I was in a state of servitude, without hav. ing a single person in the world who cared for me or took the slightest interest in me. In spite of this, however, I managed to pick up fa) the course of a couple of years some knowledge of the violin, of arithmetic, and the Psalter. When I had made this mueh progress, the clerk proposed that I should read the Psalter - in his place at peasant funerals; and was so gracious as to let me keep the ten kopeks usually paid for that service. This help left my morose master more leisure for" carousing with his bosom friend, Jonas Limer. When I got back from my burial services, I usually found these precious companions dead to the world with drink. My pariah-clerk was as brutal to his other pupils as he was to me. and we all hated him beyond measure. His capriciousness and cruelty taught us to deceive him. and to do him injury whenever possible. We. played all sorts of scurvy tricks on him. This was the first despot whom I learned, to "know. He taught me the inextinguishable hatred I have ever since .felt for the tyranny and domination of one man over another. My childish heart was wounded and shocked at every turn by this despotic schooling and hardened itself against the world, the way the hearts of help less men always harden them selves until, at length, patience ends and vengeance and flight en sue. One day when I found him lying in a drunken sleep, I seized his own rod and applied it to him with all my childish strength in ."epnyment for his cruelty to me.
