Acquisition OF CunA.-ln speaking Of the
acquisition of the island Of Cuba by the United
States, the Liverpool Journal says:
1--WE see only a natural movement, the even
tua successful result of which is obvious, in the
cry for the acquisition of Cuba; and it IS idle in
England attempting to check IN inevitable de-
vclopmcnt of the influences created in the Union
by the existence of slavery. At any rate, the
history of England being history Of amexations,
We, in our press and in our conversations, should
be more scrupulous in our comments on the con-
duct of the States. Among other facts We have
to face ;s-that the United States arc rapidly
passing lis in most things which bcspcak gcnu-
inc national greatness"

ty binds you to make your transactions pay; Tor
otherwise YOU do not fulfil your calling, but fail
in it. Duty sanctions you i'll taking fit reward
for labor, for that is Gods universal law. DUTY
supplies you with every motive for being first
rate man Of business And the question is not
whether you will be negligent Or dgent, expert
or useless but, whether you will work as a mere
selfseeking animal, neither caringto please God
nor to profit man, or work as Christian, as a
child of God, taking an impulse from the Divine
Father to lay out your abilities in promoting the
universal veal
"Ah but don't understand that. 1t is too
transccndcntal for ME. l do understand mind
ing my own interests. That is a motive one
feels If tried to live by the other motive, 1t
would be only sham. must be content to say,
My business is to do what | can for myself. ="
Yes, that is true You must be content to say
it; or, whether you say it or rot, you must be
content to live by it, SO long as you have within
you that heart which dictates such speeches.-
What do You know about being child of God,
and looking upon gains and duties with the eye
of child of God, and trusting your own inter
ests to the heavenly Father, with the faith of a
child of God? You! Why, you live to buy
and sell, and get gain. You desire nothing bet
ter. You dream Of nothing nobler.
"Thc multiplication table is your creed,
Your paternostcr and your decalogue."
You do not cheat or steal; you know better.
That would be the way to lose, not gain 1t
would not serve in the long run. That is your
Chief objection to it. 1t would be short-sigitea
sclfShness Then, yours is also, short-sightcd
sclfslness; it will not answer in the long run.
1t may serve your turn to-day, but look before
YOU. You are not a. machue, constructed to
catch money; You were made for something
else. You have another life tolive,-a life where
wealth is not reckoned in coins, but i'll the com
nendation of God. You will not hold up your
commercial countenance in that day, with & shiny
lcer upon it, and say you leave such deep points
TO Others but as for you, you 60 ahead. tell
you, YOU are not money making machine. You
are man, Gods offspring, our brother. Gods
claims are upon you; mans claims are upon
you; immortality is within you; Judgment is
before you and every aspiration you waste up
Oh SELF is step towards eternal poverty.-Wm.

A PuzzLr-'rhe following sum or problem
Was given to & boy by gentlemen who offered
him $50 if he would do it within six months, at
the same time assuring him that it could bc done,
and there was no "trick" or "catch" about it.
Take nine figures, digits, 3 $3.50,
and also Tie 0, and add them together that
they amount to just l00-using them once and
but once. Thus, for instance, take and the o,
and they make 20, and then to the 20 add all
the rest of the figures. not used in making 10.
The problem would perhaps be better express
ed thus: Use all the ten numcral characters, 0
1886 6 I 8 0, but each only once, to form
numbers which, added together shall amount to
lust 100. This can be done without resorting
to any unnatural or improper expression Of the
numbers, and is a problem well worth the attcn-
ton of the young arithmeticans If any one
will let us know how it is done, we will inform
our readers.

BALM TO THE ORPHAN IIEART.--The sweet.

BALM TO THE ORPHAN HEARr.--The sweet
est balm to the orphan heart, when contempla-
ting the tomb of departed parent, is to be
able to lift the heart to God, and feel us in his
presence, that the heart which now lies cold
in death was never gricved by disobedence
from tho surviving child. On the contrary,
how sad it is to feel that perhaps our unknd
ness may have FASTENED to bring down those
grey hairs with sorrow to the grave.

ter in the Office of the Milwaukee News, q few
DAYS ago received letter, which informed
hm that his great uncle Marshal Mcdonald,
who recently died in Paris AT the Hotel de

sion in consequence of a wound in the leg re.
cciyed ut the bonlbardmeut of Canton. He

from the United States. His brother, Arthur
Mcdonald, was surgeon in the British navy,
and was on board the Terror, in the expedition
of Sir John Franklin since when, OF course,
he has no; been heard OF.
