An American gentleman travelling in

protest by a local board of charity to the
mayor of Havana dwells upon the fact that
between May last ana January, 1888, 2OOo
persons have died of smallpox in the city OF
Havana, anil, further, tn t, during the same

island have died. Santiago de Cuba contri-
buted over 1000 deaths. The protest goes to
state that the petitioners arc at the Begin
ming of an epidemic, and
that the authorities are doing
nothing. Rcgla and Guanabacoa, on the
harbor of Havana, are full of it. Cuban
apathy is best illustrated by the following
discovery, made within fortnight; 1t was
generally supposed that the city had propsI,

A company, with 100000 subscribed

other fishing in the Gulf of st. Lawrence and
on the coast of Labrador. 1t is also proposed
to look after wrecked vessels and take such
care of buoys as may be deemed suitable by
the authorities. The carrying out of this pro-
ject will require two bark-rigged steamers
of 800 tons, steam oil rendering establish

Never a word is said
But it trembles in the air,
And the truant voice has sped
To vibrate everywhere;
And perhaps far off in eternal years
The echo may ring upon our ears.
Never are kind acts done
To wipe the weeping eyes,
Bnt like flashes of the sun,
They signal TO the skies;
And up above the angels read
How we have helped the sorer need
Never day is given
But it tones the after years,
And it carries up to heaven
Its sunshine or its tears:
While the to-morTows stand and wait,
The silent mutes by the outer gate.
There is no end to the sky,
And the stars are everywhere,
And time is eterni y,
And the here is over there;
For the common deeds of the common day
Are ringing bells in the far away.

When Nature Weeps.

1t Is said that nature shudders
When a woman throws stone,
And that when she sharpens pencils
Then all nature gives groan.
But there's nothing that gives nature
More keen anguish and distress
Than to see struggling father
With babe he tries to dress.

the home-rule question is one on which both
