We copy this from the New York Com.
7nercidl Adoertiser:
When the captive Goicouria was brought
face to face with De Rodas, the insolen!
Captain General called him a traitor.
Goicouria replied that he was there because
of strict performance of his duty, and of
his determination to achieve the indepen-
dence of his country or to die in her defense.
The charge of traitor, he said, could be
more appropriately applied to De Rodas
himself, because. having sworn fealty to
Isabel H.. and received numerous high
military distinctions at her hands, the cap
tain General had been false to his oath in
every particula ar. Moreover, while pro-
claiming and supporting liberty in Spain
he was in Cuba denouncing and Furnishing
it as crime.

speak mute devotion = that when you ad-
dress her your voice shall be gentle, loving
and kind. That you shall not despise her
because she can not understand all at once
your vigorous thoughts and mbitious plans,
for when misfortune and evil have defeated
your greatest purposes-her love remains
to console you. You look upon the trees
for strength and grandeur; do not despise
the flowers because their fragrance is all
they have to give. Remember, love is all
that woman can give-but it is the only
earthly thing which God permits us to carry
beyond the grave.
