Do as you please, how- ever; on may reserve your fire; I am always at your service.’ I turned round to the seconds and told them I did not wish to have my fire that day; and thus the duel ended for the time. I left the regiment, and retired to this village. From that time I have not passed a single day withâ€" out thinking on revenge. To day the hour has struck.’ Silvio pulled from his pocket :1 letter, which he had received in the morning, and handed it over to me. Somebtdy (it would seem, his factotum) wrote to him, front Mos- cow, stating that a certain person was soon to be married to a young and beautiful girl. ‘You guess,’ said Silvio, ‘ who. the certain person is.

Ilistcned Without moving. I was over- whelmed by strange conflicting emotions.. The servant came in and announced that the horses were ready; Silvio pressed my hand with great warmth , we embraced each other. He sat down in the telajga, where there were only two trunks, the one with pistols, the other with victuals. He took leave once more, and the horses galloped away. Some years passed away, and do- mcstic affairs had obliged me to settle in the poor village of A iii the N province. r the songs of the village women make me melancholy. At one time I took to the village .N'dlioka, but it made my head ache, and, to tell the truth, I feared lost I should become a (fruit/card from wooâ€"that is, ,a most wilful drun‘kard; of which there were several instances [I] my district. There were no near neighbors about me, except two or three woful ones, whOsc conversa- tion consisted for the most part in l'iiccoughs. and aspirations. Soliâ€" tude was certnit‘ity less intolerable. At length I determined to goto bed as early as possible, and to dine as late as possible; thus 1 shortened the evening and lengthened the day. andl found this a good plan. At four ‘ t‘etsts’ distance from me, there was a rich estate, bcIOng- ing to the Countess of B ; no- body lived on it but the stewardâ€"- The Countess had herself only once visited it for the short space of a month in the first yearof tier mar- riage. However, in the second spring of my hermit, the-rumour spread that the Countess and her huaband would pass the summer in her village. Indeed, they ar- rived in the beginning of June. The arrival of a rich neighbor is an important epoch in the life of villagers. The propriemrs and their servants speak of it two months beforehand, and three years afterwards. As to me, I confess, the news of the arrival of a young and beautiful neighbor had conside- rable effect upon me. I burned with impatience. to see her, and therefore, the very first Sunday, after her arrival, I went in the af- ternoon to the village of Aâ€"â€"-, to offer my respect to their excel- PAY, JULY so, 1862. .

'Are you sure. my friend, you would hit a card at thirty paces distance ll ‘ Some day we will try our skill,’ said the Count. ‘Atonc, time I was no had shot, but now it'is full four years since I touched a pistol.’ ‘Oh,’ I remarked, ‘in thattcase I lay a wager that your Excellency will not hitacard even at thirty pacesâ€"the pistol requires daily practice I know this .by experi- ence: in our regiment.I was con- sidered one of the best shots.â€" Once it happened thatI did not touch a pistol for a whole month; mine were at the malt it"s to be re- paired.

The best shot I ever met used to practice every day ; at [least he used to shoot three times before dinner. This was as much a custom with him as a glass of brandy.’ ~ . The Count and Connsess were glad tl'tatI began to talk. 'And how did he shootr’ asked the Count. ‘ Why. iii this manner, your Ex- cellency: sometimes he would see a fly sitting on the wallâ€"you laugh, Countess ;_ I assure you it is truc.â€"â€" Well, he would see the fly, and call out, ‘Kozho’, a pistol,’ and Kuzlia woultlwbifiing him a loaded pistol; he would pull the trigger, and the fly would be struck into the wall.’ ‘Tliat is wonderful 1’ said the Count. ‘And what was l'iisnamel’ ‘ Silvio, your Excellency.’ ‘Silvio l’ exclaimed the Count, rising from his seat. ‘You knew Silviol’ "1‘0 be sure I knew him. He and I were friends. He was re- ccived in our regiment as a brother officer. But now it is more than lcncies, as their-nearest neighbor and most humble servant. The servant took me into the Count’s study,and wcnttoannouncc me. The vast apartment was fur- nished with the greatest possible luxury; around the Walls thcrc stood book-shelves, surmounted by bronze busts; over the mantle-piece there was a large locking-glass; the loor was covered with green cloth, and carpets thrown over it.â€"-â€"â€" In my obscure corner 1 had become a stranger to luxury; and not hav- ing any of the other comforts here, I felt unmmfortable, and waited 5 the Count with a certain degree ofl like a petitioner‘- fear, something from the country, who aWaits the appearance of a minister. The doors were opened, and a distin- guished-looking mun entered the room. The Count approached me with an open and benevolent coun- tenance. l summoned up sufficient courage to begin an apology, but he did not allow me to complete the sentence. We sat downz'nis Conversation, free and pleasant, soon dispersed the modesty I had acquired in the wilderness. I al- ready began to feel myself at home, when suddenly the Countess came in, 1nd I was more confused titan before. Truly she was most beau- tiful. The Count introduced me to her; I wished to appear at case, but the moral tried to put on a graceful mien, the more awkward and i‘idicutousl felt. In order to get accustomed to my new acquaint- ances, they spoke for some minutes to each other, treating me as they would a good neighbor, with cere- mony. Meantime, I began to Walk up and down, looking at the books and pictures. I 'am no connoisseur of paintings, but there was one which strongly attracted my atten- tion. It was some view in Switzer- land: however, it was not the painting of the picture which struck me, but the fact that it was pierced by two balls, one struck upon the other. ‘That’s a good shot,’ said 1, ad- In the dressing'the Count. 172.]yjtltldst of my rural occupations,_l ‘Yes,’ said he, ‘a very remark. five years since we heard of him.â€"â€"- So it seems your Excellency knew him also '1’ ‘IlillCW him well.

To this house 1 am indebted for the best minutes ofmy life; and for one of the most painful recollections.â€" ‘Oue evening. we rode outon horse- back. My Wife’s horse got uneasy. She was frightened, and gave me the reins, and went home on foot. In the court yard I found a travel- ling lc/ogga. I was told that in my study there was a person who de- clined giving his name, but who had simply said that he had some busi- ness with me. 1” entered this room, and saw, in the dusk, a bearded man, covered with dust. He stood near the fire-place.

' I am sorry,’ he said, ‘that the pistol is not loaded with cherry- stones--â€"a ball is a heavy thing. I cannot help thinking that this is not a duel, bttt murder. I am not ac- customed to take aim at an unarmed adversary. Let us begin anew.â€" Let us draw lots who is to shoot fii'st.’ ‘ My head went round. Me- though I would not agree. At last, we loaded another pistol, and num- bered two cards. He put them into the cap which I had shot through.

I do not understand what. was the matter with me, or by what means he could oblige me to do itâ€"butâ€"I shot~â€"â€"and' llll. his pic- iure.’ The Count pointed with his finger to the pierced picture. His face was red, the Countess paler than her handkerchief. I could not check an exclamation. ‘I shot,’ continued the Count, ‘and, thank God, I missed; then Silvioâ€"that moment he was really fearfulâ€"began to aim at me. Sud- denly the door flew open. Mary rushed in, and threw her arms around my neck. Her presence restored me to my senses. ‘My poor girl, do you not see we play! flow frightened you are! Go! drink a glass of Water, and come back. I will introduce you to an old friend and companion.’ Mary still doubted. ‘Say, does my husband speak the truth ?’ she said, ttr-‘rning to the formidable Silvio, Is it true that you pre only playing P’ t l l ‘ He is always playing, Countess,’ answered Silvio. ‘Once he gave me a blow on the face. It Was in fun that he pierced my cap with a ball.

I deliver you up to your own consciencc.’ ‘He was on the point of going; but he stopped at the door, looked around for the picture I had hit, fired almost without taking aim, and disappeared. My wife fainted; the servants did not dare to stop him. He went out to the entrance- gatc, called his gamsc/it'ek, and was away before I could recover my senses} The Count stopped. In this mauv tier I learned the end of the tale, the beginning of which had atone time so powerfully interested me.â€" I never met our here again. They say that during the rebellion of Ypsilanti, Silvio was at the head of a body of troops, and that he was killed at the battle of Skalvari.

His friend agreed, and the pair proceeded to divest themselves of some of their gar- ments, and lay down, each with his head resting on one of the scrapers as it might on a pillow.
