ate acquisition of Cuba. | believe, aud the
democratic masses believe. in the words of
one of the most eminent and patriotic sons Of
New York, "that true policy requires the gov
eminent of the United States to strengthen its
political and commercial relations upon this
continent by the annexation of such contigu-
GUS territory as may conduce TO that end aud
can be Justly obtained" hope that our En-
pire State may now, a. in 1874, respond to
the principle contained ia this memorable de
claration, and that the popularity of this just,
expedient aud welcome measure may calm
and unite the troubled elements OF our party
organization"

the eyes sustain from studying on la
boring by candle light those who
spend the night in occupation of any
kind, and waste the morning in sleep,
lose the most beautiful period Of the

consider each day as a sketch, in mini
atwe, of human life, in which the
morning represents you'll, moon, man
hood; and evening, old age. Who
would not then employ the youthful
part of each day in labor, rather than
begin his work in the evening, the
period OF old age and debility? Inthe

perest sense Of the word: the mind, al
