CUBAN MoTHEa's SONG.


10. low little loved one | hold you
In the shade OF the sheltcring cane;
AS the husk holds the fruit would fold you
And shield you forever from bane:
Like an eagle that scars 10 the zenith
Would bear you TO bask In the sun.
But I'm weak as the fernleaf that eaneth
In the dusk eycrelade, little one.
Sleep, child, for your father is coming
From the war when the light shall come
back:
He will come with glad tdings and drumming
And with food and fine goods in his pack
For the days OF our hunger shall vanish
And the days of our freedom are near.
So sleep that your dreamings may Danish
The pangs of starvation and fear.
By-low, little fairy so slender.
And oherub you'll be by ard by.
For a mother heart guards you. my tcpdei.
Wee nursing. and never Sigh
That YOU give but song shall repay II
When your papa returns and we know
That our Cuba has none to beuny IL
And the land is our own--by low!

For The Post.


Dee, down in our ambitious hearts,
Where haughty Freedom lods her court
A thrill OF Joy ana longing starts
To life at each fresh war report.
Not that We fear or criticise
Our Nation s course Or its results;
The North and South one banner flies,
Tho common enemy repulsr.

We list Tut laugh our foes 10 scorn,
Thrones, trembling, totter to their fall
0ur soldiers each are soy'reigns born.
The laws whose mandates they obey
Are measures they themselves have framed
The man who guides our destiney
Is one whom we ourselves have named.
All Europe's nations hostile glover.
Aud swapping at our heels they fly:
As battle clouds about us lower,
They shrink to hear the eagles cry.
That eagles scream, whenever heard,
Has been the slogan Of the free:
TO despots that's a threatening word
|: sounds the knoll OF monarchy.
SPANS crimes do shrek aloud to heaven:
No; only that-they bother u s.
By sense Of right and duty driven.

The gage to battle has been thrown.
To those who sympathize with Spain
We say TO make her auarpfl your own,
The loss be yours to us'the gain.
To Alblons loyal Saxon sons

But reed no help from English guns

AND In thy friendship, freely given.
All hnglo-Sa races blend;

Lufkin, Texas, Dear Ilaphammer; We can
hardly realize that In 4 grave In far away
California lies the form OF our best loved
member What a sad thought that never again
will the Hap page be sraceG with the spicy.
cheerful and interesting letters of Guy Fagen'
He had so endeared himself to the Haps that
his sudden and unexpected death came like a
thunceibolt and let us stunned and bewll-
dered We condole with the grlef-stricken
family most sincerely, and If sympathy OF
friends can be any consolation under the try
inis circumstances they may be assured VIZ
ali share in their sorrow for his loss and
deeply sympathxe with them.
Though rieyec knew Guy personally, yet l
krew him so we'll through his letters il seems
as if myself had lost near friend. and !
am sure the feelings Of the other Haps are
the same The loss Of our friend calls for
our contemplation of another life toward
whiol. we are all tending. His death teaches
rs that soone. or later We must all make the
io,lney across that mystic river. II we have
our reunion one face will he missing, but let
us hope that in another life we will all meet
in q reunion where partings are unknown.
