A Throne for a Kiss.

Oleopatra's tear, says Byron, lost a world) Queen Natalie's kiss lost », throne. Id wai twelve years ago, in the cathedral »i Belgrade, Hataiie, the daughter of a mil'ionaire colonel in Russia, had married Milan, the king whose wasted life is the great tragedy of Servian politics. It was a life that Wat barely worth the liying, and the Roßuisti Colonel's daughter soon knew ife. King Milan squandered her mil iions, betrayed the love bob lavished on him, and heraped neglect on . insnlt, iorralt on neglect. Then came the Bandwy at the cathedral, Ifc was Easter, And as the congregation left the aanctaary the Court passed oat in front of the Royal pair, the raen to be kissed by the King, *t\tl women by the Qaeen. There came it woman Queen Natalie would not deign to notice. The procession paused, and ft painful silence filled the place. The Queen, young and beautiful, gaaed on the »Har. Every eye was or her, but •be stood still in her m«Jßsfcy, Milan tvraedjtowards fatr,' Ki»B Madame—,' he Mid, and the Queen, gazing on the altar itill, iard 'No.' Milan took hold of her arm: "Kiss Madame—,' he 6aid agais, !■ * tone louder than before, and again her eyes still turned away, Qaeen Natalie ■aid 'No/ It was a terrible moment for thoie who lived in it.* A king raised bis hand to strike a queen ; there are those who-say he would have strangled her. Confusion reigned in the cathedral •nd when qaiet came again, Qaeen Natalie was gone .By aa unjust decree the King dissolved the union, and the Queen went to live at Wiesbaden, her little sou with her-—the eon who has bow decreed that bis mother shall not enter iiii dominions. Milan is dead, and the child Qaeen Natalie bore him reigns la his stead, fche enemy of hi? mother •>• his lather was. And Natalie, still beautiful, though with the mark of tragpdy on her face—still in the prime of womanhood, thoagh she has passed through long years of sorrow, lives on alone, a pathetic figure whom to see is to love, bat through whose life love fcaa shot its poisoned arrow.
