TIKI POLISH NATIONALITY.

or much greater Importance than the issne
of the Polish revolution is the question OF the
Polish nationality. The former may be, and Is
even likely 10 be, failure, if we regard it
from merely military point Of view. But the
commoton which the heroic struggle OF the
Poles has produced throughout Europe is too
intense, and the sympathy with their cause
which has already induced power like Aus
trla to plead in behalf of her Own victim, ana
which has extortcd promises OF reform from
Iussia herself, is too universal and too power
nl not 10 satisfy at once the attentive OBJ
server that, even after the suppression,of the
revolution, the Polish nationality would be pos
sessed of greater strength, and would have bet
ter chances OF a restoration OF It's independ-
encs than At the beginning OF the revolution
And, on the other hand, if, contrary to oil prob
ability. the revolution should be successful II
alone cannot decide the question Of the Polish
nationality. This, in either case, will be found
to be one OF those great European problems,
the solution Of which will require the co-opera-
ton of all Europe.
There can be but one solution. The time
when Europe will be ready for it may arrive
sooner or later, accordingly as the power OF
the princes shall be able TO offer shorter or
longer resistance TO tho increasing ascendency
of progressive and democratic ideas; but as TO
the manner of this solution, it may DO safely
predicted to be already settled. Europe is
rapidly adopting the principles of popular US

claims for every people the tight Of self-gov.

q separate national existence. II s the asser-
ton of this right on the part of the Poles
which has evoked such general outburst
Of enthusiastic sympathy from England, France,
Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Portugal-in
fact from every country of Europe. Whether an
other general European revolution like that Of
1913 will cut tho Gordian knot and realize the
long disappointed hopes of the Polish patriots,
or whether the princes will have to yield t.
the pressure Of public opinion step BY step,
the goal will ultimately be attained without
fail. The greatest obstacle TO the restoration
Of Polish independence lies not in the fact thai

Oh, heavenly muse, thy power l own;
Oh chord my harp in sweetest tone;
Though long unstrung, twould fondly tell
The worth of her my soul loves we'll,
Who, trembling, vowed with me to dwell.
May heaven guard that gentle life,
NY own beloved, wiGow'd wife
While in this land of wealth untold
This mountain land, remote and cold,
strive to gain earth shining gold.
Quick, Ger the waste, so drear and wide,
In dreams I'm with my bonnie bride,
But wake TO know still do roam,
Yet hope with glittering dust to come
To her embrace and BARNS at home.
Old winter now supremely reigns
Der mountains high and wildst plains
The dark pines chanting monotone,
Brings thoughts of hope and pleasure gone,
Telling of her, afar, alone.
Through storms and clouds of driving snow,
This land is traversed to and fro,
BY daring men, in haste to find
The hidden gold, while far behind,
True love may wait, in hope resigned.
Fair spring and summers leafy grove
Will greet the soft step of my love,
While warbling birds and childish play
Wake thoughts of him far, far away.
Ah, will she grieve his long delayP
Oh, deathless memories that roll
In varied cadence through the SOUL
Ye linger fondly here, to bless
That trembling lip, that last caress
OF her who came my life to bless.
Not wealth, nor fame, though time grow old,
Nor poverty. can all unfold
True woman's worth and sacrifice,
That wins stern man from ways of vice,
And guards his path toward paradise.
