PETER THE GREAT.

Voltaire, in one of the most eloquent
passages of his 80 History of Charles XII,"
says of Peter the Great of Russia: He
gave polish to his people, although him
self a savage; taught the art of war, of
which he himself was ignorant; promoted
literature, art and science, while he him
self could scarcely read; established pow
erful fleet, after seeing little boat on the
Moskwa; made himself an expert ship
wright, pilot, sailor and commander; chang
ed the laws, manners and customs Of the
Russians, and lives in their memory as the
father of his country" The wo-hundreth
anniversary of Peters birth has been cele-
brated, with such pompt as the imperial
court could lend, in the capital which he
founded, and whose very name is memoir
ial of his greatness. 1t was worthily done;
for the Russia of to-day is Peters creation
two centuries ago. IfAugustus found Rome
brick, and left it marble, Peter found Rus
sia wilderness of chaotic provinces and
welded it into a vast and conglomerate
empire. No doubt the growth of Russia
especially its growth eastward-has far
outstripped even Peters Titanic DREAM
Could be rise from the tomb where he re-
poses, in the Basilica of st. Peter and st.
Paul and survey has state as it is under the
second Alexander he would be amazed at
its extent and its progress. The "Big
Barbarian" as the English called him in
those memorable days when he drank ale,
brandy and peper, with my Lord of Car
mathen at the Czar-of- Muscovy inn at
Deptford, would stand dumb before the
higher civilization of the metropolis, and
would ra ise his giant arms in blank aston
ishment at the teeming and loyal popula-
tions which have grown to the parent
trunk of Muscovy. At once Russia's
Caesar and her Lycurgus, Peter seems to
have effected long ago, what Bismarck is
even now effecting for the united Germans.
Indeed, curious parallel, after the Plut-
arch method, might be instituted between
the great Pomeranian who guides the des-
tiny of the nation of the present, and him
who performed the more difficult feat Of
organizing barbarism in a less facile age
Nepoleon said that in fifty years from his
time, Europe would either be Republican
or Cossack; Peter, century before Nepo-
leon made the saying possible, by launch
ing the Cossack element as power upon
Europe One of his dreams is, indeed, yet
unfulflled. Constantinople is looked to
by all Russian souls as the Rome of the
Greek Church; Peter pointed southwark
with firm determined finger, and said that
there, in Byzantium, by the blue Bosphor-
us, Russia must erect her St. Peters and
establish the throne of her czar-popes.-
The legacy Of this ambition he left to his
descendants; it has been strenuously pur-
sued, but it is not yet consumated. But
under every Car, the preparations 60
on, and the liberation of the Russian mas
ses only swells the multitude of zealots,
who, with fiery religious zeal, look for
ward to the coming to pass of the dream of
the father of Russia"

CHAPTER VI.

THE GREAT EMERALD OF KANDAHAR.
Could his disappointment have driven
him mad indeedo Was he really ripe for
the certificate of two physicians Any
one would certainly have thought so, to
have seen him dancing, leaping, and laugh
ing wildly about the disordered room. He
absolutely shrieked with laughter, and
pressed to his heart in ecstasy the rags OF
the magpie and then the piece of green
crystal that had fallen from the broken
frame. A piece of green crystal indeed
Nay, a queen, goddess, dream of light,
an ecstasy of glory! He kissed it and mum
bled it; he would have worshiped it in his
frenzy. SO outrageous was his triumph,
that his valet came running to the door,
followed by half the startled household
Mrs. Levi sent old Judith herself to see
what was the matter. Hastily recalled to
himself, he threw piece of paper over his
new found treasure, unlocked the door,
scolded the servants for their attempted
intrusion. locked and double locked it
again, and then sat down more calmly to
gloat over his prize of prizes.
Every dealer and jewel broker has heard
of the Great Emerald of Kandahar. 1t is
tho great poetical tradition of the trade;
greater, even, than the Koh-i-noor, the
Pitt Diamond, or the Queen Ruby of Cal
tura. 1t has been the cause of bloedier
wars and darker crimes than ambition it
self, from the days when it had been pre-
sented to King Solomon by the Queen of
Sheba as the noblest ornament of the Tenn
pie, to those, some few centuries ago,
when it formed part of the royal crown of
the Czars of Caspia. But it was not un-
known to the initiated in the secret history
of crown jewels, that the great Emerald
had for some time past vanished from hui
nun sight. 1t had either been lost or
stolen or hidden away-or else, as it now
seemed, it had been secretly pledged with
the great house that had dealt so magnifi-
Gently with royal loans. But its descrip-
ton, its shape, the manner of it's cutting,
the exact number of its carats, were all
matter of history; and what was more
likely than that the lender should conceal
his dangerous security in the most impro-
bable place in the world9
OF course, this hunchbacked jew had
heard, like others, of the great emerald,
md before it he sat-or was it he any Ion
ger? Had he not rather suddenly grown

THE FISHERMEN.

We ride on the back of the wave,
We dip in the trough of the sea;
Our boat is stout and our hearts are brave,
As tishermen's hearts should be.
For winds may be fierce and strong,
And the waves may do us wrong,
And those may weep erelong
Who wait for us three.
We laugh when the winds are fair,
And the nets drag heavily
With the weight of fish, and there is no
For my tisher-boys and me.
But the winds may rage and roar,
And the surf beat on the shore,
And those wait evermore
Who wait for us three.
IT'S toll and danger and strife;
Yet we love the greedy sea
That gives us bread for a wagered life,
Bread for my lads and me.
But the waves IN anger churn,
And the winds seem cruel and stern,
To those who wait and yearn
To welcome us three.
We laugh when the wind is light;
But my heart is heavy in me
Sometimes when | think of my lads at
night,
And the perils of the sea.
For winds may be fierce and strong,
And the waves may do US wrong,
And those may weep erelong
Who wait for US three.

Talleyrand's Childhood.

When scarcely a twelvemonth old, he
was lamed for life by fall. Eleven years
passed away, during which time the fond
mother had not only never seen her off
spring, but was even ignorant of the acci-
dent that had befallen him. About this
period his uncle, the Baili de Talleyrand,
naval captain, returned to France, after
an absence of many years. Being desirous
of seeing his nephew, he made a journey to
the remote village to which the boy had
been exiled. 1t was in the depth of winter
that he undertook this expedition, and the
snow lay thick upon the grouDd. AS he
neared the place, he met upon the road a
blue-eyed, fair-haired boy dressed like a
peasant, to whom he offered some silver to
guide him to Mother Regauts' (the nurses
name was Regaut.) Delighted at the
thought Of the promised reward, the boy
eagerly undertook the service, but he was
very lame, and could not keep pace with
the horse, so the good natured bailli lifted
him into the saddle. His wonder and con-
sternation may be imagined when, upon
arriving at the cottage, he was informed
that in his poor little lame guide he saw
the nephew he had come to seek. Not
another hour did Charles Maurice remain
beneath the roof; the bailli took the boy
back with him to Paris. Such was the
ch ildbood's days of the future great diplo-
mats, who was destined thereafter to hold
the destinies of France within his grasp.
From the village he was transplanted to
the College D'Harcourt, where, all ignor-
ant as he was when he entered it, he soon
carried away the first prizes, and became
ultimately one of it's most distinguished
scholars. His mother now paid him an
occational visit, but as she was always
accompanied by surgeon, who pulled and
cauterized, and tortured the boys leg, her
visits were more terrible than pleasing
But all the pulling, and cauterizing, and
torturing, effected no good-the lameness
was incurable. The head of the house of
Talleyrand must be a soldier-such was
the tradition of the family, and it had never
yet been departed from. A cripple could
not be soldier. 1t was announced to him
that his birthright would be transferred to
his younger brother. "Why so?" asked
the boy. because you are a cripple"
was the cruel answer.
Whatever of good might have existed in
his original nature, those words crushed
out; the flavor of their bitterness fingered
in his heart unto the last day of his death.
From the hour in which they were spoken
his disposition gradually changed; he be-
came taciturn, callous, and calculating; a
cynic, heartless debauchee, sparing neith-
er man nor woman that stood in the path
of his interest nor pleasure. He has not
been spared, why should he spare others?
1t was not for nothing he earned thereafter

FIDELIS INFIDELIS.

Mr. erode was quite in earnest when he
turned his own daughter out of DOORS
Perhaps, had he slept on the matter first,
he might have changed his mind; but, as
things were, he did not repent of his pro-
ceeding when he got up the next morning
and found that she was gone. He was not
one to own, even to himself, that he had
been in the wrong. GA good riddance of
bad rubbish" was the whole of his COM
mentary upon the affair.
At all events, he had quite given Filicia
to understand that he was fully in earnest;
and she, no doubt, knew her fathers tenn
per better than any one else could know
it. Without waiting to argue the question
perhaps, by her sense of injustice, rem
dered too proud to do so-she went straight
to her room, battling against her headache
as we'll as she could, and packed up what
she considered necessaries for her unde-
fined journey. Her idea of what were me-
cessaries and what were not would, how
ever, by no means have coincided with
that of an old traveller or of woman of
the world. She left behind her almost all
her dresses, and the greater part of her
ornaments, which had been paid for by her
father; but she carefully put into her sim
gle trunk An extraordinary number of
letters, all written in the same male hand,
and certain other trif1es, which could have
been of no use to any one in the world, in
Guiding the offending brooch of green crys-
tai, of which, indeed, she took even espe-
cial care. Since she had been forbidden to
wear it, it had grown, as a companion in
misfortune, dearer than ever in her eyes.
By this time, or rather, long before this
time, the cab had come to the door. On
going down stairs, she met Elise, who had
been also engaged in putting up her effects,
though in more business-like manner
The latter was in high state Of anger,
scarcely mitigated by the receipt of her
months wages, which her late master had
thought it best to pay, and which she, in
spite of her anger, had thought it best to
take.
81 was coming to say good-by to you,
mademoiselle. She spoke rather pertly,
and by no means kindly.
"Oh! Elise" said Filicia, hum5ly, &C.
am so sorry that this should have fallen on
you, too"
"Oh, never mind me, mademoiselle.- -

but she began to feel that the resolution to
earn ones own bread and to be independ-
ent is very easy to make over night, but
not quite so easy to carry out in the face of
the morning. She was ashamed to think
that she scarcely knew how to rise without
some attendance, and she certainly did not
know how to wash without either soap or
water or towels, of none Of which things
did she see sign. They did not seem to
be included in Josephine's notions of max

She had not been able to complain of her
bed, hard as it was; but otherwise she was
brought face to face with discomfort for
the first time, and that is harder expert

placing her feet upon the carpetless floor,
Elise opened the door and came in, and set
about doing what she could for her late
mistress, not, perhaps, like servant any

She did manage to obtain some water
though, considering that her hostess was

Elise also brought her up some coffee, much
better than that of the night before, with
some bread and butter. They were evil

dressed as plainly as she could manage, she
crept down stairs into the parlor. A man,
leaning against the chimney piece, turned
round as she entered, and she saw Arthur
Cranstoun. At all events, Elise had not
oversight herself that morning, nor, though
he was not fond of early rising, had he.
Poor Felicia! In spite of herself, her pro-
mise seemed destined to be broken; and as
for him, he, fairly enough, as think, held
himself absolved.

FR1ENDsHIP.-It is one of the severest
tests of friendship to tell your friend of his
faults. If you are angry at man or hate
him, it is not hard to go to him and stab
him with words; but SO to love man that
you cannot bear to see the stain of sin upon
him, and so speak painful truths through
loving words-that is friendship. But few
