STAIN AND THE CUBAN MvAbERs.-
Ii is said that the Spanish Minister al
Washington has called the attention
of the President to the fact thatorgan;-
cations are forming in various sections
of the Union for another invasion oi
Cuba. The Washington correspon-
dent Of the New York Courier, IN an.
nouncing the alarm Of the Spanish Mi
mister, adds:
"Spain will contest the possession Of
Cuba, as it is her just right to do, al
every hazard and with every means
of defence that can be procured by her
own resources, or if need be, BY ALI
ance with other Powers. A vIgmors
policy has been ordered, and the Cap,
ain-General Of the Island, in obedi
ence to instructions, under the apprc.
hended revolt and invasion, has direct
ed that every person taken with arms
in his hands against the authorities
shall be shot within three hours after
wards. A further order has been is
sued, that in case any officer should've
fuse to execute the foregoing penalty
he shall be shot instantly for contumacy
The failure Of our courts to conyic
the eypeditionists engaged in the las
] crusade against Cuba, had not only en-
couraged others 10 repeat that lawles
enterprise, but it has created bad i'm
preston abroad as to the ability Of til,
Judicial tribunals to administer the Law
IN the face Ct a morbid state Of opin
ion."

Mr.. Bones, of the firm of Fossil, Bones and

men whose uninterrupted success in trade had
been the wonder, and afforded the material for
the gossip of the town for seven years. Being
of familiar turn OF mind, he was frequently in.
terrogated on the subject, and invariably gave
as the secret of his success, that he minded his
own business,

dashing foaming waters as they fell over the dam
He was evidently in brown study, Our friend

Beauties of Mature.

As we look around over this vast eXpanse of land
and water spread out before us, what unspeaka-
bic feelings of delight, mingled with satisfaction,
fill our minds, and even choke the powers OF ut.
lerance and as we view the natural Propensi-
ties of the animal and vegetable creation, we are
still led to wonder at the benign wisdom of God,
as, even there we find it betrayed. Man, in his
own natural sphere, was created, in the form
Of God, endowed with intellect, high and
lowering in some, low and trivial in others
Man was placed upon this earth to improve aud
cultivate his mind, and God lcrelold that by his
untiring zeal and ardor, it should become great
er. He filled the earth with all that is beautiful
and lovely. Flowers of every kind, name and
description, he caused to grow in wonderful ex-
uberance he created animals, which might
help, in some way or manner, man to the carry
ing out of his plans and in short God created
everything, both suitable and convenient for the
mower of man. Numerous streams and rivers
were formed to water and varegate the land
but alas, man, surrounded by all these comforts
innumerable and beneficient, was compelled tC
sin, sin for a mere bubble to crafty the craving
ruthless desire of the tempter he could not re-
sist the temptation he took, he cat, and all this
beauty of nature passed away unnoticed.
