A Truthful sketch.

Let a man fail in business, what a
wonderful effect it has on his former
creditors! Men who have taken him by
the arm, laughed and chatted with him
by the hour, shrug up their shoulders
and pass on with cold How do you
do?" Every trifie of bill is hunted up
and presented that would not have seen
light for months to come but for the mis-
fortune of the debtor. If itIspaid, well
and good; if not, the scowl of the Sher
iff, perhaps, meets him at the corner. a
man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature. In prosperity
he sails along gently waited by ftvoring
smiles and kind words from everybody
He prides himself on his name aud spot
less character, and makes his boast that
be has not an enemy II the world
Alas! the change. He looks to the
world in differont light when the
reverses came upon him. He reads
suspicion on every brow. He hard
ly knows how to move-or to do
this thing or the other, for there
are spies about him, and writ ready
for his back. To understand what kind
or stuff the world is made of, person
must be unfortunate and stop payment
once in his lifetime. If he has kind
friends then they are made manifest
A failure is moral sieve; it brings
out the wheat and shows the chaff. a
man thus learns that words and pre-
tended good will does not constitute
real friendship. a8 On ra..-
President Cespedes has forwarded to
the Cuban Junta, New York, caskel
of rjewelry valued at $4,000 in gold
which ne desires to have sold for the
benefit of the patriot army. Tie articles
of greatest value are cluster pin con
tanning about twenty diamonds for
which he paid five thousand dollars in
gold, several diamond and pearl rings OF
rare design and work manship, and
number of watches, chains and unset
stones are among the collection. Donna
Cespedes contributes four bracelets, one
of which is worth six thousand dollars,
as a most beautiful work of the jewelers.
art Several patriot ladies of Cuba have
contributed valuable ornaments, and
even the soldiers in the field have offered
their watches, seals and finger rings, to
be converted into cash, in aid of the
cause. The money value of these patri-
otto offerings is little short of $50, 900.

and since that time he had been in the
great West India Islands, and seen n
great many OF his countrymcn at work.
and he could tell them much regarding
them, The emancipation IN the West
lndia Islands, he understood, took place
in 1860, aud the colored people became
very lazy, and then they got laborers
