is in, aud with such a frost "eg- JveauHiur
it is my duty to require that your Majesty should
not leave your l-poui.".. Vou . have done your
duty,?, answered the Kmperor; "let me do mnie."
At oue o'clock the Kiupe.ror went to the parade
Louse, without even taking, the precaution of
dressing himself a little warmer, contrary to
the adv ice of the Hereditary . Grniid Duke and
the request of his immediate attendants. .
After the inspection of the soldiers his Ma
jesty went to see the Grand Duchess Helen
1 aulovua, and troni her palace to the Minister
of War, who was then unwell; on returning
he lelt himself worse than on the day before.
The cough," aud the difficulty ofbreathiug, which
had troubled him for some days previously, now
increased. His Majesty passed the night with
out sleep, but the liext day. (the 10th February)
he went again to the same parade house to in
spect the reserve battalions of the Semenoibiky
and Preabrajensky regiments, and the men of
the reserve half-battalion of sappers. From this
day all the symptoms of his malady became
mure severe, and the Emperor did not Ieaye his
room. On the 1 1th he intended to be present
ut Divine service at the church, but was unable,
and was obliged to take to his bed. Ju, the
evfcuiiisr the uisease appeared cvidcutly oppres

vvithstanding his illness, the Emperor did iiot
cease to occupy himself with State affairs, and
only on tiie 12th, in consequence of hi medical
advisers iusistiug upon it, did he consent to
ieav'e business to the Cezarevitch.
, When the danger was considered imminent,
her Majesty the Empress, w'rtii painful heart,
decided to propose to her august husband to
partake of the Sacrament. It most be observ
ed that iu the first week of the fast the Em
peror had begun to attend the usual devotional
services ot Lent; from Mouday- till Thursday,
inclusive, was daily at Divine service, in .the
iudillbreut health, expressed doubts whether lie
would be able to complete this Christian duty;
however, notwithstanding his weakness, he iievr
would sit during the service.
although
he
urged to do so by the officiating miuister.
The Empress, embracing tiiis opportunity,
said to him : "As you have not beeu able to
complete the duty of confession and to partake
of the Sacrament iu the first week, (of Lent)
would you like to do it now? for, although the
state of your health is by no means dangerous,
it might be well, as there have been many in
stances where the partaking of the Holy Sacra
ment has by God's blessing afforded relief to
the sufferers."' "No," said he, "J cannot per
form this holy duty in bed, undressed as I am;
no, I shall do it later on, when I ain strong
enough to do it properly." The Empress was
silent; but perceiviug tears in .her eyes, he said:
"You are cryina?" "No; this is -from tlie cold !
in my head." A few minutes later, the Empress
began quietly to recite the Iord's Prayer.
"Vou are praying? Why so?" "lam praying
for your recovery." . "Am I in danger, then?"
"N.o " Her Majesty had not fortitude
enough to answer afiirmativtly. "Hut you arc
in great anxiety; you are tired; go and rest
yourself.". The Empress then withdrew. ,
About 3 o'clock, a. m., his Majesty said to
Dr. Mandt, "Tell me, candidly, what my
illness is; you know I have always commanded
yowto apprize me in- good -timei -if my illness
should happen to be serious, in order that I
might not omit

mean to say that there is danger of its being
paralyzed?" "If the disease does not yield to
our efforts, this may take place; bnt as yet we
do not see any appearance of it, and do not
lose hopes of your recovery," "Ah! now I
understand my position; I know what I have
to do." After dismissing the, doctor, he called
iu the heir apparent, and quietly communicated
to him his hopeless state, adding, "I hope you
have not yet said anything to your motherland
will not do so just yet; let my confessor be
called in." The Rev, Mr Bojanoff was already
j at the palace. The Empress came into the
' room. While the reverend father was reading
the prayers preparatory to confession, the Km
peror blessed the Empress, and the Cezarevitch,
who knelt by his bed. After that they left the
room. Having performed the duty of confes
sion, he crossed himself, saying: "I pray the
Lord to receive me into His embrace' - Then I
he partook of the Holy Sacrament, (whieh at
his desire was performed in the presence of her
Imperial Majesty and the Cezarevitch,) with
perfect presence of mind, affecting devotion and
extraordinary calmness; repeated the prayer
beginning "I believe and. confess (a somewhat

and blessed them all.
The words pronounced by him in these sacred
and solemn moments will be forever impressed
in the hearts of the bereaved family. The Em
press exclaimed : "My God! Why cannot I
die with thee?" His Majesty replied : Thou
must live for them;" and turning to the heir
apparent, he said: "You know that all my

of Russia; .my desire haf becn ta continue these
