Come to the mother. when she feels,
For the first time her first born's brea tn
Come when the blessed seals
That close the pestilence are broke,
And crowded cities wall its stroke
Come in consumpton's CHASTITY form.
The earthquakes shock. the ocean storm
Come when the heart beats high and
warm
With banqnet's song and dance and
And thou art terrible: the tear.
The groan. the kneIl. the pail. the bier.
And all We know, or dream. or fear
OF agony. are thine.
But to the hero. when his sword
Has won the battle for the free,
Thy voice sounds like prophets word.
And in its hollow tones are heard
The thanks of millions vet to be.
Come when his task of famc is wrought
Come with her laurel leaf. blood-bought
Come in her browning hour--and then
Thy sunken eyes unearthly light
To him is welcome as the sight
OF sky and stars to rrisoned men:
Thy grasp is welcome rs the hand
Or brother in Il foreign land;
Thy summons welcome as the cry
That told the Indian isles were nigh
To the world seeking GenOese.
When the land wind from woods of

And orange groves. and fields of balm.

Persons with Royal Blood in Russia
Who Are Forced to LOwly Toll.
The romantic story OF Princess
Helene Zulukidse, who is working as
a bricklayer's assistant in Odessa, Is
by no means an uncommon one. A
correspondent who has studied the Gu
rious phases Of life in Eastern and
Central Europe reveals some astonish-
ing facts.
The fact that princess should be
compelled to seek such a livelihood
Is by no means SO startling an occur
renee as might be supposed. In many
parts Of the continent the fathers title
Is inherited by all his children. and
there are several villages In Austria,
Poland and Russia in which all the
peasants are legitimately descended
from some princely ancestor. They
are legally described as princes" in
all official documents, and on leaving
their homes many Of these peasant
princes find themselves sadly ham,
pered by the burden OF a high sound
ing title.
They cannot get rid of the titles,
however. as they are purely personal
ones, and not marketable commodities,
like so many in Italy and Portugal,
and by the police regulations 10 en-
ploye can be engaged without showing
his papers" In which his rank, age
and occupation are stated. Needless
to say, few people are willing to en-
gage a workman Of legally far higher
rank than themselves. and an instance
Of this hardship came to my personal
knowledge recently. The newly mar
ried French wife Of n wealthy Rus.
sian noble was about to engage a Rus
sian maid at st. Petersburg. when, on
seeing 1.-The papers," she discovered
that the girl was a princess and a
member Of a well-known but ruined
family.
The girl had been vainly seeking
employment for months, but the lady
declined to engage her.
On reaching her country seat, how.
ever, the lady discovered, to her
amazement, that the housekeeper was
countess, the henwife a princess,
while the farm bailiff, blacksmith and
coachman were possessed of titles
equally imposing. Az their homes

among whom he soon made many
friends. More than one Of the girls
whom he met attracted him. and he
began to consider the possibility and
even the ACCESSIBILITY Of matrimony, a
thing of which he had never had time
to think during his busy life in Wall
street
His physical health was coming
back to him rapidly. and he began to
reflect that the old Dinwiiddie man

single occupant. Yet. when he would
go into the portrait gallery and look

him impossible that. he could ever fall
in love with living woman while the
memory of the picture chung to him.
In this dilemma he made up his
, mnid that he would either destroy the
picture or present ii to some public
gallery.
With this in mind he took a long
ride to debate with himself, and finally
came to the decision that he would try
to seek out the surviving members Of
the Dinwiddie family and present
them with the whole collection Of their
| family portraits.
Determining on this. he returned to
the house after an absence of several

This had been his own ambition

found some consolation in the fact
that he would have at least million

of Il young girl. slender and beautiful
as a May morning. Her costume was
that Of the eighteenth century, and its
coiOrs were still almost as bright as
when first painted.
She looked out on such portion Of
the world as might be observed from
where the picture hung with gray eyes
that were, Jermyn decided, the most
wonderful eyes that ever were in all
the world.
A few OF the old servants of the
Dinwiddie family still lived on the
place but Jermyn could gain no infor-
nation from them as to the identity

family had lived on the place since the
Civil War, and Jermyn gradually gave
up the hope OF naming the picture.
Instead. he began calling it MY

and making up all sorts Of romances
about 1t. In time he even ventured
on verses.
Now, Jermyn had never been &C.

that this rOmnncing about the portrait
