Highly Important News
from Cuba,

Opening Of the Cuban Revolution. For
NATION Of Guerrilla Parties IN tie

troops IN pursuit Of the Patriots. Com
msemcenaejst Of tie Hostilittes expected.
The brig Lelhera, Capt. Bentley, arrived
at this port yestarday afternoon, from Nue.
vitas, bringing the following highly inter-
esting and important intelligence from
Principe. The news is derived from letters
received by Cuban gentleman OF respec-
liability, residing in this city, to whom we
are indebted Tor what we publish.
Port Principe, it will be remembered, is
a city comprising Within rs jurisdiction a
population of one hundred thousand souls
mostly whites. An inland city remote
from all the Establishments. frivoliies, and
ierelgn influence which operate up,n and
change the native disposition of the inhabi-
tants of sea>port towns, the Principanos
are notod for their strength of character,
inhexlbIe uprightness, sturdy honesty, and
conscientious adherence to right principles
and abhorrence of wrong, in spite Of perse-
cutIon or opposition, no matter under what
circumstances. The Princpanos may, in
fact, be considered types of real Cuban
character, and it is not too much to say
that in many of their prominent character
istlcs. they resemble the old Puritans Of
New England. 1t would naturally be ex>
pected that such place would be the hot
bed and nursery for liberty and democracy;
and such is the fact
For years the desire OF release from the
terrible thraldom of despotism, which has
so long manacled Cuba and the Cubans,
has burned into the hearts oil the Principa-
nos. Each year has the fire grown streng-
er and greater, and many times has the
smothered volcano of popular feeling all but
burst forth. But till now, by the ceaseless
watching and manEuvres of Spanish des-
pots, the application of their tortures, the
use OF the garrote, the sword, the dungeon
and expatriation, they have managed to
prevent, up 10 this time, general rising of
the people. though every act of cruelty has |
but MAJ the day of vengeance more GER
tain of approach. and the revenge, when il |
does come more terrible.
The late sudden arrest. confinement and
quick banishment of ten of the first and most
men of Principe, for the crime
Of being concerned in the revolutionary
for Liberty, created the utmost
among the people. Full ac>
counts of these arrests were recently pub
ished in the Sun. The action of the gov
eminent in the execution of, such a high-
handed act, only Sc emed to bring on the
crisis and open the outbreak. The advices
We are now in possession of, confirm our
previous notices, in regard to the assem- I;

VENEzUELA,-Was the first state to de-

TALL SPoRT.-Mr. George Gelston, a
we'll known sportsman at Fort Hamilton
caught shark i'll the Narrow yesterday,
measuring between seven and eight feet
i'll length. He was fishing with a hook
baited with small fish. when the mon
ster snapped it, and the line proved strong
enough to bring him alongside Of the boat,
when he made violent effort to knock
his assaiant with blow of his tail. For
tunately, MIR. Gelston was armed with a
spear, with which he soon despatched his

ANOTHER ELoPEmENT.- OF late we have
heard of more elopements than common, and
often feel inclined to doubt the truth of the
rumors daily given forth. but en- enquiry, we
regret to add, we generally find them too
true. Surely the Queen City is acquiring an
enviable reputation in this respect. Hardly
a day passes but we hear Of some young buck
coursing his way to Aberdeen, CbeViot, Cleye'
land, SharPsburgh, or some other outlandish
place In company with some fair daughter of
youthful teens; scarcely sold enough to leave
her nanny yet" much less assume the try
ing cares of domestic life.
We hardly know what Mrs. Darlington
will say when she hears of the change in the
tone of merals in iSin-sin-nati, but, however,
we reconcile and cendolo ourselves in the delu-
ded hope that we are prepared for the wor Of.
come what will No longer ago than FRIDAY
last physician who resides in the beautiful
town of Venice, in Butler county, came here
with blushing, cherry-ripe Miss,-engaged
seats in the afternoon train for Cleveland, and
was off at two o'clock and forty minutes, bound
ing over hill and dale, at the rate of twenty or
thirty miles an hour. All is not yet told how
ever. He has wantonly abandoned faithful
wife with one little child to glorify in their
easy release from one who hath sworn 10 ''love,
cherish and protect" through life,-from one
who hath broken that sacred vow, and taken
up with an inexperienced girl perhaps, for
whose ruin and wreck he will some day have
to answer for with conscience-stricken hor-
ror The parents of the girl have offered a re-
ward of one hundred dollars for his arrest, and
dispatches were promptly forwarded to Cleve-
land to arrest the parties.

PRAYER.-Prayer is not a smooth express

the product of a ready memory; nor rich ia

These may draw neat picture oft, but still
the life is wanting. The motion Of the
heart towards God, holy and divine perfec-
ton, makes prayer real. lively and accepta-

A Lay of Love.


BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
Yet once again I've seen thee,
And my every thought is thine,
Ay, / kneel to tnee in worship
AS to an idol-shrine.
In my spirits silent chambers,
Where hope may never be,
One lonely light is burning
'Tis holy love OF thee.
| see thee-oh, see thee
In the shadows on the river,
see thee in the moon : sweet beams
That on the bright lake qCiver;
see thee in the mlsls that move
Like spectrcs DER the streams,
And at midnight deep see thee
In the shadowy world OF dreams.
hear thec-oh | hear thee
In the murmurlng OF the waves,
And in the soft and twilight guSh
Ottountains from their caves
] hear thy voices music
In each sound that wandcrs by
In the cadence OF the night-bird.
And the winds mysterious sigh.
Ilove tlce-oh.I love thee
Thou art in the darkest hour
10 my soul star, t"unt Il bird,
A muslc-tOne, flower:
love thee, and thy dear thought thrills
Each fibre OF m, frame,
Like Heavens own lightning. and my heart
In each throb calls thy name.
love hee-oh, love thee,
And | would these words were born
To thee on every holy breeze
Otcvcntide and morn;
love thee, and would those words
Were written on the sky,
Aud on each star and flower and leaf
That greet thy gentle eye.

Nature had been very profIse in bestowinc
her favors upon Mr. Frank Gadsby. In the
first place she had given him very elegant
person. tall and ofmanly proportions; secondly,
pair of large dark-hazel eyes, which could
beam with tenderness or become fixed in the
fine frenzy of despair as best suited the
pleasure of their owner. Above them she had
placed a broad, white forehead, and adorned it
with waving hair, of dark, glossy brown.
Next a splendid set of teeth attested her skill
and favor; and to complete the tout ensemble.
whiskers and moustachc were unsurpassable.
WELL said Fortune, rather rutiled. IF
Nature has been so prodgal, he shall have none
of my asslstance-not he Let him make his
way through the world by his good looks, if he
can. | will seek out some ordinary looking
fellow, whom nature has neglected, and with
my golden smiles atone for the want of those
attractions which soonest with the favor Of the
fair
And thus, under the ban of Fortune. Frnnl,
Gadsby left college,
He protested to study the law MS a means cr
winning the favor of the goddess, and had n
small back rooT up thee flights of stairs, fur
nlshed with table and two chairs on which
table several voluminous law books very quiet
ly reposed, being seldom forced to open their
oracular jaws to give forth their sage opinions.
This was his study But the person who should
expect TO find him there, | am sorry to say,
would have fruitless visit, and drag up those
steep stairs for nothing. He would be much
more likely to meet him pronenadng Chestnut
street, gallanting some beautiful young girl up
and down its thronged pape-or at the art
Union, with an eye upon the living beauties
there congregated, not upon the pictures which
adorn its walls.
And yet would not wish to convey an cr-
roneous opinion, in thus knitting at the usual
whereabouts OF Mr.. Gadsby Ifhc did not study,
