A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. w' " Tqhaikoffsky was but a more tshi novnik, like you and me, beforo he hi wade his daring plungc into the Rubi- P' con that separates dull every-day life from the sphere of Art, and see what, he brought it to ! Rubinstein is a pigmy to him now. Take heart o.1 courage, old boy, you have at brilliant career before you. You only need a grain of faith and a deal of pluck, and th all the rest is plitin sailing." The speaker, Michael ivanovitch Petrolf, was a. low-sized, stout, fair haired man of about 34, one of those unconecious idealists often to be fotind in Russia, who are never so happy as when they are getting a friend out of ta a dilliculty or helping him to a tri- dc unph. His companion, a clerk, like himself, in the service of the Ministry of the Interior, answered to the ntamo of Vladimir Skripkin, and although a handsomoe-lookingr man of some 3o years, or thereabouts, gave one the impression that he belonged to the pitiable category of will-less indivi duals who slink through life as noise lessly as they can, content if they got W in nobody's way, and positively happy if they manage to keep body and soul together without sulfering the pangs f, of hunger or the pains of imprisoiment. Skripkin had been to the university, % hut only for a few months havingt been found present at an illegal muot ing of the students, whither he had t strayed by the merest of accidents, he was rusticated for a year, ani never returned. In the government ollico he was priobably the Most industrious and I conscientious of all the clerks, never refusing to take all nianer of extra work, to which he occasionally devoted his evenings. At honie he was a niusi cian ; that is to say, having been ac custotned to play the piano asinc he was 8 or 9, h11 had ac(I uired a tloroigh comumand over the key.%s, nild could execute almnost, any thing, from1 a w.lt zA of Strauss to a mnoreutna of '.slaikoll sky's, witl at (egret' (Of cOTrrectnss aMiI sentiment whih was highly creditable in a potty tshinovnik wlio receiviel Iut, 80 roubics a mothi. 11i alo composed various dlances and reveries h hu, with the solitary exceptionI of a polka. printed at his friend P'etrol's .pne none of them had ever ItieI (even looked at by a pubdsler.
