Paul "'ergovitz's Long Jonrney.
Poor little Paul Sergovitz !
Paul's mother died when he was a baby. He was born a sickly child. Just v/hen ho was beginning to walk, a sad accidei:t happened to him. His nurse, an old wo¬ man, liad taken him to the parade-ground In Odessa to see a review, when a horse belonging to a Cossack soldier having run away, Paul was struck down, and his thigh was broken.
Paul's father, whose name was Paul too, was a great big southern Russian. The little sufferer was carried around for a year or two by his father in Iiis arms, but as Paul grev/ stronger, his father would perch the hoy on his shoulder, and think no more of Paul's weight thaa had he been a feather.
Maybe it was because Paul'.s father was very poor that the boy's leg did not re¬ ceive that care which some great and ex¬ pensive surgeon might have given it, so the consequence was that as Paul grew, one leg was so much shorter than tho other that he went about with a crutch.
Paul's father was a silent man, hut he never ceased delighting in Paul's chatter. "He talks for both of us," he would say. Paul was very bright and intelligent, and so his father was proud of his litlle crip- pled boy. Eyen when Paul had grown, hia fatlier uever seemed to worry about his boy's condition and the trouble he had iu waliiing. ''My big, strong legs belong to you, Paul,?', the father would say, as he woul 1 lift up the boy when he was tired. On holidays tlie father would tako long walks, with Paul always on his sfioulder, and the two v/ould pass many happy hours together iu the cor.niry.
There must have been something seri¬ ously the matter with Paul, caused bj the runaway horse, because he suffered a great deal from pains iu his back. Sometimes in their excursions to the country Paul j would say; •'! tire you father, and pray lay me oa that grassy hillock for just a little while, until you get your breath again," aud then Paul's father, suspect¬ ing nothicg—for the lioy never com¬ plained—would lay him gently on the ground, making a pillow for him v.dth iiis coat. j
"is'^ow if you are quite, quite rested,"; Paul would say, "I am ready for another j start," for then pjiul's pains had passed | away. j
Paul's father v.'as the clerk of a hirgej flrui in Odessa, dealing in grain. Every j autumn he mado a long i(.>urney into tho I country, buying wheat for his employers, j and tlien little Paul was left alone. This: v/as a period of groat distfe.s3 to the boy, ¦ though he was careful never to  sliow it. {
Thero \^'as a lady, the wife of ons: of; tbo merchants v/ho etaiployed Paul's fa-, ther, and she interested herself about the • boy wh0^-^a<l been  left in chai%c of an old woman- who s weptjout the! room v/licre P4^.and his fatu9r liv.edj. . .   :
When jP'aul, was seven years old his father t^'as sent into the 'c6untry, 200 niil-eis: ¥rom-<D?cU?ssa, to-buy a very largo quantity of v/heat which belonged .to a llussian prijice. jVYuen Paul's father ex¬ amined the wheat,'he refused to. bu)^. it, because it was n-ot^as good as the sample the prince had..sent to,Odessa...
Tlte piriiice'rngirited that it wasallrlght, aiadTaul's father said it Was all wrong, wlre'u the princd used some very iusiilting , words totbe-Gl)8rk, which the clerk _re¬ plied to. , A lawsuit took place, and the jucT^edecitled that PaUTs father was in the rikht- As the clerk was the principal wllfdessvahd told a trouthful story;ithe rasiai^ty.of. the prince was lally lexpo^ed, and how t^he pr^^ce became, his deEfdly enemy.     ,    .. ,.:\     -,   . ;, , :...

When Paur.s father had time he would read tho easy parte of the books to Paul, translatijig them into Russian, for if his little son was suffering, nothing seemed to calm the boy so much as reading to him.
How it happened no one could exactly tell, but once or twice the police eame to the room whero Paul and bis father lived, and looked over all the books. Among the few volumes (there were twenty alto¬ gether) tl>ero chanced to be one book which the government declared no Rus- .sian should read. For having this book, Paul's father was arrested and kept in prison for a month. At the trial it was proved that the leaves of the book had not even been, cut, and Paul's father swore that he was ignorant of its contents. . Paul's father was released, it is true, hut after that his troubles with the Russian police and spies never ended.
One day the head of the firm of grain merchants sent for Paul's father, and said that he was very sorry, but the police authorities had warned him' that they would give the ilvux trouble unless the firm dismissed their clerk ; and so Paul's father lost his place.
There was now nothing for Paul's father to do, for everybody in Odessa was afraid to give him work. He tried to go away and leave Odessa, taking Paul with hira, but the^olice would not permit it. Now came a "trying time for little Paul and bis father, for bread was often wanting.

hilist on account of the harsh trertment he had received. One night v;hen little Paul was asleep with his father he was roughly awakened. He saw some soldiers come into ths room, drag his father out of bed, and carry liim off. The boy clung to his father, twining his arms around his neck, and begged that he might bo taken to prison too.
Ton days afterwards Paul learned that his father had been sentenced to exile in middle Siberia for life', atid wds already on his loug weary march, and so Paul was left ail alone.
The shock was too great for Paul, and he came very near to death. If the boy had relatives, tbey never came to help hira ; but the good lady, the wife of one of the gentlemen in the firm, when Paul could be moved, took him to her own house and had hiin tenderly nursed. With the consent of the authorities the lady was allowed to do this.
It was a year before Paul had any news of his father, and then a few Ihies only came, announcing his arrival at a place called Tomsk.
But one idea seemed uov; to enter Paul's head, and it was tbat he^must go to his fatber. The lady told him how impossi¬ ble it was.
"If he had been strong and hearty like other boys," sho said,'-then, providing
[help him with a ride now aud then. If he got ill with the pains in his back, he would be certain to find some grass-grown bank where thore Avas plenty of shade, and all that he bud to do then would be to think of his dear father, just as in the past-time, and then he was quite certain he could get well again.
Paul waited yet a whole year, arranging his plans. He had saved every klopeck given hira, and had asum which in Ameri¬ can mouey would be worth not quite two dollars.
It was Easter now, and the children all had their holidays, and it was then that Paul had made up his mind to start on his journey.
There was only oue sorrow he felt, and that v;as to leave the lady who had befriended hira. If be told ber that he was going away, she v/onld certainly stop him. So be thought about it along time, and theu hit on this pian. About tbe middle of Easter it was the lady's birth¬ day, and, some time bcfoi^, Paul had told her tbat to celebrate that event he would send her a letter. So he wrote her a let¬ ter and gave it to him to post it to the lady on a certain day, and so that the clcik might not forget it, Paul gave him the money for the postage.
It was just at sunrise wben Paul started on his loug journey.   His sack was half
the authorities would allow it, the long ; full of bread, and in it was a pair of shoes,
journey to Siberia might be undertaken, and even then he v;ould have to have a great deal of money ; but, crippled as he was, it was madness to think of it."
Paul.seemed to be convinced of the ex- ceiieuce of this argument, but still the idea of his joining his fatber was always in hia miud.
Paul was sent to scbool, and tho lady thought tbat in time he would forget his father. The lady had not heart to tell Paul tbat for some cause or other his fatber had beeu sent from Tomsk to a smai! village away up in tbe far north Si¬ beria, not far dictant from that dreary country where Commander De Long and his comrades died of cold and st;U"vation.
Wheu Paul was ten, once on a iioliday Liio lady seut liim on some errand to lier Ira^itand, v.'ho was in his-countTntr^uuse. raul took Li.^. crutch and bdbbied briskly av/ay.
'"See," be said to bimselfT 'Uiow fxist I can ^.0. Surely there is no lame bpy in all Hussia wbo can get over "the grbund more nimbly than I. If it was not for tbat pain hi ray back, which comes on when 1 go', any distance,'I should do pplendidly. .'Let me make believe that from our hbuaeto the -counting.house is tlie march 'fr.oin Odessa to:.Tomsk," and Paul bur'rie''d.    '- " ',. ¦ —
Paul bo're his mp'ssagoto'tTfo gentleman wbog^ave iiim a small piece of money. Paul put it carefully away, saying, "Tbat will pay for one loaf of bread ou the way to father."
Just as lie was leaving tbe counting- house an old clerk met him and put a a small package in his hand. Paul open¬ ed the package, and iu it was an old knife, a brass watch key, and a very much bat¬ tered silver match safe.
"They were your father's," said tbe: clerk. "I found them two years ago in your father's desk, and have been keeping them for you."
Paul's heart was full. He had recog¬ nized all these poor things at once. There was the very knife oue of the blades of which he had broken ; his poor father had often given him the match safe to play with. Paul thanked the clerk, and said, gleefully ; "I will take them to father. The knife, I will have a new blade put in it, the watch key is still good, and the match safe only wants matches in it."
'•Take them to your father ?" inquired the clerk, astonished.
"Wby, yes ; Tomsk is not so very far, even for a lame boy like me. Why, I have been only fifteen minutes coming from the upper end of tbe town to the count¬ ing-house," was Paul's answer.
The old clerk said nothing; he could not bear to tell Paul tbat his tather was now a thousand miles and more further away from Tomsk,
Paul was not a moody boy, though en¬ grossed with the ono thought of seeking his father. As well as his crippled con¬ dition v.'ould permit, he played with all the boys and girls in the neighborhood. He was a student, and stood first in his class. His love-of books was very great. Once he happened to see a picture of St. Christopher, where the boy Christ is car¬ ried across the water by the giant, and the lad took the picture to himself, and prayed to St. Christopher, so that he might be borne once more on his doar father's shoulders, aud tbat courage might come to both of them.
Paul would listen with the most fixed attention to stories of travel, aud having heard that one of the greatest of all travelers was lame, that fact seemed to give him new strength, and he felt quite certain tbat he could reach his father. On the school map Paul had carefully looked up the route. He could shut his eyes and follow place by place tho long way from Odessa to Tomask.' If there were wolves on the way, what of that? He would sharpen his father's knifo and kill them, and then, again, agood solid crutch was by no means a weapon to be de¬ spised.
Paul had a grain bag given him, and in tbat he intended to store his bread. What if the crusts did become stale and hard? he could moisten them iu the running brooks.   Tbe peasants on tbo road would
because one of bis shoes had to be mado in a particular way. He opened the door quietly, and was soon in the street. The sun was just rising, gilding the domes of the churches. He went a little out of his way so as to seo the old house in a room of which he had lived with his father. "Father will want to know," thought Paul, "exactly how the old house look¬ ed."
Paul walked all that day, hobbling mer¬ rily along on his crutch, and he must have gone at the very least fifteen miles. Where be slept is not known, probably in tbe woods.
Paul's absence was at once made known to tbo lady. The clerk, ns in duty bound, mentioned the letter, aud brought it to lady.   This was tbe letter :
"HoNOiiED Lady—After my father, I love you best. I hate to leave you, but 1 must go to see my father, for I know he misses mo very much. People tell me that it is ever so far to where my dear father lives, and thero are steep moun¬ tains and deep rivers bewecn lame poor Paul aud his father; buti expect to climb tbe mountains, but how to cross the rivers troubles me some little, because on ac¬ count of n\y leg I cannot swim ; but may be St. Cbriyti-pbor will carry me over th'; water. God have you in his keeping, and may you have many birthdays i The first thing I will tell my fatber is, how good 5'OU have been to me. Your affection¬ ate little frieiid and servant,    Paul."
Searcli partio.^ v/ere at once sent out to huut up Paul, but tbo boy uever was seen again. After a few days had jiassed, tbo certainty came that Paul was drov.'ned, because a listiermau had found in a river some twenty miles distant from Odessa a i small crutch floating in the river. Tbe crutch having been brought to tho lady, she at onco recognized it as having be¬ longed to Paul.
He had indeed gone to meet his father, for news came somo mouths afterward tliat bis father had died in far-away Si¬ beria the very day that Paul had set out on his long journey.~J3«r23er'5 Young Pconle.
The kind face bent down to kiss him, and he murmured—
"Sbe used to do that. Say, I'd like to see her agin."
"Well, perhaps you will. But there, don't talk auy more."
A short silence followed, but pres¬ ently he inquired—
"Kin sbe come back ?"
"Who?"
"My mother."
"JSTo, she can't do that, but maybe you wiil be able to go to her."
"Wben?"
"Pretty soon,"
He dozed again, and the hands of the great clock dragged themselves wearily on. In his sleep he was again with his mates. Nov/ he was calling "Shino!" now he was counting his money, laughing with his comrades, and eagerly plying his trade, happy in his humble box as lordly princes ou their jeweled thrones. O sleep I truly it is you who lifts us from our cares and sorrows. The hands of tbe clock had barely passed the hour of two when he again awoke.
"Missus."
"Yes, dear."
"Won't yer kiss me again ? It seems as though my mother was close to me when you do that."
Sbe kissed him, and he dropped off to sleep, but not for long. Tbe minute- hand had not reached the half hour when he awoke with a cry and start.
"Say, what makes me feel so queer ? I feel," and the words came with more difficulty, "as-tbough-somethin'—heavy —was—restin'—on—me."
The lights were turned up, and noise¬ less feet liurried to and fro, while willing hands raised the little form from the pillow. Brighter grew the eyes, as they seemed to gaze at something toward which the littlo yearning arms were outstretched. Fainter ;md fainter came the breath, feebler and feebler grew the voibe.

A Casualty.
Themorning papers contained among tbeir casualties, the following paragraph : '•Bun Oi-tr.—Yesterday afternoon an un¬ known bootblack, aged about eight, was run over at tbe corner of Blank street. City Ilo.spital."
Only oue short, sharp cry, followed by the hoarse shout of several men, that was all. Tbey carried him to the sidewalk, and as;^tho crowd gathered round him, somo one coming by stopped and ask¬ ed, "What was it?" "Only another bootblack hurt,' was the careless response, and tbe questioner passed on. The am¬ bulance came. The crowd made way, then separated, and the incident was forgotten. Nobody knew him, nobody cared.
The hospital slept, all but one silent watcher, wbo kept her vigil beside one cot, rising at intervals to Scan the little, palo face tbat lay on tbe pillow. No sound but the breathing of the patients and the monotonous tick-tick of the great clock broke the stillne.^g. Sleep had granted a respite—from suffering and care.       *
Presently there was a movement, and the little, white face turned its eyes toward the watcher, and a feeble voice asked;
"Say, where be IV
"Your are in a good place, child."
It was still again for a moment, and then—
"Say, missus, Where's bm box ?"
"I don't know.   I expect it was lost,"
"Lost? Oh yes, now I know. I waa runnedover, wasn't I ?"
"Yfts.   What is your came?"-
"Tommy."
"Tommy what?"
"Just Tommy."
"But you must have another name."
"No'ra,I ain't.". .    "Well, what is your mother's name?"

The Enib.aimer's Art.
"People say.=) tliat embalming is a lost, art. That isn't so. There are men in Prance and Italy vvho can embalm a body so v/ell tiiat it will keep for hundreds of years. I contend tbat if embalmers are allowed to pursue the same method in vogue with the ancient Egyptians they could accomplish the same results."
"What is to prevent them from doing! so ?"
"Tbe American people would nob tole¬ rate it. The Eijyptians used to strip their dead to a naked state and tlien di.serabow- it. In place of the bowels were put iu 80 much myrrh, spices and drugs. The blood waa taken out of the veins and em¬ balming fluid injected. Then the bodies were wrapped iu muslin. The muslin was iu strips of an inch or two vv ide and was wound around every part of tho body an inch thick. Thousands of yards of strips were used on one body. WeJl, tnat sort of thing would never be tolerated now. If there was no objection to turning over the body of a lady, for instance, to the embalmers, there would be to tho evisceration of it. And it is impossible to preserve a body iu which the bowels are allowed to remain. Tlie luugs aud inter¬ nal organs retain the heat'ior along time. Tbey begin to decompose immediately after death, and their forces rapidly per¬ meate the rest of the body, so that an in¬ jection of any fluid into tiie veins can not result in tbe preservation of a corpse for any length of time."
"Then you have no hope of the success of expermentalists ?"
"I won't say that. It is impossible to prove that the thing can not be done. It may be that in three or live years from now a fluid will have been concocted which will thoroughly arrest all decom¬ position and satisfactorily preserve a body for months. You know that the body of Pope Pins IX was preserved for three months in a perfectly natural state.
"What fluids are used by tho embal¬ mers ?"
"That is a secret, but arsenic and cam¬ phor are two of tbe poisons used."
