Whea they had reached her heuse she ordered her carriage to drive Pastouchof home, and, than ing him for his amlability, expressed'a hope that he would soon pay her a visit. Pastouchof called next day, and thus commenced an ac- quaintance which ended in his falling deeply in love with the charming widow. A year and a half after his first introduction he ceased to fre- quent her house; was taken {ll next winter, and died in the following Recember. Some sixteen months before his death he confessed to his elder brother that he had lost 0) roubles (i. ¢. £20,000) Lo Mrs. Artemovsky at cards; that he had paid her in fuil, and that now he was ex- tremef¥ anxious to break off the acquaintance, but that she ay e him no peace, and continually kept sending him invitations to her house, The elder brother advised him to pay no notice to her entreaties, and his good advice? was followed. During the Llness of the deceased, however, the prisoner did allin her power to procure aa inter- | view with him, byt failed. A few weeks after Nicholas Pastouchof's fu- neral Mrs. Artemoysky wrote to the younger her, requesting him to call on her, as she desired to speak to him on business. When he saw her she informed him that she had three bilis in’ her possession, which she had obtained from the deceased for money he had borrowed ot her. The sum total came to 53,000 rubles. Besides being struck by the fact that lus brothe: who had left a fortune of £150,000, should hav: borrowed money from a compiarative stranger, the youngest Pastouchof, on examining the sig- natures to the bills—ot which there were three— | discovered that they bore no resemblance to the | handwriting of the deceased, The next day the bills were taken away from her by order of the Procurator Fiscal, examined by experts, and declared by them to be forgeries. When qies- Uoned as to how and from whom she had pro- cured the bilis, she was Incautlous enough to declare that they were given to her directly by the deceased himself. ‘The question therefore turned upon whether she or the late Pastouchof had commiited forgery—she by imitating what she eonsidered his handwriting, he by making use of asignature differing signallyfrom his own. It was proved by witnesses on both sides, in- cluding the prisoner herself, that the deceased was incapable of doing anything of the kind.

OncET, in a recent pamphlet published in Paris upon agrarian socialism in Italy, dis- cusses the possibility of preventing fa’ that country the terrible convulsion whieh over- threw the old French regime. He thinks that it cannot be avolded. Ina description of peas- ant life he illustrates the condition of the daily jJaborers Of Calabria. Until the age of 9, he says, the young Calabrian guards pigs and sheep and takes care of the donkeys. He then works in the fields and gains eight cents a day. At 15, he gains fourteen cents; at 20, seventeen, cents and what soup he needs, or twenty-five cents without soup. He then thinks of marry- ing, and lives with his wife in a one-story hut With an earthen floor, the light to which gen- erally comes by the door. If there should chance to be a window, it has neither glass nor shutters. Ills bed is of straw, and his food of the simplest description, without meat or wine. AN AMUSING GAME.—A little girl writes to St. Nicholas this description of a game they play where she lives:—A makes B, C, D and Esit down in a row with their backs toward him. Then standing behind B’s chair, Le wags his head, or scowls and threatens an unseen foe With his fist, or makes some comical cestures.at the same time asking B this question: * What ain doing?” If B's answer is right, A leaves him and tries C, and so on, ail along the line. But whoever guesses wrong ‘must tmitate just what A was doing when putting the question, — only in perfect silence. Of course, very few give the right answers, and it 1s funny to see 4 whole row of boys and girls busily making all kinds of queer motions and odd grimaces, or eed like some statues in sublime and ridicu- lous positions.

His mind is resolute, firm and equal; all his functions are in the highest order; "he assumes mas- tery over his’ business; ‘builds up a com- perence on foundation he has laid in carly manhocd, and passes through a. pe- nod of life attended by many gratifications.
