Plant firmly the outer walls; -
Let the props be strong and the roof De hsh'
With an open turret toward the sky,
Through which the dsws may fall.
Let this be the room of yonr soul, young man,
When shadows shall herald care sfA ~
chamber with never a roof nor thatch
TO hinder the light nor door nor latch
To shut in the spirits prayer.
Build slow and sure, tits for life, young man,
life that outlives the breath
For who shall gainsay the Holy Word?
"Their works do follow them," saith the Lord,
"Therein there is no DEATH"
Build deep, and high, and broad, young man,

Let your titIe-deeds be clear and bright,
Till you enter your claim to the Lord of light

The News from Cuba.

rom the tenor Of our advices yesterday by
m!egr aph it would appear that the two expedi-
tions we spoke Of as having recently left this
country have both made successful landing
In Cuba. The steamer Salvador had returned
TO Nassau, where she had been seized by the
British authorities for violation Of the
Foreign Enlistment act-which is, in substance,
similar to our neutrality laws, though not so
humble as our law--complicated with charge
for violating the Passenger act by carrying an
excess Of passengers. The captain and por-
ton of his crew had returned to Key West,
but no information is given as to the place
where the expedition by this steamer was
landed. Our Havana kilograms state that
seven hundred men had landed In the Bay of
Nipe, fine and large harbor on the north
coast short distance east from Port Padre
The number of men Landed is evidently an
exaggeration. as no suob expedition he's bSsn

This is but one instance. We could cite
innumerable others if it were not that shipping
houses dare not brave the i'll will Of the man
who has the power to ruin them by word,
so absolutely omnipotent is he over the COM
merce Of this port.
How long will it take at this rate to drive
emigrant ships completely from this port
Here, in addition to all the fees that are justly
chargeable, man has the power to put on o
charge of seventeen thousand dollars where
five thousand dollars would be extravagant.
We put this problem to the railroad companies
interested in carrying passengers to the West.
Swinburne is evidently disposed to drive the
emigrant trade to Baltimore, for the benefit of
the Baltimore and Ohio road. How do the
Central, Erie, Hudson and Harlem like it

Quarantine.

We give below the very modest little bill Of
the Health Officer Of this port for medi cal at
tendance aud burial expenses for one ship
load Of emigrant passengers. Seventeen
thousand dollars Is the handsome total. This
amount was actually charged by the officer
and paid by the owners upon one ship at one
passage in the year 1866. We can scarcely
state the fact with sufficient iteration, the
figures seem so Incredible. Among the items
charged is the conveyance of the passengers
to the hospital ship. For this service five
dollars head Is charged. But we need not
analyze the figures; they tell their own story.
We need only to say that just as they stand
they are copied from the accounts of the firm
that had to pay the money

A Chapter OF Accidents,

" are accustomed day by da, to hear of
solhe calamity Of more or less disastrous char
acter III the city or its vicinity but the news
of yesterday furnishes a chapter Of accidents
such as we have rarely to record within the
space of twenty-four hours. We can sum th EN-
up briefy-a few strokes of the pen will accom-
plish that-but the consequences lie in the
the side of many hearthstones; and last, but
least, they have afflicted many pockets with
serious loss.
First, terrific fire at the oil works in Wee
hawken, which commenced in the afternoon of
Monday, severely burning several Of the work
men, flooding the East river with fire, de-
stroying one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars worth of property, causing
the loss of many vessels at anchor, and
several explosions, and continuing until yes
terday to obscure parts of this city with clouds
Of smoke. Next, at three o'clock in the morn
ing, fearful explosion of kerosene oil
occurred at Hunters Point, Brooklyn, destroy
ing seven lighters, Norwegian brig, the Ad-
vance, and burning down five houses in the
destructive spread of the flames. Later in the
day the steamtug William Parkes exploded
her boiler in the East river, at the foot of Wall
street, scalding four Of her crew. The ferry
boat Norwalk, plying to Couey Island, was
run into and almost sunk in the East river
near Fulton ferry, by tug, which cut into
her 50 deeply that she had to be towed rap
idly ashore, her crew escaping only by being
carried off in small boats. A large livery
stable was destroyed by fire in Brooklyn last
night, insuring loss of seventy-fve thousand
dollars.
These disasters, apart from the accounts of
murders and violent assaults recorded in our
columns yesterday and to-day, ill up fearful
chapter of accidents, which should admonish
us that some measures must be taken to de-
liver the city from the terrible state of things
which prevail here. First, the storage Of ex-
plosive oils in the vicinity Of the city should
be prohibited in fact as well as by law.

WEDNESDAY 26 UADRUpLE SHEET

OF Spain, backed by the moral support Of
England, against the United States on account
OF the Cuban difficulty or union with Great
Britain, regardless Of consistency, in refusing
the proper settlement of the Alabama claims,
and resisting and resenting the demands urged
by Mr.. Sumner (Which may or may not be Sc
riously pressed). Whether any Of these expe-
dients will prove to be the policy of Napoleon
remains to be seen. In the meantime we sub
NIT that either of them would be plausible
should no be hard pressed by the opposition.
France can only be tranquillized by liberal and
progressive Institutions; and liberty and pro-
gress are enemies to the empire.
