A Wedding i'm Russia.

The guests are far more numerous
at Russian than at an English we'd
ding. They are invited TO be ''as-
sistants" at the wedding. The wit
ness, who is generally the grandest Of
the connections" of the family, Is
the most important person. lie pays
the priests fees. Then come the la
dies of honor and the bridemen. The
latter have to purchase sweetmeats
for the bridemaids. The "boyarin, "
who carries the sacred picture of
Christ in silver and gilt, is generally
a little boy. When the party arrives
at the church il is his duty to hand
the two pictures to the ''reader," }" who
places them behind the "royal gates
or leaning against the altar screen.
The old nurse, or housekeeper, SUI
perintends the carrying Of the dowry
from the house Of the bride 10 that Of
her future husband, and arrangos
everything for the use Of the bride.
There is no law as TO the number Of
bridemaids or their costumes, Their
dresses are not alike, On the eve Of
the wedding day sometimes a "fare-
well girls party" is given. No gem
tleman attends this. All those present
must be from the unmarried. They
sing choruses, chase each other in
the garden aud romp TO their hearts
content. They devour any amount
of tea, of ice cream, lemonade and
sweetmeats. After supper they say
farewell, and leave the intended bride
very exhausted in view OF the cere-
monies of the following day.
The old custom b for the betrothed
pair to fast (eat nothing) on the day
of their marriage until the ceremony,
which, in the family Of noble, al-
ways takes place In the evening. This
makes the day most tresome 20 the
girl. The bride distributes her cast
off girlish toys, ribbons and iewelry

Her La FOntaine.

A schoolroom copy, soiled and worn,
And marked with signs of childish grief;
With here and there page half-torn,
And here and there a folded leaf.
Some fables pencilled to insure
The notice of unthinking youth,
And at the foot her signature
In sign of work accomplished-Ruth.
Sweet student. did you ever think,
While learning with such patient pains,
That any after chance would link
Your name IN rhyme with La Fontaine's?
Assuredly you could not guess
That L to-day in very sooth
Am dreaming of the fablist less
Than of his commentator-Ruth.
Who were you? Can it be this book
You learned from, as its margins tell,
In later days of life you took
As governess to Camberwell?
Brave little heart that would finch,
So strong to hide the bitter truth!
True sister of our true Tom Pinch,
His loving, loyal little Ruth!
So when like children forth YOU two
Went, when your weary work was done
The childlike Frenchman went with you
Northward to merry IsIington.
He clung to you through each fresh stage
OF life, and Times devouring tooth
Has spared us still this pencilled page,
In memory of its mistress-Ruth.
And have you met them now, the man
That knew you, and the man you knew?
1 sometimes think, be all untrue.
And somewhere past earth's dull domain
The unforgotten friends of youth
In spirit land may meet again,
Charles Dickens, La Fontaine, and-Ruth.

Master and Reapers.

The master called to his reapers;
Snake scythe and sickle keen,
And bring me the grain from the uplands,
And the grass from the meadows gre N:
And from off the mist-clad marshes,
Where the sat waves fret and foam,
Ye shall gather the rustling sedges
To furnish the harvest home"
Then the Iaborers cried ''Oh, master,
We will bring thee the yellow grain
That waves on the windy hillside,
And the tender grass from the plain;
But that which springs on the marshes
Is dry and harsh and thin,
Unlike the sweet field grasses,
So we will not gather it in''
But the master said so foolish!
For many a weary day,
Through storm and drought ye have labored
For the grain and the fragrant hay.
The generous earth is fruitful,
And breezes of summer blow
When these, in the sun and dews of heaven,
Have ripened soft and slow.
''But out on the wide, bleak marshland
Has never plow been set,
And with rapine and rage of hungry waves
The shivering soil is wet.
There flower the pale green sedges,
And the tides that ebb and flow,
And the biting breath of sea wind,
Are the only cares they know.
''They have drunken of bitter waters,
Their food hath been sharp sand,
And yet they have yielded a harvest
Unto the masters hand;
So shall ye all, o reapers,
Honor them now the more,
And garner in gladness, with songs of praise,
The grass from the desolate shore"

sheridan's story of Appomattox.

The description of the events sue
ceeding the first announcement Of
Lees surrender, which is given ia the
article by the late General Sheridan,
published in the September number
of the North American ReCieio, will
be found most interenting one TO
readers OF the literature Of the war.
1t differs very materially from that
which has been published by Gen.
Gordon, as well as from other pub
! lished accounts. Sheridan's cavalry
had been brought up into position TO
cut off Lees retreat from Appomat-
| tox, and on the morning of April 3
had sharp engagement with the adj
vance guard of Lees army. Before
night the confederates were driven
back TO the vicinity of AppomattoX
Court House, and the general feeling
throughout Sheridan's command was
that the morrow would end the mat
ter. The fighting was, however. re-
newed the next morning, and Sheri-
dan was soon opposite AppomattoX
Court House, at some distance TO the
enemy's right. In the low valley lay
Lee and the remnant Of his army,
while Longstreet was still further
away with the rear guard. just as
preparations were being made for a
sweeping charge down the slope, there
came the news to Sheridan from Gus
ter, "Lee has surrendered.
Sheridan then with his STAFF started
on a gallop towards a group Of oflic.
ers near by the lines of confederate
troops that had fallen back. "Be-
fore we had gone far" he says, "a
heavy fire was opened from a skirt Of
timber to our right, and distant not
over 800 yards. halted for a mo-
ment taking off my hat, called out
that the flag had been violated, but
which soon caused us all To take shell
ter in the ravine running parallel to
the ridge, and down which we then
travelled" He then sent a staff oilic-
er to the group TO demand what the
firing meant, and apologies were
made to the effect that il was a mis-
take.
General Gordon received Sheridan,
but hardly were the first greetings
over than furious firing began again.
Sheridan said: General Gordon,
your men fred on me as | was COM
ing over here, and undoubtedly they
have done the same TO Merritt's and
Clusters commands. We might just
as well let them fight il out" Gen.
Gordon, however, was unwilling 10
accede to this proposition, and ac-
cepted Sheridan's offer of a staff ollic-
er TO notify the confederates 20 stop
firing. Lieutenant Allen was accord
ingly dispatched to General Geary,
who promptly made him prisoner,
with the remark that he didn't care
for white flags, that South Carolini-
ans never surrendered. Geary kept
up his firing, and Merritt finally or
dered charge that sent Geary's
brigade flying. 1t was during that
charge that the last gun Of the war
was fired, so far as Grants and Lees
armies were concerned, and two
hours later the articles Of surrender
had been signed by Lee, Gen. Sher-
idan's description of this is intensely
dramatic in its simplicity, and hs pa
per is one of the most interesting
and valuable of the numerous war pa
pers recently published.
