The Faithful Sentinel.

Peter the Great was a tyrant, but, on the
whole, his tyranny did good service for his
Russian subjects. Arbitrary, as all despots
must be, he was not without rude notions of
Justice, and a certain consideration for those
who merited encouragement. One day a
young recruit was standing guard before the
door of the entrance TO Peters private cham
berS in the palace of st. Petersburg He had
received orders to admit no one. As he was
passing slowly up and down before the door,
Prince MentChikotf, the favorite minister of
the Car, approached, attempting to enter He
was stopped by the recruit. The prince, who
had the fullest liberty of calling upon his mas
ter at any time, sought to push the guard and
pass him, yet the young man would not move,
but ordered His Highness to stand back
"You fool" shouted the prince, don't you
know me-
The recruit smiled, and said, VERY well,
Your IIighneSs, but my orders are pcremptory
to let nobody pass
The prince cxaspcrated at the low fellows
impudence, struck him blow in the face with
his riding-whip.
Strike away Your IIighness," SAID the sol
dicr, "but cannot let YOU go IN"
Peter, in the room, hearing the noise outside,
opened the door and inquired what it meant
and the prince told him. The Car was amused,
but said nothing nj the time In the evening,
however he sent for the prince and the soldier,
SAYING
That man struck YOU in the morning; now
YOU must return the blow TO that fellow with
my stick
The prince was amazed. Your Majesty
