FORTUNATE FScApE OF THE C,.pA Fy-
pHDlTIoNIsrs.-lhe Washington Republic
OF Yesterday, in recording the Illustration
at New York Of this affair, says:
"The ramification of this expedition ap-
pear most extensive, connecting certainly
New York, Philadelphia and New Orleans,
and probably Boston and some of the west
crn cities. That the parties concerned
will have reason to thank the government
for its interference, there is no doubt; il
being incontesta5le that, if the expedition
bad sailed and landed at any point Of the
island of Cuba, it would have been met Nv
an overwhelming Spanish force, for the
captain general was familiar with all TIE
plan, and few or none would have escaped
massacre or the garroie."

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMs-Todr dream
of mill stone around your neck is sign
of what you may expect il you get an ex-
asant wife.
To see apples in dream betokcns a
wedding, because where you find apples
you may reasonably expect to find pairs.
10 dream that you are lame is token
that you will get INTO a hobbl,.
When young lady dreams Of coffin,
it betokens that she should instantly dis
continue the use Of tight stays, and always
go warmly and thickly shod in wet wealth
or.
IF YOU dream of clock, it is a token
that YOU Will gain credt--that is, tick.
10 dream Of fire is a sign that--it You
are wise-yon will see the that the lights
in your house are out before YOU 60 to bed.
TO dream of walking barefooted denotes
journey that you Nill MAKE bootIess.
To dream of eggs is sign that you will
discover mares nest.

Scenery on tsac Crlasres
~ Esiyer.
BY BAYaRD J TAYLOR.


There is nothing in the world com
parable to these forests. No descrip-
ton that l have ever read CONVEYS an
idea ofthe splendid ovorplus of vegeta-
Bile lille within the tropics. The river,
broad and wiha swift current OF the
sweetest water | ever drank, winds be-
tween walls of iollaga that rise from its
very surface. A Il the gorgeous growth
Of au eternal Summer are9so mingled IN
one lmpeneirabe Mass, that the eye is
hewiidrred. Flom the rank jungie OF
canes and gigantic lilies, and The thil ket
OF strange Shrubs that line the waters,
rise trunks OF the mango, the zelda, the
cocoa, the sycamore, and the superb
p 'lm. PIaintain, take root in the banks,
hiding the soil with thrir leaves, shaken
and SPLIT into immense plumes BY the
wind and rain. The zapote, with a frult
the size of man head. the gourd tree,
ard other vegetable wondes attract the
eye on all sides. Blossoms of crimson,
purple, and yellow of form and marni
tude unknown IN the North are mingled
with the leaves, and 0ocks of paroquets
and Brilliant butterflies circle through
the air like blossoms blown away. Some
times pike OF scarlet flowers IS thrust
forth like the tongue Of the serpent
from the heat OF some co1yluion OF un-
ioiding leaves, and soinr' mes the creep
els and and parasites drop tails and stream
ers ii fragrance from houghS La f-awav
across the river. Every turn of the
stream only discloses another and more
magnificent vista of leaf, bough and bios
son. All out ofthe landscape is lost I'm
der this deIuge Of vegetation. No trace
OF the soil Is to be seen, lowiand and
highland are the same: a mountain is but
a higher swell Of the mass of verdure.
AS on The ocean, You have sense rath-
er than a perception OF beauty. The
sharp clear lines Of our scenery at home
are here wanting. What shape the land
would be, il cleared, you cannot tell.
You gaze upon tn" scene before you with
never stated delight, till YOU brain
aches with the sensation. and YOU close
your eyes, overwhelmed with the
thought that all these wonders have been
trom the begining-that year afer year
takes away no blossom that is not rppla,
ced, but the sublime mystery of growth
and decay is renewed forever

a Curious PnnNoMENoN is stated to
have occurred in Rosshirc, Scotland, du-
ring thunder storm. Immediately after
one of the lopdcst pca!s Of thunder ever
heard there, a large and irregular shaped
mass of ice, rcckoned TO be nearly twenty
feet in circumference, and Of proportion
ale thickness, fell near - farm house. It
had beautiful chryhaIlne appearance,
being nearly all quite Transparent, except
ing small portion oft, which consisted
OF hail stones of uncommon size, fixed to-
gethcr. 1t was principally composed of
small sqnares, diamond shaped, of from one
to three inches in size, all firmly CONCEALED
together. The weight of this large piece
OF ice could hot be asccrtaincd No ap-
pearance whatever of hail or snow was
OBSERVABLE in the surrounding district at
the time.

ONES MoTHER.-Around the idea OF
ones mother the mind of man clngs with
fond affection. II is the first dear thought
stamped upon our infant hearts, when yet
soft and capable of receiving most profound
impressions, and all the after feelings arc
more or less light in comparison. Ou1
passions and our wit,iness may lead us far
from the object Of our fiIial love; we NAV
become wild, headstroag and angry at hc1
counsels or opposition; but when death has
stlllcd her monitory, and nothing but calm
memory remains to recapitulate her vir-
tues and good deeds, affection, like flow
er beaten to the ground by rude storm,
raises up her head and smiles amidst her
tears. Around that idea as we have said,
the mind clings with fond affection; and
even when the earlier period of our loss,
forces memory to be silent, takes the place
OF remembrance, and twines the image OF
our departed parent with a garland Of gra-
ces, and beauties, and virtues, which we
doubt not that she possessed

PROGRESS OF BENEvoLENcE.--Thatthe Amer
lean people are not wholly engrossed by the passion
for money-makng, is evident from the rapid growth
and increasing usefulness Of some Of our public
ligIous and benevolent institutions Take the A
merIcan Tract Society for example. In 1910, its
income was less than SllS,000; last year it ex-
ceedet $237,O00 Then it had no colpor,eurs in
lis employ. Now it has over $50 laborine in TWEEN
ty-hve States and in Canada and New Mexico, ex-
elusive of nearly 100 theological students who are
occupied in It's service in their SIMMER vacations
In lo4o, The Society circulated less than SOC, 900
volumes; last year it issued abou, 700 900 volumes,
exclusive OF tract publications. OF these various
works, more ,han $4,000, 900 pages have been cir
culated gratuiousy during the last eighteen months
In 1910, the Tract Magazine, (now American Mes
sengerl published s0O8 copies There are now
100000 copies of it circulated. Then there were

YOUNG MEN.


There Is no morJl object SO beautiful to me as

temptation not without struggle, for that is not

sarcasm OF The progate, and it stings him. for that

If there Isl any act which deserves deep and bit
Ter condemnation, it is that of triflng with the in
estimable gift Of woman's affection. The female
heart may be compared to 4 delicate harp, over
which the breathings of earlier affections wander.
until each tender chord is awakened to tones of in
efabe sweetness. 1t is the music Of the soul which
is thus called iorth--a music sweeter than the fall
OF fountains of the Houri in the Hoslem's Paradise
But wo TO the delicate fashioning of that harp. if
chain pass the love which first called forth its
hidden harmones. Let neglect and cold unknd
ness sweep over lis delicate strings. and they break
one after ano'her-slowiy, perhaps, but surely.
