It was near eight o'clock that sameeven ir.f and our young friend, standing be neath the light of a street lamp, was turn ing over in hi3 mind whether he had best spend a portion of hs earnings in a theatre ticket, or save it "for the morrow, when some one lightly touched him on the shoulder. Turning suddealy, he beheld the ebony visage of a Tb SKasslan Imperial Palace. The Winter Palace, shere the imperial family are "at home" when in St. Peters burgh, is a vast pile of buildiruzs, fonr.mir a great quadrilateral. - Immediately across a wide street is the Admiralty Palace, a bare, white bulldmg.with a pointed steeple. It might pass, but for its immense size, for a New England meeting-house that had strayed away to the banks of the Neva.

"John Thuuias," said a beautiful young lady, as she threw up the sash of the win dow at which she was standing, 'tell that dirty boy to get off the stoop at once." John 1 hoiuas the livened footman, who was arranging the mats m an eiegani coupe before the door, at once moved toward the loy in obedience to hi? lovely mistress command. But the boy, evidently a boot-black, spared him the trouble by rising at once and walking slowly away. He was a poor, emaciated, forlorn- looking fellow, with his clothes hanging about him in tatters, and his bare toes peeping through the wide cracks in his ill- mated shoes, but he bad as much pride in his humble way as the .lair lady at the plate glass window had in hers and there was an unmistakable look of wounded dignity on his begrimed face as he turned it for an . instant in the direction of the speaker. j 'I'll not soil their stoop ; with my rags airain," he thought, as the clear, cutting tones ceased, and the window slid softly down to the sill. But having readied the next pavement beyond, he paused and auain turned his e es to the' ludy's face. She was extremely beautiful, reminding him of one of the bright prints he had been wont to admire at a down-town book sellers, and for some moments he feasted his eves on the charming picture before him. "A cat may look at a king,"' was his in wartl comment, ana irammr against a neighboring lamp-post, he watched until she descended the broad stoop, entered the carriage and was driven away. Then with a sigh and shiver, for it was a cold, windy morning, he slowly shullied away. It was some years ago, before boys' lodging houses or other hospitable retreats were thought of,! and like many another boot black and news-boy of the perith; when without means, he was compelled to hud food and shelter as best he could On this mormng.he had arisen with acbV lug nones irom me interior oi au empty hogshead, where he had managed to pass the night, and after taking a long look at the rolls and coffee he could not buy, had wandered, he scarcely knew how or. why, into the present aristocratic locality. Hungry, tired and cold, he scarcely had the spirit to look aU)ut tor another ib: but midway down the block he espied two entlemcn engaged in conversation, and with an effort he quickened his steps to ward them. "Have a shine, sir f ' he asked, glancing up at the eider oi the two, a stout old gentleman faultlessly dressed and carry ing a gold-headed cane. But a cool "Clear out !" accompanied with a wave of the goid-crustcd stick was the only reply. "Those young rascals ought to be sup pressed by the police as a nuisance,' he whom he had a slight acquaintance. "How are yer, Sambo?" he asked pat ronizingly. "Oh, berry 'well, tank'ee, but Fze in a power! nl hurry, and I cum over dis way to hnnt srtnie pusson to do me a favor." "All right, shady. Then I'm the one yer alter. How mnch yer goin ter cuv ?"

At another time he would have returned the old gentleman's opinion with a sarcasm as cutting as his own, but now he was quite too discouraged and miserable to re ply, am., sitting down this time on the curbstnne, gave himself up to his own dis mal thoughts. . ' "Mitzht have know'd better'n ter come over here among the swells anyway," was his inward comment, but it went nj further, for he was now accosted by a big countryman, who in his home-spun ng looked fully us out ct" place on the avenue us the yung boot -black himself.

' "Whew!"' exclaimed the boy, as he staited oil with the letter in his pocket, and the directions in his head. ,4Tlie verv I house they druv me from this mornin'. Wonder if the nigger 'ill order me off the stoop. . " As the youmr "colored tremman" had said, it was "only a piece uptown"' the house being on Fifth avenue, just above Sixteenth street. But as the boy neared the corner of the street, a piercing cry of "Fire! Fire! ' reached his ear; hurrying on to see from whence it came, to his amazement, it proved to be the very house to which he was bent on his errand as letter carrier. The tire alarm had been sounded, and a crowd was rapidly gathering before the door, and in among them the bot-.llack was soon standing. lu some way the fire had gained a head way be fore its existence had been discov ered, and the flames were darting up ward through the wide halls and into the second story. The staircase wras wrapped in a wreathing cloud of smoke, and little flame of crimson liglit appeared in its midst, and on the pavement just be3ond, Blood a gray-haired man with clasped hands and a face stricken with terror. Our young friend recognized him at oace. It was the same old gentleman who had told him so gruffly to "be off" that morning, and in an instant he took it a'l in. That he was the.fathtr of the beautiful youg lady he had seen at the window, and that some one was perishing in the flames. "My child, my pet!" he was saying, piteously, to himself, then turning excited ly to the gathering crowd, he exclaimed in tones that sounded above the dim of the approaching engines, and the hum of the murmuring throng about him: "A hundred dollars to the one who will save nm grandchild ! Who will save my grandchild ?" "I will!" responded a shrill voice at his side; no other than that of the poor boot black ot the morning. "You are only a child," he began-- But the boy, pointing to the twirling flames above him, interrupted hastily. "Tell me where the child is, and for God's sake be quick.'" "In the second story back, in a little crib." "Some of you fellers boost me onte that ledge above the parlor winder!" said the boy to the gaping bystanders, "and I'll have it down in a twinkling. '' Quickly they did his bidding, and in les time than it takes to relate it, he had clambered to the front chamber window, and effecting an entrance, disappeared amid the chokirjg smoke that was fast filling the room- He soon found the crib, and taking the little sleeper in his arms, wrapped it up head and toot in a blanket he tore from the rosewood bedstead at its side. Then pulling off one of the sheets he endeavored to tear it into shred, but in vain; it was made of the strongest and fisest linen. Tlis knife, however, Was in his pocket, and hastily whipping it out, he cut it into a number of strips. Then tying them together by way of a rope, he fastened it about the middle of the child. "Here it is': he shouted, aud at on:e proceeded to lower the child iuto its grand father's outstretched arms. A great cheer sounded up from the mul titude below, and the firemen, seeing the precarious position, ran for a ladder. But every instant the danger increased, and he could now. feel the seething fire almost catchiug him in its merciless embrace. "I must jump!'" he shouted and a hun dred hands ieached out to catch him as he gave the leap. But with all the eagerness of those be neath him, they missed their reckoning and he fell heavily to the ground. Tender hands raised him, but there was no recognition in the still white face. A deep gash across the forehead pointed to the most serious wound he had received, and, without once openiag his eyes or giv ing the least sign of consciousness, he was borne to neighboring hospital. It was many days before he recovered his sense weeks before he could walk. But whec this stage had been reached he was the recipient of ga d tidings. The hundred dollars, which set me 1 a fortune in his inexperienced eyes. was certainly his; but better than this was the news that the parents bi the chui he had saved in tended to take hi? future in their charge. Since, he lias Ixvomea man of high po sition and unquestionable ability, and, whenever he is asked how he came by the scar on his forehead, his answer invariably is; "I received it wUx 1 was a boot -black and 1 call it my revenge." of SuvarofL But perhaps as strikmer a statue as any in the world is one near the St. Isaac's Cathedral of' Peter the Great. He is on horseback, the horse rearing high on its hind legs, and only the hind eet and the tip of 'ihe tail touch thj? pedestal of rough rock. The statue is more than life size, and its wonderful poise is given by the tail, which weighs 10,000 pounds. Probably the portions ot the Winter Palace most interesting to those who are allowed the privilege of visiting it all, are the rooms of Peter the Great ad the jewel room. In the former, everything that the Russians have been able to gather of their greatest ruler has been preserved. There are his working tools, his old clothes, frag meuts of his work in Holland and at home, and the furniture he had in his Dutch cab in. There are lLtki hints and ideas given by the fragments of the manpersonality that give one clearer views afx nis indomi table will and resolute courage than can be gained from any books. The jewel room is a rare sight nothing else in Europe equals it. Ihe jewels in the Tower in London are so arranged as to give the most unsatisfactory kind of opportunities for ex amination, even to those who are admitted to a "private view" and as for the multi tude who stuuitie over each other's heels in a vain attempt to keep up with the high-aud-mighty beef -eater who acts as guide on public days Heaven help them; they can learn no more shout the Tower jewels than about a list year s bird s nest.

In as avenue residence on the South Side two yoilng ladies happened to be left alone with only the female help. Brother George had been away for tome time, but was expected back daily, when pa was called suddenly to New York on busines. so the tony mansion was left without guar dians save the two young ladies aJoresajd, two female helps, and the nondescript ca nine. Everything waa lovely; their little, reception had passed off in the plea&antest manner possible; and the pretty way in which the young host as had played her part had considerably thawed out hep rather dilatory lover, notwithstanding the icro weather abroad. The plafe wa all care fully put away in pa's drevung-room, ia. the strong box, snd the fair ones wore about retiring to their own snug nests when the viv.ior espied a revolver on the dreaaing table. La!" she cried, "suppose burvlars come to-night and find that pistol! they'll kill us with it!" "Oh my, ve!" "WLat shall we do?" They excitedly consulted, at last it waj determined that they should both sleep to gether tor mutual defense and put the pas tol under the bed. 1 his was done. They disrobed and retired; quiet crept over the mausion, where all seemed asleep: Sud denly a white:-robed figure arose out of txd, looked at her sleeping companion, reached under the bed, and, carrying the pistol ia one hand and the lamp in the other, de scendedito the parlor, aud, placing the pis tol carefully down iu front of the stove, re turned to bed with a sigh of relief. Along among the wee small hours George who had returned from Xtw York, and had been around town with the boys, came home. He went into the dining-room, lit the gas, heljK'd himself to aglaiw of whisky irom the sideboard, and stepped luto the parlor to warm himself by the stove. I lis foot touched, something, which, with an imprecation, he vigorously kicked. Jiaurf! He sprang ten feet away. A succession of wild shrieks pealed from the floor uboye. George rushed up-slairs, three steps at a time, and on the landing ran against some- the sceptre, having the great Russian dia mond iu its head, a gem weighing VJi karats. Around the room are precious stones in such abundance and of such size, that one ceases to regard a diamond of less than oO or 40 karats as worth looking at. The collection of pearls, too, is said to be the finest in the world, and as one looks at rows upon rows of them, varying from the sfte of peas to the size of plums, it seems hard to realize that they are the costly things theyr are. The Emperor's private railroad train is one of the other marvels of the capital; not that it can always be seen there, but that is where it belongs. It consists of 17 separate coaches, made in general appearanee like the ordinary Continental coach. As a rule the train makes up with eight or nine of them, containing the personal coaches, dining room, kitchen, etc., of the imperial family, i'ive ot these are so opened at the ends and joined with flexible joints as to make one continuous coach, and this por tion contains the sleeping apartments, dress mgrooms, dining-rooms, etc, while the remainder is devoted to the memlKjrs of the suite, the servants, light baggage aud the kitchen. The heavy baggage is sent for ward in other coaches, but as they are all decorated alike on the outside, the con spirators who exploded the mine near Mos cow bad no means of knowing that they were Duly blowing up the Czar's coats and trousers instetd of his sacred person. The coaches are of a dark green color outside, ornamented with Only a moderate amount of gold except at eachv corner, where the double-he - I' d eagle of the Russian arms is conspicuou . displayed. The saloons of the continuous coach are upholstered in va rious elegant materials, each apartment be ing in a distinct styieas in a nouse. me coaches were formerly the property of the Empress Eugenie, ofl-ranee, but when she went out of the imperial business they were bought at auction lor the Czar. what do you think of that fcr nerve ?

In this capacity it simply acts as a medium, affect ing the temperature of the part to which it is applied, or which is immersed in it. Right views of the fact in reference to thij matter are important, because there can be no question that some persons overrate the uses of cold water, and run considerable risks in the pursuit of them. Every bene ficial action that can be exerted by a bath is secured by simply dipping in the sea, or a very moderate affusion of cold water, except in cases of high fever, when it is desired to reduce the heat of the body by prolonged contact with cold, a bath of any considerable duration Is likely to be injuri ous. Then, again, it is necessary to re cognize the risk of suddenly driving the blood from the surface in upon the organs. The "plunge,' the "J p' or "shower," or "douche," is intended to produce a mo mentary depression of the temperature of the surface, in the hope of occasioning a reaction which shall bring the blood back to the surface with increased vigor, and almofl instantly. If this return los not Lake place, or if, in a word, retineat of the skin is not a very rapid consequence of the immersion, it Is impsible that the bath can have been useful, and in nine cases ut of ten whjn the surface ia left cold or white it doe harm.
