SIT DOWN, SAD SOUL,

SIT DOWN. SAD SOUL.
Sit down, sad soul, and count
The moments flying
Come-tell the sweet amount
That's lost by signing.
How many smiles "a score I?
Then laugh and count no more,
For day is dying.
Lie down, sad soul, and sleep,
And no more measure
The flight Of time nor weep
The loss of leisure
But here, by this lone stream,
Lie down with us and dream
Of starry TREASURED!
We dream; do thou tho same,
We love forever -
We laugh, yet few we shame,
The gentle never;
Stay, then, till sorrow dies.
Then hope and happy skies
Are thine forever!

that ho was instructed to urge, not the sale
of Cuba to US, but that Spain should acknowl-
edge its Independence, on the property hold
eFs of the island paying into the treasury of
the Realm fair equivalent for the peouniary
sacrifice which the mother country might

instructed to back the exsrtions of the Cuban
liberali8ts 10 this end, by Offering tho United

pscuniary engagements Cuba might mako to
Spain in such an arrangement.
1t will be perceived that in this polio, '. with
its consequences of future iasnt ity of interests
and relations between the Island and the

offensive to the dignity of Spain, involving, if
successful, only conduct on her part showing
that she was living up to the enlightened
spirit Of the age, and dealing with Cuba only
as parent would deal with it's beloved of.

not the gist of Mr. Soule's Cuban instructions,
the wisdom of which was probably cordially
acquiesced in by him when he left the United

him long to initiate the hopeless policy of en-
deavoring to induce Spain to sell the island

and discretion as to render the idea of acuui.
