawing his own people
from their ambuscade he advanced to
the garrison of which he Immediately
made himself master. AS there was not
one person awake, though there was
sentry at the gate, they were all taken
prisoners. On the commandant's asking
Allen by what authority he required him
to surrender the fort, he answered :" I
demand it in the name of the Great Je-
hovah and the Continental Congress.
The reduction of Crown Point, which
had neither guard nor garrison, became
a matter of course. Allen also surprised
belonging to Maj. Skeene,
who with his son and negroes were taken
prisoners. About the same time an Am
erican officer, afterwards highly distin-
guished, seized the only ship of the royal
navy on Lake Champlain.
The stores taken at Ticonderega were
between 112 and 120 iron cannon, from
5 to "a Founders, 90 swivels of different
sizes, 2 ten inch mortars, howitzer, l
cohorn, 10 tons musket balls, cart loads
of fints, 80 new carriages, a considerable
quantity of shells, warehouse full of
materials to carry on boat building, 100
stand of small arms, 10 casks of very
Indifferent powder, brass cannons, 80
barrels of -four and Is barrels of pork.
The prisoners were one captain, gum
ner, sergeants, aud A rank and file,
besides women and children. Captain
De La Place, notwithstanding his shame
full conduct, was not brought to court
martial, but was suffered to sell out"

The Assassination of Seward,
AS TOLD BY HIS DAUGHTER, FANNY.

AS TOLD BY HIS DAUGHTER, FANNY.
Not many months before her death
Fanny Seward told me the story of the
attempt to assassinate her father the
same night Lincoln was murdered.

she, he being ill in bed. A band pass

l can never listen to with pleasure again
My sister, Mrs. Seward and / went to
the window, and looked at the procession
passing. She left the room and | re-
turned to my chair. Soon after / heard
voices at the door. My brother Fred
was replying to some one who spoke
louder than was the custom so near to
my fathers chamber of illness. The
voices ceased. A moment later l heard
a scuffie, and started toward the door.
Just then a man threw it open, ran past
me and jumped on my fathers bed. The
nurse sprang after him, and caught hold
of him. l saw the flashing of knife,
but did not see him strike my father.
| could not stir; could only scream
with terror. He sprang from the bed
and rushed past me, out of the room,
striking at every one in his way, except
me-"
:" He afterward said he could not
strike that young girl watching there by
her father" remarked Mr.. Fred Sew

the hall, bathed in blood his wife also

first | thought the assassin had wounded
them all. ran back to my fathers bed
but he was not in it. My feet slipped,
and looking down, l saw they slipped in
blood flowing from my fathers wounds,

he was not gone long, but it seemed very
long to me, as L trembled with fear that
my father and brother both were dying.
Fred is still suffering terribly, and my
mother died soon after,--the shock OF
that night having doubtless FASTENED
her DEATH"
The shock hastened the daughters
death, also. She tenderly loved her
father, and gloried in his fame; and the
terrible scenes she witnessed, that fatal
night, we're too dreadful for her delicate

TaE PRorENsrr TO MAKE THE BEST

HE PROPENSITY TO MAKE THE BEST
OF THINGS is generally found in combi-
nation with those smaller virtues which
are more annoying to ones neighbors
than most vices. The man that rises at
live every morning, who always ties up
his letters with red tape, and who is con-
vinced of the great truth that it is better
to be half an hour too early than half a
minute too late, is frequently given to
making the best of things. The duty of
doing so is moral maxim Just big
enough for him to understand. He
probably reflects upon it in the early
morning at the time when his cold bath
is bringing out that glow, physical and
moral, which makes him an offense to
all weaker vessels during the rest of the
day. The ruddy jovial person who gets
himself up after the country gentleman
type, or the more unctuous variety of
popular preacher, is apt to be perspiring
this doctrine at every pore. 1t is
pleasure to him to meet anybody in dis
tress upon whom he may discharge bois-
ferrous comfort through his favorite aphor-
ism, as fire engine sends cold water
through hose. If he acquires some
dim consciousness of the fact that his
kind exhortations sound like bitter
mockery to his victims, it only increases
his sense of virtue. They cannot COM
fort themselves under the loss of wife
by the reflection that they still have sew
eral first cousins, and money enough to
pay for handsome monument. That
only proves that they have not studied
so well as he the great art of properly
directing their sentiments. For of course
he will deny in the most pathetic manner
that he would ever advise anything like
selt-deceit. He does not avowedly ask
sufferer to profess that a toothache is
rather a pleasant distraction than other
wise he only recommends him to fix
his attention upon his great toe or some
other remote part of his body which may
appear to be enjoying good health. And
IN fact, there are some people, SO envia-
bly, constituted that small pleasant OBJ
lect elevates them more than great un-
pleasant object depresses them. They
are people, SO to speak, of small spe-
cific gravity, who cannot be submerged
without heavy burden of melancholy.
The person who makes the best of things
processes to be of this temperament. 1t
is not we would not have you believe,
that he does not sympathize with grief,
but that his constitutional buoyancy
makes sympathy in him compatible with
he does not deny the ex-
stence of evils, but the smallest grain of
good makes him happy, just as half a
glass of wine makes some men drunk.
There are we say, such people as these
men, If We may coin a word, easily in

rule, to vehement suspicion in both

The MYSTERY OF DEATH.-Ah, that
great mystery of death How silent
have all the dear voices become, which
lately we're music in our ears Where
have those loved ones gone? What are
they doing? The fathers and mothers,
the wives and husbands, the sweet chill
dren, the noble friends, who, a little
while ago, told US all that was in their
hearts! How deep is the voiceless hush
of that world ! Why cannot we talk
with them across this abyss? Why may
not we hear one word TO tell us that they
love US still Between us and them
there is great gulf fixed. There are
those who believe that spirit voices are
heard across it, and l am glad if they
get any comfort out of that belief ;but
those voices do not sound to me much
like the voices we used to hear, nor do
they tell us great deal. Their tones
are rather unnatural. Only one voice,
hitherto, has retained its old tone-the
one that said Mary, in that early eve
ming twilight; the one that said " Peace
be unto you, in that evening meeting
the one that said, Come and dine," on
the lake shore of Galilee. But that
voice has thrown light into darkness, and
has told us of the many mansions in the
house of God, assuring US of world be.

as rich in beauty, in action, in thought
and in love- Common Sense in Religion.
