Should any elector die or be disabled.
there is no legal method OF filing his

provision, and should one OF the cleo

the meeting of the electoral college,
which meets in every State capital on

THE EMERALD RING.

In one of the splendid palaces of the
Russian capital, a fair young girl threw
herself upon the crimson cushions of the
divan in the embrasure of a large window
Alarm and anxiety were depicted on her
features, and she constantly clasped and
unclasped her small hands, and nervously
arose and looked out into the street. and
then rested herself as if awaiting some
painful intelligence. 1t was the fair young
Natalie Radetski, the beauty of the Rus
sian court, upon whom nature and fortune
had showered every gift, and for whom
even the stern features of the Emperor
Nicholas would relax into something like
Il smile as he looked upon her beauty and
grace.
Hastily the door opened, and young
man advanced towards her.

he said, in voice broken by emotion.

young girl.

For moment neither spoke. At length,
with a powerful effort at self-control, the
young man said: :" Natalie, let me place
this ring upon your finger, and promise
me that you will wear it always in memory
of what my love has been to you. The
Emperor will force you to marry. do
not wish the thought of me to make you
always wretched.'
He placed upon her finger a ring, in
which was a single emerald of great bril-
liancy.

went on firmly: " Then read it; it will

peror allowed me this interview, and the

He clasped her convulsively to his breast,
kissed her brow and lips, and laying her
gently upon the divan, passed out. In
the street the guards awaited him.
