MY ITTLE BO Y .ASLEEP. Just now I miued from the hall and stiir A joyful trblo that 1iad*wn'. As dear to me as that grave toue That tells the world my older care. - And little footsteps on the floor Were st yed. I laid aside my pen, Forgot my theme, and listened-then Stole softly to the library door. No sigh ! no sound !-a moment's freak, Of fancy thrilled my pulses through; "If-no" and yet the fancy drew A father's blood from heart and cheek. And then-I found him. There ho lay, Surprised by slop, caught in the act, The rosy vandals who had sacked His little town and thought it pay. The shattered vase, the broken jar; A match still smonldering on the floor; The inkstand's purple pool of gore; ''he chessmen scattered near and far; Strewn leaves of albums lightly pressed This wicked "Baby of the Woods;" Tn fact, of half the ioIulhl goods This son and heir was seized-possessed. 1et all In vain, for sleep had caught '1ho hand that reached, the feet that strayed; And fallen in that ambuscade ''ho victor was himself o'erwrought. What though torn leaves and tattered book* Still testified his <1eep disgrace; I stooped and kissed the inky face, With its demure and cali outlook. 'Tlhen back'I stole, and half beguiled My guilt, in trust that when my sleep Should come, there might bo one who'd keel An equal mercy for his cLid. BEET HAnTE. SERF TO SOVEREIGN THE ROMANTIC POssmInlTIES Or RUsiTA' IItsTony. At Ringen, a village of Livonia, Rus sin, on the 27th of January, 1(89, a gir was born, name,l Martha A-:b. whom history 1s so w(nderful it seems idea rather than real. When she was h)etweonl four and l-iv %years of age her parents dino, leaving le mn so destitute ia (on(ditoin I but the par. i-lh elerk, out of pityv, lIovidled lior wit h n home in his family. Soon afterward, lr. Gluek, a Lut her fim minister of Marieiihnrg, near Rtingen, on his way through the1( latter phiae, chinned to flee the child; and was so pleased with her appearance that he v(llnteered to take her tinder his ow\l protection. As the expense necessary to her sup port was (lnite all item to one receivini his snmll inone, and, beside, knowini thl:at her llvanltages would bo greater at .larienburg than at Ringen, the clerl willingly committed Martha to the uin. ister's eare. Bright, active, nmiahle, she shortly ( ndeared herself to every member (;t )r. (l uk's honselold, and manifested1 :1 great iii"sir(' to 1i useful, she Was in 1 icted into the mysteries of housekeep. .ii , and retdered his wife notable fls1sanlce.. Iii 1702 she was sought inl marriage by a brave and honoral)lo oflicer o? the Svedislh garrison of the Marienburg t.hen under the government of Swedel-. and, with the approval of her foster. fat her, consented to become his wife. .Just prior to her murriage (liestruggle Itw RV:lIissia a1nud 0weden1 begau, and s nme anutho"s aillirm t hat on heir wedlding 'L".,.others that on the next day after, I.:ienil1airg wais I aken b y thie Nussian a rmy.

PeLer the (Grea. enijoyed nothing hot1 ter thani to dine with his favorites (quit(e informally. One day, while seated at the table of Prince Menchikoffy, a visioin of loveliniess in the gu iso of a young~ wo manii who had pour11ed wine into his e.up~ caused a laugh on his lips to die awvay, and wuhen she went from (1he roonm: '"Who is sh1o ?" he asked, tremulouislv. "My slave," was (ihe response8(. "'I dlesire to pulrchase her, andi wvil pay ainy price you ak." "If shall lhe pleased if your majesty will accept her, " saidl tho' prince, dlefer entially, however- averse to parting with lins "' slave" he may have been. Thlat very (lay Ciathierine went to Mos cow with the Czar. By her chceefulneios gentleness, and mental vigor she ae <llired great inlece over him, and finially lie t ransacted oil business with his ministers in her presence, frequentliy asking her advice with reference to iini portanlt matters. In 1707 he privately married her. For several years tho marriage was not made pu1lhho, but her position and power were well unodersto-od. Peter was subject to attacks of de spondency, which almostamounited to) in samity, and caused him thle most acnto phyeil Buffering. Wili they last ed lie was absolutely dahngerous, bunt even then Catherine hesitated not to aip>roaeb, him, and found that her voice and touch calmed his mind and soothed his pain. So she accompanied him on all his jour. newVs and expeditions, (looming her pres 01n00 eisentiial to his comfort, if not to his ver.y existence. . Ii Maroh, 1711, he publicly avowed his marnasgo with Catherine, and ealled upon Russia to acknbowle-ge her as Czanna. A few months later hostilities were bo gun against him by the Sultan of Turkov~ a und he set forth to moot the Turks * 'ear the Pruth, a river that' forms the boundary beCtween the Russian and '. Turkish dominions, the two armiies en.. countered each other. The position wvas an unfortunate one for Peter, and 'he found himself comp)letely surrounded by troops numbering fve times as many as For three days the Turks endeavored .odree a, passage through the Rusian ]mfes, unsuccessfully,. Then the Great VIder, com'nandmie the Sultan's emy 2'esolvoA to starve our. the enem. rcon Several tho gn' Tensan ln fallen on thbbaftle'flold; their ammutni tion and provisions vere alnost ex haustod, they suffered terribly from W thirst. Further reaistanceo seemed bpth foolish and useless, and Peter, in despair, retired to his tent. lDespite his orders that no one be ad Imitted to his presence, Catherine went! of to him, and, by her tact and energy, of- se, f'cted the salvation of his honor. At a i her dictation, Sheremetief wrote a letter at to the Grand Vizier, which led to a de- oo clarat ion of peace. The story that she. m[ gave her jewels and money collected from of the soldiers, to the Vizier, as a bribe, is 01 wtithout. fonntlation. On the 10th of February, 1712, she fol was regularly proclaimed Czarina., with te eonsiderable ponlp and splendo1'r, t-hongh he the ceremony was less Inagiticent th'aui lo it voutld havo been save for the disasters a of the recent var. li For many yelars Poter and Catherine w lived together ht ppily, but in 1724 there la was an unpl avantnes which led to their wi s'paration, caused by certain rumours m alfectinr her mtegrity. However, when ti he dit .ranuary 28, 1725, it was in her tlh Immediately after Peter's death, Cath-ell erine was p)roelaimed Empress of all the c1( Rwsias. T'1he beginning of her reign mis miarked by munerons acts of clem e:cy. She freed many prisoners, ro called sione who had been exiled, and h prevelted the execution of not a few who had be-en eidemned to death. Nor were her friends of former days forgot- t ten. Sh1e pensioned the w\'idow Of D1)r. Glu;ck, who atlid died ia prisoner at 10s cow; made hlis son i ptge, settled a large nnuity upon eatbh of his two eldest daughters, and adnmeed the youngest I to be one of her maids of honor. o Her reign was of short duration. She died May 27, 1727, of a cancer, aggrava fl d by her irregular habits and an ex. ti essive use of wine. It has been assert d that her death was caused by poisof .e administered in a cup of wino. But T there is no reason for believing such a report. Some writers have (laimud that a de sire that one of her children should sue ceed to the throne itlineneel her to eimbl)itter the Czar's feelings against Alexis, his son by a wife whom he had divorced; that his son wias committed to t prison, where he died at her instigation. She has also b een hlarged wit it causing n her linshan(d's death by poisoning him Both im)ltlations are false. It is not to be presumed I hat her char. aeter was wholly free from defeets.

No Rodt Day or Nigst. In the fall of 1875 my sufferings woro terrl - ble. 1 was s*pllen to such proportions that I feare.l my imbs would burst. I had the best medical talent obtainable, and at the wolst stage of my illness, when my husband and iany friands had given me up to die, the late Dr. John Woodbury made a thorough examination of my water, and pronounced my case acute kidnay disease, bordeiing on Bri ht's disease, and acdonrpanied by gravel, and recommended the immdiato use of Hunt's Remedy. At this time I was tutfer ing most terrible pain in my back, limbs and head, and could find no rest daiy ornight for weeks, and I was growing weaker daily until this kind physician ordered me to take hlunt's Reeiody. Before taking half of one bottle I commenced to improve, and after taking six bottles was entirely cured. This was nearly eight years ago, and I have had 1:o return of the disease. I have recom mended lHunt's Itemotly to others in similar cases, and it has never failed to cure. I have also uneo. it for sick headache, and found in it a sure relief. I think it the best medicine nmade, and cheerfully recommend it to all. MRS. W. H. S'T'ILSON, No. 16 Tyler Street, Boston, Mass. April 18, 1883.
