RURAL PLEASURES.
The country round Palibino was very wild and
much more picturesque than the other parts of
Central Russia. The government of Vitebsk is
noted for its vast pine-woods and its wealth of
beautiful lakes. The spurs of the
Waldai-Heights cover part of the country, which
consequently looks rugged and hilly compared with
the endless plains of which Russia mainly
consists. There are scarcely any rocks, but now
and then a large granite block surprises you
in the midst of a flat tract of country or of a
marsh covered with grass six feet high.
Palibino lay quite close to a wood, which
gradually became denser and denser, and at last
merged into the enormous imperial forest, which
extended for hundreds of miles. In its thickets
you never heard the sound of an axe, except
perhaps at night, when a peasant was bold
enough to steal a little crown-wood.
