summers, and took her for his thirt. wife, their
felicity was of short duration, for in less than

version of the affair, his wife now began to fig
ure in the courts. She filed her bill for di-
vorce and the case is still pending. But dur

over the affair, and called on his counsel for
advice, and was advised that the best method
of getting rid of his wives was to convey all
of his property to his attorneys and then die
out of the scFape. But the old man refuses to

BALLoU's MAGAZINE FOR FEBRUARY.--We
are glad to welcome the February number OF
Ballou's Magazine, for it is one of our favorites,
always bringing pleasure and comfort through
its well-stocked pages, which interest and
amuse. 1t makes the children happy, it
makes the ladies of the household happy, and
some of the burdens of life, at least
for time. There is always such variety in
the Magazine, that all tastes may be suited.
Here is a sea story, full ofwild adventure, here
a quiet domestic tale, and the next lovers
yarn for the sentimental (and at some time in
our lives we are little inclined that way }, elo
quent poetry, and many other features, too
numerous to mention. .Ballou's Magazine is so
cheap that all can take it without feeling in
the least impoverished. Why, it is only 81 so
per year, and pretty little Chrome thrown in,
OF 10 cents single copies; sum that person
often throws away in thoughtless moment.
Our advice is, take it, and enjoy it as we do.

INEXPENSIVE HAPPINESS.

The most perfect home ever saw was
n little house, in the sweet incense OF
whose fires were no costly things. But
the mother was the creator of . home;
her relation with her children was the
most beautiful that had ever seen even
dull and commonplace man was lifted
up and enabled to do good work for souls
by the atmosphere that this woman crea-
ted; every inmate of her house involun-
tarily looked into her face for the keynote
of the day, and it always rang clear.
From the rosebud or clover-leaf which,
in spite OF her hard house-work, she al
ways found time to put by our plates at
breakfast, down to the story that she had
on hand to be read in the evening, there
was no intermission of her influence.
She always has been, and always will be,
my ideal of mother, wife, and home
maker. an8g
fto her quick brain, loving heart and
exquisite face had been added the appli-
ances of wealth and the enlargementi of
wider culture, hers would have been abb
solutely the ideal home. As it is. it is the
best | have ever seen.

Irving Hall was filled with an audience Of some
seven hundred Cubans last evening to near q lee
ture by Mr.. Antonio Zambrana "a representative
OF the Cuban Congress who escaped from the island
in open boat the 7th OF last month";, entitled
1.-THE Present Condition OF the Cuban Insurrec-
tion.r The lecturer was introduced to the audience
by Mr. Pinero, who spoke in the highest terms OF
his bravery as soldier and his valuable services
In the Cuban Congress. Mr.. ZambraAa then
commenced his lecture by describing the noble
band at Yara who in 1853 swore to be free or die,
and depicted in graphic terms the progress Of the
revolution and how from an insignificant CON-
mencement 1t had grown to its present large d.
mansions. He then dwelt on the glorious beauty
Of their loved isle, and prayed the Father OF All
Mercies that In His good time He would give IL
back to the ong-sunerng Cubans, who mad sub

PETERBoRo, April T. 1873.
MY DEAR FRIESDs-The pamphlet entitled
"Slavery in Cuba" which your letter promised me,
has at last come. l have read 1t with interest
You ask me to write an article in behalf OF the
CUBAN cause. But am getting too old to write for
the press. Moreover 1t Is enough for me to say
that am still the friend OF that cause, much so
as l was when, few years ago, gave largely aud
repeatedly to the Cuban Aid Association in New
York, and as much so ~ I was when an article
from my pen, In behalf OF that cause, was published
in the New York sum.
As viewed IL our government should, long ago.
have conceded belligerent rights to the Cubans
struggling for freedom from the yoke OF Spain and
from the yoke OF slavery. Then, too. II this con-
cession had not resulted IN SUCH freedom our gov
eminent should have united with other govern
ments 70 put an end TO that Internal type OF
slavery which spanish power upholds in Cuba and
to the wholesale murders which this Power per-
sists IN perpetrating there.
The world liz too FAR advanced In q rational civi-
Zation and In an all-compre bending fraternal re-
gon that IL should any lsnger be allowable for the
nations to stand still while one Of them continues
10 indulge In the horried crimes OF which, II they
were ever guilty, they have thoroughly repented.
II Spain Will not cease from her singular and
superlafive wickedness the other nations should
make common cause against her aud stay her en-
shaving and murderous hand.
The Heavenly Father has placed the whole world
In the care OF the whole world the whole human
family In the care OF the whole human family The
conventional or human arrangement whereby "A
nation Is lett TO govern itself Ia wise, but IL does
sion. II such nation instead OF governing its sub
jects nationally snail sink into the madness OF EN-.
shaving and Strengthening them, then must the
other nations fau back uoon their original rght
