Natural Productions of Cuba.

Cuba has been justly styled the garden Of The
world, perpetual summer smiling upon its ia
vored shores, and its natural wealth almosl
battling :he capacity Of estimation. The wa
lers which surround il are filled with fishes,
whose bright colors, emulaling the iinis fPre-
cions stones and The prismaIic hues Of the rain
bow, astonish the eye Of The stranger. Stately
trees Of various species, the most conspicuous
being the royal palm, rear their luxurlant TO-
liage against the azure heavens, along the
sheltered bays, BY the way-side, on the swells
Of the hacienGas, deliehting the eye Of the
traveller, and diversifying the ever-charming
face of the tropical landscape. Through the
woods and groves fit variety Of birds, whose
dazzling colOrs defy the palette Of the artist
Here the loquacous parrot utters his harsh
natural note; there the red famingo stands pa
patiently BY the shore Of the lagoon, watching
in the waters, dyed BY the reflection Of his plu-
mage, for his unconscious prey. II would re-

Never despise your Business.

No man of sense it has been observed,
despises his bread and butter 1t is only
the weak who are ashamed of laboriug for a
livelihood, or who affect to scorn the branch
Of business which they especially pursue.
The first duty which every man owes to
himself, TO his family, and to his fellow citi-
zens, is not TO become 4 burden pecuniarily TO
society. That commonwealth also is the most
fourishing in which the proportion Of drones
is the fewest indeed, the idea of a perfect
State involves the necessity of every member
of it being producer. Hence it is that work
is always honorable. The most ordinary
handicraft employment is as worthy, if exer-
cised honestly, as the professions of law or
medicine. Each citizen should follow that
avocation for which he is best suited, and
when he does this he ful6ls the law of his
existence; but never otherwise. A bad law
yer is less truly respectable than good me-
chanic and an able doctor IS no more merito-
rious than an honest laborer. To do ones
duty, in the walk where one can be most
efficient, is to be honorable 10 neglect it, or
to seek some other walk. is TO become really
disgraced. By this standard, and this only,
should We Judge Of mems responsibility. It
is time that we republicans banished the arbi-
trary lines Of caste, as applied to the pursuits
of life, which are derived from feudal Europe.
Yet there are thousands Of men who are at
heart ashamed of their business. Are they
retail venders They scorn continuing to
make money in their old way, and long to en-
bark in the wholesale line. Are they jobbers
They think if they could only be shippers that
their glory would culminate. Are they me-
chanics. They regret they are not lawyers.
Are they farmers! They think TO be in bust
ness in town. Such persons, in their hearts,
worship absurd distinctions, inherited from
the social life of England, and regard the
physician, the politician, or the banker, as
really greater men than common human clay.
These are what Thackeray calls snobs :
men of pretence and weak folly; men who
despise their own bread and butter. The wise
man on the contrary, seeks independence by
steadily attending to his business, well aware
that an independence, honestly acquired, is
his best claim to esteem. 1t is young men, or
rather lads, that are oftenest victims to this
weakness. Tens of thousands have been
shipwrecked in life from having chosen pur-
