pleasant observation in a cheery friendly
'way, and going on to break a lance with
us in wit, or to make a pet quotation of

jgets on the surface which may promise
:any amount of gold-field underneath.
' ' On the other hand, if he grumbles at
the light, or gives us a surly answer, or
.-sits on one newspaper while he engages
himself with another, how the milk of hu
man kindness curdles within us ! We
say in our haste, ail men are bears alike.
The greatest one I ever traveled with
was on a short journey from London to
Brighton, when I was a wicked young
cadet at Sandhurst, and in company with
two others at the same college. We
three had been, of course, late for the
' train ; and, while it was on the move,
bundled into the first carriage we laid
hold of, and it turned out to be the den of
a white bear. He had a white hat and a
white great-coat, and growled in a polar
manner at our sudden incursion. I was
but fifteen, and felt inclined to beg his
pardon, but Darall and Goitt were older
. and stiffed-neeked.
" Sir," said the former, after a minute
or two, " have you any objection to our
. smoking in this carriage ?"
. " I'd like to see you at it !" was the
grim response.
" Your wish, sir," answered my friend,
" is our law." And his cigar was alight
- in a twinkling.
"Have a weed yourself, sir?" said
. Goit, generously; but he did not dare look
the infuriated animal in the face.
For my part, I had enough to do in
the judicious management of my Havana ;
for although I smoked regularly at that
time because it was forbidden, the amuse
ment nearly made me ill. So I said
nct'uing.
Presently Darall produced a pack of
cards, and appealed to our companion's
sense of duty to induce him to take a
hand at whist, " For otherwise," he pa-
thetically concluded, " we shall be posi
tively reduced to play dummy."
"Nevermind, young gentlemen never
mind," was the answer ; " we shall see
when we get to Reigate who has got the
laugh on their side."
On approaching the station we pru
dently threw away our cigars. And not
too soon ; for the instant we reached the
platform, the white bear rushed between
us, and, putting his head out of the win
dow, called lustily for the guard. "I
give !" said he, with immense excitement
" I give these boys in charge, for smo
king in my carriage !"
" Gentlemen ! what have you to say to
this?" said the official.
"Simply," replied Darall, while I shud
dered at his presence of mind " simply,
that it was not we who were smoking at
all it was the white gentleman himself
smell him Is it not so?"
We assented to this monstrous state
ment with eagerness.
"And, moreover," continued our leader,
M he wanted us to play at cards with him i
for money!"
At this the old gentleman absolutely
foamed at the mouth. This gave a color
to our next proceeding, which was to tap
our foreheads with our forefingers, and to
whimper in chorus, "He is mad, we think !"
The foe, being overpowered by weight of
evidence, and in the state we had de
scribed him to be, got straightway into
another carriage.

RUSSIAN MANNERS.
An amusing anecdote illustrative of
Russian manners is tely a late travel
ler in the north of Eurfvpe.
An officer in the prime of manhood, of
high rank in the Russian army, was ap
pointed by the late Emperor Nicholas to
the command of a remote province of the
Empire. ....... r
On his arrival at the chief town of his
government, he was visited by the nobil
ity and great officers of tne district, and
among the rest by a certain Count, whom
he recognized as one of r.is old classmates
at a military school, wlw!uo they had par
ted in hostilities on aT t ofVan insult
received by the count, which lie had not
courage to resent. Of all the visitors
this count was the most overwhelming in
his civilities, meeting the governor as
one whom he had never seen before, he
endeavored to give the impression that
they had always been strangers to each
other. To 'his new ruler bespoke as if
he had no remembrance of his person or
name, and played his part so well that
the former was almost convinced that the
youthful general had escaped Lis recol
lection. Knowing, however, the dura
tion of a Russian's resentment, the gov
ernor prudently resolved to be upon his
guard. Still every thing continued to
proceed smoothly, and the smiles and
civilities of the count continued to be
lavished upon his old enemy, and noth
ing occurred' to awaken suspicion or to
cloud their mutual courtesies.
At length the count appointed a day
for giving a great fete at his castle.
This castle was situated on a rough
and difficult tract of country, protected
by mountainous defiles, yet but a few
miles distant from the head quarters of
the governor. To this castle his Excel
lency was invited to attend the feat,
which was to be adorned with all the
splendor and magnificence of the Russian
noblesse.
He accepted the invitation, but after
he had done so was visited by certain
doubts as to the sincerity ofhis host, not
withstanding the complete oblivion to
which a period of twenty years had ap
parently consigned the resentment of the
count.
He took the precaution therefore to
order a body of dragoons, twenty of whom
should be provided with leather thongs,
to follow him privately, and when the
clock should strike nine to close aronnd
the castle while the officer in command
proceeded to report to him wherever he
might be. To this officer the orders were
strict. No matter when, how, or about
what, the governor might be engaged, the
officer must be in his presence and ready
to receive his commands.
After giving these orders, the gover
nor repaired to the fete. He was re
ceived with great politeness and greeted
with every demonstration of respect
The halls were decked with oriental mag
nificence. Barbarie, pearl, and gold
were literally showered upon the splen
did draperies of the ample halls, and the
dresses of the ladies glittered with jew
elry. Rich music was pouring forth its
6oul inspiring harmony. Plumes were
nodding, bright eyes w ere gleaming, gen
erous wines were sparkling, everything
was in accordance with festivity and joy.
Still the governor observed that of all
the guests, whether ladies or noblemen
not one was present who was not con
nected by blood or by marriage with the
lord of the castle. He gave himself up
to the fascinations of the scene, however
enjoyed the splended arrangements ; suf
fered himself to be led from the grand
saloon to the library ; from the library to
the picture halls; from the pictures to
the cabinet of genius through the variety
of apartments which had been prepared
for the gratification of a refined and lux
urious taste, until, at length, he observed
that of those who had attended him there
were only six who remained, all the near
est blood relations of the count. His
ease of manner continued, and moved
forward with them towards the cabinet
of minerals, when, as he was passing
through a smaller apartiaeut the doors
were suddenly shut and fastened,and him
self seized and bound at once, without the
slightest notice of the intention. His
doubt then became a very unsatisfactory
certainty. The count then proclaimed
h'u hatred, reminded him of their ancient
quarrel, and proceeded, with the assis
tance of his kinsman, to strip his enemy.
and to inflict a severe fiagelation upon Lis
naked back.
Alter gratifying their malignity with
this infliction, the count and his kinsman
directed their guest to return to the danc-
.jng hall and display his disgrace to the
ccrapany by dancing till supper tirae.-
The governor who had not from the first
displayed the slightest symptom of suffer
ing, waled with a firm step, and a man
ner not the least confused to the ball
room, and accosting one of the ladies de
sired the honor of her hand for the dance,
the lady only laughed in his face. He
tried another and another with the same
success. The shrill voice of female de
rision, and sneers; jests and ridicule,
were heard throughout the apartment;
"coward and cowhide," and a variety of
other like epithets were banded about
with great alacrity. Still the composure
of the high bred governor was iniper
turable. He had now asked the Land of
every lady in the room bnt one, whom
he had purposely omitted till the last,
for she was the loveliest of them all, and
had a sweet and compassionate expres
sion of countenance, and did not join in
the general laugh, and looked as if she
could not have the heart to wound the
feelings of a slave. To this lady he now
advanced and begged that she would
lonor him so much as to be his partner
in the merry ring. She consented and
he had iust led her to commence the
SCENE IN PATAGONIA.
Patagonia is a country of which loss
something botween a grunt ami a growl,
but much nearer the latter than the for-'
is known than any other upon the West- mer' and in a crescendo gave
em Continent. Mr. Bourne's late work,
therefore, which contains the narrative of
a considerable stay and extensive travel
in that country, is all the more welcome.
To learn that human nature in Patagonia
has much in common with human nature
elsewhere, it is only necessary to rend
the passage annexed :
" One evening, the chief, his four wives,
two daughters, an infant grand-daughter,
and myself, were scnttered about thelodge,
enveloped in a smoke of unusual strength
and density. While the other sat around
bacon, 1 lay flat, with my face close to
the ground, and my head covered with a
piece of guanaeo-skin, the only position
in which it was possible to gain any re
lief from the stifling fumigation. While
in this attitude, I fancied I heard the
tramp of many feet without, and a con
fused muttering, as if a multitude of In
dians were talking together. Presently
a hoarse voice sounded in front, evidently
aimed at the ears of some one within, to
warning of a fresh eruption. The rumb
ling grew more emphatic, and siuMenly
his fury burst on the head of his wife.
Seizing her by the hair, he hurled her
violently to the ground, and ber.t her with
his clenched lists till I thought he would
break every bone in her body, and reduce
her substance to a jelly. Perhaps X
was a little Imrd-hearted, but she had been
one of my bitterest enemies, and I Lad

nothing his features grew darker he
istened again, and the heavy tramp of a
dragoon's footsteps greeted his ear. Pres
ently in marched the fierce and whisker
ed subaltern, taking his way straight
through the bevy of ladies and gay no
blemen, who shrunk from him in breath
less stillness, he proceeded to his master,
and making his military salute, awaited
his orders.
Then, for the first time, the governor's
manner changed entirely. His shout
rang loud and free, "Let no one leave the
castle, guard every gate. Let twenty
dragoons advance with their weapons to
this room." Then turning to the lady
who had consented to dance with him, he
committed her to the charge of an officer,
to be ledjto her carriage and sent home
writh the greatest respect. For the rest
of the company, ladies and gentlemen,
they were stripped by the dragoons, and
flogged without reserve with the stirrup
leathers. After undergoing this disci
pline, they were compelled to dance till
supper time, for the gratification of the
governor, wrho had before been exhorted
by them to go through the same exercise
for their own particular amusement. Af
ter the dancei was done, the governor de
parted, telling the company that he hoped
they were satisfied with their entertainment
THE COLISEUM.
Is not the following passage in a recent
letter of Rev. Abel Stevens, written from
Rome to the Zion's Herald, beautiful?
"Awed by the grandeur of the build
ing, as I entered it by the arched way, I
could not but recall the more sublime
martyr scenes which its hoary walls had
witnessed the sufferings of men, women,
and even little children for our faith, and
at a time when that faith was not what it
is now here, a heathen ritual, bat the
original truth as taught by its founders.
This recollection became for the moment
the predominant association of the place ;
I observed a rude cross planted in the
centre of the arena; there might have
been the very spot where Ignatius of
Antioch knelt when attacked by the li
ons ; at least hundreds, whose names are
equally recorded on high, fled there. I
did not resist the spontaneous impulse of
my feelings, but hastened to the spot and
bowing down upon it, thanked God for
their blessed memory and testimony, and
prayed that my more secure life might be
worthy of the faith which they so dearly
vindicated. It was a sublime scene for
prayer, and I lingered on my knees, my
face Lid in my Lands, while the history
of those early ages of persecution parsed
like a sublime tragedy before me. I
bowed not before an image; there was
none on the lofty wooden cross; I would
not bow to one even of Chri-t himself; I
bowed only before that invisible "throne
of grace," beneath which tl.ou-ands of
martyrs Lad here bowed unto death,
while the vision, seen by their faith, be
came effulgent with glory above their
agonies."

caught a few word enough to satisfy
me that I was not the subject of their
colloquy, but that there was a lady in the
ease and listened curiously, without any
of the fright which grew out of the pre
vious negotiations. The conversation
grew animated, and the equanimity of
his high mightiness the chief was some
what disturbed. I cast a penetrating
glance into the smoke at the female mem
bers of our household, to discern, if pos
sible, whether any one of them was spe
cially interested. One look was suffi
cient : the chiefs daughter (who, by the
way, was a gitasi widow, with one hope
ful scion springing up by her side.) sat
listening to the conversation with anxiety
and apprehension visible in every fea
ture. Her mother sat near her, her chin
resting upon her hand, with an anxious
anckhoughtful expression of countenance.
The invisible speaker without, it soon ap
peared, was an unsuccessful suitor of the
daughter, and had come with Lis friends
to press Lis claim. He urged Lis suit, if
not with classic, with 4 parimst' r lurjiipnf p.
but with success ill proportioned to hi.-
efforts. The cliief told him he was a poor
good-for-nothing fellow, had no horses.
and was unfit to be his son-in-law, or any
one else's. The outsider was not to be
so easily put off; he pushed his suit with
fresh energy, affirming that his deficiency
of horses was from want of opportunity,
not from lack of will or ability to appro
priate the first that came within his reach.
On the contrary, he claimed to be as in
genious and accomplished a thief as ever
swung a lasso or ran off a hors';, and a
mighty hunter besides, whose wife would
never suffer for want of grease. The in
exorable chief hereat got considerably ex
cited, told him he was a poor devil, and
might be off with himself ; he wouldn't
talk any more about it. The suppliant,
as a last resort, appealed to the fair one
herself, begging her to smile on Lis suit,
and assuring Ler, with marked cmpha-is,
that, if successful in his aspirations, he.
would give her plenty of grease. At this
last argument she was unable to re-ist
longer, but entreated her father to sanc
tion their union. But the hard-hearted
parent not at all mollified by this appeal
from his decision to an inferior tribunal,
broke out in a towering passion, and
poured forth a torrent of abuse.

ANIMALCULE.
The recent astonishing discoveries of
Ehrenberg, a Prussian naturalist, have
given a new aspect to this department of
animated nature, even in a geological
point of view. lie has described seven
hundred and twenty-two living species
which swarm almost everywhere, even
in the fluids of living and healthy ani
mals in countless numbers. Formerly
they were thought to be the most simple
of all animals in their organization : to
be iu fact little more than mere particles
of matter endowed with vitality ; but he
has discovered in them mouths, teeth,
stomachs, muscJcff, uei o, giuutts, yrt
and organs of reproduction. Sonic of
the smallest animalcnhe are not more than
the twenty-four thousandth of an inch iu
diameter, and iiie thickness of the skin
of their stomachs not more than the fif
ty millionth part of an inch. In their
mode of reprod"itioti they are vivapar
ous, oviparous, and gemmiparous. An
individual of the Ilydatina senta increas
ed in ten days to one million ; on the
eleventh day to four millions, and on the
twelfth day to f-ixteen millions. In an
other case Ehrenberg says that one in
dividual is capable of becoming in four
days one hundred and seventy billions !
Leuwenhoeck calculated that one billion
aiiiiuali.'uhv, such as occur in common
water, would not altogether make a uias
so large as a grain of sand. Ehrenberg
estimates that five hundred millions of
them do actually sometimes exist in a sin
gle drop of water. In the Alps there is
sometimes found a snow of red color ; and
it has been recently ascertained by 51.
Sliuttleworth that the coloring matter is
composed chiefly of infusoria, with some
plants of the tribe of Algrc. And what
is most singular is, that when the snow
had been melted for a short time, sou" li
