Strike me dead, the track has vanished, Well, what now? We've lost the way, Demons have bewitched our horses, Led us in the wilds astray."What a number! Whither drift they?What's the mournful dirge they sing?Do they hail a witch's marriageOr a goblin's burying?"Pushkin."And there was one herd of many swine feeding on thismountain; and they besought him that he would suffer them toenter into them. And he suffered them."Then went the devils out of the man and entered into theswine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place intothe lake and were choked."When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, andwent and told it in the city and in the country."Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesusand found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind;and they were afraid."Luke, ch. viii. 32-37.IN UNDERTAKING to describe the recent and strange incidents in our town, till lately wrapped in uneventful obscurity, I find myself forced in absence of literary skill to begin my story rather far back, that is to say, with certain biographical details concerning that talented and highly-esteemed gentleman, Stepan Trofimovitch Verhovensky. I trust that these details may at least serve as an introduction, while my projected story itself will come later. I will say at once that Stepan Trofimovitch had always filled a particular rôle among us, that of the progressive patriot, so to say, and he was passionately fond of playing the part so much so that I really believe he could not have existed without it. Not that I would put him on a level with an actor at a theatre, God forbid, for I really have a respect for him. This may all have been the effect of habit, or rather, more exactly of a generous propensity he had from his earliest years for indulging in an agreeable day-dream in which he figured as a picturesque public character. He fondly loved, for instanc.
