Recognition of Cuban independence.

Mr.. Carpenter introduced in the Senate, on
the 10th, the following resolution proposing
TO recognize the independence of Cuba. Ii
was referred 10 the Committee on Foreign
Relations:
Whereas, II is the clear ana und0ubted right %
any American colony TO sever It's connection with
the mother country. and establish itself Ms in
dependent nation whenever the good OF its people
require II; and whereas, the people of Cuba have
declared themselves tree snd independent OF
spain, have established governms mt for them
selves, and abolished negro slavery, and for
more than five years have successfully resisted all
the efforts OF spain to reduce them 10 submission
and re-establish the condition Of negro slavery
and whereas, the war between Spain and Cuba
has been and Is now being conducted with de-
gree of barbarity shocking Ia all ChristendOm,
and there Is no reasonable prospect that spain
will ever be able 20 re-establish dominion over
the ps ople OF Cuba; and whereas, in consequence
OF the proximity OF the seat of war To the United
States, the war mas been and Is injurious 10 the
interests OF the people OF the United states and
IL is evident that prolongation of the contest
will only result in great suffering and bloodshed.
10 be followed 10y The ultimate recognition OF the
Independence OF Cuba by spain herself; there
fore, be NJ
Rcs0ired by the senate and House of Repre-
sentatiyes OF the United States OF America, In
Congress assembled That IL has become the duty
OF the L nited States To recognize Cuba : one of
the independent nations of the earth, and that
the United States will observe strict neutrality
between the contending parties during the further
prosecution of the war, and will accord 10 each
of them b,lligerent rights and equal privileges
and advantages in all ports and places within the
United states

When the writer was boy, he used to re-

The Jack of Hearts.

The Jack of Hearts Whenever
hear these words my thoughts
wander back to one sunny May day,
when Clara Bell came on board the
bark of that name, of which craft
l was the proud commander.
1t was my first voyage as captain,
and we were bound for Santa Cruz,
ola Porto Rico. The clara Bell was
not a passenger ship, but a regular
West India sugar drogher, and I
was much surprised when the own
ers informed me that | would have
TO take charge of two ladies, who
were to be landed at Porto Rico.
AS may be imagined, l did my best
to make the cabin as pleasant-look.
ing as possiblc-bought canary, a
melodeon, and a dozen or two of
Towering plants, and prepared my
officers for the occasion. Mr..
Winke, my chief mate, had weak
ness for extreme undress, and pre-
ferred dining without the incum,
brances of coat and vest, Bill noff-
man, the second mate, had a pen
chant for eating his meals standing
in the stewards pantry, or on the
break of the poop, exposed al fresco
to the hungry gaze of the CREW.
With ladies on board, these eccen-
tricities had to be abandoned and
when the time arrived for our pas
sengers to embark, Mr.. Winke and
Mr.. Hoffman, arrayed in the tight
est and most uncomfortable suits of
navy blue, were at the gangway to
receive them. Unfortunately but
one lady made her appearance. l
say this because had our charming
passenger been accompanied by her
aunt, as was first intended, | should
not have been so long a deluded,
blind, conceited son of the sea.
The lady was introduced by one
Of the owners, Mr.. John Shocks, of
the firm of Bell, Shocks & Alewife.
He was a thin, nervous New Eng
lander, and after landing her upon
the deck, said, "Captain, low me to
introduce you to Miss Clara Bell "
and then left the ship as though it
were infected.
Now my father, who is an old sea-
captain, had come all the way from
New Bedford to see me off, and
was sitting in the cabin when Miss
Bell tripped aft. Noticed that he
seemed somewhat disconnected, and
when l had introduced my passen-
ger to him, and sent for the colored
stewardess whom had shipped for
the voyage, he motioned me to go
OH deck.
The lady begged that l would not
trouble about her, but attend to my

The Oid COu pie.


1t stands in n sunny meadow,
The house SO nOSsN and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimneys
And the gray roof slipping down.
The trees fold the r green arnls around 1t
The trees century old;
And the winds 20 chanting through them
And the sunbcams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill
And beside the brook on the pastures,
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them,
They sit in the sun alone!
A nd the old wiics tears are falling
As she harks to the well known tone
That won her heart in girlhood,
That has soothed her in many care
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks now of her bridal
How dressed in her robes of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh, the morning is as rosy IA ever,
But tn. rose from her cheek is fled;
And the sunshine still is golden.
But it falls on silvcred head.
And the girlho0l dreams, once vanished.
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremblc
With the thrill of spring-timc's prime
Aud looking forth from the window,
She think how the trees have grown
Since clad in her bridal whitencss,
She crossed the old door-stonc.
Though dimmcd her eyes bright azure,
And din,med her hairs Young gold,
The love in her girhood plighted
Has never grown dim nor old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine
Till the day was almost done,
And then, n its close. an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelids with balm
And their last breath tloatcd upward
Like the close of solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they traversed,
Tho unseen mystical road.
That leads to the beautiful city,
"Whose builder and maker is Cod
Perhaps in that miracle country,
They will give her lost youth ba elk,
And the flowers ofa vanished spring time,
Will bloom in the spirits track.
One draught from the living waters,
Shall call back his manhood's prime,
And eternal years shall measure,
The love that outlived time.
But the shapes they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair,
Made holy to lis by the kisses,
The angels have printed ther
We will hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west,
Where the sunbeams can not find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And We'll suffer no tcl-tale tombstone,
With it's age and date. to rise
Der the two who are old no longer,
In the Fathers House in the skies.
