Tomb of COlum bus.

A correspondent, of the Picayune, giving de-
scrption of the cathedral of Havana, writes as
follows:
Within the sacristy, and 10 the right
OF the alter in the cathedral, is table of
stone, inlad in the wall, having on it the
bust of man in basso relieve. Within
this lie the ashes Of the immortal Christie
phcr Columbus, the discoverer of this the
New World.
The remains Of the great navigator, as
all know, were conveyed from Spain to
st. Domingo, and after having rested
there one hundred and three years, they
were in 1906 transferred TO Havana; they
are preserved in a silver urn, enclosed in
leaden chest.
Thus has The cathedral of Havana, the
honor Of being the receptacle of his dust,
of whose birth five cities elaine the dis
tinction, and of whom as beneiactor of
the human race, conjecture has no estl-
mate--language has no appropriate Gu
logy."

CHILDREN AT PLAY.

Up in the morning, as soon as the lark,
late in the evening, when falleth the dark,
Afar on the upland, or under the tree,
Come the sweet voices Of children to me.
! am an old man, and my hair is gray,
But sit in the sunshine to watch you at play,
And kindlier current doth run though each vein,
And bless you, bright creatures again and again.
l rejoice in your sports, in the warm summer
weather,
While, hand locked in hand, ye are striving to-
gethcr;
But | see what you see not-the sorrow and strife
Of the years that will come in the contest OF life.
For | am an old man. and age looke,h on
TO the time that will be, from The time that is gone
But you blessed crca,ures you think not OF sorrow,
For your joy is to-day, and ye have no tomorrow
All, sport we, and wrestle-be glad as the sun,
And lie down to rest WI IN your pastime is done {;
For your dreams are g" -lnshine, of blossom and
dew,
And the God Of the Blessed doth watch over yoC,
While the angels Of heaven are missioned to keep
Unbrokcn the calm of your innocent sleep;
And an old mans blessing doth DER you dwell,
The whole day long-and so fare ye well!

Good and Evil.

AT superficial glance one would sup
pose that all those tributary streams that
make up the river of benevolence or good
ness were dried up at their fountain; that
there was no goodness in the world.
This is not the Gaze. Vir,uous actions
proceeding from pure principles, passes
like the sunshine, still and quietly through
the world, and distls, like the dew of
heaven its equal blessings secretly; not
even letting its left hand know what its
right hand doeth. While, on the other
hand, evil is blazoned forth with trumpet
tongues, and every pains is taken to re-
cord, and give to the world its crimes and
lolies. The most revolving murders, the
new invented modes Of suicide. the sys-
tematized manner of seductions, with all
the catalogue of lesser crimes, is faithfully
heralded by almost every press in the
Union, discussed in public assemblies, re-
hearsed in private circles, and made the
subject of the ire-side conversation.
And what is the effect upon commune
ty and individuals, in giving publicity tC
crime9 Does it check it! Does the ia
miiarizing ourselves with crime have ;
tendency to prevent it! does it soften the
feelings does it call ont and keep in OK
ercise, the purest sentiment Of the mind
does it more and more shock the fine feel
inrs of our nature Ask the habitua
prolane swearer--what were his feelings
the first time he blasphemed his Maker
and he will tell you, that he shuddered a
the mpious expression that had ESCAPED
his lips, and the recollection of it stun!
him to the very soul. Ask him what eli
feet it has upon his feelings now-and h
will tell YOU that he does not even thinI

The water is as clear as the brightest
crystal, and through its azure depths the
eve can discern the white sand that spar
kIes at the bottom. This constitutes the
famous bathing place, and here the beau
monde of BairitZ are to be seen, during
the heat of the morning, executing their
watery purposes beaux and bellies alike,
sporting and flirting as though the sea
were their native element. The ladies
are dressed in The thnest linen garments,
with gigantic hats of straw, as a protec-
ton from the suns rays. They are kept
IN buoyant position by bladders passed
under their arms, while expert bathing
men push them over the bay, by holding
their feet with one hand and swimming
with the other. fancy your astonsh-

it cannot be greater than was mine on my
