A False Step.

Sweet. thou hast trod on heart.
Pass there's world full Of men;
And women as fair as tLou art
Must do such things now ana 'hen'
Thou only has stepped unaware
Malice not one can impute;
And why should heart have been there
In tho way OF fair woman's footP
1t was not q stone that could trip,
Nor was 1T thorn that could rend;
Put up thy proud underlip.
Twas merely the heart ofa friend.
And yet, peradventure, one day
Thou, sitting alone at the glass,
Remarking the bloom gone away,
Where the smile in its dimplement was.
And seeking around thee in vain,
From hundreds who fattered before,
Such word as "Oh I" not in the main,
Do held thee less precious, but more.
Thou'lt sigh, very like. on thy part.
"Of all I have known, or can know,
wish had only that cart
trod upon ages agol"

The Adiutant General of the Cuban
forces, Gen. Jordan, writes a letter giving
considerable information of the military
status of the army with which he is con-
nected. According to his authority Gan
he certainly ought to know the army of
Cuba numbers 26, 500 men under arms,
besides 10000 liberated slaves, armed
with the machetas-a weapon half hatch
Of and half meat-ax. The want of the
patriots is, he saws, arms and clothes. If
they had 5000 stands of arms, he Is
very sure they could end the war in ninety
DAYS. Remembering the ''nincty days
prophcsics of our war, this means IN three
or four years. The especial need OF the
army is artillery, of which il is almost en-
tirely destitute. The clothing is needed
mainly by the women, who, in myriads Of
! instances, are actually suffering for the
most indispensable articles of dress The
! patriotism of the Cuban ladies is said to
I've undaunted 10y hardshipS. The time is
! fast nearing when Spain must either make
! good her claim TO rule that island or form
| ally surrender it forever. The present
| condition Of things will not be tolerated
hv the United States very much longer.
The time has already come when We can
acknowledge Cuban belligerency without
violating the comfy of nations or embar-
RAISING our Alabama claims.
