COURAGE.

Because hold it sinful to despond.
And will not let the bitterness of life
Blind me with burning tears, but look
beyond
It's tumult and strife;
Because lift my head above the mist,
Where the sun shines and the broad
breezes blow,
BY every ray and every raindrop kissed
That Gods love doth bestow;
Think you find no bitterness at all:
No burden to be borne, like Christians
pack?
Think you there are no ready tears to fall,
Because l keep them back?
Why should hug life's ills with cold re-
serve.
TO curse myself and all who love me
Nay!
A thousand times more good than l de-
God gives me every day.
And in each one of these rebellious tears
Kept bravely back he makes a rainbow
shine;
Grateful take his slightest gift; no fears
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear, and when the
clouds are past,
One golden day redeems a weary year;
Patient l listen. sure that sweet at last
Will sound His voice of cheer.

SPANlARDS AND THE MAINE"
Capt. sigsbcc Tells of the Demonstra-
tons Against the Vessel.

Six bulls were killed at the Sunday
bull-tight. Our party arrived as the
first one was being hauled away dead.
After the fifth bull had been dispatched
1t was decided, % q considerable meas
ure in favor of General Parade, that
we should leave the building and return
to Havana early, SO as to avoid the
crowd. We therefore left very quietly,
just before the sixth bull entered the
ring. We tried to reach the ferry
promptly, so that we might return to
Havana on steamer having but few
passengers. Three members of our par
ty were successful in this attempt, but
General Lee, Lieutenant Holman and l
failed. On our arrival steamer had
just left the landing. We then hailed
n small passenger boat, and were pull
ed to the Maine. While General Lee
and l were conversing on the quarter
deck Of the Maine n ferry-boat came
across the bay, carrying back to Ha-
vana a large number of people from the
audience. There was no demonstration
of any kind. The passengers were
doubtless those who had left early, hop
ing. like ourselves, to avoid the crowd.
The next ferry-boat was densely
crowded. Among the passengers We're
number of officers of the Spanish
army and of the volunteers. AS the
ferry-boat passed the Maine there We're
derisive calls and whistles. Apparently
not more than fifty people participated
In that demonstration. 1t was not gen
eral. and might have occurred any
where. | have never believed that the
Spanish officers or soldiers took part.
1t Is but fair to say that this was the
only demonstration of any kind made
against the Maine or her officers, either
collectively or individually, 50 far as
was made known to me, during our WIS.,
it. Adverse feeling toward us was
shown by the apathetic bearing Of sol
diers when they saluted, or Of trades
men when they supplied our needs.
After the Maine had been sunk, and
when the Montgomery and the Fern
We're in Havana, Spanish passenger
bOatmen exhibited bad temper by with
holding or delaying answers to our
halls at night. The failure of the Span
ish authorities to compel the boatmen
to answer our halls impressed me as be-
ing very closely akin to active unfriend-
illness. 1t was at the time when the
Vizcaya and the Oquendo We're in Ha-
vana, using picket-boats and OCCASION
ally search-lights at night, apparently
to safeguard themselves Halls were
made sharply and answered promptly
between the Spanish men-Of-war and
the boats constantly plying about the
harbor Mt night. 1t must have been
plain on board the Spanish men-of-war
that the boatman were trifling with us.
This was after the Vizcaya had visited

In the first installment of his story
OF the "Merrmac' in tho December
Century, which is to be an unusually
attractive number, Lieutenant Hobson
lays no claim to having originated the
idea of blocking the channel at Santi.
ago. The sinking of the collier had
been ordered by Admiral Sampson, but
the commanding officer off Santiago had
not executed the maneuver when the
flagship arrived, and the working out
Of the plan, as well as its execution,
WAS intrusted to Lieutenant Hobson.
The preliminary steps are detailed in
this number of the magazine, and in
later issues the story of the sinking Of
the ship and the capture and imprson-
ment of her crew will be given at first
hand. This is the only account of his
exploit that Mr.. Hobson has written
for publication.
