Count Leo Tolstoy Dies

Count Leo Tolstoy, the noted Russian writer, has paid the debt of nature, by dying in his eighty-third year. He attracted notoriety by his religious views, and by adopting the garb and fare of humble peasants, noble and wealthy tho he was. His philosophy was a mixture of asceticism, Christianity, and New Thought. In his last days he fled from home to die in obscurity, but on his flight was taken ill at a railway station, where he died. We never could see in his writings either the profound philosophy or pure religious teaching which have been ascribed to him.
