Night in Siberia.
Corr. n. Y. Herald

It is not SO uninteresting as one would
imagine, this sledging across thousand
miles Of boundless steppes. There is q
certain pleasant excitement in listening
to the never-ceasing jingle of the bells
on the harnessed horses, and in speeding
over the ground at furious rate day af-
ter day and night after night The in
tense whiteness Of the snow, the cruel,
nlonotonous plains, the dreary villages
arc always the same, but the phenomena
of nature are ever changeful and some-
times beautiful. When the storms do
not drive the snow in pitiless fashion
over the steppes, when the burran has
subsidized, the sun shines all day long
and the sky is clear and unclouded from
horizon to horizon. The day passes by
i'll dreary uniformity; you tire of gazing
ever and ever on the unnatural glaring
Wilderness Of the snow, but your imagin-
alton is never lille. The wastes of white
ness seem to you to be a vast ocean that
has been frozen fast in moment and
then held in the thousand forms it as
s1lmes in reality. Rolling pillows and
choppy seas are all there. A long line
of brushwood or feeble vegetation seems
to you like people on summer bathing
strand and you can easily imagine for a
moment that you are looking at the
bathers on Manhattan Beach. Then the
sun goes down, and for a short spell the
broad, endless sea of snow is bathed in
warmer tints and the sky is painted in
all the colors of the rainbow, from the
horizon far up into zenith. There is no
darkness of night. The sun has disap-
pearel, but the snowlght enables you to
see far away on every side. Then the
moon rises, small, insignificant orb,
but bright and cold as an electric glow.
About just such a moon the poet must
have written the line:-
1.-The moon hath hung her lamp on high"
for she seems for all the world like an
ordinary round globed electric light sus-
pended only few hundred feet above
the earth and only half mile distant
You can scarcely believe at first that it
is your old friend Luna, accustomed in
warmer climes to shed her mellow light
Oh wood and valley and to halo in deli
cious glory the heads of devoted lovers
in their sweet wanderings in garden and
meadow, by river, lake and ocean side.
Here she is cold and bright, and so near
that you think she will be tumbline
down from the sky upon your mead; and
she cares nothing for lovers, at least in
the dreary winter tide on the steppes.
But she lights the traveller on his way
through the Siberian night bravely and
faithfully. Toward morning, however.
she becomes obscured by dense mists
that seem to rise up suddenly and pre-
vent you from seeing anything twenty
yards distant, and which inger will
piercing bitterness till the sun rising il
the morning dispels them as quickly a
they came. Very curious are the effect
produced by these dense mists, through
which the nearest object takes on mar
velous form and shape.

OUR BLUE BLOOD.

Two centuries and half ago
OF trudged to work with shouldercd hoe
woman, barefoot, Drowned and rough,
With pluck OF Puritanic stuff.
Six lusty children tagged behind,
All hat!ess, shocless, unconhned,
And happy as the birds that flew
About them. Naught Of books they knew
save one they read at twilight hour,
Brought with them in the staunch Mayhower.
A pretty lady thin and white,
In hammock swinging light,
tanguishes, and in the shade
Devours rhyme and lemonade,
While bending near, her lover signs,
And gently fans away the flies.
She nlurmurs, "Tis so nice that we
Are neither of low family,
But of old Puritanic stock,
That landed upon Plymouth Rock."
