Gogol's Great Tale Of the Cossack Sies
By j. w. MULLER
Copyright BY ]. W. Muller

At once the young Cossack's battle
frenzy ran from him like water. 'Dis-
mount." said the terrible old man;
and Andreas slipped from his saddle,
making ne motion for defense. His
lips, gone suddenly pale, whispered u
single word. 1t was not the name of
mother or father. 1t was the name of
the most beautiful Polish woman.
Il gave thee life ~ said Taras Bulba.
II give thee deathl'
He lifted his long gun and fired.
The glorious young head dropped.
The 1.-THE body toppled, sank together
and fell without sound into the red
dening grass.
"He lacked nothing to be noble Cos
sack ~ murmured Taras Bulba, staring
down at the beautiful youth. "Yet he
has perished as a dog -
He mounted his horse. One moment
he paused, thinking with a great woe
in his heart that he would pause and
bury his son. Then, with an angry
motion, he galloped off and Joined the
battle with new fury and exulting
cries.
But his strong, rough, great heart
was broken.
Nikolaus Gogol (1sO9-1s52)
often is called the founder of Rus
sian realism, but in "Taras Bulba"
he gaue the world historical nouel
burning NTH romance. 1t deals
NTH the time When South Russia
Das swept continually by war, the
Tartars and Moslems making forays
into the Ukraine and the Cossacks
carrying war by horse and ship as
far as Trebizond. Often they fought
Tartars in the South and Poles in
the North simultaneously. The
story is a most piuid and accurate
picture of the times and of the
people. Those american readers
who complain that many Russian
nouels are somber and heavy will
find no SUCH faults in "Taras Bul-
ba." 1t ghtters;- and it has the
added richness of the same wild hu-
NOR that distinguishes GogoPs other
great novel, dead Souls"

Farewell

Go thou thy way and l go mine,
Apart, yet not afar;
Only thin veil hangs between
The pathways where we are.
And "God keep watch tween thee
and me-
This is my prayer.
He looks thy way, He looked mine,
And keeps us near.
| know not where thy road may lie,
Or which way mine will be;
If mine will lead through parching
sands,
And thine beside the sea.
Yet God keep watch tween thee
and me"
So never fear;
He holds thy hand, He claspeth mine
And keeps us near.
And tho our paths may be apart
And thy way is not mine;
Yet, coming to the mercy seat,
My soul will meet with thine.
And "God keep watch tween thee
and me-"
I'll whisper there;
He blessed thee, He blessed me,
And we are near.

The Charge of the Old Hundredtl
Half bar, half a bar,
Half a bar onward,
Into an awful ditch
Choir and precentor pitch
Down to the lowest niche
Leading Old Hundredthl
Trebles to right of him,
Tenors to left of him,
Basses in front of him
Beloved and thnndered.
Oh! that precentors look
When the sopranos took
Their own time and book
From the old Hundredthl
Sereeched all the tenors here,
Bugled the BASES there,
Raising the parsons hair
While his mind wandered.
Theirs not to reason why
This tune was pitched too high,
Theirs but to gasp and cry,
Out the Old Hundredth!
Dire the precentor's glare,
Waving baton in air,
Trying his best to scare
Forth the Old Hundredth.
Swiftly he turned his back,
Snatched he his his hat from rack,
Then from the screaming pack
Himself he sunderedl
Tenors to right of him,
Trebles to left of him,
Discords in back of him
Beloved and Numbered.
Oh! the wild bowls they wrought,
Right to the end they fought.
Some tune they sang, but not
Not the Old Hundredthl
