How a Russian Soldier Found His Unknown Bride. Toward tho end of 1811, an epoch so memorable in the history of Russia, here dwelt on his domain of Menaro downo, Gabriel Gabriclowich, with his -wife and only daughter Maria, a charm Jng young girl about seventeen years of age. Gabriel Gabrielowich was much loved nd respected; generous to an unusual degree, his house was ever open to all -who chose to accept his lavibh hospital ity. Maria Gabrielowna had. of course, :many suitors, attracted both by her per gonal charms and reputed wealth, but in spite of all importunities 3hc remained obstinately indifferent to all. Her ro .mantic. and im)rcs-ionablc mind, afl'ected by the constant reading of .Tnany French novels, Jed her to imagine -herself desperately and irrevocably in Jove. Unfortunately, the object of her affections, who undoubtedly returned ,Llt love, met with the contemptuous disapprobation of her parents, in whose mind a p::or non-comnihsioned officer nvas no lining match for the heiress of 3Ienarodowno. He was relentlessly for "bidden the house, but in spite of this tho lovers met daily at tho old forest well, and there plighted their troth. "When winter came, these stolon inter views were, perforce, discontinued. At length the separation became intolera ble, even with the solace of a daily in terchange of love-letters, and Vladimir INicolaewich, in one of these, poured iorth iii glowing words all his lovo and misery, and besought his lady love to Jly with him, assuring hor of her pa .Tents' forgiveness for who, indeed, could withstand the humblo prayer tho Jo vera would make for forgiveness, or iail to be touched by such heroic love and constancy? Maria's romantic imagination was fas- cinatcd; she could not resist.and soon all preliminaries for the flight were settled. She would foign headache, and retire early; at ton o clock a sleigh would be waiting at tlic small garden gate, and in this sho would be driven, with her .maid, through tho forest of Jadrino, where Vladimir would await his bride .in the village church. On the eve of her contemplated el opc siicnt, Maria, who was restless and un Jjappy, retired early to hor room and :.9)cnt part of the night inditing a long Ttnd sentimental epistle to her dearest ir.end, and also a shorter one to her iarcnts, in which she entreated their forgiveness for the step she was about to take, impelled by her unalterable love for Vladimir, who, as her hus band, would return to beg their in dnlgencc and blessing. After sealing '.this oifiision with two flaming hearts and an appropriate motto, the rest of the night was spent in all tho terrors of manifold and complicated night mares, so that dawn 'found our heroine up and dressed, pale, and with no need to feign .headache. Ever' anxious in quiry on the part of her affectionate parents cost her a pang, yet she man aged to get through the day without oc":ting their suspicions, and retired immediately after dinner. Tho maid, entering a little after nine to make the tinal preparations, found her young -mistress weeping bitterly. In less thau an hour, though, she mint go; so, quickly drying her tears, Maria soon be came ouco more the love-sick damsel, ilying from stern and cruel parents to -the arms of her own truo knight. All was quiet withm tho sleeping "household, but without tho wind ISiowled, and moaned, and beat madly agaiust the casements -truly, a threat ening night Maria and her maid went .softly down stairs and reached the gar den in safety. It was dark as pitch; the piercing cold wind whistled dis .raally through the trees and blcwfierce .ly in their faces, as if bidding them .torn back. At length through the dark .uess they could discern the sleigh and "Vladimir's trusty sen-ant vainly trying to quiet the restive horses, who, as if aware of the danger of freezing where they stood, impatiently struck the hard frozen ground with their hoofs. -, "Meanwhile let us follow the happy bridegroom. TladhnirNicolaewich had ihad a busy day. what with his persuad ang the priest of Jadrino to perform the marriage ceremony, and searching for -witnesses among the neighboring land owners. The first be foand was an ex officer. Dravine bv name, who accepted the duty with pleasure it reminded him, he said, of his escapades when ia the regiment xrf hussars. He begged Vladimir to dine with him, and under cook to Cad the other two witnesses himself. One of these was Smidt, the -surveyor, and the other young Ispraeo- tick, jusi turnea seventeen, and about kXo ester the Fifth Lancers. These two -not only promised to be witnesses to Vladimir's marriage bnt enthusiastic ally swore thcywouId face death itself :to help hkm. Vladimir thanked them heartily, and left to make the final prep-.-aratioas at his own place. It was already dark; so, after d- " :patchiag his iaUUf ul Kcrcdeka to Men- arodowao with a troika (two-hone -aleigh), ha ordered a one-horse sleigh .for himself and started. It was nine '"-'clock; he coald reach Jadrino fally Jalf an hf before Maria, for he could ertakdydrive therein thirr minutes.

At lcng the sight of a little black speck ahzad aroused his failing courage, and, fcrrrntly thanking God, Vladimir made for we ir.cnuiy hut. Jadrino can not now "be far," thought he; "I will stop here and ask my way." An old man, half asleep, answered the knock. "What do you want?' "How far is it to Jadrino?" "Jadrino? Not far a matter of ten mdes." Poor Vladimir! "Can you let me have a horc? Mwc is half dead." "A horse! Where would I find a horse?" "Well, can one get a guide here about?" H "Wait may be my son can show j-ou the way." After what seemed to Vladimir an interminable delay, the door opened and a small boy came out. ''What time is it? inquired Vladimir. "It will soon be daylight" Tho baffled bridegroom was silent. The cocks were crowing and the day breaking when they reached Jadrino. The church was closed. After reward- j ing his guide an I b'dding him good bye, Vla'iimir knocked with trembnng hand at the priest's house; his troikti was not in tho yard. What did it mean." But we will return to the good Gabriclowich and hee what was going on in his house. The old people aro-e as usual and went down to breakfast; Gabriel Gabriclowich in his flannel cp and gown, and Pascowia I'etrowna read' dressed for tho day. In answer to a niessnire from Gabriclowich. Marie sent word she had had a bad night, but would be down presently. In a few minutes the door opened, and our hero ine entered. "How is the head, daughter?" "Much better, father." "IVrhnps the heat from the furnace was too great j'estorday." "Perhaps, mamma," said Maria. Toward evening, though, Maria w:is not so well, and the village doctor was sent for, but before ho cahie high fever had set in. and the poor girl was delir ions, ror a wnoie wcck sue nung be tween life and death. No otic in the house so much as sus pected Maria's flight; her letters were destroyed, and the maid had been dis creet, fearing her master's displeasure. The priest and witnesses were silent, and the coachman was not much of a talker even when in his cups. For a wonder, the secret was well kept, al though known to half a do.en people. Maria, of course, spoke of nothing else during her delirium, and the good mother, who nursed Iut devotedly, made out that her child was dying of love for Via limir. Therefore, alt rduo consultation with her husband and sev eral neighbors, it was agreed that pov erty is no crime one lives with the man and not with his money etc., etc.; and such moral maxims are always of great help when reason does not justify our course. Thus, when Mar a became convalescent, her parents sent for Vla dimor Nicolaewich, but great was the consternation at Menarodowno when in came a letter, written apparently by a madman, in which the young fellow de clared he would never set foot iii their house, and begged them to forget a poor wretch jvhosc only hope was in death. Soon after they heard he had joined the army. This "was in 1812. They dared not tell Maria, who on her side never mentioned his name. A re lapse of the fever was feared when, a few months Inter, she fell into a dead swoon having accidentally seen his name in the list of tho.se who had dis tinguished themselves and been wound i t ed at Borodino. But misfortunes never come singly; the good Gabriclowich died, leaving all his fortune to Maria. Riches, however, wore powerless to eonole her; she mourned his death sincerely, and vowed never to leave her poor widowed moth er. They both lefi Menarodowno. so fraught with sad associations, and went to live on another estate situated near Gousk. There, also, Maria was soon surrounded and importuned by many admirers, but discouraged them all. in spite of her mother's advice and express deshe; our heroine, for answer, silently shook her head. Vladimir was dead killed at Moscow on the eve of the en trance of the French troops. His mem ory seemed sacred to Maria, who ten derly treasured all the mementoes of hr lost love his sketches, letters, poems, and the books they had read to gether: the neighbors commented won derinly upon such unusual constancy, and awaited with much interest the com ing of the hero who was to triumph over tho me'.ancholy constancy of Jhis new Artemisia. The war ended gloriously for Kussia: her legions returned victorious, and were received everywhere with vocifer ous and joyful :isc'lanation9. Mothers and sisters, with tears of joys in their eyes, pressed to their hearts tho youths who had left them, now grown into manhood, bronzed by exposure, hard ened by fatigue and privation but now returned covered with glory. Perhaps Maria and her mother, livir so far out of the way, were among the very few who tooWno pirt in the general enthu siasm. The monotony of their livoC though, was even there disturbed by the advent of the dashing young Colonel Bourmine, before whom her usual train of adorers had to retreat He took ail hearts by storm with his brilliant hussar uniform, fascinating manners, and the cross of St. George, which glistened on his breast He was about twenty-six years of age. and had come to an adjoining property on leave of absence. Maria soon learned to look, forward to his freoueat visits, and her habitual melancholy disappeared, like snow under the genial rays of an April sun. Indeed Bourmine might well in spire infatuation. His outward appear ance and manner were of the kind to take a woman's fancy. Twwartl Maria he was full of all those tender little at tentions so captivating to a young girL Though so gentle and modest in man ner, ho had the renutatton of binV very reeklea, but this, in Maria's eves, as well as in many another's, was xather an advantage than otherwise.

Whv did he not throw himself at her feet and de clare his passion? Was it the natural shyness of love, or was he seeking to was her affections only to cast tea aside?

One day hhe was alone in the parlor when liourmine entered and inquired for Maria. "You will find her in the garden," said the old lady; "go; I will await you here." Bourmine stepped out. and the good mother prayed as she crossed her-s-elf: "Mav the "good God settle it ail to-day." Maria, just like the herorne in a novel, was seated on a rtistie bench under a willow tree, listlessly turning over the leaves of a book. Her white dress contrasted prettily with the dark rujtic background Bourmine ap proached and tood over her. "Maria, the time has come when I must lay bare my heart before you. I love you I love you passionately." Maria blu.ihed and lowered her eyes; "but I have acted wickedly madly, in allowing myself to reyiain in your sweet presence day after day. It'is now too late to striveagainst fate; the memory of your dear face will be for evermore my joy and my torment. I have still a duty to perform; I must draw aside, the veil" that still conceals the barrier Which separates us forever." "There is afco au insurmountable ob stacle ou my side," said Maria; "do not revile fate. I never could have been your wife." "Yea." sighed 'Bourmine, "1 knof 3'ou have loved; but death lias canceled your vows: you would have leen mine. I know it I feel it in spite of youi former love, if a cruel fate lias not con demned me to miser'. Maria, I am married" "Married!" She of thai! had never thought "Yes," continued Bourmine, "niar rie I three years ago, and stranger still, married without knowing to wiiom. .uor having the vaguest idea where my wife is, nor whether I shall ever see her again." "What!" exclaimed Maria Gabriel ownn, "is it possible? But go on I, too for" pity's sake, go on, I beseech you!" Trembling with suppressed emotion. Bourmine went on: "At the beginning of the year 1812 I wa hurrviug to join my regiment at Vilna. While getting a change of horses a heavy snowfall came on, and I was earnestly advised not to proceed on my journey until it hs'l abated. I would not listen, however, afcd in spite of all protestations started as soon as the horses were hitched; it swemed as if a mysterious and irresistible, force were impelling me forward. We took the short cut to Vilna, and started at a brisk pace. In some unaccountable manner, perhaps owing to the roads be ing almost wholly obliterated under a heavy mantle of snow, we soon found ourselves astray, and my coachman was obliged to confess himself completely at a loss how to continue. We drove on, then, at haphazard, and you can well imagine how welcome was "the sight of lights ahead. Thee lights brought us to a small village, and we saw that the largest proceeded from the open door of a church. As we approached I narnoivnil tlinr. woro t.ril 1nifrtii in tho yard, and two or three pcoplen groujHJd together on the porch, who, as we drove up, cried: " 'Here! bore! good gracious, how late you arc!' ! suspected it was not I they wanted, but drew up nevertheless. "A young man sprang forward: your britlc nas fainted,' he said, 'and the priest is at a loss what to dor "A wicked thought flashed throngh my mind. What an adventure to tell my fellow-officers! Without answering I ran up the steps and entered the church, dimly lighted by one lamp. A young girl reclining on a bench with her head leaning against the wall, while a maid bathed her forehead and temples with a handkerchief steeped in vinegar. " 'Thank God, you have come!' ox claimed tho womau; 'your delay has almost killed my poor mistress!' "The priest thn drew near: 'Sir. there is no time to lose; we may bs sur prised at any moment; make haste!' " But the young lady cau hardly stand,' I objected. " It will bo sufficient if she can say Yes!' he answered. "It was not too late.

"ChcmLtry is capable of wonderful things aid an etjxrrl in chemical itience. "but iu notaing to which i principles avere ever applied have uch marvelous results followed as arc w;t ceS'cd ia its manipulat.on of common ga or coal tar. Thirty years ago the problem of how they were to rid them selves of this foul and then utterly use less refuse of the retort was pu-cding manufacturers of gas, and the aid of chemistry was .nought ia working out the solution. Ttev had no thought be- ilatlou of the of eperimeni with rhemutt discovered the so-called burning naphtha, wbivh. how ever, could be applied w th safely to no practical purpo-e. After th naphtha wa extracted the t-:r was left in the form of a heavy oil. which was -.till more of a nuisauce than the original com(ound, a it wa more difficult to itore and handle. The chemist relliel discovered a channel of ut:l t'v for this oil in applying it a a pickle fr tho preservation of railroad tie, bridge timbers, ami .imilarly exposed woods. This ued up large fjiMuutie of tho refiiM?, but only partially relieved Ue tar utii.-ance. "The only hope that gas men now hail was thathomc discovery "might bo mad in chemical experimenting which would gie a commercial value to the refuse. Faraday net awoke interest in coal tar by hb dL-eovery ot beuine as a a product of the tar oil. It was in ex jHirimenting with the volatile substances of these oda that the great chemist Mans. .eld lost his life by an explosiou in his laboratory, and it wa probably this casualty that dire ted greater at tention to the posaibiiit.es of the de- !! u gas iar. i "it was no: until 1S.7. however, that the jjre.it vaiue of coal tar as a raw material was demonstrated. In that year I'erkiiw discovered its aniline properties, a di.scovery which ha almost revohit0!iiid the trade in dye s'ufls. IVrAin took coal t'tr naphth'. and.

This he experimented with in various ways, and finally by the addition of aee'tic ae d and iron tilings, he produced a colorless fluid whieh is aniline. This liiju d ho treated with different chem ical salts, and the result was jjreen crystals of a metalic luster. Thee he ffjiind were capable of producing, under diilerent ehetii cal reactions, the most brilliant and gorgeous de the aniline hues of the paint and dye. trade) of to il ay. "This discovery made tho long-detested coal tar a desirable product of the gas retorts, but it held still greater surprises. From tho light oil of the tar a vain tble naphtha t-olvcnt for India rubber was obtained, and then the in valuable discovery of carbolic acid was made. How many people in ordinary life know that this great di infectant is oii'i ot the products of common gaa-tnr? Alter these p'operties were extracted from the tar there were lift heavy oils and re.siduum. for which chemistry hm puzzled to find a practical u.sc. It was not until ltW'J that any satisfactory re sult was obtained by experimenting with this refuse, and then the great dis covery of alizarine was made. This product was first obtained by the (Jcr mxn chemists Gnebe ntnl Liebermaun. but Prof. Perkins, who kid developed the andine color.s from tar. was the firnt to give a practical application to the CJerman work. The importance of this discovery may be understood when it is known that in the I rst ten years following the introduction of the artificial alizarine in the ilye stull trade, it exceeduJ the total amount of natural al zarine, or malder root, that had lorn hand! -d in tho trade previous to its introduction. It was. if anything. sujcrior to madder, and so much cheaper that the saving bv its use up to 1880 hail amounted to over $20.0M).KK). Thi discovery of alizarine in coal tar converted 40U.OU) acres of land that had lnvn ued for growing madder root in to fertile fields of corn anil other ce reals. With vcgctible madder it re quired nine weeks to jerfect the dying of a material Turkey n.I. The artificial madder accomplished the desired reult in as many hours. Three years ago tins chemist produced an artificial indigo from the residuum ot gas tar, and. in connection with the ambne dyes and 'ilizariao of the same ha-', it is rapidly taking the place of vegetable indigo, loiter, the naphthalene yellows and red, with whh entirely new effects in color wen; made possible, were derived from coal tar residuum. Hicnmts are still exerimcnting with the tar prod ucts, and other iaiportant developments will no doubt be made." A. V. Sun. WAVES OF AIR.
