Of tho New Yori. Herald i'll regard to
Cuban affairs:
'I ought not TO mcdd!e in a question

prepared to finish up slavery III 1868 the

"Whcn Spain rcpresscs the insurrec-

tanned everything from a pamphlet to

"Tho collection is a very complete
history Of the carly struggles Of the

largely of the literature Of M~ethodism.

A RAILROADER's PRAYER.-An
old railroad man was converted as
the story goes, and was asked to
lead in prayer. Here is the way he
worked it: "Oh, Lord, that have
tagged Thee, lift my feet from off
the rough road of life and plant
them safely on deck of the train of
salvation. Let me use the safety
lamp known as prudence, make all
couplings in the train with the strong
link of Thy love, and let my hand
lamp be the Bible. And Heavenly
Father, keep all switches closed that
lead off on the sidings, especially
those with blind end. Oh, Lord,
if it be Thy pleasure, have every
semaphore block along the line show
the white light of hope, that / may
make the run of life without stop
ping. And, Lord give us the ten
commandments of schedule, and
when i have finished the run and
have, on schedule time, pulled into
the great, dark station of death, may
Thou, the superintendent of the
universe, say with a smile, sWel
done, thou good and faithful serv,
ant, come up and sign the payroll
and receive your check for eternal
happiness"
