RUsKIN says that peoples eyes are so in
tcnsely fixed on the immediate operation of
money as it changes hands that they hardly
ever reflect on its first origin or final disap-
pearance. They are always considering
how to get it from somebody else, but never
how to get it where that somebody else got
it. Whereas, the real national question is
sot who is losing or gaining money, but who
is making and who destroying it.

THE LONG STORY.

THE LONG STORY.
by WILLIAM sAwYRB.
The shadows Of the little wood
Closed rouad US in the burniag noon,
The lucent shadows Of the leaves,
Yet tender with the green Of June.
And there, while in happy dream,
We wandered inward from the sun,
Winding and turning at our win,
The famous story was begun.
A story prodigal or love,
Ofyouih, and beauty born of youth;
Of sorrow tempered by romance,
And trial gloriGed by truth.
Long, long ago, j. all had Glanced
Or was it haplY passing then?
1t might be true of any time
Since women were beloved Of men.
listened, yet I did not heed
A ripping voice was all heard,
That, softly eadeueed. had for me
The music Of a singing bird.
The tale went on, the voice I heard,
Yet all that recall is this
That earnest face, those dreamy eyes,
The little mouth too sweet to kiss.
The tale went on, with many pause,
With frequent ontburst OF delight,
As creaks and openings of the wood
It's hidden beauties gave to sight.
A pheasant cleaned across our path,
A squirrel shot a sudden turn,
And now the cuckoo sang, and now
We waded coolest breadths Of fern.
The little wood was long to cross
It's winding paths we're hard to find;
And hours had fed ere we emerged,
Aud left its pleasant gloom behind.
And then beside the rustic feuce,
Whence spread the meadows many a
mile,
We fingered idly hand in hand
And p'raps the tale went on the while.
The evening shadows heightened out
The heavy rocks winged home to rest
The little wood was fringed with light
Against the fercely flaming west
The sun set in a fsecy haze,
Through bars of crimson and Of gold,
The sky grew cool, the stars came out,
And yet the story was not told.

NEWSPAPER LAws.--We would call the special
attention Of Post Masters and Subscribers TO the
ISouIRER to tho following synopsis Of the News
paper laws:
/. A Postmaster is required to give notice by
ssfter (rsturning paper does not answer the law
when a subscriber does not take his paper out Of
the Office, and state the for its not being
taken; and neglect to do so makes the Fostmas-
ter repsoRsi6ls to the publishers for the payment
?, Any person who takes paper from the Post
office, whether directed to his name or another or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay
J. lfa person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
olleet the whole amount, ,ehsther Il be taken from
The Office or not There can be no legal diseontin-
uenee until the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at a certain time, and the publisher con
tiuues to send the subscriber is bound to pay for
It, if he takes it out Of the Post Office. The law
proceeds upon the ground that man must pay
for What, he uses.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers and periodicals from the Post Office,
or removing and having them nnealled for, is
primG facia evidence Of intentional fraud.

WORLDLY WISE.
BY ALICE CARY.
It was the boatman Rousalee,
And be sailed through the mists so white;
And two little ladies sat at his knee,
With their two little heads so bright;
And so they sailed-and sailed-all three
On the golden coast O. the night.
Young Ronsalee had handsome face,
And his great beard made him brown;
And the two little ladies in girlish grace
They kept their eyelids down.
The one in her silken veil Of lace,
And the one in her woolsey gown.
For one little lady lived in the wood,
Like flower that hides from the day;
Her name was Jenny-they called her the
good.
And the name C the other was May;
And her palace windows looked on the food
Where they softly sailed away.
Long time the balance even stood
With our Ronsalee that day;
But what was little house in the wood
To palace grand aud gray?
So he gave his heart to Jenny, the good,
And his hand be gave to May

TIE COMING WAR.

rfrfr TIE COMING WAR. T
The cable telegram from London that
initial steps have been taken for an alli-
ance offensive and defensive against the
United States, caused profound sensa-
ton here to-day and while the informa-
ton had no official character, there seem
ed to be general impression that the
news was true The pretext alleged in
the cable telegram is not accepted gener-
ally as plausible The President was sup
piled with copy of the dispatch the mo-
nent it reached Washington; and it was
shown by him to the members of the
Cabinet, Some of the latter looked upon
it as little sensational and intended to
affect the stock market. while others
thought that an official inquiry should be
made. Nothing having been received
from tho Legation in London, dispatches
were sent to night inquiring into the
truth of the report of the triple alliance,
WASHINGTON, May 13
The triple alliance story is effectually
exploded. No representative of this or
any other government in Washington
credits the statement and if It has any
foundation, it is believed to exist simply
in proposition made by Spain to France
and England to form an alliance to resist
the so-called aggressions Of the United
States towards Cuba; proposition that
so far is known not to have been con-
sidered in London. ...

HAVANA, May II,

via hE1 w ESf, MAY 10.
Private letters are received from rebel
sources giving accounts of another battle
between the Spanish troops and insur-
gents 1t. took place on the 3D. inst. at
Las Minas. The Spaniards numbered
1900 and were under command Of Gen.
Lesca. The rebel force was commanded
by Gen Queseda in person. One report
says before the fighting commenced,
Queseda posted the native Cubans in
front, protected by entrenchments, and
placed force of four hundred Domini-
cans and American volunteers in their
rear, with orders to fire upon them fthey
ran Thus placed between two fires, the
Cubans fought with desperation. The
Spaniards attacked the entrenchments
three times with the bayonet. The two
first assaults were repulsed BY the Cubans.
The third was very determined and Sc
we're, and the Cubans began to waver,
when Queseda ordered the rear guard to
the front They advanced, driving the
Cubaps into the front ranks Of the enemy.
A hand TO hand combat cnsued, in which
the butehery was horrible. The Spaniards
finally gave away but retreated III good
ordery Their lost is estimated at l60
killed and 800 wounded that of the Gu
bans 200 killed, and apropoHionate mum
Der wounded The forces Of Quesada af-
ter the fight marched to San Miguel and
burned the town in sight Of the ,rctreattng
Spaniards. 1t is generally believed that
the revolutionary leaders have changed
their policy in the field, and in the future
will light instead Of retreating to the
mountains on the appearance ofany con-
siderable force Of Government troops.
