Sixty Years IN a Russian Prison.

Or. L. J. Dillon i'll harpers Maga-
zine for March: a Russian OF today
WHO, without leaving his church,
breaches unorthodoX sobriety. truthful-
ness, honesty and clean living, attracts
mis- fellow men and makes them better
than he found them, is complained of
by the priests ana whirled away to the
cloister prison. There he is no longer
thrust into Il stone sack. as in Olden
times, hut iminured in a bare, narrow
cell, the walls OF which are Shiny with
ooze The one little light aperture has
three window franIeS-tWo iron graf
ings and pane Of semiopaque green
ish glass. He is denied pen and paper,
is foI hidden to talk with the guards,
receives no letters nor writes any, and
forteitS his very name. in lieu of
which he has a number. In word,
he is dead. and is waiting only to be
buried. From time to time a priest
may enter his cell and eXhort him to
abandon his error" but after the first
few months even this opportunity of
hearing a human voice is taken away,
and he is left With only such hope as
death may fulfill. And some of these
obscure martyrs have waited long for
that merciful end. One man. named

And the barriers fall,
Though a bates to fight ere the guerdon

The best and the last.

And babe me creep past.

The heroes of old,
Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad life s

OF pain. darkness and cold,
For sudden the worst turns the best to

The black minutes at end,
And the clements rage, the fiend voices

Shall change, shall become first peace

over, shook their heads in disappoint-
ment that no dickerng was possible,
and drifted into the tap room of the

up their ears and wanted to see the
horse. And it so went on until the
