those who occupy these stations at the pres

application, is a significant one and the
simple truth of the matter is, that SO lnnu-

mind with dreamy aspirations after tame'

MARLBORO HOTEL, BosToN,
JANUARY l, 1910.
Another revolution in the wheel of Time is
lust completed, and all its vast machinery seems
to pause moment, as if to mark the footprints
and hear the solemn knell of departed year.
What millions of broken hearts and crushed
hopes respond in deep tones of anguish to each
stroke, as hour after hour tells off the CULVER
ing pulse of '48, and seals up its every deed
with those before the flood, until the Judgment
of another day.
The lonely hearth, the vacant char, the silent
harp these and thousand other scattered links
in loves discovered chain, stand out with painful
vividness in The silence of this reflective hour,
challenging each survivor to prepare himself for
departure from these busy scenes,-to cast up
the long account of broken promises, unheeded
mercies, unrepented sins, and see what are his
prospects for the future,-what the amount Of
his investments in the Treasury of Benevolence
what his resources for the coming life,-what
his education for Immortality, -what foot prints
'48 has left on his own character and prospects.
Such an investigation is surely betting each
annual revolution in our short span. These are
points in our pathway, whence, if wise, the eye
may catch an instructive glimpse ofwhat is pass
ed, and what is to come.
But, looking beyond individual interests, we
see the past year marked by events new and most
extraordinary.
The congratulations of the opening year were
scarcely finished, when the world was suddenly
shaken by moral earthquake in the metropolis
of France.
This was followed, in quick succession, by
shock after shock, throughout the Continent
The foundation of ancient dynasties suddenly
crumbled, and the consolidated power of ages
has, in many instances, given place to anarchy
and fearful apprehension
Mind, as if aroused from the sleep of centu-
ries, rendng assundor every letter that bound it
rushes forth to luxurate in the open air and sun
light of heaven. LIBERTY is the motto which
now graces the peoples flag in all lands, and in
spires with new life every patriot heart For Sc
curing this boon, some of the purest spirits o
Europe have, the last year, pered life, fortune
and honor, and millions have been swayed by
their example.
The Sovereign Pontif, Emperors, Kings ant
Dukes, have been seen humbly compromising al
the shrine of Liberty, and bending to his sterr
DEGREES. They may indeed return to their places
but not to their seats of power. These are
among the things that were,the things that per

Cnba and its CapitOl.

Havana is in many respects desirable, as
well as a delightful place for a Winters resi-
dence. Its harbor has very narrow entrance,
but spreads Immediately into vast basin large
enough to hold thousand ships of the first
class. On the extreme point at the left Of the
entrance, stands the Lighthouse, near which is
the Moro Castle, and a little beyond on the same
side, is a much more extensive and important
work, called the Cabanas. Nearly opposite the
Moro, on the west side OF the Channel or en-
trance to the harbor is a small fertilization named
The Punta. On a height overlooking the city
about three-fourths of mile west of the Punta,
in another fort, and still another on an elevation
one half-mile east from the Moro.
These works, together with one or more large
ships of war, always found in the harbor, render
this one of tho most strongly fortified cities IN
the world. On the south side of the harbor is a
considerable village, called the Regulas, near to
which are two hospitals. Between the Regulas
and the city, which is built on the west side Of
the channel a steam ferry-boat passes every
half hour during the day. Havana ranks among
the first cites in America in commercial impor.
lance, and is increasing rapidly wealth as well
as in the number of its inhabitants. 1t is purely
Spanish in it, construction, with its balconies,
awnings, terraces and narrow streets.
The houses are built of coral rock,-general-
y two stories high, with huge doors and immense
grated windows. The doors and windows are
all open, and as the streets are passed during the
evening when the houses are brilliantly lighted,
the eye penetrates the whole interior of domes-
tic life.
The city is the great mart Of the large and
beautiful island of Cuba, which enjoys perpet~
ual Summer, combined with luxllriance and
variety of vegetation hardly paralleled in any
other region. The soil of Cuba pours forth at the
slightest touch of cultivation, two or three crops
in year of the most delicate and nutritive of
products; sugar-cane, pine apples, sweet pota-
toes, oranges, lemons, plantains, bananas, cocoa
coffee, maize, tobacco; and great variety of
other fruits and vegetables, whose names are
scarcely known abroad, are abundant here. The
product of sugar plantation is stated from cal
culations published by the Patriotic Society, at
about fifteen per cent on the capital invested.
The growth of the native orange tree is very
rapid, and its culture might be made great
source of wealth. In its perfect state, this tree
exhibits at the same time its rich, deep green
foliage, its perfuming flowers and its golden,
glowing fruit, afording altogether the most
SPLENDID spectacle in the vegetable world,
