ton With the recognition of the Republic of Cuba
The proclamation Of the Republic Of France was
done in a hasty manner by a few excited citizens
Who had rushed 10 a hotel for that purpose; but
the proclamation Of the Republic Of Cuba was
deliberate, after years Of mature consideration,

of the United States would recognize the change,
and gave the Cgbans moral aid and an opportunity

WET BLANEETS.-We read in the
Book that there is time 10 laugh
ana time to weep, and yet there are
some people who do rot seem to believe
this You see them every day, their
solemn look casting a gloom on all
around them If they 90 into a room
where there is any kind OF amusement,
a chill is suddenly thrown over those
present, and pleasure is at an end.
They are animated wet blankets.
They cry down all amusement, however
innocent They forget that young PEG,
pie are full Of life and spirit which must
have vent, and if checked in innocent
enjoyment they will embrace the creed
that stolen fruit is the sweetest, and
if they 90 to the bad who is to blame ?

can be attributed TO this rigid austerity
towards children If there was more
laughing and more amusemenls, the
latter conducted, Of course, in modera-
ton, we believe there would be fewer
parents grieving over dissipated chill
