No? \Vell, I’ll tell you. V “ In 1850, the Nicholas laih-oad, from St. l’etci'sburg to M oscowg-about 500 milesâ€"â€" was finished, and a number of Russian gen- emls put their heads together to get a, profit- able contract out of the Government. The scheme they hit upon was to keep the rolling stock of the road in repair for ten years. The Minister of Public \Vorks, who was in the ring, made a contract with them by which it was agreed to pay them eight cents»f0r every mile a passenger car went over 'the road, four cents a. mile for each freight car, and so on. The document having been pro- perly drawn, was carried by the Minister to the Emperor Nicholas, and handed to him to Sign. “ ‘ \Vhat is this ‘2’ asked the Czar. “ ‘Yonr Imperial Majesty, it is a. plan for reducing the expenses of the Government, in the management of the new railroad. A wry advantageous contract, your Majesty.’ “ Nicholas glanced ‘at it. “ ‘ Yes, but what- do my Generals know about mil-wa s,’ said he; and then, after a. moment’s re ection, he asked, ‘\Vhere are tllrise‘rAmericans who were here building C‘ {IT‘S lus‘ “ Presently the Alnel‘iCauS, who were “'11- liam and Thomas \Vinans of Baltimore, were ushered into his presence. “ The Czar handed them the contract. _" ‘ Do you want that ‘2’ he said.

They told him so. “ At the appointed hour they saw the ("zar and interlined some slight alterations they wanted._- These were at once acceded to, and made on the spot. The names of the \Vinans brothers were substituted for those of‘the Bossian Gene;als,:and Nicholas at- tzicheti his sigriature to the parchment. “ The \Vinans brothers made twenty mil- ‘lion fiollhr’s out of the contraict. - \VOMEN often fancy themselves to be in love when they are not“ The love of being loved, the fondness of flattery, the pleasure of giving pain to a. rival, and a passion for nov- elty and excitementâ€"are frequently mistaken for something far better and holier, till mar- riage disenchants the fair deceiver and leaves her astonished at her own indifference and the (evaporation of her i-mnantin fancies. “v' \Vell, take it away with you, and be here at 9 o’clock to-morrow morning, and let me know whgther y01_1‘ll tgtk‘e it.‘ ‘_ “ In 1856; when Alexander, the resent glzar, was crowned,” continued Col. owan, “ Sir Robert Peel, who was well acquainted withthe Grand Duké Constantine, was in at- tendance, Before his departure from St. Petersburg, he called on the Grand Duke to take his leave. ‘ “ MA, what is lanker ?" inquired a bright- .lmkiug child, the other day. “ I’m sure I don’t know, my son, where did you hear the word ‘1” “ \Vhy, at Sunday school.

Each showed his or her transport ina (liiferent way, and each had some peculiarity of step or movement that took our idlefminds and'made us curious about their history and character.

But it is superfluous to say this ; Shaker work is always the best of its kind. He is rarely sick, and he takes part in all the de- tails of the worship, as he did when he came, sixty years ago. He was then a young man, and it is said that he visited the community from idle curiosity, with his betrothed. Its life and faith made an instant impression up- on him, and he proposed to the young girl that they both should'become Shakers ; but after due thought she refused. She said that she would not be a hindrance to his wish in the matter; if he was called to this belief, she gave him back, his promise. To the Shakers it seems right that he shOuId have accepted her sacrifice ; to some of the world outside it will seem tragic. \V ho knows ?

During the recent visit of Queen Victoria to Coburg, Germany, her attention was call- ed to a venerable tower covered with ivy, a striking symbol of time’s changes and life’s contradictions. Here, during forty years, Ulrich von Lichenstcin, the lover of the nu- happy Anna of Saxony, wife of DukeJohann Casimir, lingered in prison. Let me briefly outline this sad history, which is not alone of local interest. This lady was a daughter of the Elector of Saxony, and was married to the Duke Casimir in 1586. Brought up amid the gayeties of her father’s court, she devel- oped a peculiarly lively temperament, and was ill-fitted for the quiet, lonely life which fell to her lot after marriage. The Duke, a passionate lover of the chase, appears to have neglected his young wife, and she fell into the snare laid for her by one Scotus, a brilâ€" liant and wily adventurer who had wormed himself into'the confidence of the Duke, and secured the reputation of being a great ma- gician and alchemist. llis machinations against the young I Duchess were directed toward the result of getting possession of her jewels, and bringing her into a guilty reâ€" lation with Von Lichenstein, a gallant oflicer of the Duke’s household. Scotus succeeded in his devilish intrigue all too well. The beautiful Princess became totally under his influence, falling a Victim to his sleight-of- hand arts, and following his injunctions even so far as to make overtures of love to Von Lichenstein. Scotus fled with his booty, and the relations between the Duchess and the courtier did not long remain secret. Both l confessed their guilt, and both were impris- oned. The inattenwas laid before the Con- sistory, and Duke Casimir obtained a di- vorce. leading wife of penitence for nineteen years, during all which time the misguided Duchess was kept in close capti- vity, she closed her unfortunate life in the Coburg fortress in 1613. Even a sterner fate befell Yon Lichenstein. He was condemned to perpetual and solitary confinement. His sentence was fully carried out in the old tower before the city, and his dreadful pun- ishment of forty years ended with his life in 1633. The lace of his long incarceration is incorporatefwith an elegant dwelling-house, and the Walls of the round tower now re» sound with the joyful music and noisy pas- times of happy youth, instead of the groans and sighs and complaints of the languishing captive. The Dondon papers publish the details of a remarkable murder, the perpetrator of which has been detected in a most singular manner. The victim was a little girl aged only seven years and the suspected murderer was a bar- ber named Fish. The trunk of the body of the victim was found in an open field, and the discovery of the skull was made in almost extraordinary manner. The officers secured the services of the owneriof two bloodhounds and set out with the dogs and their owner to the place where the trunk of the body was found, to see if any scent of the remaining portion of the body could be found. The dogs did not appear to scent anything. They returned and it was then decided to have the dogs taken to Fish’s shop and the shop of a barber named \Vhitehead, who also had been suspected. The detectives entered the pre- mises of‘the two barbers simultaneously, and one of them remained at Fish's shop while the other establishment was examined. From the movements of the dog the police had no reason to believe that anything was concealed, there, and the dogs proceeded to Fish‘s premises, in which there are two rooms below, and two above. The bloodhounds llll- mediater on entering the house begon to sniff all round, and evidently scented some- thing. Then the officers and dogs went up stairs, and the bloodhounds at once scented up the chimney of the front room, and the owner of the dog put his hand up the chim- ney and pulled down from the recess of the draught-hold the skull and some other por- tions of a child wrapped in a paper covered with blood. From a medical examination it was evident that the head had recently been burned, and but two teeth were remaining in the lower jaw. The prisoner was fairly over- whelmed and confessed he committed the murder and, without being aided by any one, mutilated the body and dispersed the re- lllalllfl. l'l‘ gives us great pleasure to learn that 1’.

PERSONAL. Dinah, Our Dog. A TRUE s'rom'. Dinah, or Di, was our next ; she was a per- fect beautyâ€"black and tan~and so thor- oughly good that no amount of petting could spoil her. She was intelligent beyond what dogs usually are, and obedient in everything but oneieshe Would not sleep out of the nursery. Mother tried hard to have her own way, but it was useless. Keep Di away from the children, and her pitiful howling kept all awake ; once allow her there and a braver little watchdog could not be found. Once it happened that an uncle who lived at a distance, arrived late at night ;'Di had never seen him, and as he passed the nursery door, on the way to his room, he stepped in. Yes, stepped in, but came no farther. Di rushed savagely at the slipperless feet (he had taken ofl' his boots to avoid waking 11s), and he was obliged to beat an iguominious retreat. Poor little Di looked rather amazed when mother ran upstairs, escorted the susâ€" piciousvlooking stranger into the room, and allowed him to kiss the rosy faces of her nestlings. But Di was a wise dog in her way. She soon understood matters, and Uncle Richard and she had many a game of play after this; indeed she must have had some idea of turning her mistake into a joke, for she would invariably n‘etend to bite his feet, if she chanced to see liim minus his boots. A strange habit she had was to watch for :the hens to leave the nest, and then carry the egg in her mouth to wherever my mother might be; then, laying it at her feet, she would frisk about in pride and delight. This was agreat amusement to us, you may be sure, and all went well for a time; but Di began to be impatient with the hens, and 3 would drive them oil the nest in the hope of . obtaining eggs, so we had to shut her out of the fowl-pen. ()ne old hen did not mind her, but would rufiic her feathers, and peck when Di approached, and it was amusing to see how each would watch the other, .till at length when the egg was really laid, and Blaekie condescended to leave the nest, Di would pounce upon it with a joyous bark, and carry oll‘ her prize. Cakes and sweets of all kind were her delight, and she always looked for her share, Aindeed she was looked upon almost as a member of the family, as the following will show. I can scarcely re~ member our house without a baby, so that I cannot say which of the numerous ones it was, but 1 remember distinctly one folding , its little hands in prayer, and saying, “ God bless )apa and mamma, brothers am sisters and )i.” Mother tried to correct this by saying that Di was only a dog, but baby could not quite comprehend; she had a. glimmering of it, however, for next night it was “and Di,” then in parenthesis, “Di only a dog." Poor little Di, she came to a tragical end was run over and so badly in- jured that she had to be killed to put her out of her misery. Many tears were shed for her, and she was buried with all due solemnity under our best apple tree. a? Great imlucemencs to the Trade. Price Lists and all im’ornmtion free.
