TO NV MOTHER IN HEAVEN.
GY THOMAS FITZGERALD

EY -HomAs FITZGERALD.
Dear mother, in silent hours Of night,
When stars around me shed their chastcuc5 lisht
] think Of thee, and mourn thou art not here,
With smile TO bless, and kindly word to cheer.
All. mother life is but thorny way;
When longest is at best little day.
glcam Of sunshine, and anon a cloud
The bridal robe, soon followed by the shroud.
Dear mother, sadness fills my slceplcss eye,
And tears fast follow the unconscious sigh
But still the heart o'crwhc!mcd with heavy grief
In thought Of thee, dear mother, finds relief
Dear mother, be thou still the watchfuI guide.
In honor's path Of him who was thy pride
So shall my feet, from snsres of error free
Tread Only paths Of truth, toward Heaven and thee

CURToUs CASE OF TNsANiTY-There is a man in
Cincinnati, who is quite sane in every point but
one he ances he can understand the hog language
and insists that he has even heard them concoctHp
plans to seize the city. lie has repeatedly called
at the Mayors office and surprised him by the
earnest and serious manner in which he made the
communication, as he had known the singular being
to have once been worthy and respectable citizen.
This man owned property near these hog pens and
his business being Of public nature il suffered
in consequence offs vicinity to an offensive nus
ance. Inquiry and subsequentfac proved that the
annoyance so worked upon his weak mind as to eu-
tirely derange his reason.

tive in organizing republican clubs, Secretly thro-
out the whole island-they have at those clubs col
lecied large sums ct money. and forwarded il 10
their friends in the United States for the purchase
OF arms and munitions of war. The Cuban repub-
leans sent agents TO New York, Philadelphia, Bal
tmore, Louisville and New Orleans-those agents
have worked hard and faithfully -ihey have pur-
chased and paid for 10000 stand Of arms, two
steamboats,, and four five sailing vessels they
have enrolled 1900 volunteers, and have commits
stoned gentlemen of experience and acknowledged
bravery to command ihem-principally officers of
