A FLIGHT FROM RUSSIA. WlutTrnnyson's Futlicr KuewAboat Emperor rant's VxMiiMslnution. Shortly after the assassination of Emperor Paul of Kusshi Tennyson, the Ether of the poet, dined with Lord St. Helens, the British anibnssmlor. in Moscow. Several Russian officers of high rank whose imines he did not know were also gnosis. During dinner a guarded reference was made to the emperor s death. "Why do you speak so gingerly about a matter so notori' mis: cried Tennyson imp.tt'sively, leaning across his neighbor, a Russian M hose breast was covered with orders. “We know very well in England that the l.mperor Paul was murdered, f ottui Zobiilf knocked him down, and Reniiingseu and Count Pahlen strangled hila.” There was a strained silence; then the ambassador abruptly changed the subject. As tho guests tiled out into an adjoining room Lord St. Helens drew Tennyson aside. "Don't go into the next room," be whispered, "but tly for your life. The man next you, across whose breast you leaned, was Count I’ableu, and Zoboff was also nt the table." He gave a few hurried directions, and Tennyson rushed off, threw his clothes Into a yortmanteau and fled behind fast horses to Odessa, still in evening garb. , though the cold was intense. He lay ; bidden for weeks and at last, in the disguise of a servant, was smuggled ou board nti English frigate. A Kind Action. M hen yon rise in the morning form « resolnlion to m ike the day a happy one to a fellow creature, says Sydney Smith. It is easily done—a left off gar- , liient Io the man who needs it, a kind Word to the sorrowful, an encouraging expression to the striving. TDlles in themselves as light ns air will *1 It. at least for the twenty-four hours, and If you are young depend upon it it will tell when you are o'd, and if you are old it will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. By the most simple ftfithmetical sum look at the result yon send one person, only one. happily through the day: that is ."t;.‘ during the course of the year. And suppose you live only forty years after you commem e that kind of medicine you have made It.MMI beings happy, at all events fora time. Now. is not this simple? It is too short for a sermon, too homely for ethics, too easily accomplished for you to say, "I would if I could." Forent* unit Human Vitality, One has but to look back through his tory to sec how closely related is tha forest to human vitality. It was in the forests of Thessaly that the early Greeks received tle ir energy that later tlowered into genius. It was the forest dwellers of Gernmt.y that conquered ile .idem Rome and later gave 10 Spain Iliv vigor that swept back the Moor and brought under her Hag almost the whole known world. But today whnt is Greece, w hat is Italy, what is Spain? They have been stripped of their forests, thu- nurseries of vigor, and their decay has sei in. Everywhere the law holds good It is in the forest that the nmuhood is nourished which builds up Kt-' civilizations. But cities arise, trees are swept away, and the inevitable decline sets in. Forests once d<*stroy,d e.innot return, and over all the si so an ;,>nt civilization are blowing th" desert sands. Arthur Goodby in | New Yot'k Times.
