lent for your outlay.

a very pleasant thing to go out of store

Indeed, one stands little pretty evident
cheating with placid complacency. if on

GEN. DULcE, late Captain General
of Cuba, who was forced to resign
by his volunteers, thus comedies the
independence of the Cuban patriots
in his farewell speech to his troops
"When I arrived in this island
found it in a blaze. In leaving IL to.
dan I consider It lost to the naOthe,
country, precisely through the same
process that caused the loss of oul
other possessions in America. Yo,
proclaim the independence of the IS
land the moment you decline sub
mission to the lawful representatives
of the National Government. You
may retire."
The soldiers to whom these words
we're addressed are the natural and
implacable enemies of civil and re
ligious liberty, while the Spanish au
thorities at Madrid are liberalists
who have recently accomplished 9
revolution in their own country. To
this fact alone may be traced the i'll
feeling existing between the Cuban
volunteers and the Spanish authori
ties. The existence of this i'll feeling
is a very lucky event for the Cuban
insurgents.

A Heavy Verdict.

One hundred thousand dollars is
rather stunning verdict in a case oil
breach of promise, but it is no more
than justice seems to demand in the
trial of the case of Amanda Craig
against E. S. Sprague, which has
just been concluded at Wheaton, Hi.
nois, by this verdict. Sprague ap.
pears 10 be a constitutional hypocrite
and liar, who continued his promises
and postponements for years after
he had determined not to fulfill, and
who then set gang of rascals upon
Miss Craig to fabricate testimony to
blast her reputation. There seems
to have been an abundance of PERU
ry on his side, some of it cunningly
devised, and some very clumsy. In
the latter category is his story OF
Miss Craig's revelations to him. In
the former was the game of q wit
ness going to Jail on pretense of pro-
fessional confidence, after having
told the worst he could invent, and
thus producing an effect, and escap-
ing cross.examinatinn. The jury
took this view of the case in their
award and il the verdict stripped
Sprague Of all his property it would
be but moderate penalty for his at.
tempt to strip her of her character
and make her an outcast.
1t is thought strange that awoman
of so much culture as is shown by
Miss Craig's letters could endure q
man so illiterate as Sprague's letters
show him to be. But Sprague seems
to have considerable business capac-
ity, and must have appeared much
better in person than by letter. H.
literate persons are apt to indulge in
extravagances when they attempt to
write letters, and particularly love
letters. 1t is likely that Miss Craig
regarded him as man of considera-
BILE knowledge Of the world, and OF |
good practical capacity, and good
man, but suffering from lack of an
early education. 1t is not new that
an illiterate man should be taken up
by q woman of culture. 1t is, we
hope, rare that man thus favored
mas repaid it with such villainy.
The verdict would be unreason-
able for q simple breach of promise
Of marriage, but it was for an at
;empt to escape the consequences of
his by a conspiracy to destroy the
character of the woman he had de-
,eived, and for this there is no yer.

AFTER WARD.

When life is lived, and come to die,
When ait" is all that once was 1,
Don't lay me where dark horrors lie,
In o tomb;
Where the dreary drip of the frosty stone,
Over the home of the silent thrown,
Shall wake no bud by spring wind sown
Through the gloom.
But when at last shall lay me down,
Let 1t be in the earth so warm and brown,
On the sunny hill by the little town,
Where they love me;
And then, as the mortal part shall wane,
These pulsing atoms in heart and brain
Shall live in the blossoms and grass again
Up above me.
And the flower 1 love, know not why,
Except for its honest, golden eye,
Which the daisy turns to the steadfast sky
From the sod,
Shall better tell than sculptured fame
How man redeemed shall live again,
When sleeping dust through timc has lain
Awaiting God.
So in the green earth's narrow cleft,
Fling down the caslket that IL left,
When jeweled life is then bereft,
All torn and dim;
BE thus to kindly Nature just,
And render back the borrowed dust,
Which held awhile Gods sacred trust
A soul for him.
