NO MONEY-DON'T FRET.

81 can't collect single ccnt,--what shall
do?" is the question asked on the street. Why,
my dear sir, take it philosophically. If your
ncighbor does not possess cent ana you can't
collect your just dues, don't get into an excite
mcnt over it. You will live just as long if you
don't f,et, and you will not live half as happy if
you do fret. Probably there arc thousands in
this wide world Of ours, worse off than YOU
many, probably, arc now dying of starvation
Think of this, and instead of rcpining over your
fate, work more earnestly, economze more close
ly, live more frugally, and we feel sure you will
die more happily. This everlasting grumbling
don't pay. It's losing business, and will swamp
a man quicker than the failure Of a Bank. Nerve
up your cncrgics-spring to your task-let your
will bear YOU over the rough pillows of disaster,
and when the clouds have passed and the Sun
shines forth brilliantly, you will be enabled to
gather up the golden sands on the shore,
thrown up by the waves Of immigration, which
are continually coming in from the great sea of
civilization, refinement and wealth. When ad-
versity comes upon us, then is the time to put
forth greater clforts-then is the time to be the
most calm-to wake up the latent powers of the
soul and rise above the petty annoyances of life.
Work !-work-don't stop, but work more cheer
fully-work hardcr-work with determination,
and you will just as surely succeed, rs the Sun
rises and shines and gladdens all nature.
EXCITEMENT IN UAvANA.-Wc have hitherto
looked upon the fllibustering movements in the
United States, which have had for their end the
acquisition of Cuba, as not only wrong, but cal
culated to bring disgrace upon our country and
our Government. Viewing these movements in
this light, We have always opposed them, but if
the recent information which give in to-day's
paper, respecting the conduct of the Captain
General, is true, we don't care how soon such
cold. bloodel villains are deposcd, nor how soon
Spain is driven to part with that portion Of her
possessions which furnish her her greatest reve-
nue.. The execution of Pinto, the former Sccre-
tary of the Captain General, has aroused the pub
lie feeling, rs it should arouse it, and brought
down on the head of the murderer just indigna-
ton. Notwithstanding the refusal of the Minis
ter of War to countcrsign the death warrant of
Pinto, in consequence of want of sufficient rclia-
bic testimony-notwthstand the intercesson
of the Consul Generals of the United States, Great
Britain and France, still the bloody act was COM
mitted, to crafty the vindictiveness of worse
than monster. The repetition of another such an
act will open the way for tho liberation of Cuba,
and will just as inevitably place that Island in
the hands of the fillibustcrs, as that there is q
Sun in Heaven.
The CINCINNATI RIoT.-We give full account
of the riot in Cincinnati in to-day's paper. The
cause of the riot is attributed to the destruction
of the ballot box and tally lists of the llth and
10Th Wards, which were forcibly seized by body
of men while in the hands of the Judges. At the
last accounts every thing was quiet. Whoever
the persons were who seized the ballot. box, they
are the ones who are to blame. We are not in
formed whether they were forei :ncrs or Amer-
cans.
