Cuba under tEac Flag of the Uni.
 ted States.

Under this head the editor of the New York Sun, in his paper of the 23l uIt, publishes leading editorial article, com mencing and proceeding thus:
 While in Havana last winter. We had consultation with a meeting Q. the most inflnential and wealthy men of thai, city upon the union ef Cuba 10 the Uni led States, andpromised 10 lay the mat. ter before the people of this country as soon as the Mexican qneslion had been dis osed of. Mex'ce, 10 all in,ents and purposes, is now in our possession. All partles in the Uni'ed States. and even foreign ealioEs. lnok upon lhai question as settled, so far as conquest and oc- cnpaifcn are concerned, and we now has.cn to fufil our promise, and that promise must be our apology for this ,rtlcle. Cuba, by geographical poslion, necessity, and right, belongs to the Unl, led States, 1t may, and must be ours.- The moment has arrived 10 place ii in our hands, and under ou flag. Cuba is In he market for sale, and we are aus thorzed by parties eminenllv able to tula what they propose. 10 say, that if the United Siatrs will cffar the Spanish government one hundred millions of dollars, Cuba is ours, and that with one weeks notice he whole anouot will be raised and paid over by the iohabiianis of he Island One week is all they ask 'f our governmem will only moke ihe otfr for them 10 acl upon, and which Spain is ready 10 accept This is uo vision, but a fixed fact, of which we have seen, ard now hold ihe most nn- doubted proofs. The posseslon of Gu ba will complete our chain Of territory, and give us the North American Con,I> neDt.
 Afler speaking of the products, posi-. ton, and revenues of Cuba, in tlatlering terms, but in language no, more naller- ing than the facts warrant, he concludes ny saying:
 Give us Cuba. and our possessions are complete. Spain is ready ,o sell, he Cnbans are waiting for us to make ihe purchase, and to come al once lnto he Union. Lss, the lhing be done, we pledge oursel.es hat the hundred ml> 'lons will be forthcoming 10 meet he of Ter, and that Ccba will prove the richest conquest eyer made by the U States.
 This article will no doubt form pro. lihc theme of comment and discussion.

The sabbath Morning.

How calm comes on this holy day!
 Morning unfolds the eastern sky, And upward takes her lofty way,
 Triumphantto to her throne on high. Earth glorious wakes. as o'er her breast
 The Morning fiings her rosy ray, And blu hing tiom her dreamless rest,
 Unveils her to the gage oi day; So still the scene, each wakeful sound, Seems hallowed music breathing round. The night winds to their mountain caves,
 The morning mists to heaven's blue steep And 10 their ocean depths the waves Are gone, their holy rest to keep. ri, tranquil n -around-above-
 The forests far which bound the scene Are peaceful as their Makers love,
 Like hills oi everlasting green; And clouds like earthly barriers stand, As bnlwarks oi some vlewlessland. Each tree that lifts iis arm in air,
 Or hangs its pensive head from high, Seems bending at is morning prayer,
 Or whispering with the hours gone by!- This holy morning, Lord, is thine;
 Let silence saociity the pralse- Lei heaven and earth in love combine,
 Ind morning stars their music raise Fol lis the day--iov-ye dead, N hen death and hell are captive led!

Why .sMeuld there be so mulch < Disc;ese

Because, in numbers of things, we do lnsI wbat Sy our nature We were never intended to do. For example:
 1. Man is intended 10 draw in fresh dir every time he btealhes. Almost all people, when in their shops, breathe the same air over anc over again. To show the necessity of allowing fresh air continually 10 enter living rooms, and ,he bad air to escape, during each mnuie of his life, every man deslroys.a q"anii " of mir twice as large as hlmself.
 9 Man ought to breathe fresh air eve. " breath. Our sewers and drains are so bad that the vapofs and. foul gases rise, aud we breathe them.
 3. Man was intended 10 take exercise in the open air every day. Nelher his heart, his stomach and bowels. his liver his skin, his lungs, his kidneys, nor his brain will act rghily, without walking exercise every day. Most of us do not get any walking exercise, or only short ones, uhlch is scarcely of use.
 4. Man was formed to lake simple, plain, wholesome food. He ea,s all sorts df things. which not only do aim no good, but do him harm; and drinks large quantities of beer, spIriis and wine, which hurt his stomach, and take aw ay the proper use Of ihe brain.
 Man ough' r. wash himself over ailh wa'er every day, so as to cleanse the pores of ihe >kln, else they get stop ped sp; he cannot perspne rightly, and his skin cannot b, ealhe.
 6. Man should wear clean clothes next his skin, because ihe body d. char ges bad fluids. Al present, many peo- pie wear the same clothes day afleI day for weeks Geeiher,
