OF a perfect aud cordial friendship be-

people, conscious of their powers, are

determination not only to remove the
causes Of complaint in the past, hut to lay
the foundation of a broad principle Of

States schooner Lizzie Major was ares
ted on the high seas by a Spanish ffigate,
and two passengers were taken from it
and carried as prisoners to Cuba. Re-
presentations of these facts were made
TO the Spanish Government as soon as
sufficient information of them reached
Washington. The two pass, ng,rs were
set at liberty, and the Spanish Govern
mrnt assured the United States that the
Captain of the %frigate, in making the cap
ture, bad acted without law that he had
been repfimanded for The irreeulari'y Of
his conduct, and that The Spanish autho-
rites in Cuba would not sanction any act
that could violate the rights, or treat with
dlsrespect the sovereignty of this nation.
The question of the seizure of the brig
Mary LoweN at one Of the Bahama Islands
by Spanish authorities is now the subject
of correspond nee between this Govern
meat aud those of Sp in and Great Bri-
lain. The Captain, General of Cuba,
about May last, issued a proclamation
authorizing search TO be made Of vessels
on the high seas. Immediate remon-
STRANGE was made against this, wlereupon
the Capram-Gencral issued a new procla-
nation, limiting the right Of sharch TO
vessels of The United States so far as au-
thorizeh under The treaty Of 1895 this
proclamation, however, was Immediately
Withdrawn. / AVE always felt that the

Toward the close of the last Admin
s%iration a convention was signed at Lon
don for the settlement Of all outstanding
claims between Great Britain and the
United States which failed TO receive the
advice and consent of the Senate to its
ratification. The time and the circum-
stances attending the negotiation of that
treaty were favorable TO its acceptance by
the people of the United States, but its
provisions were wholly inadequate for tie
settlement Of the grave wrongs that had
been sustained by this Government, as
well as by is citizens.

vague idea seems TO prevail with some
that good COW makes her milk IN some mys.
ferrous way, drawing 1t from the depths Of
her moral consciousness rather than from the
food which she puts INTO her machine. Some
farmers seem to act upon this theory and thus
take pans not to supply their cows with
plenty OF good succuent food. Verify, these
sol silcoX farmers have their reward then
cows look meanly, feel meany, and give as
little milk as possible. These men take nc
prizes at agricultural festivals they envy
those who do, and they are apt to be slow
about paying up their grocers bills. There
are number OF them about the country, but
we trust the last will soon die out
good COW deserves better man than
that. a good COW does her utmost to minis
ter to our pleasure and profit, and deserves
careful ana good treatment. Remember that,
after sor', she Is violating her nature to
please us. The natural or wild COW gives

and then runs dry some eirht or nine month";
Of the year while our COW gives her milk

We deprive her of the pleasure Of sucking

Sowing Wild Oats.

Young man Do your friends say of you,
with benevolent iorbeariug smile "Oh
he is only sowing his wild oats. lie will
come out all right by and by?"
If so, do not believe them. Remember
that a voice true as Heaven, and thrilling
and solemn as Death, comes down to us throi
the ages saying in trumpet tones, " What
scorer a man Soioetb that shall he also reap. "
If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirl-
wind. 1t is vice, riot, dissipation and in
temperance, you may be sure of harvest of
shame, disease, and early death here Of re-
morse, unutterable agony, and the most terri
Bile despair in the world to come Did you
ever see man sow weeds, and raise crop
of beautiful flowers 2-sow wild grass and
raise grain 2-sow thorns and gather rich
fruit?
Whatsoever man soweth that shall he
also reap If the farmer does not sow in
the spring-time, but waits till the summer
heats come on, his crop comes up poorly, aud
Is nipped and blasted by the early frosts !;
and all his labor is lost for season. And
inst so it is in human life Our nature is
such that we cannot help sowing, and having
sown in our minds by others seed of some
KIND that is sure to spring up and bear a
crop. What others sow in our minds in child
hood, we cannot prevent and often have rea-
son to depore; but for what we sow ourselves
in our own and other minds in later years We
shall certainly be responsible. The crop we
raise-the fruit Of all our earthly labors,
must compose the sheayes all will be required
to bring into the heavenly harvest Ii they
are composed Of tares, we are assured that
they will be burned If they are poor, and
meager, they may be accepted as the best
We can bring through a sincere but late re-
pcutance But if they are rich in the prec-
ious fruits Of love, charity aud self-sacrifco
for the benefit of the human race and a elo-
rlous example Of patience aud perseverance,
in the cause Of truth and righteousness, then
shall we bring precious sheayes into that
heavenly harvest.
And is not this something to think of Sc.
riously; something to strife for earnestly
Can you in the solemn night watches look
forward to that time when the tares shall be
bound in bundles, and the wheat gathered
into the heavenly garner, and still continue
