HONESTY FEARED.
A STRIKING STORY or THE LATE GAR
NICHOLAS.

OF tho latc Cxar, "A Russian Mill
ist' tells, in the North American Re-
view, striking story. A young stu
dent u relative Of the writer, had,
with u few friends, formed u literary
society IN which the works Of conteln-
porary political economists, publicists
aud philosophers were read and de-
batod. The secret police denounced
this society as n revolutionary organ
ization, and the young student was
imprisoned and condemned to Siberia.
All possible influence was brought to
bear upon the Car, but IN vain; and
at last the young mans mother, meet
Ing the Car one day In the Summer
Garden, knelt and implorcd her sons
pardon, asserting his innocence. The
Car seemed touched. and promised
to give the youth u personal inter.
view. The latter was brought to his
Majesty the next day, and tho Gar,
forcing him on his knees before m
image Of the Savior, exclaimed: "Can
you swear before the Almighty God
that neither you nor your associates
had any criminal design against my
life 7 Can you swear that you believe
in tho holiness and eternity Of the
Russian a,tocrncy 7" The surprised
prisoner answered: ~ can swear Ia
your Majesty that neither | nor any
Of my friends had tho rcmotest ideu
against your safety. Az to the auto
cratic form Of government I cannot
conscientiously swear that l believe
in It's eternity. The history Of other
countries tcaches us that tho time
must come, even in Russia, when the
people itself will take part In the gov.
ernment." Tho Car tenderly embrac.
ed the student, and, giving him II ring
drawn from tho imperial finger, said
"rhis isa token Of respect from youl
Car. You have been sincere md
truthful to me, md there il nothing
hate 50 much ns u lie." He then up.
preached the writing table, whore lay
the students sentence Of exile, and
with one stroke Of the pcn--signed
the paper! ~ pity you from the
bottom ofheart," he said: "you are
m honest man, and an honest man
true to his convictions, Is more dan.
gerous to autocracy than an unprinci.
pied rascal. Therefore must punisl
You, though never was this duty more
painful to me than now. God bles,

Then, once more embracing the stu
dent, he dismissed him to Siberia.
