This Is a song of serfs that I have made; A song of sympathy In grief and joy. The old and young, the proud unci the be trayed, All, all must serve, for all must be obeyed. There aro no tyrants but the serving ones. There are no servants but the ruling men; The Captain conquers with his army's guns. Rut lie himself Is conquered by ids sons. What is n parent but a daughter's slave, A son's retainer when Hie lad Is ill? The great Creator loves the good and brave, And makes a flower the spokesman of a grave. The son Is servant In ills father's halls; The daughter is her mother's tnaid-of-work. The wren must answer when the robin calls; And earth must take tho raindrop when it falls. There aro no "ups" In life; thcro are no "downs;" For "high" and "low" are words of like de gree; Ho who is light of heart when Fortune f row ns, He Is a king, though nameless In the towns. None Is so lofty as the sage who prays, None so till-high as lie who will not kneel The breeze is servant to tho summer days, And lie is bowed to most who most obeys. These arc the maxims that I take to heart; Do thou nceept thclii, reader, for thine own, Love. well thy work; be truthful In the mart, Alidrfoes wlllpralsc thee "when thy friends depatt. None shall upbraid thee, then, for thine es tatc. Or show thee meaner than thou art In truth. Make friends with death; and Cod, who Is so great. He will assist thee to a nobler fate. None are unfit to servo; none on their knees Unfit to pray, when sound tho bells of doom. The (loners are servants to tho pilgrim bees, And wintry w Inds are tyrants of the trees. All things obey; all tilings Incur a debt: And all must pay the s une, or soon or late, The sun will rise hotlines, but lie must set And man mut seel: the laws he would for get. Thero are no truants In the universe, No false accounts, no treachery, no eon- tempt. The work we do, tho good things c hearse. Are boons of nature basely named a curse, "Olve us our dally bread I" tho children pray, And mothers plead for them, while thus . they speak. Rut "Olve us work, O. Oodl" we men should say, That we may gain our bread from day to day. Tis not alone the crown that makes tin King; Tis set vice done, 'tis duty to his kind. The lark that soars so high Is quirk to sing. Rut promt to yield subservience to Hi spring. And wo who serve ourselves, whate'er be. fall Ourselves and those wo need, .ami thoso we love Dare wo forget, at Joy or sorrow's call, The service due to Cod. "who serves us all Might Have Been. BY M. EILEKN 1IOLA1IAN. "Beautiful!" cries Dora Danzil, rap turously, turning from the reflection of her own sweet, saucy face In the mirror, to tho exquisite vision fragile as an anemone framed in her dressing room door. "How did you do it, Naomi by magic? You are the very lovllest, most exquisite tiling in the wotld. I have hardly begun to dress yet." Miss Qulyerlelgh's laugh comes lightly low as tho saddest sob of a summer's breeze sweet as the tenderost note of a priceless flute; but on her Hps rests a smilo In which there Is more scorn, more contempt, than pleasure, as she draws tho train of dead white silk and priceless lace across her beautiful arm. saying: "Oh, I havo been ready for ages, I think. Perhaps It Is barely possible" and the smile dies away Into a pathe tic curvo of the lovely Hps "my eagei ncss to subdue your 'lordly knight,' and subjugate the handsome brother who, all unknowingly, disapproves of me has made me overestimate the time of waiting!" A swift scarlet flush, comes to birth on Dora's pure brow, and dies away beneath tho dainty lace on her bosom. "Tom Is not unjust," sho says stoutly, turning again to her dressing table. "Not knowing, how could ho disapprove of you, Naotui? I do not believe it; it Is but a rumor you heard." Naninl ehritgs her beautiful white shoulders with a little laugh. "Society people always kuow each other, my little saint." she says, "or hear of them. Your rother, I believe" carelessly "Is a society man, Is lio For xnv sir r not? I liavc beard n great deal of lilra, : In Ob, I ajsuro jou" as Dora 1 tunis quickly with startled eyes "ru' I morhaslt only that he Is the perfect man tlio noblest work of God." "He Is, ' exclaims Dora, emphatical ly. Her brother Is her Idol. "He Is tho handsomest man I ever saw anil tlio dearest and wisest and bestl Gracious" as the liny, jeweled clock on tho mantlo chimes for the hour In a burst of music "eight o'clock, and" "Estclla, Kstella, do hurry me up, else the guests will arilvc before 1 am ready. Come In Naomi, and sit down, if anything so heavenly can sit down I" "I could," laughs Miss Qulvcrleljih, softly, "very forcibly, Indeed; but I will not. I am 'moon-struck,' and must go out Into the garden. When you are dressed, Dora, call mcfiom the balcony. snail hear, If the Rowers are not woo ing me." With which sho turns and tuns light ly down tho broad, shallow stairs, trill ing back a laugh, and a snatch of popu lar opera to Dora's. ' - "Do not get your slippers damp. Naomi: the dew is falling. In just one half hour I shall be ready." "Half an hour I" thinks Jllss Qulvcr- lelgh, scornfully. "Who or what is worth so much care and timel What fools all wo women aro, and how long a time it Is before wi discover the fact of which I am brilliant Illustration I Hah!'' Drawing her long white skirts around her just sufficiently to display a beauti ful slim ankle, she steps out across the balcony Into the white, wind-tossed beauty of the June night. I will keep in the grarel paths," she whispered, bcndlngabovca bed ofTvhite lilies, and severing the loveliest from Its parent-stem. "The crass Is damp and chill. Hut somehow I do feel over re bellious to-night just like doing some thing which sliull make the world raise its hands in holy horror just like breaking the chains of mode, fashion and costume to scream just once I am free I" Down the graveled' paths she glides between the beds of sleeping, dewy flowers, like some fair, fi nil shadow-of the white moonlight flooding tho earth with Its glory. "It Is glorious!'' sho whispers to the faint night w Ind that riots around her. "But what can it bring to me to any of us? The moon goes down in dark ncss, and the flowers die in tears! All, tlio people are already arriving, so I mqst desert the path, or else return tq the house. The Jatter I cannot do at least, not-yet! Ah, I'must view the lake with this moon on its breast I" "On Its breast" It Is lying, certainly, just as a vague, heavy, pain is lylne on her heart the remembrance of a hope long since blighted, the memory of a priceless, tender passage which neither wealth, position, nor adulation has ever been able to renew. "It is dead, of course. It is almost four years since all her tender loye and wild misery were burned out together in unavailing tears. Since then how can they blame her that sho has no heart that she must laugh with and at all alike, as the case may be. The only wonder would bo that she had not become tmblttered. The lake, with Its mossy shore decor ated with gleaming white statues and vaccs, lies sleeping in the moonlight from nboe. Through the branches of wntcr-wil lows and beeches the wind sighs faintly, while from the house comes the distant sound of a sweet, clear voice, slngln "All! that thou and I were sleeping 'Neath the churchyard's quiet sod;- Our hearts at rest on earth's tender breast And our souls at home w Itli Cod." Naomi stands her beautiful bare arm thrown carelessly above a white stone vase, to which site appears an exquisiti carving part of Itself; her beautiful eyes are resting on the water with a look of sad, pathetic pain, of which the world would never dream; but as the last faint note of the song dies away across th lake, she falls on her knees with a cry of Irrepressible pain, passion and despair the pent-up misery of years. "Naomi!" whlsperes a man's voice low and eagerly. "Oh, my darling, my darling, why will you suffer so, when word, a llltle Independence would set us free make us happy again!' He attempts to draw her In his arms, but slid eludes him with a look In her face that holds him silent. "Happy?" she whispers hoarsley "Between you and me, Arthur Hamlin even A'cre you free, there is no such word. You murdered It four years ago and in the future please remember it. Please remember also that you are married man, and though you may be. undoubtedly are I am not devoid of honor. Where Is your wife?" "Hush!" he whispered hoarsley, "do not remind me of that Naomi the mad folly that wrecked niylifeand yours, Why did you let me do It? Why dli not vou, who might have done so, sav me from myself! Sometime I shall end It all with this, and then" A quick movement of his arm, and low, mirthless laugh breaks from his Hps as sho falls back in horror from ll sight of a jeweled revolver flashing In the moonlight. "Put It away!" she pants hoarsely stepping forward to touch his arm while her gteat, dark eu'S seek his. "You never will, cousin Arthur! Giv it to me. Remember your life and mine are tho work of your own hands. If you have spoiled them, thcro Is sttt! chance beyond this life. Blame no one but yourself no one else Is to blame, In selfishness you chose the woaltl which was not then mine. It has turned to Dead Sea fruit "Heavens!" ho whispers, snalohtng her slim hands In his iiercely, "is not my loss sullieient without this? Naomi lam Koiiij; away. TUit was why I came licrc to-nlglit. Forgive mo tlio base Intention; but I meant that ou should My with me. That Is all over now. I am a better. If hopeless, man I shall never return, dear. Will you Idas me once cousinly, If you will that 1 may carry It with me to the gtavc?" In silence she lifts her beautiful head, and touches her Hps to his, and pctliaps tho peace and benediction of her kiss ere registered In heaven. Then she turns toward the house, telling herself that now, at least, life Is dead. "Where havo you been, Naomi?" cries Dora, meeting her on the ljalcony, and starting hack In affright as she lifts her lovely dark eyes, heavy with unshed tears. "What Is tho matter, dear? I sent Tern to look for you, aud he says ho could not And you." A swift rush of color dyes Naomi's pale checks. Of course lie saw her If he was nil over the garden, and him. Her heart gives a wild throb of pain, hardly so much for the misery of the man she left behind her, as for the shame of standing before tills strong man, and knowing that In his heart she is condemned. "You are rash," he says In a low. cold tone, ns she leaves them at the foot of the stairs. "The night air Is danger ous, especially nt the lake. It 'Is quite wrong to woo death 1" "So many things we do that are rash and wrong," she says weaiiy, turning away, "that one more or less cannot matter. I wonder If wo ever do any thing right or well?" But it is liardlv a look of scorn with which his eyes follow tho beautiful form until the corridor takes It from view; and although he avoids her, apparently. cry frequently during the brilliant ball his eyes meet hers, and hold them In some vague, strange way that thrills and lartlcs Naomi. "You were unjust," says Naomi In n low voice; "you never gave ine any chance; you condemned me before you saw me," "But 'never since, replies Tom Den- zll. In a volco quite as low, for the shore is crowded with gay, laughing guests. .'Never since the night I came to seek yon hern, Naomi, and found you." Don't I" she whispers, beseechingly extending one tiny hand, which lie catches and for a moment holds, "Be merciful I am going away to-day, you know." "Are you?" he asks suddenly. "You did not tell me. Whv?" "Why should you care?" she asks, with avertd eyes. "It can make no IllTerence " "But It docs," he answers, so sternly that her eyes are raised to meet his. You belong to me by right of discovery that night. No, loye bearing, how could I condemn you? 1 will never sur render you, unless Naomi, do you love me? Answer me!" And the strangest part of it Is that he takes It for an answer that shy lift of her lovely eyes. Late Recompense. BY M, EILKKN IIOLA1IAN. A low, dark, tumble-down cottage on the very edge of the deep, pathless for est; not much of a view, certainly, to meet the eye of a fastidious gentleman belonging to the most exclusive aris tocracy of the land, and fondled with all its luxuries; yet it is with a sigh of relief and a look of yearning toward the haven of rest, that Mark Wolcotl lets the bridle fall slack on the neck of his jaded horse, ond dismounts'at the turn ble-down gate. A long day and a hard day wo ve had roughing It, my beauty," he says tenderly, while fastening the hltchin; rein to the remnant of what onco was a rough picket fence. "About time that you ami I had n little rest and refresh ment. Trumpet. I may not receive very cordial reception, but tliey can hardly turn us out without night's rest, unless they possess more physlclal pow er than I do; so hero goes." With a low, pleasant laugh at his own expense, he strides olT In the direction of the cottage, Tho only sign of life visible Is a faint blue curl of smoke from the chimney yet even that gives him hope of chee and warmth, for tho forest air Is chill and damp. Itcsoh lug willilu himself that to put htm out ouo must be more than ordi narily powctful, he walks up the bat tered porch quite as nonchalantly and gracefully as If on the fashionable pave ments of his native city, and makes the door tremble with the force of his knock So faint comes the reply that he fails to understand whether it is a dismissal or summons; but certainly lie takes it as tlio latter, being Hie most welcome. It does not take any length of time for Uie hungry men to open the door and cross the threshold. But ho forgets hunger, weariness all things but the shock to feelings, In the sight which meets his gaze. A woman, who must once have been very beautiful, is lying on a meager bed and her eyes burn In to his with the wildest, most appalling intensity. It docs not take a keen glance to tell that the joys and ills, the weals and woes that mark life, aro for her nearly over; and from her fascinated gaze Maik's eyes turn pityingly to the child Ish form kneeling beside her with her hands clasped around her neck. "Mark Woleott," gasps the dying wo man hoasely, springing up on her elbow, "Heaven! what fate, what mockery lias brought you here, at my dying hour, to witness the last tragedy? Kvcn your reproaches can make It no wors the life which is so near Its cud. But my child my darling! Ob, heaven! that 1 could take her with inel" MarkJA'olcott staggers forward with a low cry) aud gives one piercing look !tlo 'he woimvi's fae. "You I.ttcllo He.vcrel" lie cries hoarsely. "My God I have I gone mad, or Is It Indeed so? What ghastly trick of fato is this?" She smiles grimly, and tho child looks up at him, then shrinks away with big. frightened eyes. 'You call It rightly," the woman answers, drawing the child closer. A ghastly trick of fate, nnd before tho sun rises to-morrow, I shall be past it all. Ten years ago, yqtt would not forgive, Murk Woleott, neither you nor my fath er, because 1 married the man who blighted my life made me the thing 1 am, In loneliness and obscurity. "Listen, Mark. Come closer, It Is getting dark. From the high station where 1 met Italph lleycrc, lie fell Oh I I cannot name the depths of degradation, yet It was no fault of mine. It was In Ids nature, I think. At last he brought us here Lucilo and I among the rough miners. where Well, there were none so depraved ns he. He Is dead now let It rest and I sooli shall be; but what Is to become of my child, my darling? Will you forgive Ihe past, Mark? Will you take care of my baby, my darling? Sho Is so young to battle Willi the cold, hard world only nine. I was not worthy the love vou avo me, Mark. Teach her to for get" But what she wished her child to for get, Mark Woleott never knows, for the words die on her blue Hps, and the love of his youth the woman who had made. htm look on nil other women since as light, fickle, and heartless falls back ;alnst the shabby pillows. Tho coidlal ho draws from nn Inside pocket Is useless here, and he lays It nslde with a sigh of vague, sad pain, thinking of her blighted life, his broken dreams and hopes; and the child sobs quietly In one corner of the room, fright ened at the presence of this tall, dark stranger. Poor child poor little one I" he says at last, Inking her- In his strong arms, Mid pillowing her little, yellow head on ills breast. "You have no mother now. You will be my Kfle girl, as you might have been, had fate been less cruel." A few days later, his mining business complete, Mark H'oleott returns to New Fork, bringing with him. a shy little girl; witlt great, dark eyes of deep thought, at whom the ladles who pass them In the drive glance curiously and jealously. Luclle Is placed In a fashionable boarding school at Mark Wolcott's ex pense. Orders aro given that every advantage money cau secure Is to be hcrs;thcn her self-constituted guardian completely for gets her In tlio round of fashionable pleasures which constantly crave his presence. Sometimes the memory of that scene In the cabin on the edge, of the forest comes to him In the midst of gayety; but lie puts it from him with shudder ing aversion, telling himself that to the child he lias done his duty. So the years pass; and although he has forgotten her, Luclle has never for- otten him. It Is ten years since she. left the min ing district, and those ten years have made of the little frightened child a girl of nineteen, tall, slim, graceful and beautiful as a poet's dream; but still In her great, dark eyes rests that look of deep thought, more pathetic than tears, the thought that makes the dreamer the artist she is. One day Mark Woleott receives a lit. tie sketch, beautifully executed In water colors, in which he bends an eager, anxious look. It Is marked "Luclle," and represents a low, dark house nestled against the picturesque forest he remembers so well to have seen In tho mining excursion, "I must see her," he exclaims at last. "It Is It must be nearly ten years since I have seen the child. Perhaps sho is lonely, as I am, for when all's told, wealth does not bring happiness. Sho Is my ward why should not the child live with me here? Yes why not?" And the "child" does return with bin to the great, grand house which before had seemed so lonely. Like one under a spell, Mark watches her, and vaguely wonders at tho fair, fragllo beauty over which nil New York raves, even as they adore the famous young artist. Ho becomes restless and cynical, an ry that the crow's-teet have made such lines beneath his eyes and the white hair sprinkled his temples so profusely sneering and scoillng nt ills weakness. To him Luclle Is always sweet, gentle and gracious, as, Indeed, sho Is to every one, except that there Is a deep rever ence tlngelng her treatment to her guardian. 'HVhat shall I do when you are gone, Luclle?" he asks one day, and sudden tears spring to her eyes before she can avert them. "Some day you will go, I suppose, and I havo no right to prevent It, If only my life were not tho un sightly, worn-out tiling it Is" She lays her hand ajalust his bearded Hps. "To me your lite Is beautiful, grand," she says shyly. "Bid mo stay, and I will never leave you never!" "You cannot mean It?" he cries eag. crly, catching her hands in his, "Oh love, I am so old, so unworthy I" "Love evens all things," she answers, "and I love you. What more Is neces sary? Or what difference can a few less years mine or a few more yours make? I think I have loved you always since the day you cried at mother's grave, iou loved her? "Yes." he answers softly, drawing Iter tenderly to nun in the purple shad ows of twilieht. "1 loved her once as I thought I could never love again; but now" "Now I shall love you all the more dearly because we both loved her. It was nut her fault that parted yott.Mark It was fate." And, fault or fate. In his heart he cannot wish It o'.ue.rwls. Woman is not much of a philoso pher, but she Is proverbially a clothes observer.
