from Havana, copies OF cipher dispatch, which has
been sent friend of the Cuban cause in that eitys

Every spar was laid low, the rudder was
almost useless, and great leak had shown
itself, threatening to fill the ship. The crew
were all strong, willing men, and the
mates were practical seamen of the first
class but after pumping for one whole
night and the water still gaining upon
them, they gave up in despair, and prepar-
ed to take the boats, though they might
have known no small boat could ride i'm
such a sea. The captain, who had been be-
low with his charts, now came up; he saw
how matters stood, and with voice which
l heard distinctly above the roar of the
tempest, he ordered every man to his post.
1t was surprising to see those men bow
before the strong will of their captain, and
hurry back To the pumps.
The captain then started below To ex-
anime the leak. AS he passed me l asked
him if there was any hope. lie looked at

had crowded up to hear the reply, aud

when the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed;
oh, the little white arms that encirclo
My neck in tender embraced
Oh, the smiles that are halos Of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face
And when they are gone, sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
OF love that my heart will remember
When It wakes to the pulse of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
partner Of sorrow and sim
When the glory Of God was about me,
And the glory of gadncss within.
Oh! my heart grows weak as a woman's,
And the fountain Of feeling will flow,
when l think Of the paths, steep aud stony,
Where the feet Of the dear ones must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging DER them,
OF the tempest of Fate blowing wild!
oh, there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of child
They are idols of hearts and Of households,
They are angels of God in disguise;
Ills sunlight still sleeps in their trcssos,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes.
Oh! those truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly aud mild;
Aud know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom Of God to child.
ask not a life for the dear ones,
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare Of the sun;
would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself
All! seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself.
The twlg is so easily bended,
I have banished the rule and the rod;
have taught them the goodness of knowledge,
They have taught me the goodness Of dod.
MY heart is a dungeon Of darkness,
Where shut them from breaking rule;
My frown is sufficient correction;
Ny love is the law Of the school.
1 shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse it's threshold no more;
All how I shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the doorl
shall miss the good-nights and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
/ shall miss them at morn and at evening,
Their song in the school and the street;
shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tramp Of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And Death says "The school is dismissed!'
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed.
