congratulations usual among the Rus
sian people. 1t is the national custom
on that day to kiss relatives and ac-
quaintances on the lips, saying, 'sChrist
has risen!' The Emperor allowed only
very few of the highest dignitaries of
the State to approach him with that
congratulation. He is even reported to
have made the remark that he was as
tonished at seeing so few civil persons
among those present at the night service
in the Winter Palace. On Easter Sum
day, the 18th of April, there was some
talk about all this in the city, but the i'll
humor of the Emperor was explained by
the state of chronic fear in which he
was said to have existed for the last few
weeks. But on the morning of the 14th
of April the news spread that the En-
peror had been fired at during the walk
he is accustomed to take every morning
alone in the neighborhood of the Palace.
The better classes of Russians felt highly
indignant at the attempt. Although
most Russians have felt of late the
necessity of reforms, and often grum-
bled at their being always deferred,
nevertheless no one even among the
discontinued can forget that Emperor
Alexander it was who liberated the Rus
sian serfs, enslaved during four centu-
ries, and scorned the danger of a rising
of the mobiles, who lost so much at the
change.

What Denomination.

A bit of young loves coyness in bu-

/" 1t was at the Post-office in this village.
The demoiselle was buxom, bashful,
aged Is, and hailed from Berrytown.
She wanted a dollars worth of stamps.
One dollars worth, repeated the smil-
ing assistant, 'what denominationP'
The damsel showed symptoms of en-
barrassment and hesitated to reply.
She twirled her shawl fringe nervously,
cast her eyes about to see if any one was
near, moved little closer to the win
dow, and finally asked in a timorous
voice: DO you hef to write it downp
BY no MEANS answered the courteous
assistant; that is not necessary, but l
presume you have some preference as
to the denomination?' Ah-well-yes

scarlet, Il hev some. l generally go to
