LA INMORALIDAD.

Bajo este rubro nuestro aprecia-
BILE colega La Voz de Cuba traza el
siguiente cuadro, impresionado sin
duda por la sociedad que le rodea.
Detras de una guerra prolongada
quedan siempre la inmoralidad y la
miseria. Ademas, q medida- que
avanza la civilization moderna, fun
dada en- el racionalismo y en- elides-
creimiento de las verdades eternas, la
conciencia de todas las classes socia-
les va, por decirlo asl, encaileciendo-
|se. Los bienes eternos Sc olvidan
por los eflmeros de esta vida: el es-
tudio de la materia aparta al pensa-
miento del estudio y la practica de
la religion: las sociedades secretas,
enemigas pertinaces de la Igl ssia, en-
gendran la indifereucia refgiosa: 9!
concubinato destruye la piedra an
gular del edi6cio social matandb en-
flor la familia ell afan de gozar y de
dominar absorbe la atencion de- Ia
mayorfa de los hombres que pudie-
ran por SUI prestigio infuir con su
ejemplo y consoles en- la conducta de
sus inferiores.
Por fortuna, en- Puerto-RicO no
ha llegado todavfa a extenderse en-
tan vasta escala la inmoralidad !; sin

Que egoista es la felicidad, Lucia!

He tardado un dia en- contestar to
carta porque cada hora que pasaba nae
convencia de que la inspire distinto
sentimiento, y luche mucho, con mi va
nidad primero, con mi situacion des-
pues, y por 1ltimo, con mi corazon. Ne
costo gran trabajo vencerme para deci-
dirme escribirte pero & veces csllar
es peligroso, y vale mas dar salida s las
palabras que SO complimen, y compri-
midas, amenazan con la explosion.
sOrees que Gabriel no to anna? 1 Me
hiciste de buena fe esta confesion2 Si
no tuviera la seguridad de que ha que-
rido interponerse entire Hector y .t1s
bajo esa apariencia de ridicula pater-
