WHEN it was announced that a
Cuban expedition was about to sail
from New Orleans or some other
Southern port, orders were sent to
Admiral Hof, commanding the
squadron in Cuban waters, to inter
cept any such expedition and pre-
vent its landing. An expedition
sails from New York in open day,
without any attempt at secrecy, aud
although the Secretary of State was
telegraphed to to stop the sailing OF
the vessel, he paid no attention to
the request, and no steps were taken
to prevent this expedition from
leaving. Why this vigilance at tho

Let all baahful people, and there are
a great many of them, take comfort and
consolation from the remarks Of wri-
ter touching their class.
We seldom see genuine bashful
man who is not the soul OF honor.
Though such blush and stammer, and
appear awkward, shrug their shoulders,
and are unable to throw out with ease
the thoughts to which they would give
expression, yet commend us to bashful
men for real friends.
There are fine touches on their char
acter, that time will mellow and bring
out perceptions as delicate as the un-
folded rose, and their thoughts are none
the less refined and beautiful that they
do not flow with the impetuoSity Of a
shallow streamlet
1t is a wonder that such men are not
more appreciated; that young women,
with really good hearts and cultivated
intellects, will regard the gallant Sir
Mustachio Brainless with smiles and
attentions, because he can fold shawl
gracefully, and has dandy counte-
nance with Partisan elegance, while
they will scarcely condcscend to look up
on the worthier man, who feels for
them reverence so great that his very
glance is worship.
The man who is bashful in the pres
ence of women is their defender, when
the loose tongue of tho bold slandcrer
would defame thomi it is not he who
boasts of his conquests, or dAres talk
glibly of failings that exist only in his
imagination; his cheeks will flush with
resentment, his eyes fash with anger
to hearthe name of women coupled with
an OATH and yet he who would die to
defend them, Is the least honored by
the majority Of the sex.
Ladies, a word in your ear. Have
you loversi Would you possess a wor-
thy husband7 Choose, then, the man
whose delieacy of department, whose
sense Of your worth leaves him to stand
aloof, while others with less modesty
and no feeling, crowd around you. If
he bushes, If he stammers even at your
approach, consider these things so
signs of his opinion fyour sex, If he
is retiring aud modest, let a thousand
fortunes weigh him down, in balances
for depend it, with him your life will
be happier even in comparative power
ty, than with many that are surround
cd by the splendOr of palaces.

THURSDAY, JULY Is, 1869.
Going West.

Two years ago came to Colorado
with three young men from New York,
who had been drawn into the tide of
emigration to this Territory. They
bad left lucrative positions, and ardent
ly anticipated entering upon a prosper
ous career on their arrival. They came
at time when business was stagnated
at home, not for momeut imagining
that the same causes produced like eff
fects here. Finding no opening for
them in the line of business for which
they had been educated, and being,
physically, totally unfit for either agri-
cultural or mining pursuits, they left
the territory in disgust; and, doubtless,
to-day are loud in their condemnation
of the West. Theirs is but the history
Of hundreds who have unwisey come
here to try their fortunes.
The moral ofthis is easily apprehend-
ed. The utopian ideas Ofmen Of wealth
and position, who come out at govern
ment expense, or whose ample means
enable them to move with ease and
comfort from point to point, seeing on
lythe bright side of the picture, are
calculated to misead aud work material
harm to individuals who will surely be
deceived by the gliding Of the picture,
and bring the country thus described
into disrepute when the veil is lifted by
practical experience and the real state
Of affairs becomes apparent.
The desire for greed, and the anxiety
to accumulate wealth easily, which is
inherent in the human family will in
evitably prompt emigration to those
countries where the valuable minerals
are found. The influx of population
will come naturally, and without urg-
ing,-but, at this season, when there are
/ Indication of great immigration, it is
but Just that a word of caution should
be given to those who are looking
Westward.
! would say, first, let none come
who are afraid to work; or who are
willing to labor, but are untitled for
it, either by physical inability or prSvi-
our education and habits of life. Far
mers, and miners are needed, and their
labor will find ample remuneration,
Capitalists can obtain handsome divi-
dends upon their investments wisely
made; and the more that come here the
better. In word, the West invites
and needs emigration; but it must be
ofthe right sort, II. BARNARD, in Pact-
ards Monthly for Juy.

They shall long the earth possess
Blessed are the souls that hunger
And that thirst for righteousness.

They compassion shall obtain;
Blessed arc the pure In spirit,
They with God shall live and reign.
Blessed are the kind and peaceful;
They whose souls are i'll led with love
Shall bo called JehOyah's children,
And shall dwell with God above.
Blessed are the prosecuted

Unto them belongs kingdom

Thus they wronged the holy prophets
Who bore witness of the Lord.
