The Fight in the s:hipka Pass.
IN. Y. World.l

n. l.. W O1lu.
81 and all my men are resolved to
die at our post Such i the dispatch
which Gen. DerojinSky, the colnnan-
der of the Russian troops i'm the Schip-
ka Pass, is reported to have sent To the
Car OH the morning of August Goth
at the beginning of the Turkish attack.
The troops at his disposal numbered
not more than 5000 men. The attack
ing force was the whole Of Suleiman
Pasha's army-about 20,UDO. But up
OH the valor of these 5000 the whole
fate of the Russian campaign i'm Bulga-
ria depended. The Schipka Pass once
forced, junction between Suleiman
Pashu and Osman Pasha's armies
could scarcely he prevented, all the
Russian troops echelOned between Ga
broVa, Selvi and TirnOva would be
crushed between the two formidable
forces of the enemy, and the western
wing of the Russian army would be
faced by q Turkish force numbering
about 10000 men and elated by a Sc
ries of victories. Thus the Schipka
Pass was for General Derujinsky's
corps Il post of honor, a post of death,
and its defense becomes one of the
most remarkable episodes in modern
warfare. For three days the gallant
CORPS sustained the most terrific as
saults of the overwhelming Turkish
forces without moving an inch
from its positions. Even the nights
did not bring any rest, as the full
moon afforded sufficient light for the
deadly work to go on. During the
eclipse there was a moments rest, but
a. soon as the moons disk reappeared
from under the shadow cast over il,
the fighting began anew more desper-
ately than before.
General Derojinsl<y kept his word.
For three days and nights he did not
move from his post, ard on the third
day he was killed at the head of his
men. In the meanwhile reinforce
ments were poured i'm from the rear,
and il is scarcely now TO he expected
that the Turks will succeed in forcing
the pass. If their furious attacks were
repuIsed by the Russian forces origin
ally posted i'm the pass, they can hard
ly hope To master il now that fresh
troops have arrived OH the battlefield,
and Suleiman Pasha finds himself face
TO face with nearly equal force Occu-
pying most advantageous natural pO-
sitiOns,
But whatever the ultimate result Of
this great battle may be, the gallant
conduct of General Dcrojinsky's small
force during the first days Of the strug-
gle presents one of those instances of
calm, steadfast heroism which any ma
ton might he proud of. Those plain,
unprctcnding words, 1--WE will die at
our post scaled by the heroic death
of the General himself and thousands
of his men, after adesperate strIlg-
gIe OF forty-cight hours, Will keep the
memory of the commander and of the
regiments engaged in the strife sacred
for many a generation of the Russian
people.

THREE woxEN.

Three women, in the waning
ora drear November day,
When shadows deep were spreading
Ger the earth a mantle grey,
Sat idIing, thinking, dreaming:
One, of love, of hope, of life;
One OF wealth, of ease, of beauty;
One of care, of war, Of strife.
One with a lace uplifted,
All! a face pure, young, and fair,
With not trace of sorrow,
Not a line ofsin or care
Marring its pensive beauty
Or staining IFS spotless white,
Looked from the western window
Into the dull gray night.
One a glorious woman,
With burning passionate eyes,
With hair like dusky shadows
And lips tinged with crimson dyes,
Sat with her jeweled fingers
Swift threading a golden chain
Heeding not the winds low sobbing
Or the fall of the Winters rain.
One with q face storm beaten,
All face sorrow stained and worn,
LALd WIN a iCdAt NAAOSC OCnuAiAS
Were cruelty bruised and torn;
Sat in the deepest shadow
Dreaming there her dream again,
Praying God in his mercy
To lift from her life the pain.
Down through the dusky shadow,
Down through the dreary night,
There swept, like gleam from heaven,
A food of unearthly light;
Aud on its shining stairway,
An angel, in robes Of snow,
Came to the idle dreamers
Aud stood in the warm bright glow.
81 came"-and his voice like music
Rang through the shadowy room
And reused the dreaming women,
And lifted the gathering gloom,-
81 came to bring you heaven,
a wish that shall hll each heart;
Speak and it shall be granted,
Speak and receive each part"
"I.et me be loved aud bonored,
Let me be mother and wife,
Give me these and no others
For my joys i'll earthly Iife,'
Thus spake the pensive maiden
With face almost divine;
And the angels face grew brighter
As he said, "The gift be thine"
"Give me'wealih and power,
Give me world in my hand,
With only thuse around me
Who olive as / command"
Thus spake the glorious woman,
With passionate, burning eyes;
''Be it 50" the angel whispered,
"Your wish Is worldly and wise"
"Give me peace" sighed the other,
"Give me rest from this dreadful pain,
Let me- but once more slumber
AS tie care Tree child again"
And the angel softly whispered,
"Be at rest, world weary ono;
Peace shall come to your lone heart,
Gods will TO YOU shall be done"
There by the rosy fire-light
Sits 81 smiling, happy wife,
Aud the angels gift is round her
To perfect and bless her life.
Here in the gorgeous gas-lIght
Reigns one, a fashions queen,
Her wish, as the angel promised,
Is found in this gorgeous scene.
And down i'll the lone dark church. yard
The other. has found her rest
From This life OF toll and danger,
That was bitter at its best.
The peace the angel promised
Drew her up the shining way,
From her long night of sorrow,
Into Gods eternal day.
